Christians since the departure of Christ believed that Christ would come back during their lifetime. However, there are several prophesies that in the bible which points to His coming back. Interestingly, these prophesies are being fulfilled in this generation. This shows His return is imminent. Below are some of prophesies that show that Jesus coming back might happen in this generation.
In Matthew 24:22, Jesus says that those days of trouble will be shortened to save the living things from all being wiped off. The verse shows that if Christ does not step in, the human population will be annihilated. In the last 50 years, the world has grown its capacity for self-annihilation. Major world powers have stockpiles of nuclear arsenal and some have hydrogen bombs. There is also fear that this arsenal may fall into wrong hands especially the terrorists fighting for control in Middle East.
Jewish homeland has also ben reestablished in Middle East. In Luke 21:7 Jesus talks of the budding of the flower as a sign that he will come back. There have been so many battles that have been fought in Jerusalem including an exile. Finally, the Jewish state was re-established in 1948. Zechariah 12.2-3 talks of all the countries in the world gaging against Jews but they are destroyed by God.
The other remarkable event is the union of European countries. Daniel chapter 2 and 7 talks about empires that will rise in world before the kingdom of God is established. The last empire was the Roman Empire that was broken up into the European countries. The bible calls then the ten horns. In Revelation 17,12-14 the holy bible talks about the attempt to unite.
There is a unification of the European states, and they are moving towards a single nation. They have a parliament, monetary union and everything else is falling into place. In the past, there has been attempts to join up the countries but by the use of force. This is a voluntary membership. It is not known which ten states will form a single state but the holy bible talks of ten of them.
The gospel is also to be spread to all nations before Christ comes back. Mathew 24:14 talks of this an impediment to His coming. A while back, most communist and Islamic countries restricted the gospel. However, technology has enabled the gospel to reach all ends of earth through such mediums as the internet, TV, videos and radio.
The bible also points out increases in famines, natural disasters and pestilence. Last century witnessed the highest frequencies in natural disasters than any other in the history. This had been predicted by the bible in Mathew 27:7-9 as the start of sorrows.
In addition, He talks people forsaking God and being wicked. Today, the level of immorality, murders, loss of love and individualism has grown into extents never known before. Marriages are not lasting, abortions are on increase, and the world looks more lawless as predicted in Luke 9:23. Be well prepared.
