What Does the Bible say About the Last Days ?

People cannot get enough of this subject, especially theorist and conspiracy theorist. This subject has made movies, books, dramas, and on and on. It has made millionaires of those who produced them. People want to be in the “know” when it comes to the last days. So, what does the Bible say about the last days?

I can only imagine people want to know for the same reason everyone wants to know about stuff in general. They want to stay prepared and ready. This is why this subject is always asked about. The weird part about this subject is that it is thoroughly covered in the pages of the Bible.

Go from Genesis to Revelation and it’s all there; yet it is still a secret to many people (even those of us who read the Bible every day). The last days for those who read it in the Bible and spread the rumor, is a day of darkness and gloom and war and destruction. Hence the pictures on this post 🙂

The Question About the Last Days Asked of Jesus…

We’ve heard what everyone has said about it outside of the Bible. People such as Nostradamus, the Mayans, the Chinese book of change, even the web-bot project. Now let’s see what the Bible says about the last days.

A great place to start is in the gospels (I like Matthew’s account in chapter 24). The question was asked directly, “Tell us, when shall these things be? And what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?”

It only makes sense to read this entire chapter to get a decent understanding of the last days (end of the world as we know it). In this chapter Jesus walks us through what we can expect in the last days.  The very first thing to be aware of are deceivers.

Make Sure You Can Prove Claims Made!

That’s right, people coming to tell fibs about the Word of God all-together. How would you know you’re being deceived? You’d have to read this book (the Bible). Also you’d have to make sure whom ever you allow to teach you regarding subjects of the Bible, is saying the same things that are written in the Bible.  If not, we all can just about make anything up, right?

What else? Many false Christ will rise up. Nations will be against nations, famines, diseases, earthquakes in many different places. Jesus says all these events or happenstances are just the beginning of distresses (Matthew 24 v8).

Down to verse fifteen, Jesus gives a warning about the ‘abomination of desolation’ that Daniel the prophet spoke of. This person will go into the holy place; and Jesus warns us that we better understand what we are reading.

The Great Tribulation Will Not Hold Back Punches

The reason we need to understand what we’re reading in this case is because what follows. Once this event occurs, the world will go into a “great tribulation” like it has never seen before (Matthew 24 v21).

Things will get very hostile on the earth according to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. In addition, false prophets will abound deceiving even extremely knowledgeable people in the Word of God.  We are to maintain our faith through our knowledge of Jesus and His forewarnings (Matthew 24 v25).

After the tribulation and just before the real big fight among humanity (popularly known as world war three WW3), Jesus will intervene! The Lord will have to intervene because mankind will try to destroy the earth all together.

The Abomination of Desolation Standing…

Children fighting in the house is one problem. When they fight to the point of destroying the house, that is another problem altogether. Jesus said that His words will not pass to the ground. Everything He is speaking of will come to pass (Matthew 24 v35).

If you believe Jesus you have to believe this. While it is true that Jesus said no man knows the day and hour of His return, He did leave clues. Only the Father knows the hour, however throughout this chapter He has given us the signs to look for.

In verses 42, He straightly tells us to watch because we do not know the hour that He will come.  We have to constantly be looking out for the signs! The biggest and most vital sign is the abomination of desolation.

No Prophet Dared to See This Time

It is heavily recommended you read the book of Daniels to get a good idea of who this is. It is the official “anti-Christ” everyone speaks about. Prophets wrote about the last days as well.  Every last one of them were in the spirit on the Lord’s Day (not Sunday)!

The saw the visions of what is to come. When it was shown to Habakkuk, he prayed to the Lord to hide him in the grave. He wanted no parts of when the Lord Jesus returns and invades the earth with His troops (Habakkuk 3 v16).

In other words Habakkuk had no desire to be around for this time period. It was better for him to die than to live through this carnage. Zechariah saw the vision as did John in the book of Revelations. Zechariah describes a very serious war in which Jesus the Messiah reclaims His earth.

After the Tribulation of Those Days…

The good news is in all of this the Lord has a secret place (on the earth) for all of His servants. It is not the rapture, as often thought. Remember the event known as the rapture happens after the great tribulation.

We all will be on the earth during the time of the Lord’s intervention. It is important to know where to go to seek protection on the earth while we wait on the glory of our God. The last days will be a difficult times for every one (2^nd Timothy 3 v1-5).

How will we know we are in the midst of them? We have to do what Jesus commanded us to do.  Watch and Pray. Watch and pray to our God so that we do not enter into temptation! That we are awake and not slumbering when the Lord Almighty prepares to make His forceful return to this earth.

God bless you and yours in Jesus name. Amen
