BEWARE OF THE TIMES.
*WATCH AND PRAY FOR WE KNOW NOT THE TIME NOR THE HOUR OUR LORD IS COMING*
Our main text is taken from
Matthew 24:42
Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming. NKJV.
Matthew 24 begins with a conversation between the disciples of Jesus and His disciples.In verse 3 His disciples begin to ask Him the sign of His coming(the second coming). So He begins to tell them in verse 4 that they should take heed that no one deceives them.
Jesus continues to tell them in verse 5 that There will be people pretending to be Jesus Christ and these people will deceive many and send them to hell. Which means there will be deceivers but they should be careful so they won't be deceived.
In verse 6, He tells them that there will be wars pestilences famines and earthquakes. *All before His coming* Are we here? So you can imagine how great this tribulation will be per its description by Jesus. He then talks about A TRIBULATION in verse 9 where Christians will be killed and hated by all nations for the sake of Christ. In verse 21 Jesus says this is a very great tribulation which has never come into the world before and never will be after it.
Okay so will talk about 2 things here:
1. The tribulation of the Christians.
2. The wrath of God.
Jesus then says in verse 22 that unless these days are shortened even the elect will not be saved. Jesus continues to say immediately after the tribulation, the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light and the stars will fall and the powers of the heaven will be shaken (verse 29)
Then Jesus will appear and the elect will be gathered. So the Christians are going to be persecuted by those against Christ. Guess what! The Antichrist, who is the beast and his image will be there.
How?
We are told in 2 Thessalonians 2:3-5 that, that day will not come until...
