Signs Of The TimesShembull

DAY ONE: Stay Alert to the Signs In the pages of the Bible, God has given us “signs of the times,” if we will look for them. And these signs are telling us that Jesus Christ is coming again, and soon. What are some of these signs of the times? The re-gathering of the nation Israel to its ancient homeland is a gigantic and unmistakable sign of His soon-coming. Linked closely to that important divine indicator is the Bible’s warning that after the Jewish people have re-gathered in their homeland, their enemies will threaten to destroy them. Anyone who follows the news, of course, will immediately think of Iran’s ongoing threats to “wipe Israel off the map.” We can look around the world on any given day and watch as events unfold just as the Bible predicted they would in “the last days.” What kinds of events? Things like global turmoil, an increase in earthquakes, tsunamis, the crash of the stock market, rapid changes in the global economy, the fading of the United States of America as the economic superpower, the rise of a united Europe, and the move toward a one-world currency. Signs of the times. Jesus told us that we are to be aware of the times and the seasons. In other words, to stay alert and keep our eyes open.
