The events that has been taking place in the world lately have cause me to consider more closely the  words of Jesus as He sat on the Mount of Olives and spoke in answer to His disciples question about the sign of of Jesus's return to this earth (See Matthew 24). 

Jesus spoke of false christs, wars and rumors of wars, famines, pestilences (or diseases), earthquakes (natural disasters) in various places, persecution of the followers of Christ, and false prophets deceiving many (Matthew 24:4-11).  In verse twelve Jesus said, "Because iniquity (lawlessness) shall abound, the love of many will grow cold."

You only have to open a news paper, turn on the radio or TV, or log onto the web and learn that all of the above is happening in greater and greater frequency.  But Jesus said to not be troubled about these things because "the end is not yet" (Matthew 24:6).  All these thing tell us that Jesus is coming soon, but these are not the final sign.

So what is the sign of Jesus imminent return?  Jesus answered this question in Matthew 24:14, "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come."  This sign is being fulfilled even as we speak! 

The last 15 years have shown that the gospel message of Jesus Christ is reaching all corners of the globe.  Every medium (radio, television, printed material, the internet, and personal contact) has as never before been (and is being) utilized in spreading the message of Jesus and His saving love.  Radio, television, and the internet have enabled the gospel message to be heard in regions where political and social boundaries have prevented missionaries to go.  As a result millions of people from all over the world are turning to God and claiming the gift of salvation through Jesus.

The signs of Jesus return as described is all around us.  The questions is, what are you doing about it?  What are you doing with the message?  Today, I invite you to go to your Bible, study, pray, and make Jesus the center of your life, because His coming is drawing nigh and is sooner than you may think.

Hi Duane,

Had to jump in here about:

Matthew 24:14, "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come."  This sign is being fulfilled even as we speak!

...and that is a great passage.

The doors are very open in China and the Gospel is spreading through out their nation.

Things are happening very fast, too. You would have to be in complete resistance to know see what is going with prophesy and revelation in these days.

God Bless and take care,  Gene
