The disciples had asked Jesus what signs they should look for that would mean the approach of end times. He laid it out to them very simply in the passage above. Practically since the beginning of time we have had wars. And there have kingdoms fighting each other, famines and earthquakes. And seemingly on the rise in past few years has been more and more false prophets that have cleverly disguised themselves as Christians to deceive many people. Some say they even are God. You don't have to look far to find them. They are all over YouTube. One popular so-called preacher said in one of his sermons; "If you want to see God, look at me." His name is Jesse Duplantis, and he claims he has daily talks with Jesus who asks for his advice. He has made millions from his congregations and lives in a lifestyle that most of those people give because they don't see anything but that he is bringing them the gospel of Christ. Which he doesn't. He brings them the gospel of himself.
Of course, there are many more of these people that are out to get every cent that they can out of the pockets of not only well to do, but the poor as well. They don't care if poor people give their last dime, as they preach the more you give, the more God blesses people when they give to their ministries. But what does the people giving get in return? A very very water down version of the gospel and lies from the devil.
Jesus warned about these people, and we must take heed because if we follow them, it is our very salvation that is at stake.
Thanks for coming by friends. I apologize for not being here for the past few days. I will probably not be here tomorrow, but you may check if you wish, because it depends on some things going on in my life that may have to be taken care of.
In the meantime, God bless you and yours
