The Signs of the Times
God's indicators of His prompt second coming!
The signs of the times , and of the end of the world are fulfilling so rapidly and occurring so frequently that instead of professed Christians being awakened and activated to finish God's work in the earth, they are becoming accustomed to, anesthetized by, and blinded to these signs. Because of their love of this world, the very things that should be awakening them are putting most professed disciples to sleep, and into a false security. Jesus says to all such, "O ye hypocrites, you can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times." Matt 16:3.
Our Lord and Master clearly enumerates the signs of the times and of the end of the world for His children in Luke chapter 21. Christ declares that deceivers who claim to be the Son of God-Christ shall arise and draw many. There shall be wars and commotions, nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be many great earthquakes, famines, and pestilences. Fearful sights and great signs shall there be in the heavens. God's people will be persecuted and cast into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for His name's sake. The people of God will be betrayed by parents, brethren, kinsfolk's, and friends, and many will be put to death. God's people will be hated of all men for Christ's sake.
We must, under the influence of, and illuminating light of, God's inspiration - the Holy Spirit, correctly view the signs of the times, that they may have their heaven designed effect on our minds, hearts, and actions. May God be our help!!!
