This talk will examine the conditions pertaining to the Second Coming according to the Lord & the apostles in the New Testament. A template can be developed from scriptures which can be used to compare it with present world events. The picture that emerges leaves no doubt we stand at the conclusion of prophetic fulfillment: events happening in the world today scream at us as to the nearness of the Lord's return. Without speculating on the timing of the Lord's return there is almost unanimity among many Bible prophecy teachers that we are living in the last of the last days.
At the centre of these signs is the nation of Israel. Jew hatred, often in the guise of anti-Zionism (against Israel), and of Jews worldwide (including the United States, often fueled by biased media reporting), erupts worldwide with a force unseen since Hitler's Holocaust. Then it was national and regional. Today it's global. Any sympathy for Israel after October 7th 2023, with the greatest carnage of Jews by Hamas since the Holocaust 80 years ago, quickly evaporated, replaced by satanic hatred. What's even more stunning is that even "Christians" and churches participate in vitriolic outbursts against Israel. At best the pulpits are silent. There seems to be a lack of discernment in the Church. Many Christians are clueless, and/or, indifferent. In the midst of war on several fronts in Israel, there is rising, unstoppable expectation among the orthodox Jews for the 3rd Temple.
We will also review other conditions of the world as spelt out in the apostles' writings. How could they know of the world's conditions today almost 2,000 years ago? Never has the world descended into such moral chaos where every value is inverse: "black is white, evil is good." Formerly Christian Europe now persecutes Christians; the world united in pagan earth worship using pseudo scientific terms coming from the highest level from NGOs, supra-national organisations such as the U.N, W.H.O, governments, etc. At the same time mankind's desire to achieve "immortality" is accelerating with breathtaking technological advancements in A.I., trans-humanism, and organ transplants/harvesting in certain country.
As darkness descents it's time to take stock of our individual walk with the Lord.
