Thursday, February 14 - Matthew 24

 

 

 

Before Jesus leaves His followers, He cautions them and gives them signs that will indicate His return.   Throughout history, there have been those who have predicted the return of Christ.  Keep this in mind as you read Jesus' words.

 

 

Signs of the End

 

1)   24:4 - false prophets

 

2)   24:6 - wars and rumors of wars

 

3)   24:7 - famines and earthquakes

 

4)  24:9 - Christian persecution

 

5)  24:10 - a falling away from the faith (apostasy)

 

6)  24:12 - an increase in wickedness...love grows cold

 

7)  24:14 - the Gospel will be preached as testimony to the nations

 

8)  24:15 - the abomination that causes desolation (Antichrist) arises

The example of the Flood is used to warn against unreadiness.  Are you ready for Christ's Judgment Day?
