The arrival of Jesus on Earth coincided with a period of great spiritual need. No of a person’s gender or color, he came to save them all. Jesus Christ demonstrated his love for everyone who were in need by dying on the cross. In particular, this article develops themes from When Christendom Fails.
According to the Bible, the Second Coming of Jesus Christ will occur at some point in the not-too-distant future. There will be a final judgment when Jesus returns, and everyone will have to give an account of themselves to God. Those who accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior will spend eternity in heaven, while those who don’t will spend eternity in the fires of hell.

Jesus In The Last Days
The Last Days are here. If you have not heard, the end of the world is coming. There are many signs that Jesus will soon return to earth, and that this time He will not be coming as a baby but as a man.
The Bible tells us in Matthew 24:29-30: “Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.”
Jesus In The Last Days
Jesus said that he would return in the last days and that we should watch for his return. In Matthew 24:3-14, Jesus told his disciples to watch for his coming, and what signs would precede it. This is a subject that has been hotly debated by theologians throughout the history of Christianity. Some have predicted the end of time based on their interpretation of Bible passages. This article will discuss Jesus’ prophecy about the last days and how it relates to current events.
There are many interpretations of this prophecy, but I believe there are two main views regarding when Jesus will return: pre-tribulation rapture or post-tribulation rapture. The pre-tribulation view is that Christ will come first for those who are saved before all the other events take place. The post-tribulation view is that Christ will come after all these events take place first before he comes back to Earth to set up his kingdom on Earth.
The pre-tribulation view relies on several Bible passages as proof that Christ will come before all these events happen, including Mark 13:24-27 (which refers to this as “the end”), Matthew 24:29-31 (which talks about Jerusalem being destroyed
Jesus In The Last Days
Jesus’ teaching about His return is filled with signs that must be fulfilled before this great event. Jesus said that no one knows the day or the hour of His return (Matthew 24:36). He also said that many would come in His name, claiming to be Him, but we are to test them by their fruits (Matthew 7:15-20). He gave us some specific signs that would happen before His return. These include:
Wars and rumors of wars (Matthew 24:6-7)
Nation will rise against nation (Matthew 24:7)
Earthquakes in diverse places (Matthew 24:7)
Famines and pestilences (Matthew 24:7)
Persecution of Christians (Matthew 24:9-13)
Jesus said, “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.” (Matthew 24:36)
“For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away; so will be the coming of the Son of Man.” (Matthew 24:37-39)
Jesus warned us to be prepared. He said that there would be a time when we would need to flee from cities that are on fire because they are under attack by terrorists. We must not think this is impossible or far off in time. Jesus said it would happen within our lifetime!
Jesus In The Last Days
Jesus said that there would be signs in the sun, moon, and stars (Luke 21:25). And He said that all nations would be gathered together against Jerusalem for the battle of Armageddon (Zechariah 14:2).
A few years ago, I saw these two prophecies fulfilled in the heavens. I was standing outside my apartment building at 1 AM with some friends. There was a full moon on one side of us and a crescent moon on the other side of us. We were facing east toward Jerusalem. Suddenly, as we looked up into the sky, we saw a huge red-orange ball appear over Bethlehem. It looked like it was going to hit Bethlehem or come down just south of it. It was so bright that it lit up everything around us and even hurt our eyes when we stared at it! We quickly realized what was happening – this was Jesus coming back for His bride (Revelation 19:11-16)! He is coming soon!
Jesus is coming back soon. He is coming back for those who accept him as their savior and for those who don’t. He will come back for the righteous and the unrighteous. Those who make it to Heaven will be rewarded with eternal happiness and those who do not will be punished with eternal suffering.
Jesus is coming back soon, but no one knows when exactly he will return. The only thing that we can know is that it’s going to happen soon, because Jesus said so himself.
We’re getting closer and closer to the end of time every day, which means that Jesus’ return could happen anytime from now until forever after death. And even then, there’s still more time after that! So in other words, it could be tomorrow or it could be ten years from now or never at all—we just don’t know! We don’t know because God doesn’t tell us these things; he tells us only what we need to know at any given moment in time.
But here’s what we do know: Jesus said repeatedly throughout Scripture (the Old Testament) that he would come again before his people died off completely (which he prophesied would happen within forty years). And
The time is nigh.
Jesus Christ is coming back to earth and he’s going to make everything right again. But what does that mean for you? How do you know when it will happen? What are the signs? And how do you prepare yourself for it?
We’re here to help answer those questions, as well as any others you may have about Jesus’ return.
In the last days, Jesus promised that he would come back to earth. He said that he would be with us in the form of the Holy Spirit, and that he would give us wisdom and power.
Jesus promised that he would send a gift of the Holy Spirit in our hearts which would be like a flame of fire. This gift is called “the baptism of fire.” It is also called “the baptism of power,” or simply “the baptism.”
The baptism is a gift given by Jesus Christ through his Holy Spirit. It can only be received after you have true faith in him and repent of your sins.
