5 signs that will happen before the second coming of Jesus Christ to earth

[lukadrower]

For centuries, prophecies and prophecies about the second coming of Jesus Christ have been the subject of deep reflection and spiritual reflection for believers
around the world. The Gospel gives us many signs that foreshadow this final event. Jesus' words, recorded in the Gospel according to Saint Matthew, regarding the events
surrounding his return contain a vision of the last days that not only reveals the trials to come, but also makes us reflect on our values and attitudes as Christians.
The first sign of the return of Jesus Christ, as foretold in the Gospel according to Saint Matthew, will be the appearance of false Christs. Jesus says,
"Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name and say, I am the Messiah. And they will deceive many." Jesus warns his disciples that
in the future many will come claiming to be Him and claiming to be the Christ. They will use His name and teachings to mislead people. From the time of the
first editions of the Gospels to the present day, history knows many cases of false Christs and prophets who, using the teachings of Jesus, tried to gain
power over the minds and hearts of people.
Their actions often lead to confusion and rifts in society and believers who seek spiritual guidance and hope. The modern world is exposed to the intensive
development of technologies and media that enable the rapid spread of information. Many false prophets use these means to spread their teachings and beliefs,
gaining followers around the world. Unfortunately, many people who are looking for answers and purpose in life are easy prey for manipulation and misinformation.
False Christs often promise spectacular miracles, healings, wealth and solutions to all problems. Their goal is to unite people around themselves to gain
power and influence, not to direct them to the true Jesus Christ.
Their actions are contrary to the true teaching of Jesus, which is based on love, mercy, humility and devotion to God and neighbor. Faced with this reality,
how should we defend ourselves against the influence of false prophets and false Christs? First of all, we need to know and understand the teachings of Jesus as
given in the Gospel in order to be able to distinguish the real message from manipulation. Critical thinking, prayer, and trust in the guiding spirit can also
help avoid the dangers of false prophets. We must seek a deep and genuine relationship with Jesus that will allow us to know His love and wisdom, and to discern
the differences between His teachings and those of the false prophets.
The second sign of the return of Jesus Christ, as reported in the Gospel according to Saint Matthew, includes a series of calamities and calamities, such as wars,
famines, plagues and earthquakes. Jesus says, "You will hear of wars and rumors of wars; beware, do not be alarmed. This must happen, but it is not over yet!
For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famine and pestilence, and earthquakes in places." . Jesus warns his disciples
that humanity will face great difficulties and suffering before the final end of time. This vision of the future is a warning to us to be ready and strengthened
in faith when these signs begin to be fulfilled.
Observing the modern world, it is hard not to notice that many of these prophecies are actually being fulfilled. Conflicts and wars in various parts of the world
continue to cause millions of people to suffer violence, destruction and despair. Instead of seeking reconciliation and peace, nations continue to face each other,
leading to long-term conflicts and tensions. Hunger and malnutrition continue to be a problem for many regions of the world, despite significant advances in
technology and agriculture. People around the globe suffer from a lack of access to adequate sources of food and drinking water. In addition, plagues and diseases
bring death and suffering to many people, exposing them to unique health and social challenges.
Earthquakes and other natural disasters such as floods, fires and droughts are also becoming more common. Climate change and human activities are affecting our
planet's ecosystems and atmosphere, causing an increase in the occurrence of natural disasters. These disasters cause enormous material losses, human suffering and
tragedies that affect millions of people around the world. Jesus' prophecy of the signs of his second coming shows that these calamities will increase as time
goes by. Therefore, as believers, we are called to prayer, mercy and action for those who suffer as a result of these events. We should also persevere in faith
and hope, knowing that God is with us even in these difficult times.
It is also important for us to bear in mind that while the signs portend suffering, they are also the beginning that leads to the final triumphal return of Jesus
Christ.

