Prophecies- Watch Until Jesus Returns.

Prophecies.

Matthew

And Jesus answered and said unto them,

Take heed that no man deceive you. 

For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

Mark

And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you: 

For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 

Luke

And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them. 

Signs -

Many would come in Jesus' name to DECEIVE.  This prophecy has been fulfilled time and time again.

Matthew

And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 

For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 

All these are the beginning of sorrows. 

 Mark

And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet. 

For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows. 

Luke

But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by. 

Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: 

 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. 

Again- these prophecies have occurred - wars, commotions, earthquakes are common place all over the world, famines tragically seem endless, pestilences, fearful sights and great signs from heaven.

Matthew

Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. 

And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 

And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 

And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 

But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

Mark

But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them. 

And the gospel must first be published among all nations. 

 But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost. 

 Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death. 

 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 

Luke

 But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake. 

 And it shall turn to you for a testimony. 

Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer: 

 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist. 

And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death. 

And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake. 

But there shall not an hair of your head perish. 

 In your patience possess ye your souls. 

Signs, and there are a lot of them, but remember so much will have taken place, in fact ALL of this will have come to pass by the time our Savior returns.

People may have noticed that some of these signs seem to have occurred endlessly throughout time since the prophecy was made. Each generation has had people hating on Christ followers, right? We have had wars somewhere in the world through time as well, yes? While some of the signs do seem endless there are others which have definite occurrence and not more than once.

Matthew

And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. 

When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)   Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: 

Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: 

Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. 

And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! 

But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day

Mark

 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains: 

  And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house: 

And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment. 

  But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! 

And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter. 

 For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be. 

Luke

 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. 

Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto. 

  For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. 

  But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people. 

Let's talk more in depth about this prophecy-

Jerusalem surrounded with armies. When did the Christ followers living IN Jerusalem see armies surrounding the city? In 66 AD it happened and history reveals this as fact. The armies appeared but did not lay siege to the city just yet. The Christ followers who were there and recalled the prophecy of Jesus quickly left and they were NOT in Jerusalem when it was destroyed in 70 AD.

A very specific time frame is here for this prophecy- we can historically place this prophecy.

While some of the prophecies truly are wide spread, others are not and we need to study these, all of these. Our watching and praying is endless. We will never be able to stop watching and praying right up until our Savior returns!

More on this tomorrow by the GRACE and WILL of our LORD. All through HIS LOVE!
