End Time Prophecies
Are we living in the last of this age?
It strongly appears that ALL of the
players in the cast are present.
"Now as He (Jesus Christ) 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?'" (Matthew
24:3).
• One of the greatest proofs that the Bible is inspired is
the evidence of thousands of detailed prophecies that
were fulfilled to the smallest particular throughout history.
For example: Centuries before the events occurred the ancient
prophets foretold the rise and fall of empires and cities
including Babylon, Tyre, and Nineveh.
However More astonishing are the many
prophecies that have come to
pass in the late 20th Century
and occurring now in the 21th
century indicating the
fulfillment of the end of the
age.
A Brief Explanation of Prophecy: A
major understanding when
addressing prophecy is expressed in
this phrase: “Oh, that is what God
meant!”
The following is an
explanation of this
understanding…
Keep in Mind that Modern Day Events were completely foreign to
the prophets when the prophecies were written!
After many of the Events of history occurred the prophetic passages opened up
in understanding.
• We can look and see many prophecies that were
obscure have now become VERY Obvious!
• We didn’t understand many times because the
things being described were unknown to us.
– Psalm 22 describes a horrible death sequence;
however not until Christ is crucified do we
genuinely grasp the fulfillment of this prophecy.
Afterward we can say, “Oh, that’s what God meant!”
– Zechariah 14:12 describes a plague that causes the
flesh to melt from people’s bodies almost instantly.
Not until modern times could we grasp its meaning
when chemical and nuclear weapons do just that…
One More thing…
• Although some of these
prophecies have had
fulfillments in the past, such
as wars and rumors of war,
pestilence like with the Black
Plague, they came and
went without the other end
time prophecies being
present like Israel was NOT
in their land.
• Now, however, all of the
players in the play are on
stage…we are only waiting
for the curtain to draw…

Gomorrah so shall it be in the days of
the coming of the Lord.” Rampant,
defiant, willful, aggressive, boisterous,
blatant, rebellious, practice of
homosexuality and…
In a world of modern technology,
transportation and communications,
the thought of even one place
experiencing a famine seems
unbelievable…yet, many such places
exist and continue to surface. Why?
Racial war, civil war, rebellions,
religious fighting…(Matt. 24:7)
Much food is in the fallow ground of the
poor, And for lack of justice there is
waste. Proverbs 13:23

Pestilence, disease, infections,
were supposed to be wiped out by
man’s medical, technological, and

Who’s next?
Your gold and silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be
a witness against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You
have heaped up treasure in the last days. (James 5:3)
The extreme wealth between the “have” and
the “have not” continues to expand. Twothirds of the world subsides on less than
20% of the world’s income…It is to our
shame that we pay some millions while
paying others in cents…
Violence in civilized cultures is sky
rocketing! Many American teenagers
are unruly and arrogant, disrespectful
to authority in general…many parents
are to blame…(Matt. 24:37; Gen. 6:13)

so also will the coming of the
Son of Man be. Matt. 24:37

flesh has come before Me, for the
earth is filled with violence through
them; and behold, I will destroy them
with the earth.’” Genesis 6:13
“You shall hear of wars and rumors of
wars…” Matt. 24:6,7

world. One report
states that 90% of the

take root in Jacob; Israel shall blossom
and bud, And fill the face of the world
with fruit.” Isaiah 27:6
Israel has plans to Rebuild
the Temple. It will not take
49 years as the second
Temple did to build it. They
could build it within a year.

the Dome of the Rock seen
here is NOT on the
location for the building of
the New Temple.
“Now the number of the army of
the horsemen was two hundred
million; I heard the number of
them.” Revelations 9:16
China and her
allies boasted of
a 200 million man
army only
recently.
When this
prophecy
was
written
there
we’re not
200
million
people in
the earth!
Directly to the North of Israel
is Moscow. This formidable
force has only come to power
in modern times and allied
herself with the Arab nations
just as the prophecy predicted
"Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya are with
them, all of them with shield and helmet;
"Gomer and all its troops; the house of
Togarmah from the far north and all its
troops––many people are with you.”
Ezekiel 38:5,6
European Economic
Community is the
REVIVED ROMAN
EMPIRE IN OUR DAY

up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the
kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in
pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand
forever. Daniel 2:44
It appears in
scripture that this is
inevitable; however
Jesus Christ returns
to prevent the world
from destroying
itself!
“A fire devours before
them, And behind them
a flame burns; The
land is like the Garden
of Eden before them,
And behind them a
desolate wilderness;
Surely nothing shall
escape them.” Joel 2:3

of Jesus Christ
occurs to stop the
antichrist and his
armies from
destroying Israel and
mankind! He will
return to establish
the Millennial reign.
Contrary to popular belief the
world does NOT come to an
end…but a new age is ushered in.
How should We respond?
• Distressed? Perplexed? Afraid? Panicked? These
certainly are reasonable; however they strongly
indicate our weakness in knowing and trusting God.
Sinners who don’t know God will respond as this verse
says…
• “…men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of
those things which are coming on the earth, for the
powers of heaven will be shaken”. Luke 21:26
• If you believe what you’ve just seen why not?
• If you do not know where you are going why not?
• But let me give you a better response…
There is Great Comfort in Christ
God is letting us know what is going to happen and giving us signs
when they are about to happen.
• "Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your
heads, because your redemption draws near." Luke 21:28
Do Not Worry…
• "But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear
therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows. Luke 12:7
God knows our need and has already provided for our escape from the
terrible things coming upon the earth.
• "Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give
you the kingdom. Luke 12:32
God has every intention of delivering His own and giving them His
kingdom. The Apostle Paul revealed a special event called the
Rapture [I Cor. 15:52] that is to take place that essentially removes His
children from the wrath of God that is going to be poured out during
the final seven years of this age.
Therefore, we should WITNESS about these things.
We should respond by learning these powerful prophetic proofs that
the Bible is true and then relay them to others who don’t know
them.
We should draw closer to God trusting His providence and grace to carry us
through.
"I will never leave you nor forsake you.“ Hebrews 13:5
We should realize that God is in ultimate control of every believer!
Our faith should be strengthened in God’s Word because as these
prophecies manifest we know that God told us about them to
encourage us that despite what is happening around us God is our
shield and defense.
If you do not know Christ and have never been born again, now would be a good time!
John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to
you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.“
RECEIVE SALVATION by praying along these lines:
“Dear God I believe in Jesus Christ who died for my sins; I ask for
forgiveness and repent from my sinful ways. Please save me.
Amen.”
Romans 10:13 For "whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be
saved."
