The Third World War has already hangs in the horizon !.
Matthew 24 - Synopsis: The disciples of Jesus had just show you the
beauty and magnificence of the temple that King Herod rebuilt when Jesus
turned to them and uttered a prophecy:
"See ye not all these things? Verily I say you will not be one stone upon another that will not be thrown down."
When properly understand the importance of the signs by which we
can know that the end times are approaching, we will be much better
prepared when the events begin to occur.
However, before analyzing these signals, we need to understand the context in which Jesus Christ put these prophecies. This context is found in verse 8: "All these are the beginning of sorrows." This word, "sorrows" has a special meaning in the original Greek text.
This is the G5604 word in Strong's Concordance, which really means "birth pangs".Thus, the beginning of these multiple signals announcing the beginning of a delivery process; someone or something will be born on the international stage; something new will appear! But who? We get the answer in verse 15, when Jesus suddenly reference to prophecy in Daniel 9:27, 11:31 and 12:11.
This
prophecy states that the Antichrist will walk into the Holy of Holies
in the temple in the middle of the seven year Tribulation Period for the
express purpose of desolate it and perpetrate an extreme offense to
God. Daniel calls this act of "abomination of desolation".
Therefore, the "baby" to be born is the Antichrist. But wait, there is another "baby" born in these verses! When
Jesus suddenly starts talking about the Antichrist and the abomination
of desolation in the Holy of Holies in the temple, all sorts of red
lights should start flashing, but due to the terrible teaching of
traditional Bible teachers, these red lights are not seen in anywhere. In Matthew 24: 1-3, Jesus foretells the destruction of the temple that Herod rebuilt; in
verse 3, the disciples correctly understand that the destruction of the
Temple heralds the destruction of the nation of Israel. Indeed, both destructions occurred in 70.
However, Jesus speaks suddenly the desecration of the Holy of Holies by the Antichrist! So the nation of Israel will have to have been reborn around that time and the Third Temple has been rebuilt; otherwise, Antichrist could not offend God with the desecration of the Holy of Holies inside the Temple! Another baby is being born here - Israel! In addition, some time before Antichrist enter the Holy of Holies, on
1,260 of the Tribulation Period, the temple need to be built.Therefore,
the signs, the "pain" that Jesus quoted in Matthew 24 will give birth
to two babies: the nation of Israel and Antichrist. Let us examine these birth pangs, and then we'll see how the baby
was born Israel exactly according to these signs, these birth pangs.
Jesus quoted the following birth pangs as the multiple signs by which Christians know that the end of time is near.
1)
Spiritual Deception No Parallel [Verse 4] - This spiritual deception is
so comprehensive and so much concern that Jesus reiterated the warning
twice more in the chapter, in verses 11 and 24. Certainly, we are facing
this kind of spiritual deception today, as ministries
that were considered fundamentalists and reliable are often seen taking
sides and supporting progressive causes and even the New World Order. In
these present day, Christians must have their eyes on Scripture -
acting as the noble Bereans - and not a man or his organization. We
must diligently compare everything said and done with Scripture,
remembering that organizations and men have suddenly turned bad after
seem reliable for years. As Jesus warned us, "he who endures to the end shall be saved." [Matthew 10: 22b].
2) False Messianic Figures [verse 5] - The 20th century saw the emergence of many Messianic figures.
3) Wars and Rumors of Wars [verse 6]; "Nation
will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom" - This is an
idiomatic phrase which defines a conflict started between two local
combatants but quickly involves allies on both sides, thus making a much
larger war. [Verse 7].
4)
famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes in various places - Again,
this is an idiomatic phrase meaning that famines and earthquakes will
occur simultaneously in different parts of the globe. [Verse 7].
