3) Signs of the End

Lawlessness, political meltdowns, religious intolerance, sexual deviancy, hurricanes, disasters, Christian persecutions, judicial activism, infanticide, and brutal acts of violence have citizens asking, “Are these the signs of the end?”

This lesson will take us to a topic that the Lord Jesus Christ addressed when his disciples asked a similar question in regard to the destruction of Jerusalem and the end of the age – the signs of the return of Christ. A topic mentioned 250 times in the New Testament alone—once in every 25 verses.
