Prophesies That Point To Jesus Coming Back In This Generation

By Edna Booker


In the yester years, most Christians thought that the second coming of Christ will take place in their lifetime. This did not happen. The bible points out of several events that must take place before His second coming. Notably, nearly all of the bible prophesies hall all been fulfilled meaning His coming is near. Below is an overview of prophesies that that point to Jesus coming back soon.

The bible in Mathew 24:22 talks of days of wicked and that God saw it fit to shorten them so that the whole world does not get wiped away. It says that Christ will step in to save the human population from self- annihilation. This is now possible given the amount of military arsenal available within the last 50 years. There is a lot of nuclear arsenal with the major powers. There are also hydrogen bombs held by some countries. If these weapons fell in wrong hands such as terror groups in Middle East or dictatorial leaders, it could be catastrophic.

Luke 21:7 talks of re-establishment of Jewish state as one of the pointers to His coming just as a bud sprouts from a branch. Israelites finally got a home after centuries of wars and deportations. This happened in 1948. Zechariah 12:2-3 also prophesied that the new state will be stronger than its enemies surrounding it.

Daniel chapter 2 and 7 talk of the empires that will rule the earth before the coming of kingdom of God. Of interest is the Roman Empire, which was the last and crumbled to present day Europe. The bible predicts the unification of ten member states that will try to rebuild back to Roman Empire.

The European nations joined hands and are moving towards a unified state. They have a monetary union, a parliament and everything else is coming into place. While other attempts to unite them were by use of force, this is a voluntary union preparing the way for the coming of Christ. The holy bible is not clear which nations will form the final union, but it states that they will be ten.

Jesus also said that He will not come back before the Gospel has spread through all the corners of the earth as recorded in Mathew 24:14. While there has been restrictions to spread of gospel in many communist and Islamic countries, Technology has turned tables. Through TV, internet and radio more people have been reached the gospel.

It is also prophesied in the holy bible that the frequency and magnitude of natural disasters. In the last century, there have been more famines, droughts, earthquakes than ever before, Mathew 27:14 as the beginning of great afflictions on the earth.

People also forsook God and engaged in all forms of immorality and wickedness. This has grown to extremely high levels. There are lots of murders, increased hate, and individualism among other ills. Marriages are breaking up fast; children are aborted at an amazing rate making this more of a lawless world as Luke 9:23 states.
