Signs of His Coming!

The coming of Jesus Christ is known by many as “the second coming”. In fact, the popular view is that, Jesus is coming back to judge the earth and to save the Jews from their hostile neighbours- the Arabians. His coming according to bible prophecy will occur after Israel is given international sovereignty and the subsequent threat of it by her neighbours; then will the Messiah come. On the hand, there are conflicting teachings concerning His second coming, though, our focus is to highlight the signs of the coming of Jesus Christ but not to dwell on this conflicts. Then, what are the signs of his coming especially as we approach the end of the six millennium. Without doubt, the rapture will take place before the great-tribulation and the second coming. Suffice to say that, between the rapture and the second coming, there is a seven year gap and period popularly described as the “great-tribulation”. However, before the coming of Jesus Christ, some prophets of old both in the old and new testament gave some signs. Some of these signs are: • Increase in knowledge- Daniel 12 v 4 • Discovery of vehicles and automobiles- Nahum 2 v 3-4 • Destruction of Jerusalem- Matthew 24 v 2; Deuteronomy 4 v 27-28 • Coming back of the Jews- Isaiah 10 v 20; Genesis 48 v 21 • Restoration of the Jewish State- Luke 21 v 24 • Outbreak of famine and diseases- Matthew 24 v 7 • Wars against nations and kingdoms- Matthew 24 v 6 • The Jews defeats his enemies- Genesis 49 v 8; Numbers 24 v 17 These signs are strong indications that the coming of Christ is near.
