The Bible tells us many things about what will precede the return of Jesus Christ:
1. It will be a time when knowledge and transportation have greatly increased (Daniel 12:4)
2. Wickedness will be rampant as it was in the days of Noah (Matthew 24:37-38)
3. Homosexuality will be rampant (Luke 17:28-29)
4. Adultery, material greed, and the killing of innocent life will be commonplace (Revelation 17-18)
5. The Gospel will have been preached to all nations (Matthew 24:14)
6. Many false religious leaders and false prophets will have arisen (Matthew 24:23-25)
7. Earthquakes, disease, and famine would be widespread (Luke 21:11)
8. There will be many wars and rumors of war (Mark 13:7)
9. There will be a Jewish holocaust (Ezekiel 37:1-14)
10. Followed by Israel's return as a nation (Ezekiel 37:11-12)
11. Israel's pure language, Hebrew, will return to the land (Zephaniah 3:9)
12. The Ethiopian Jews will return to Israel (Zephaniah 3:10-11)
13. The Russian and European Jews will return to Israel (Jeremiah 23:7-8)
14. The Roman Empire will be revived, but will only be a confederacy (Daniel 2:40-43)
15. Many believers will fall away (1 Timothy 4:1-3)
16. And perhaps the most shocking prophecy can be found in 2 Timothy 3:1-7:
“But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of god; holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth."
These prophecies have already been fulfilled—just in this past century, in fact. Many just in the last few decades. The Bible's apocalyptic prophecies are being fulfilled right now, for the first time in history. It is actually happening. Open your eyes while there is still time