His return will be infinite love, justice and salvation for those who persevere and in faith await him. These prophecies are intended to prepare us to never
lose sight of the hope of the Lord's return, and to strive constantly for the salvation of our souls and to follow His teachings. Faced with these signs, it is
important that we live with love for our neighbor, mercy and solidarity with those who suffer.
The third sign of the return of Jesus Christ, as reported in the Gospel of Matthew, shows us a picture of increasing social divisions, loss of faith in God and
persecution of believers. Jesus says, "Then they will hand you over to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all the nations for my name's sake.
Then many will be shaken in faith; they will betray one another and hate one another." In his words, Jesus foretells difficult times when believers will face
challenges and suffering because of their faith in his name. Looking at the modern world, we cannot ignore the fact that in many parts of the globe believers experience
persecution and discrimination because of their faith.
In some areas, Christians are physically persecuted and even killed simply for identifying with Jesus Christ. They are exposed to various forms of oppression
and their rights are restricted by the authorities or extremist groups. In other regions of the world, Christians who resist certain social, moral or political
trends face rejection, ridicule and exclusion. Their stance against moral corruption or immoral practices causes controversy and criticism from society.
Christians who remain faithful to their faith and do not succumb to new trends or ideologies can be marginalized and ridiculed as conservative or unreasonable.
In addition, nowadays we can often see a growing skepticism about faith and God. People are increasingly rejecting traditional religious values, and science,
technology, and secularism seem to supplant the spirit of God. Modern society often questions or rejects the existence of God, and faith becomes a controversial
topic, treated with distrust or complete disregard. The prophecy of Jesus in the Gospel is like a mirror reflecting the reality of today's world.
We see how faith in God and Jesus is undermined by various ideologies and social movements that promote atheistic attitudes, agnosticism and moral relativism.
With increasing materialism and hedonism, spiritual values are increasingly ignored or considered obsolete. However, despite these difficulties and challenges,
we should not give up hope or give up our convictions. On the contrary, we should remain faithful to the Gospel and be examples of love, compassion and forgiveness
towards others.
The fourth sign of the return of Jesus Christ, as reported in the Gospel according to Saint Matthew, refers to the loss of love of many people due to the increase
of iniquity in the world. Jesus says, "And because iniquity will increase, the love of many will grow cold." In his prophecies, Jesus shows that the spread of sin,
the departure from God's plans and values, and the denial of God's existence will lead to the weakening and loss of love in the hearts of many people. We are now
seeing iniquity and sin spreading in various ways in societies around the world. The increase in selfishness, materialism, greed, hatred and lack of respect for
others affects interpersonal relationships and weakens social ties.
People increasingly focus on their own interests and needs, forgetting about caring for others and the common good. Secularism and a lack of religious beliefs are
other factors that lead to the estrangement of love. Many people reject belief in God and spiritual values in favor of secular ideologies and philosophies.
Instead of building a relationship with God and searching for a deeper meaning in life, they focus on earthly things that often do not bring lasting fulfillment.
The breakup of families is another worry that contributes to the reduction of love in society. The increasing number of divorces, separations and neglect of
family ties affects the healthy emotional and psychological development of many people.
The lack of love and care in family relationships leads to increased tensions, conflicts and loneliness, which negatively affects the whole society. Undoubtedly,
the violation of social values and cultural heritage also contributes to the weakening of love. The modern world is exposed to the erosion of traditional values
that have shaped societies for many generations. Globalization, the clash of cultures and ideologies, as well as various propaganda and media manipulations
contribute to the collapse of common norms and moral principles that fostered love, understanding and harmony in communities. However, despite these challenges
and the cooling of love, there are still people who care for others, dedicate their time and energy for the common good, and take action for justice and mercy.
Christians who base their lives on love, understanding, respect, and compassion are a light in the darkness, showing that love can still triumph over iniquity.
In the face of the fourth sign of Jesus' return, it is important that we pay attention to these challenges and try to build love and community in our surroundings.
Prayer, reflection and the practice of charity are essential to keep our hearts open to others and to act in a spirit of love and understanding, especially
towards those who are most in need.
As iniquity spreads, believers should remain faithful to the Gospel and imitate Jesus in His mercy and self-sacrifice. Of course, achieving this will not be easy,
but strong faith, mutual support in the spiritual community and the practice of love will contribute to the growth and revival of love, which is essential
for salvation and harmonious life in society.
The fifth sign of the return of Jesus Christ, as reported in the Gospel according to Saint Matthew, refers to the spread of the Gospel and the truth of the
Kingdom of God over the whole earth. Jesus says, "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the earth for a witness to all nations. And then the
end will come." It is a prophecy that shows us that before the final coming of the Lord Jesus, His teachings and mission will be preached as a witness to all
nations, so that everyone can hear the truth about God's love and salvation. After the resurrection of Jesus Christ and his ascension into heaven, the Holy
Spirit descended on the apostles, guiding and strengthening them to preach the Gospel.
The first disciples of Jesus, the Apostles, undertook the mission of preaching the Gospel throughout Judea, Samaria and to the ends of the earth. Their zeal,
courage and devotion contributed to the spread of Christianity to various parts of the world. Today, Christians are scattered all over the globe, forming large
and diverse communities of believers. Thanks to advanced means of communication and globalization, it is easier than ever before to communicate the Gospel
and the teachings of Jesus. People on different continents have access to information about Jesus and His love, which makes it possible to reach the hearts
of many people more widely. The truth about God and His kingdom of love thus becomes the last message to enlighten the world for Christ's return.
In the face of an increasingly materialized world dominated by greed, selfishness and the loss of spiritual values, the Gospel and the teachings of Jesus are
like a light that illuminates the darkness and brings hope. It is a message of mercy that shows that God loves every person, regardless of their past or sins,
and that he offers the possibility of conversion and salvation. The gospel is a message of hope, pointing to God's love and salvation, which is available
to anyone who believes and follows Jesus. It is the love of God, which is mercy, care and understanding, that confronts the fear that Satan promotes.
Love removes fears and complexes, revealing the true nature of God as a Father who wants to welcome his children with open arms.
The message of the Gospel is hated by Satan because his purpose is to lead people into darkness and terror. He wants to instill fear in us, which causes us
to distance ourselves from love and truth. However, the Gospel is the power of God that thwarts all evil plans of Satan. It is through faith and trust
in God that we can cast aside fear and come closer to true love, which is a gift from God. Faced with the fifth sign of Jesus' return, we are called to
continue the mission of preaching the Gospel throughout the world. Our responsibility as believers is to share the love, mercy and hope of Jesus with others.
Through our actions, words and lives, we can revive love in the hearts of many people, leading them to the kingdom of God and preparing them for the return
of the Lord Jesus Christ.

