"At the time of the end, the sun will be darkened, the moon will give no light,
the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of heaven will be shaken."
It seems that everyone from the time of Jesus until the present day are anxious to know when the end of the world will come. There are many signs that are given in the scriptures. Perhaps the most definitive are the signs given in the scripture for today. The Word tells us that these are the signs that will occur before the end of the world. Therefore unless we see these signs we should be assured that the end of the world is not at hand. The rebirth of Israel was not the final sign. Earthquakes increasing in diverse places was not the final sign. Terrible plagues and illnesses that have no cure are not the final sign. It is like the day's of Noah today and there are terrible sacrilegious occurrences daily, but that is not the final sign. What has to happen?
After the days of affliction, oppression and distress, know as the tribulation, the world will see the signs of the end of time on earth. Just before the end the Son of Man, Jesus Christ, will be seen by those remaining on the earth. He will be coming in the clouds with great kingly power. At the end time, there will be the following signs. The sun will be darkened, the moon will give no light, and the stars will fall from the sky. The powers in Heaven will be shaken. Do you think that anyone will be able to mistake or question that the end of the earth is at hand?
The Lord and His Word have told us everything beforehand, so that we would not be lead astray. If anyone tells you anything different about the end of the world do not believe them! False prophets will arise and try to lead you astray. The have done so many times in the past and that lead to pain and suffering and death that was not necessary. Be on guard and do not be deceived. A lot of things will happen before the return of our Lord, but the major signs will be unmistakable. The most important thing to remember is to be a child of God and you will be Saved from death and given eternal life in Heaven. And so will we be ever with Him!
