CLM 180º - 7 Prophetic Signs - Second Coming of Jesus Christ - Could Be Soon

Here are the 7 Prophectic Signs of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ - you tell me if they have been fulfilled or not ...

1. Israel Will Be In The Land - Ezekiel 36:24, 37:21

"For I will take you out of the nations; I will gather you from all the countries and bring you back into your own land."

Since 1948, Israel took its place among the nations of the world again for the first time in nearly 2000 years, a prophecy fulfillment of the primary sign that the end of the age was upon us.

Both Isaiah 11:11-12 and Amos 9:14-15 clearly foretold this.  Jesus stated that some from the generation being born when this happened would still be alive when He returned Matt. 24:34.

Israel has fought six major wars in the last 60 years, each of them an attempt to erase the Jewish homeland from the face of the earth. And it’s clear that this effort will continue, with the biggest battle of all looming on the horizon, foretold by Ezekiel in chapters 38-39. Israel’s enemies, both physical and spiritual, won’t let up until they’ve either succeeded or been destroyed.

2. Jerusalem Will Be In Jewish Hands - Luke 21:24

"They will fall by the sword and will be taken as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled."

Prophesied that the reunification of Jerusalem as a Jewish City would be a sign.  Fulfillment of this prophecy began in 1967 and prophecy experts saw it as another major sign that the End of the Age had begun.  Until recently every Israeli politician has stood firmly on a pledge to keep Jerusalem united forever as Israel’s capital.

3. A Moslem Coalition Armed And Led By Russia Will Attack The Holy Land - Ezek. 38:2-6

“Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal; prophesy against him. This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against you, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. I will turn you around, put hooks in your jaws and bring you out with your whole army–your horses, your horsemen fully armed, and a great horde with large and small shields, all of them brandishing their swords. Persia, Cush and Put will be with them, all with shields and helmets, also Gomer with all its troops, and Beth Togarmah from the far north with all its troops–the many nations with you.”

Over 130 historical references make it plain that Magog stands for modern Russia, and the other countries named here form a coalition based on their common religion, Islam.   Among them are Iran, several North African countries, Eastern European countries along the Danube, and the Turkic nations of Asia Minor.  This shows that these areas are home to some of the most radical Islamic groups.

4. The Ancient Roman Empire Will Re-Emerge As A Political Force -  Rev 17:9-10

“This calls for a mind with wisdom. The seven heads are seven hills on which the woman sits. They are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; but when he does come, he must remain for a little while.”

5. The World Will Embrace A Single Religion - Rev 13:8

"All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast–all whose names have not been written in the book of life belonging to the Lamb that was slain from the creation of the world."

Islam is the major religious force in the world today and their goal is nothing less than world domination. It is the world’s fastest growing religion and is second only to Christianity in number of adherents. Already nearly one out of every five inhabitants of the world is Moslem, and like most Christians and Jews they don’t really know what they believe or why.

6. The World Will Accept A Single Government - Rev 13:3

"The whole world was astonished and followed the beast."

Events in the US have shown how quickly a fearful and disillusioned people will get behind anyone who promises change.  Look at the world today it doesn’t take much to imagine circumstances getting to a point where the whole world will agree to follow a leader who will promise to bring order out of chaos.

7. Babylon Will Re-Emerge As A Prominent City In World Affairs - Rev 18:2-3

"With a mighty voice he shouted: “Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great! She has become a home for demons and a haunt for every evil spirit, a haunt for every unclean and detestable bird. For all the nations have drunk the maddening wine of her adulteries. The kings of the earth committed adultery with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries.”

One of the biggest shocks of Gulf War 1 was the discovery of Babylon standing there on the banks of the Euphrates.

Because of Babylon’s current lack of importance in the world, some students of prophecy seek an allegorical fulfillment of its destruction and see the USA as a logical subsitute.  Remember, Rev. 17:9 describes “mystery Babylon” as seated on seven hills; meaning Rome and also Zech. 5:5-11 shows it being moved “to the plains of Shinar” a reference to ancient Mesopotamia called Iraq today.

There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains."

“Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come." Matt. 24:6-14

Men will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken.

When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.” Luke 21:25-28
