THE SIGNS OF HIS COMING

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: THE SIGNS OF HIS COMING

Text: Mark 13:28-31

A. v. 28-29 They Are Clear Signs – It was spring time when Jesus uttered these words. He and His men were sitting on the side of the Mount of Olives, v. 3. All around them were the signs of life that document the transitions of the seasons. Jesus uses a fig tree to illustrate the truth He wants His men to understand.

Jesus uses the fig tree to teach a spiritual truth. When a fig tree puts forth its leaves, it is a clear sign that summer is on the way. It is a clear sign and nothing can be done to change it. Summer is coming, thus men need to prepare for summer weather. So, Jesus says, when people see the signs He has mentioned in these verses, they will know the end is near.

What signs has He mentioned in these verses? He has mentioned many things, most of which will be fulfilled during the days of the Tribulation. Let me give you a brief overview of the events Jesus said would come to pass in the last days.

1. There will be many false Messiahs – v. 6, 21-22.
2 There will be wars and rumors of wars – v. 7.
3. There will be turmoil among the nations of the earth – v. 8.
4. There will be persecution of the people of God – v. 9-13.
5. The Antichrist will come to power on the earth and will declare himself to be God, and he will demand to be worshiped – v. 14.
6. The earth will pass through a time of divine judgment called the Tribulation Period – v. 14-20.
7. The heavenly bodies will fall from their places, the sun and the moon will not give their light, and the universe will be plunged into darkness – v. 24-25.

Clearly, Jesus is describing the terrible days of the Tribulation Period, a time yet to come to this world. Even though this time is still future, we can already see all the pieces falling into place. This world is preparing itself for the fulfillment of God’s prophecies. The signs are everywhere! Only the spiritually blind refuse to see what is as plain as day and now that you know all you need is to be born again. Accept Jesus Christ as lord and saviour delay can be dangerous. Jesus love you.

LET US PRAY
