7 Signs of the End Times We See Happening Today

Signs of the end times, Bible prophecy, last days, Jesus' return, Matthew 24

Many people wonder if the events happening around us are signs of the end times. The Bible speaks clearly about what will take place before the return of Jesus Christ. In Matthew 24, Luke 21, and Revelation, we find prophetic warnings that seem to be unfolding right before our eyes. Let’s explore 7 biblical signs that we see happening today.

1. Increase in Wars and Conflicts

Jesus said, "You will hear of wars and rumors of wars... Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom." (Matthew 24:6-7) From ongoing wars in Eastern Europe and the Middle East to rising tensions in Asia, our world is witnessing more armed conflicts than ever before.

2. Famines and Food Shortages

Global supply chain issues, climate change, and rising inflation have caused severe food shortages in many countries. This aligns with the Bible's description of famine as a major sign of the end times (Matthew 24:7).

3. Pestilences and Global Health Crises

From the COVID-19 pandemic to the emergence of new diseases, pestilences are becoming more frequent. Jesus specifically mentioned pestilence as a sign that His return is near.

4. Increase in Natural Disasters

Earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, and wildfires are intensifying. In Luke 21:11, Jesus warns of "great earthquakes in various places" before the end.

5. The Rise of Lawlessness and Moral Decline

Paul wrote in 2 Timothy 3:1-5 that in the last days people would be "lovers of themselves, lovers of money... without self-control." The moral decay we see in society — from crime to the rejection of God’s truth — is a clear fulfillment.

6. The Gospel Preached to All Nations

Despite persecution, technology has made it possible for the Gospel to reach even the most remote places. Jesus said in Matthew 24:14 that the end will come once the Good News is preached to all nations.

7. Israel’s Role in Prophecy

The return of the Jewish people to their homeland in 1948 and ongoing Middle East tensions are central to biblical prophecy. The Bible points to Israel as God’s prophetic time clock.

Final Thoughts: Are We Living in the Last Days?

While no one knows the exact day or hour (Matthew 24:36), these signs remind us that we are getting closer to Christ’s return. This is not a time for fear but for faith. We are called to live holy lives, share the Gospel, and remain watchful.

"So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect Him." – Matthew 24:44

God’s Unchanging Nature & Everlasting Compassion | Bible Study

God’s Unchanging Nature and Everlasting Compassion: A Biblical Perspective The God of the Bible is the ultimate constant in a changing world: “I, the Lord, do not change” (Malachi 3:6) . His nature, thoughts, and eternal plans are immutable. God does not revise His Word, revoke His promises, or change His will: “God is not man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should repent; has He said, and will He not do it?” (Numbers 23:19) . This divine immutability of God means that He is not subject to fluctuating moods, emotional swings, or human weaknesses. In theological terms, God is impassible —He is not moved by involuntary emotions, pain, or suffering. As the Westminster Confession of Faith explains, God is “infinite in being and perfection, a most pure spirit, invisible, without body, parts, or passions.” Some modern thinkers find this idea hard to grasp, even skeptical writers like Robert Ingersoll mocked the concept: “without body, parts, or passions… you cannot conc...

God’s Design for Marriage and Family

God’s Design for Marriage and Family As God’s image-bearers, Adam and Eve were created for intimate, unhindered fellowship with their Creator. Yet, their purpose was not only vertical (toward God) but also horizontal—toward the earth. Genesis 1:27–28 tells us, “Male and female He created them. God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.” From the very beginning, God established His perfect plan for marriage, family, and procreation. His design was for one man and one woman to enter into a lifelong covenant of love. Genesis 2:24 makes this clear: “For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh.” Sadly, the evolutionary worldview and modern culture have distorted this plan, promoting fornication, casual divorce, same-sex relationships, and other practices that erode the sanctity of marriage. Yet God’s truth remains unchanged. Unlike plants and animals, which God als...

God’s Purpose in Creating Humanity: Designed for Blessing and Joy

The Crown of Creation: Humanity Made in God’s Image When we look at the opening chapters of Genesis, it becomes clear that Adam and Eve were the crowning moment of God’s creation . Everything else that God formed—the heavens, the seas, the land, the sun, the stars, and every living creature—served as the magnificent backdrop for humanity’s arrival. Creation was not complete until man and woman, made in God’s image, stepped onto the stage of history. Genesis 1:27–28 – “God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. God blessed them; and God said to them, ‘Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth.’” This passage shows us that humanity was created with both vertical and horizontal purposes . Vertically, Adam and Eve were designed to walk in intimate fellowship with their Creator. Horizontally, t...