When the son of perdition takes his literal seat in the holy place of Jerusalem Jesus warned us to flee as He has a place prepared for us wherever we go to, Matthew 24:15-21; Rev 12:14.

God's protection is absolute to those who escape into the wilderness and trust in Christ to help meet their needs. Just as God told Moses to strike the rock for fresh water, Exodus 17:1-7, and sending manna down from heaven and providing Quail for meat, Exodus 16, so will be the same in the end of days, Philippians 4:19.

Nut shell scenario of what will happen during the first six trumpets of Rev Chapter 8-11 that leads up to the seventh trumpet and the events of Chapter 13 with the beast out of the sea and out of the earth.

God’s wrath is poured out into the world as chastisements for disobedience, but also a warning that man needs to repent and turn back to God before the door of salvation is closed forever when Christ returns on the last day, John 5:28-29; 6:40.

Hail and fire can be likened unto meteors that fall from the sky. A third of the trees and all the green grass are burned up which makes a third part of the world with a shortage of oxygen in the air that is created from the carbon dioxide from the trees and living plants. Seeing that this is Global the intense fire and smoke from all the trees and grass burning can travel for miles causing much more damage throughout the nations. The trees that produce various healthy foods for our wellbeing will become scarce. The green grasses that would probably include crops of wheat, barley, corn and so forth will be destroyed causing a shortage in food. The animals we depend on as a food source will also die as they are left without vegetation they need to live on.

This great mountain burning with fire could be another meteor or even a series of meteors sent down from heaven at one time, but on an extremely larger scale as the third part of the sea is destroyed along with sea life and the third part of the ships that sit in it. The third part of the sea turned to blood by reason of all the animal life that is killed and those men, women and children who are on these ships that are destroyed. Take into consideration the disease that would spread from all the rotted sea life that is rotting away washing up on the shore and the flesh of those who were burned along with the ships.

