Tëprevious article was about God’s promise regarding the promise and coming of Jesus Christ, Mesia. All prophecies regarding the coming of the Messiah were fulfilled. It did not happen instantly when God gave His promise, but it took more than 2000 years before the promise of the Messiah came to pass. This shows us, that the Bible is the Truth and that God speaks the truth. Therefore the Bible is reliable. Jesus has ascended to heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father and while we do the works of the Kingdom and save as many people as possible and restore them in Christ, we are waiting for the return of Jesus Christ. Let’s have a look at what Jesus says about His return and the signs of His coming.
The return of Jesus Christ
And as He sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto Him privately, duke thënë, Tell us, when shall these things be? And what shall be the sign of Thy coming, and of the end of the world? (Mateu 24:3)
Even today, the Bible is still the Truth and every day, we see that the prophecies, regarding the return of Jesus Christ are coming to pass. It won’t be long before Jesus returns (Lexoni gjithashtu: ‘God’s Word is settled forever’).
In the meantime, we must stay awake. Every day we must be prepared for His coming. His return will be like a thief in the night. That’s why we must be watchful and stay in Him. So that we will not be left behind, when He comes for His bride, Kisha. This means that we should walk holy and righteous in Him.
As a born-again believer it’s important to know about the return of Jesus and the signs of His coming, and what will happen in the end times.
Not only in the New Testament but also in the Old Testament, we read about the end times and the return of the Messiah; Jezus Krishti. If you would like to know more about the return of Jesus Christ, I would like to encourage you, to study the Books of Daniel, the small prophets, the gospels, and the Book of Revelation.
What are the signs of His coming?
The most important thing for the believers is to stay awake in the spirit and watch. Because if you are not watchful and don’t stay awake, then before you know it, something could enter your life, that will keep you from the Word, e vërteta, and Life or steal the words of God. Therefore, stay awake and be watchful!
Let’s have a look, at what Jesus says about His return and the end of times in the three Gospels: Mateu, shenjë, and Luke. Because of the many signs, the signs will not be discussed in this article but in the following articles.
The main things, Jesus said are:
- Take heed that no one deceive you
- Wars will come
- Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom
- There shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes
- They shall deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake
- Many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many
- The love of many shall wax cold
- This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations
- You shall see the abomination of desolation, stand in the holy place
- If any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
- For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together
- Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken
- Then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven
- He shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other
- Learn from the fig tree (the parable of the fig tree)
- Of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only
- When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory
- And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats
- Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand (the sheep), Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world
