The Seven Signs of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ

The Seven signs of the Second coming of Jesus Christ

These signs are being fulfilled before our very eyes; they indicate that His return to earth is imminent! Get ready! Get ready! Jesus is coming soon!

SIGN #1: Signs in the Religious World

“Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many” (Matthew 24:4, 5).

Jesus was telling the disciples that false prophets would arise, and that the false prophets would tell the Jewish people that their city and temple would not be destroyed, as He had predicted in 70 AD. This warning was also given to those of us living in the last days of earth’s history.

False, deceptive teachings abound today. Many claim to speak for Jesus, but we can’t always trust what they say. That is why we need to study the Bible for ourselves and understand the truth of God’s Word—as found in the Bible. In fact, Jesus warns us that we need to be doubly aware of deception down here at the end of earth’s history:

“Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe it. For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. See, I have told you beforehand. Therefore if they say to you, ‘Look, He is in the desert!’ do not go out; or ‘Look, He is in the inner rooms!’ do not believe it” (Matthew 24:23-26).

Jesus explains very clearly that false teachers of the Scriptures will change His words and perform miracles to prove they are representatives of God. Some will even say, “Jesus has come and is speaking and performing miracles in town or in a retreat center outside of the city.”

When this happens, Jesus says that you should not listen to them. “It is not Me,” He warns, “because when I return to the earth, everyone will know it! In fact, My return to the earth will be like lightning flashing across the sky; everyone will see it” (see Matthew 24:27).

SIGN #2: Peace Plans and War Preparations

Jesus said of the last days just before His coming:

“You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom” (Matthew 24:6, 7).

Before the 20th century, war had never been waged on a truly worldwide scale; but in that century, nearly every significant nation on earth joined in two great global conflicts. A study conducted by Cornell University in the early 2000s, titled Deaths from Wars and Conflicts in the 20th Century, estimates that 231 million people died in these conflicts. It’s a number so big that it’s hard to comprehend!

Since World War II, we’ve lived with the knowledge that one push of a button could turn our world into a heap of radioactive rubble. No wonder the Bible speaks of God destroying “those who destroy the earth” (Revelation 11:18).

We live in a strange world. Some would say we are on the brink of WW III with the unrest in the Middle East and in Russia and Ukraine. Everyone agrees that we should give peace a chance, yet we keep engaging in armed conflicts. Old hostilities flare into open conflict. Terrorism has placed the world on what appears to be a permanent war footing. The prophets Micah and Joel predicted that at the very ti
