Luke 21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
Two thousand years ago the disciples asked Jesus about the end (Luk 21:7). Jesus gave us some signs:
- Deception (v8) – false friends, false christs. Our relationship with the Holy Spirit is the answer (Jn 16:13, Jn 3:8). Your dreams and visions from God are to guide and protect you (Joel 2:28). Fast, pray, praise and worship, make your habitation the top of the mountain, this is a better perspective and you can hear better and see clearer.
- Increased Racism (v10) – Jesus came for everybody and loves equally (Gal 3:28, Col 3:11). As the love of many grows cold, so the bad become worse (2 Tim 3:1-4). Finally, division shall come between the sheep and the goats (Matt 25: 31-46).
- Pestilences (v11) – coronavirus is just the beginning. Do not be surprised, for through prophecy we know what is coming. Trust in the Lord and you shall be delivered from them all (Ps 91:1-7, Act 17:28)
- Persecution (v12-13) – another birth pain, but it shall turn to testimony for you (Rom 8:28).
- Increasing Troubles and Increasing Wisdom (v14-19). Surrender to the Lord daily, meditate on His Words, and He shall guide you, for He has overcome (Jn 16:33)
- Watch Jerusalem (v20-21, 24, 29-32) – The building of the third temple in preparation for the rising of the anti-christ. The 3rd World War.
- Days of Vengeance (v22-27) – Jesus first coming was to accept people (Luk 4:18-19), the second coming is with judgement (Is 61:1-2).
- The Gospel preached in all the world (Matt 24:14, 2 Pet 3:9) – this is a core sign of the end, we need to obey the Great Commission.
Be strong Child of God, we will overcome by looking up and thinking of our future in heaven (Col 3:1-4).
