Do You Feel There is Enough Evidence...?
Do you feel that there is enough evidence that the signs of the times....? are proving to us we are in the very last days? Have the asteroids and meteors been getting more frequent and closer and more dangerous? Think of what happened in Russia just about 10 days ago I guess. Windows are smashed, many were injured, and other disasters because of meteors.
Answer:
Natural disasters are not a sign of the end times.
Mat 24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
The "Beginning of Sorrows" is not the end times.
If we read further in the chapter and the next we are given things to look for and to understand that we are at the end.
Fig tree blossoming---easiest evidence to go by---1948 Establishment of Israel as a nation--and the generation that sees this will not pass away until all is fulfilled. (Scriptural generation is 70 or 80 years) Psalm 90:10
The abomination of desolation which Daniel talked about--while the identification of who that is has been known for centuries--this has to do with it coming back into power again (Zech 5:11, 2Th 2:3, Rev 13:12-18; Rev. 17:12) To understand these, you must understand Daniel's Image, Daniel 7 and these Revelation scriptures and the true meaning of 1260 days (it is years not literal days). This is all part of the man of sin, the antichrist. We can already see the image of the beast in the workings--not vitalized yet, but forming.
Psalm 83--we can see the Middle East gearing up for this, it is only a matter of time.
The waxing cold of Christians and their losing the faith. Luke 18:8
The Scoffers 2 Peter 3:3, Jude 18. The books of Peter and Jude tell us what to expect in the Church--these scoffers/mockers are not atheists, but professed Christians.
We don't need to look at natural events, they are just a distraction to divert us from what is important--we need to look at God's Word to understand what He says to look out for.
