The situation of the world before Second coming (Rapture):
Before the Lord Jesus returns there will be terrible times and life will be very hard. People would be engaged in terrible sins. There have been people like this all through history. But in the last days, there will be an increase of high proportion in such evil acts. Apostle Paul gives an exhaustive list of end time signs (2 Tim.3:1-7, Matt. 24:5-7)
- Lovers of themselves.
- Lovers of money.
- Lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God.
- Having a form of godliness, but denying the power of God.
- Many false prophets, healers, people do magic.
- Many preachers focus more on prosperity than the Evangelism.
- Wars, civil wars, earthquakes, volcano eruptions.
- Deadly diseases viz. HIV, cancer, plagues, bird flu, the present Covid-19 taking heavy toll.
- Famine and pestilences.
- Boastful, proud, abusive.
- Disobedient to their parents, ungrateful.
- Unholy, unforgiving, slanderous.
- Without self-control, brutal,
- Conceited (false pride), perversion
- Lovers of animals rather than human beings
What is your response: We must say: Come Lord Jesus” (Rev.22:20). Since His coming is imminent, the believers would respond “Amen, come Lord Jesus.” Those who humble themselves and accept the Lord Jesus will find Him gracious and will be saved from Hell. Therefore believers must plunge into the evangelistic work, inviting lost sinners, trust Christ and drink the water of life. Indeed, when the church lives in expectancy of Christ’s return, such an attitude provokes missionary and evangelism.
