Matthew 24:1-8

1 As Jesus was leaving the Temple grounds, his disciples pointed out to him the various Temple buildings. 2 But he responded, “Do you see all these buildings? I tell you the truth, they will be completely demolished. Not one stone will be left on top of another!”

3 Later, Jesus sat on the Mount of Olives. His disciples came to him privately and said, “Tell us, when will all this happen? What sign will signal your return and the end of the world?”

4 Jesus told them, “Don’t let anyone mislead you, 5 for many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah.’ They will deceive many. 6 And you will hear of wars and threats of wars, but don’t panic. Yes, these things must take place, but the end won’t follow immediately. 7 Nation will go to war against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in many parts of the world. 8 But all this is only the first of the birth pains, with more to come.

What are the SIGNS of the END TIMES?

Increasing deception 

(false Messiahs, false prophets)

Global turmoil 

(wars, disasters, turmoil)

Spiritual decline 

(betrayal, cold love, lawlessness)

Global witness 

(gospel preached to all nations)

What’s NEXT?

What is my RESPONSE?

So you, too, must keep watch! For you don’t know what day your Lord is coming.    -Matthew 24:42

You also must be ready all the time, for the Son of Man will come when least expected.    -Matthew 24:44
