In Matthew 24 Jesus speaks about the final days. He talks about wars and famines and lawlessness and false prophets and so forth. But Jesus also mentions two positive signs. One positive sign is in verse 14: “And the Gospel of the Kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations and then the end will come.”
The Bible clearly teaches us that we are in the end times. The things that are happening in the world around us that you daily see on the news have to do with the end times. The signs of the times are coming more and more visible.
Why end times? When people read their daily newspaper they wonder, in what times are we living? Where is this world heading for? What next is coming towards us? You see all these very quick changes in the world; you see the changes in the Middle East.
