Signs of the Times

---

In 2 Timothy 3:1-5, the Bible states the following:

In the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, truce breakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, high minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 

In Matthew 24:3-5, the disciples came unto Jesus Christ privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the age?

And Jesus answered and said unto them, TAKE HEED THAT NO MAN DECEIVE YOU. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

In Matthew 24:11, 23-26, Jesus continues to warn the disciples, And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; BELIEVE IT NOT. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; BELIEVE IT NOT. 

Read Jeremiah 24 to learn about the parable of the fig tree.

In Matthew 24:32-36, Jesus speaks, Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. 

In Matthew 24:37-39, Jesus refers to the days of Noah and compares it to the end of the age. He states, But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 

Satan has distracted us through entertainment. And aren't we entertained? Take a look around us.  

In Matthew 24:42-44, Jesus tells us to WATCH therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. But know this, that if the good man of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.  

Beware of people who set end time dates

Matthew 24:36 "But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only" 

Be ready at all times!
