SIGNS OF JESUS' SOON COMING

Like a woman’s labor pains, the Frequency & Severity of the Signs increase until Jesus comes. 1 Thessalonians 5:2, 3; Matthew 24:7, 8 I look forward to Jesus' soon coming, because then He will take us out of this crazy world and into Heaven!

The signs increase in intensity as we near the world's end.

SIGNS IN THE PHYSICAL WORLD
Increase of Earthquakes/Disasters [Weird/Violent Weather?] (Matthew 24:7; Luke 21:11, 25)
Famine, Strange new Diseases & Pestilence (Matthew 24:7; Luke 21:11)
Signs in the Sun, Moon and heavenly bodies (Matt 24:29; Luke 21:25)

SIGNS IN THE BUSINESS WORLD
Disgruntled employees, labor and employer problems, (James 5:1-5)
Increase in Knowledge (Daniel 12:4)

SIGNS IN THE POLITICAL WORLD
Disregard for Justice (Isaiah 59:12-14; James 5:6)
Fear, Distress, Perplexity Everywhere (Luke 21:25-28)
Wars & Rumors of War (Matthew 24:6, 7; Luke 21:9, 10)
World Leaders & Pastors preach “Peace & Safety” (1 Thessalonians 5:2-6)

SIGNS IN THE SOCIAL WORLD

False christs/prophets - false “bible” teachings (Matt 24:11, 24; 2 Thess 2:1-12)

Wow, how can we get any closer? It sure feels like something is about to happen, doesn't it? One can only rejoice that this old world of sin may be about to end.