Introduction
We can learn a lot about these things from what Jesus taught when He was here on earth. Some people think that the last days are many years away, but I believe that we are now living in them. In this article, I want to show you some of the things Jesus taught about the last days and then I will give you some practical advice for Christians who want to remain faithful in these difficult times.
Jesus taught that the last days would be worse than anytime before
You may be wondering how Jesus could have taught that the last days would be worse than anytime before. It’s because of Satan, who is trying to destroy everything good and true in the world. He wants people to follow him instead of God, so he will do anything he can to push his ideas on us.
God gave us free will—the ability to choose what we believe in and do with our lives—but Satan wants to take that away from us. If he can get us all thinking like him, we won’t have any choice but to follow his evil plans!
The Bible says that during these last days before Christ returns again and brings peace on Earth, people will experience terrible things they never saw before in history: wars between nations; diseases like Ebola and Zika spreading around the globe; floods destroying cities like Houston or New Orleans; famines killing thousands every year just for being hungry…and even earthquakes wiping out entire countries (like Japan) at once!
Jesus taught that there would be wars, rumors of wars, famines, earthquakes and nation against nation in the last days
Jesus taught that there would be wars, rumors of wars, famines, earthquakes and nation against nation in the last days.
It’s important to note that these events are not exclusively associated with the end times. In fact, we can see many of them happening right now all around us. The war in Syria is a great example: if you were to ask me how I knew that Jesus lived during this time period and not another one, I would tell you because this was his description of things to come:
- War – Syria has been embroiled in conflict since 2011 with no end in sight (and it could soon spill over into neighboring countries).
- Rumors of war – Russia has been bombing Syria for over a year now; ISIS continues to perpetrate terror attacks across Europe; Israel is currently at war with Hamas who controls Gaza (a Palestinian territory); North Korea continues making threats; etc., etc., etc…
- Famine – Food shortages have plagued Africa for years now as drought destroys crops and drives prices up dramatically (this isn’t just limited to Africa though—food shortages abound everywhere from Southeast Asia to South America).
- Earthquakes – Just look at Japan! A massive earthquake hit them about 8 years ago which caused multiple nuclear reactors at their Fukushima power plant go into meltdown mode…the radiation still hasn’t left yet even though they’ve tried everything possible! Earthquakes also happen all over Asia where many people live near fault lines like those connecting Taiwan island’s west coast mountainside against mainland China mainland coastline.(btw check out this awesome interactive map showing every earthquake worldwide since 1900)
Jesus taught that in the last days many people will turn away from God and will only look out for themselves
Jesus taught that in the last days many people will turn away from God and will only look out for themselves. In these times, you will see people being selfish and only caring about themselves. You will see many people who are greedy, only caring about money and material things like cars, houses and clothes.
Jesus also taught about how one day all the world would be unified under one government which would be headed by a ruler called “The Beast” (Revelation 13:3-4). Jesus warned us to be careful of this man because he would deceive many people with his false teachings (Revelation 13:14-15).
Jesus taught that in the last days there would be false Christs and prophets who will deceive many people.
This is the final time before Jesus returns to earth. Many people will follow false prophets and teachers, even if they are not in the church. This is a great deception that will fool many people into believing lies, thinking they are true.
Jesus taught that in the last days people would hate Christians because of their belief in God.
Jesus taught that in the last days people would hate Christians because of their belief in God. He said, “You will be hated by all for my name’s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved” (Matthew 10:22). Jesus also said that the time would come when many would deny him and hate those who follow him (John 16:2).
Jesus gave us this warning because he wants us to be prepared for it today. Not only do we have enemies outside the church, but some inside as well! There are also false teachers within churches teaching things contrary to Scripture (2 Peter 2:1). Because there is so much confusion about what is right or wrong these days, it’s hard to discern which doctrines are true and which ones aren’t; however, we can trust that Our Heavenly Father knows exactly what He wants us to believe—and His Word never changes!
It is important to know what Jesus said about the last days because we are now living in them
The word “last days” is used many times in the Bible, but it is a term that refers to the time period we are living in now, which began on January 1st, 2001. This was when Jesus Christ returned to earth as a baby and became the ruler of all nations.
Jesus taught that during these last days there would be wars, rumors of wars (nuclear war), famines, earthquakes and nation against nation. But even though these things were going to happen he also said that some people would not believe him because they had hardened their hearts against God and would only look out for themselves instead of loving one another.
Conclusion
It is important to know what Jesus said about the last days because we are now living in them. It seems like every day there is another report of wars, famines, earthquakes and false Christs that are appearing on the scene. The world has never been so troubled as it is today. What Jesus taught us about these days will help us understand what is happening and how we should respond to these events. We need to listen to what Jesus said so that we can prepare ourselves for the return of Jesus Christ
In The Last Days It Will Be Difficult To Be A Christian
In the last days, it will be difficult to be a Christian.
As you read this article, there are millions of people around the world who are being persecuted for their faith in Jesus Christ. They are suffering greatly for their beliefs. In some countries, it is illegal to be a Christian.
In other places, government leaders and organizations like ISIS are targeting Christians and killing them because they refuse to convert or leave their homes. In some cases, entire families have been killed simply because they were Christians.
