Christians throughout history have paid attention to periods of moral decline and spiritual apostasy as potential signs preceding the return of Christ. 

Toward the beginning of the book the author uses the 25 prophecies below to prove we can trust what the Bible says literally. It really was an amazing list of which non-e were new to me but the list was so well laid out and in a concise format that I wanted to share it.

Notice the two remarkably similar descriptions. Jesus called them ferocious wolves and Paul called them savage wolves. These false prophets will not spare the flock and will show them no mercy because they really don’t care about the flock.

Even when we recognize the signs in the modern day, the end will come as a surprise. We must keep our lamps full of oil and lights lit, waiting for the coming of Jesus and the coming redemption of all things. 

Hurricane Katrina, which struck the United States in 2005, causing widespread destruction and loss of life, was viewed by some as a sign of God’s judgment, although that is difficult to know for sure. Similarly, the 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan, which resulted in thousands of deaths and widespread devastation, raised questions about the role of conterraneo disasters in biblical prophecy.

“You will hear of wars and rumors of wars…Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.”

48 But if that evil servant says in his heart, ‘My master is delaying his coming,’ 49 and begins to beat his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunkards, 50 the master of that servant will come on a day when he is not looking for him and at an hour that he is not aware of, 51 and will cut him in two and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

There it is, proof in the New Testament of the Holy Bible, but not many people actually believe it. Why does God allow this evil? God allows Satan’s control for a reason; in this present age he wants us to choose goodness because we want it, not have it forced upon us.

Back in Matthew 24, Jesus warns of false prophets who will arise during the last days and deceive many. Throughout Scripture, false prophets are depicted as individuals who claim to speak on behalf of God but propagate deceitful teachings and lead people astray from the truth.

Jesus’ divine prophesies were foretelling the conditions on earth at the end of this age — the very last days before his return. Jesus knew that the cause of the increasing problems would be a result of elevated Satanic activity, but that explanation would have to wait until after his death to be dealt with in detail.

For I want you to know how great a struggle I have for you and for those at Laodicea and for all who have not seen me face to face, that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, to reach all the riches of full assurance of understanding and the knowledge of God's mystery, which is Christ, in whom are hidden all The Rise of Evil on Earth: Is Biblical Prophecy Being Fulfilled? the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding in his hand the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain. And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, and threw him into the pit, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he might not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be released for a little while. Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed.

Born in Lebanon, he emigrated to the states as a baby. His parents became U.S. citizens (doing it the right way), when he turned 18, he, too became a citizen. He’s been saved for 30 years. He pastors a church in Hawaii and has a YouTube Channel and Podcast. Bellow are the Bible passages that he quoted in his list. Below is the video of this message. I highly recommend you watch it as he goes into way more details…

That said, we are in the time called the beginning of sorrows by Jesus. Those times, according to Jesus include troubles:
