Jesus held His private PROPHECY briefing of the Apostles on a hillside overlooking Jerusalem.
He explained how to know when you are in the FINAL GENERATION.
The disciples asked Jesus a question that interested all of us, and I’m so glad they did.
Follow along as they ask in Matthew 24:3, and as Jesus answers them in verses 8 and 33.
This week, I examined just how much God has left for us to know about the future.
Here is what I found, summarized in a series of numbers.
I hold the ONE Book that God wrote—the Bible.
That one book has TWO parts—the Old Testament and the New Testament.
Those two parts comprise sixty-six individual books, which we call the 39 Old Testament and 27 New Testament books.
This book, made up of 66 books, has 31,103 verses.
Of all the verses in the Bible, 8,352 are prophetic or speak to future events. All Biblical predictions about the future in these thousands of verses can be grouped into 737 different predictions.
Of these 8,352 verses, 6,312 (or 522 different predictions) have already happened to the letter, JUST LIKE God’s Word said they would.
That leaves just about 2,040 verses with 215 specific predictions from God about the end of the world that are being fulfilled.
The Bible contains many specific events that would signal the end of days for life on planet Earth, as it has been for the past several thousand years.
Each prophetic sign Christ and His apostles gave is specific and not vague.
Jesus explained to us in Matthew 24, verses 8 and 33-34, that these events would begin at the same time, run concurrently, and crescendo like the pains of a woman giving birth the closer we get to His Second Coming.
Matthew 24:8, 33-34 All these are the beginning of sorrows. 33 So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near—at the doors! 34 Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away until all these things occur.
The biblical signs of Christ’s Return will not be fully revealed until the time of the Tribulation.
Each of the signs of Christ’s Return, He said, is a trend.
These trends are accelerating—the last seconds of the countdown clock to Christ’s return are ticking down.
Each day, the prophetic picture Christ painted grows clearer.
The apostles and prophets captured each of these signs between 2,000 and 3,500 years ago.
Now they are happening in our lifetime!
But, in all of history–ONLY our generation has seen EVERY ONE of these events starting to unfold.