In the last days it will be difficult to be a Christian. In this blog I will explain why that is true, but first we need to define what it means to be a Christian.
The word “Christian” comes from the Greek word christianos which means “follower of Christ.” It has been used for over 2,000 years for followers of Jesus Christ. The Bible tells us that Jesus is the only way to heaven (John 14:6). If a person believes that Jesus is God in flesh, who died on a cross for their sins, was buried and rose again three days later, they are saved and can call themselves a Christian.
If they don’t believe these things they cannot claim to be a Christian. They might say they are born again or have accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior, but if they don’t believe that He died for their sins then they are not saved.
In my next post I will explain why it will be difficult for people to follow Christ in these last days before His return
The Bible says that in the last days it will be difficult to be a Christian. The good news is that Jesus has promised that we do not have to face this world alone. We have a promise from God that He will never leave us or forsake us.
The apostle Paul was inspired by the Holy Spirit to write about what it will be like for Christians in the last days:
In the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy and without love for others. They will be without natural affection and without respect for others. They will be slanderers; they will betray one another; they will hate one another. (2 Timothy 3:1-3)
These are not just words of warning; these things have already started happening in our society today! Many people are willing to give up their faith in Jesus Christ because they feel like they can’t take any more persecution or suffering. It’s true that as Christians we may face persecution and suffering on this earth, but we must remember that our real home is in heaven with God and all those who have gone before us
One of the most difficult things about being a Christian today is the fact that it’s so easy not to be one.
The world is full of distractions, and it’s so easy to get caught up in them. But if you are, or have ever been a Christian, then you know that there is nothing more important than having Christ in your life.
The Bible says that in the last days it will be difficult to be a Christian. The world will become more wicked and evil, but God has promised us that we will never be alone! He will never leave us or forsake us!
In the last days it will be difficult to be a Christian. This is true because the world is getting more and more sinful.
There are many factors that make being a Christian difficult in today’s world. One of the main ones is that people have wrong ideas about Christianity. They think that Christians are very serious and boring, when actually we are not! Another reason why it can be difficult to be a Christian is because people don’t understand why we believe what we believe. They think that we believe strange things that seem silly or strange to them, but they don’t understand why we believe them! All these reasons make it difficult to be a Christian in today’s world.
Advice From Jesus On How To Live In The Last Days
Jesus was the most revolutionary person who ever lived. He was the ultimate iconoclast, and he didn’t care who knew it. Jesus was not the type of guy who would back down from a fight, and if you got in his way, he’d find a way to bring you down.
But Jesus wasn’t just about tearing things down. He was also about building them up — creating a new world order where love and justice would reign supreme over hate and oppression.
In his final days on earth, Jesus gave us some advice on how to live in these tumultuous times:
“Do not be afraid.”
Jesus is the perfect example of how to live a life that pleases God. The Bible says, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8). If we follow His example, we can have hope for the future.
Jesus lived on earth for 33 years. He came to show us what it means to be human and how to live a meaningful life. His life was not easy; He faced many trials and temptations throughout His ministry. But Jesus persevered through it all with hope in His heart and love in His eyes.
Jesus knew that He would die soon after He began His ministry (John 12:25). He knew that He would be killed by men who would hate Him because they hated God (John 15:18). Yet despite all this, Jesus still chose to come down from heaven and die on a cross for our sins so that we could have eternal life with Him in heaven! This is truly amazing!
The end times are a difficult subject for many people. We don’t want to think about it, and yet we know that Jesus told us He would return. The Bible also tells us that there will be a great tribulation period in which millions of people will die, but we also know that God promises to protect His people from this time of trouble.
So what should we do in light of these realities? How should we prepare for the last days? How can we live in such an unstable world?
The answer is found in 1 Peter 5:6-7, where Peter writes: “Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time…” (NKJV).
Peter tells us that as we humble ourselves before God, He will exalt us when His Son returns. This means that if we humble ourselves now, God will exalt us later on when things get tough. If we humble ourselves now, then He will exalt us later on during the great tribulation period.
This principle is confirmed by Jesus when He said: “Therefore take heed how you hear…” (Luke 8:18).
Jesus said, “When you see the Abomination of Desolation standing where it should not be (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.” (Matt 24:15)
Jesus also said to watch for false prophets and false christs. He said there would be many of them.
He said, “Take heed that no man deceive you.” (Matt 24:4)
“For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.” (Matt 24:24)
These warnings are very clear. They are not difficult to understand or believe. However, they are hard to accept because they are so hard to live out in our daily lives. It’s much easier for us to run from them than to walk towards them with faithfulness and hope.
Jesus was asked, “What is the greatest commandment?” He answered, “The first is this: ‘Hear O Israel! The Lord our God is one Lord; and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
Jesus then added that if you keep these two commandments, you will live. He also said that on these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets (Matthew 22:34-40).
Jesus made it clear that we are not to keep these commandments out of duty or obligation but because they are part of who he created us to be — loving creatures made in his image. When we choose to love others as ourselves, we begin to experience life more deeply by living in relationship with them.
