'Prelude to World War 3'
Endtime Signs taught by Jesus
Mat 24:3 Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?"
When the disciples of our Lord Jesus requested to know the endtime signs of His coming and the end of age, I believe that our Lord used this occasion to teach us the endtime signs in chronological order. With that, we can identify the times and the seasons of all endtime prophecies fulfilled and going to be fulfilled.
1st. Sign - False Christs
Mat 24:4-5 And Jesus answered and said to them: "Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will deceive many."
Christ means 'the anointed one'. In the OT, the kings, priesthood and prophets were the anointed. In these last days, false christs (wicked and fallen Christian Presidents, pastors, elders, prophets, church leaders) will deceive Christians with heresies, lies and deceptions.
Since the turn of the Millennium those false christs, who thought that our Lord has delayed His coming, revealed their true colours of their worldliness, covetousness and carnality. Many openly declared themselves as sodomites and some participated in same sex marriages. Some of these heresies approved in many churches are:-
1. Once saved always saved
2. Secret Rapture
3. Prosperity Gospel
4. Positive Confession
5. Approval of Homosexuality
6. Approval of Same Sex Marriages
7. No need to confess sins
8. Keeping the Mosaic Law
9. Robbing God of His money
10. Abusing the Name of the Holy Spirit
2 Pet 2:1 But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction.
2nd Sign - World War 3
Mat 24:6-7 "And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places."
The present wars and the many rumours of wars will take place resulting in the devastating and horrific World War 3, which is just like the end of the world ( but the end is not yet ). On top of the miseries of World War 3, there will be many natural disasters such as famines, pestilence and plagues along with earthquakes and tsunamis, killing by the millions of people making it very sorrowful for mankind.
This World War 3 is the same war mentioned in Rev 6:7-8 (4th. Seal), where a quarter of mankind will be killed by the sword, hunger, death and diseases from animals.
Thank God that our Lord Jesus in the midst of His Endtime teaching, told us to read and understand the prophecies in the book of Daniel, otherwise we may not be able to comprehend fully His end time teachings.
Mat 24:15 "Therefore when you see the 'abomination of desolation,' spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place" (whoever reads, let him understand),
