The End of Times as Foretold in the Revelation

When talking about “Revelation” from the Bible, it can really strike quite a fear on me. It’s because basing from what is currently happening around us, particularly the world, written and prophesied on the Holy Scriptures are slowly being fulfilled.

The Bible particularly the second book called, “The New Testament” is where you can read Revelation. This is the final scripture where it describes the End of Times but in parable form.

Although, it is not completely in parables where there are also some direct details especially the signs that indicates the beginning of the End of Times.

The Signs of End of Times


Jesus actually had provided us some very important clues in the form of signs about the End of Times. These signs involves worldwide events which ensure that every Christians at any part of the world will become aware that the final prophecies are now being unfold.

So what are these signs?


Great Earthquakes


I wanted you to take a very close look at the two words “great earthquakes” from Luke 21:11. If you noticed it, the event is in plural form which means, there will be a lot of earthquakes that will occur around the world.


As for the word “great”, we can easily translate what it exactly mean in relation to earthquake. It means powerful or very strong that can cause so much damages, casualties and for the worst part are a lot of deaths.

According to Wikipedia, the total earthquakes worldwide that occurred back in 2017 alone was 12,860 where there was one that reached the highest magnitude scale. It happened in Mexico in the 8th of September.

As time goes on, the occurrences of earthquakes will only become more common and more violent.

Plagues


Plagues are now more commonly considered today as very infectious type of diseases. In the past few years, there were so many of them that suddenly surfaced which affected both humans and animals.

Famines


You might be living from a place where you have sufficient or abundant source of food. If you do then you should be thankful because on some parts the world, there are so many people suffering from famine or starvation.


According to Washington Post, famine around the world is now threatening the lives of about 20 million people. This is a number far greater than the number of people who suffered starvation in the past WW2.

There are three main causes of starvation and they are the following:

1. War and Conflicts

War and conflicts simply bring nothing to us but destruction. The news today are now filled reports about them.

Just to name a few of these countries, we have Congo, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Central African Republic, and so on…

These countries got devastated due to conflicts which left many of their residents suffering from hunger.

2. Greed

People have now become so greedy that they wanted so much wealth. Thus, countless commercial establishments are built resulting to the increase of pollution in all aspects of our environment.

Pollution has a huge impact against crops and animal livestock. When crops are exposed to a polluted environment, they get injured, reduced their growth and yield, and result to premature death.

3. Natural Unknown Cause

For some unknown reasons, animals just end up dying so as some edible plants are now becoming extinct.

Great Signs from the Heavens


Just search either Google or Youtube by using the keyword “UFO Sightings”. You will get tons of result complete with photos and recorded videos of many strange objects floating from the sky.


In the past, common UFO objects sighted are those flying saucer shape spacecraft. Now, there are many other much stranger things such as the floating city witnessed by many individuals in Yeuyang, China.

We may never know what exactly they are, but there is one thing for sure. They are considered signs of the End of Times prophesized in the Bibles ages ago.

Moreover, with all of the signs already happening around us today, we should all come into our senses and draw ourselves much closer to Jesus Christ by learning more about his teachings from the Holy Bible.