These ships will more than likely be types of fuel tankers, merchant, fishing and luxury cruises ships traveling the waters. With the third of these ships being destroyed means a third part of the world’s fuel and food supply would be destroyed. There is only one ocean, but divided by four regions as being the Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Arctic Ocean, and the Indian Ocean. This would be like the four corners of the earth as being North, South, East and West. The only difference between the ocean and the sea is that the ocean is much larger and feeds into the 108 seas around the world that also flow into our lakes and streams that provide us with fresh drinking water and other sources of food.

With the third part of the sun, moon and stars being darkened this will affect mans source of electricity and heat that is vital to keep a certain degree of the earth warm, and generated power in homes, hospitals and manufacturing plants including nuclear reactors.

Agriculture and navigation would be hard pressed as it takes the solar power from the sun to run the solar cells that produces the energy needed to run farming machinery and trucks to take the produce to manufacturing plants where the produce is then distributed to market.

Vehicles such as cars, ambulances, planes, trains and the list goes on need an energy source from the sun in order to run their engines. The darkness of the third part of the day would be roughly around eight hours of daylight being lost and total darkness of night as the moon and stars are illuminated by the sun at night. A flashlight would be useless to see in the dark as it needs energy from the sun to run the battery that turns the light on.

This much darkness would cause people to panic in the streets creating chaos as the love of many will wax cold, Matthew 24:12. Riots would break out causing looting and lose of life as those who have not will do anything in desperation to take from those who have much. IMO Marshal law will be enforced as we see history repeat itself with many Christians taken captive that did not flee and killed as they refuse to denounce Christ and take the mark. They will also die a martyr's death, Rev 6:9-11, especially vs. 11. Also we are not to fear what man can do to us, Matthew 10:28.

This is where the mark of the beast comes in during the seventh trumpet as this NWO is a Luciferian system of economics, political, military, educational and false religious power that gives power to the beast out of the earth being the son of perdition. By lying signs and wonders the beast will deceive the nations (people) into taking its mark. IMO I think the mark is the thoughts of our mind and the actions of our hands reaching out to this beast that promises peace, safety and provision as many will bow down and worship this beast who claims to be God.

After the 3 1/2 years of this Luciferian reign on earth that will try and wear out the saints then every eye will see Christ coming in the clouds with His army of angels that are then sent out to gather those saints who are alive at His coming and those who sleep in their graves. We are gathered up to the clouds as we receive our new glorified bodies in order to meet Jesus in the air. From the air He destroys the beast and false prophet by the brightness of His coming only speaking their destruction casting them into the lake of fire. Satan is bound for a time as Jesus sets out to destroy all the nations that followed after the beast. Satan is then released in a final attempt to destroy the saints as he sends his angels out to surround the camp of the saints, but the angels are consumed by fire and Satan cast into the lake of fire. Then comes God's great white throne judgment and the books are opened and all are judged. Then this present heaven and earth are burned up and made new again and the New Jerusalem is ushered down from heaven where we will be with the Lord forever.

Psalms 115:17
17 The dead praise not the Lord, neither any that go down into silence.
And JESUS said (around 2000 years ago): let the dead(they which have not the Spirit of GOD, Spirit of life) bury their dead. Matthew 8:17

Daniel 12:1-2 combined with 1Thessalonians 4:16
Michael comes first, and after of him comes Lord JESUS.
12:1 - at that time (at this current time, or at this Day, the Lord's Day, the seventh and last Day/millennium) shall Michael (the archangel) stand up, ...
12:2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake (RESURRECTION), some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
1 Thes.4:15- For this we say unto you by the Word of the Lord (the Word is GOD, self-executing), that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent(precede) them which are asleep.
1 Thes. 4:16 For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout,with the voice of the archangel-Michael- , and with the Trump of GOD: and the dead in Christ shall rise first.

And 1Corinthians 15:51-54 reveal:
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery;We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,(Compare with Philippians 3:20-21)
52 ...at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound,and the dead shall be raised incorruptible,and we shall be changed.
(the trumpet shall sound: Re.11:15- And the seventh angel sounded;and there were great voices in heaven (heaven???Ephesians 1:3-8), saying, The kingdoms OF THIS WORLD are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and He shall reign for ever and ever. Matthew 5:5- JESUS said: Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth).
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. (caught???)
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. - Hallelujaaaah!!!

Get ready --> Matthew 25:10
