Recognizing Signs Pointing to the End Times Are We Living in the End Times? - Updated & Expanded edition The signs of end times we see today point to the second coming of Jesus Christ. Also, the signs we see today do not point directly to the rapture of the church. For example, if we see signs pointing to Christmas we know that Thanksgiving is even closer. In the same way, when we see signs pointing to the second coming of Jesus and we know that the rapture will take place before Jesus returns, then we know that the rapture is even closer then the return of Christ. So, what are some of the specific signs to point to the Lord's soon return? The signs of the end times that point to the Lord's soon return are plentiful; in fact, they are everywhere and as one person has said. "I am no longer looking for signs; I am listening for the sounds!" What is a prophetic sign? Countdown to the Apocalypse: Learn to read the signs, The last days have begun Basically, it is a prophecy concerning either a historical events, or a technological development that will characterize a future time. There were Messianic signs pointing to the first coming of Jesus Christ and there are prophetic signs pointing to His second coming. It is the second set of signs of the end times pointing to Jesus’ second coming that we will be discussing here. One of the most important signs pointing to the second coming of Christ has been fulfilled and that is the re-establishment of the nation of Israel. Isaiah 11:10-12; Ezekiel 37:1-12; Amos 9:13-15 and Zechariah 12::1-3 prophesy that in the last days, right before the return of the Lord, the nation of Israel would be re-established – that happened in May of 1948. In Matthew 24:34 Jesus said that the generation that saw the re-establishment of Israel would not pass away before all the prophetic signs were fulfilled His second coming. The problem for us today is there is little agreement on how long a generation is. Some say 40 years – but 40 years has passed since Israel was re-established; some say 70 years; some say 80 years and some say 100 years. No matter, if God had wanted us to know He would have made it clear. If we knew exactly, or even close, many people would put off doing what God wants them to do until the last minute – and then it would be to late for many people. The point is, it is close, the rapture of the church will precede the second coming of Christ; our job is to be ready by doing kingdom work now and watching the signs. A Brief Overview Of Some Of The Signs Of End Times The New Temple and the Second Coming: The Prophecy That Points to Christ's Return in Your Generation The book of Revelation shows us that the sign will increase in number and intensity the closed we get to the second coming. The problem for us is we see an increase in number and intensity in many of these signs today, but we have no way of knowing just how much worse these signs can become.
