Does the Bible give specific signs regarding the nearness of christ's second coming? Are they coming to Pass?

1. Wars and rumors of war: "But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified:
for these things must first come to pass" (luke 21:9). The increase of war and the ravages of
civil distress affect billion worldwide.

2. Unrest, fear, and upheaval: "And there shall be upon the earth distress of nations, with
perplexity;.... Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which
are coming on the earth" (luke 21:25,26). A perfect picture of the world today.

3. Increase of Knowledge: "Even to the time of the end..... knowledge shall be increased"
(Daniel 12:4). Knowledge is exploding in all directions: It is said that 80 percent of the
world's total knowledge has been brought forth in the last century
4. Scoffers and religious skeptics who turn away from bible truths: "There shall come in the
last days scoffers" (2 peter 3:3). They will not endure sound doctrine; And they shall turn
away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables" (2 timothy 4:3,4).
It is not difficult to find scoffers today in fulfillment of prophecy. Many in the media
laugh at those who take the bible lieterally. Even religious leaders deny the creation
the flood, the divintiy of christ, His second coming, and many other bible truths.

5. Moral degeneracy-decline of spirituality: " In the last days.... men shall be lovers of
their own selves,.... without natural affection,...despisers of those that are good,......
having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof" (2 timothy 3:1-5).
America is in the midst of a tremendous moral crisis. Divorce rates are climbing
and obsession with sex is growing, with increasing church membership but decreasing
true spirituality.

6. Craze of pleasure: " In the last days.... men shall be .... lovers of pleasures more then
lovers of God" (2 timothy 3:1-4). The world has gone pleasure-mad. People jam
pleasure resorts by the thousands and spend billions each year for pleasure.

7. Increasing lawlessness, bloody crimes, and violence: " Inquity shall abound"
(matthew 24:12). " Evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse"
(2 timothy 3:13). The land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence
(Ezekiel 7:23). Crime and lawlessness are increasing rapidly today.

8. Destructive earthquakes, storms, and famines: "And great earthquakes shall be in divers
places, and famines, and pestilences" (luke 21:11). Earthquakes, tornadoes, floods, etc.
are increasing at an unprecedented rate. One-third of the worlds people are hungry;
daily, thousands die of starvation.

9. A turning to spiritism: " In the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed
to seducing spirits" (1 Timothy 4:1). " They are the spirits of devils" People, including
heads of nations, seek c9unsel from psychics, channelers, and spiritualists.

Can there be any doubt we are in the last days with these signs being fulfilled at an arlarming rate? Jesus said, " When ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors"
matthew 24:33.
