"As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?”
-Matthew 24:3
Here are the signs from the book of Matthew:
1. Many will come to claim they are the chosen one.
"Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many. ( Matthew 24:4-5)
2. There will be wars, nation against nation.
"You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom......" (Matthew 24:6-7)
3. Many nations will come to poverty and experience calamities.
"......There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains." (Matthew 24:7-8)
4. Many Christians will be persecuted and put to death.
"“Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me." (Matthew 24:9)
5. Many will turn away from their faith and from Jesus.
" At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other,..." (Matthew 24:10)
6. False prophets will come.
"And many false prophets will appear and deceive many people." (Matthew 24:11)
7. And the sharing of the Kingdom of God to the whole world.
"And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come." (Matthew 24:14)
Just remember this:
" Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved." -Matthew 24:12
