To add to that, He said specifically what those signs would be.
Jesus didn't just say there will be nondescript signs in the heavens. He said exactly what those signs would be, and when they would be.
Matthew 24:29-30.
Immediately after the distress of those days
“‘the sun will be...
I don't think the Lord needs to keep his plans secret from Satan for fear that the devil could somehow circumvent them. The Bible is explicit, after all, about Satan's end and how it will happen.
Even if he knew when the Rapture was, there's not a thing he could do to prevent it. The fact that...
Iran is run by Islamist mullahs. It's a lot different. Nobody becomes president there, or even runs for political office, who isn't loyal to the clerical establishment.
Ali Khamenei has claimed Iran is a democracy. That is not a claim that the west takes seriously.
Not even the only mass kidnapping in Nigeria this week. Boko Haram abducted 400 people from IDP camps on Sunday.
Nigeria hasn't collapsed into state failure like Haiti or Somalia did but that seems inevitable at this point.
I'm sure they would have if they had a shot at them. Whenever Israel has had (allegedly) red heifers, there's threats and security around them going back to the 1990s. It is seen as a clear indicator of Israel's intent to build on the Temple Mount.
Christianity is also growing fast in Africa. 25% of the world's believers are there.
But Islamic State is in Africa too. When they lost their territory in the Middle East they went down to Africa and are trying to set up a new caliphate down there. Many of Africa's governments are weak or...
In my view the "dividing of the land" is a past event. Joel 3 speaks of specific instances in which nations did this; vs 4-6 and also 19. When Israel was invaded, plundered and its land "divided up" as in the spoils of war.
A Palestinian state is unlikely to end tensions in the region. It's...
Earthquakes, disease, famine, persecution and wars have always been too. But those things were specifically listed by Jesus as heralds of the end.
Jesus also mentioned a departure from truth (Matthew 24:10); but he listed it as coinciding with the rise of false prophets and messiahs that would...
I am not sure which one you are referring to, specifically. International Fellowship of Christians and Jews? That one is a legitimate charity, to help Jewish people in need. But its name is also misleading. They will take our money, but they don't want to hear anything about Jesus.
With any...
The one world religion, if there will be one, wouldn't be Islam. If their goal was to amalgamate all the world's religions, (it isn't). Even "Chrislam", which generates such concern for some people. Serious adherents of both Christianity and Islam would never accept such a thing.
The one world...
From my POV, the generation not passing away is Jesus speaking to the assurance that prophecy will be fulfilled. He uses similar terminology elsewhere (Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away).
We don't need to stress about time frames because the signs of Matt 24...
The return of Christ needs to be relevant and meaningful. Even many prophecy teachers have lost the ability to relate this to their audience.
Prophecy shouldn't be controversial but it is. People are jealously defensive of their eschatological position and become embittered and even nasty...
