The Old Testament prophesies of the birth of Jesus and of his crucifixion to take upon himself our sins. It also prophesies of events that will happen before Jesus returns to earth after his resurrection to rule and rein. Many natural calamities will happen and there will be wars and rumors of wars. We are witnesses of many wars and rumors of wars in recent years. The New Testament records the ministry of Jesus on earth and also prophesies of natural disasters and wars and rumors of wars that will come before he returns to earth. The New Testament foretold the defeat of the Jews and their scattering. It also foretold that the Jews will be gathered together again before Jesus’ second coming.
The Jews were scattered to many nations, but in these nations they kept their identify as a people. When the Brits decided to carve out a homeland in Palestine for them after World War II the Jews were not hard to find. Thousands of them have gathered in Israel. The Bible tells us that before Jesus returns a huge army from all nations will lay siege to Jerusalem and begin killing many Jews. When it appears all is lost, Jesus will appear and overthrow the armies of the wicked attacking Jerusalem. Then the Jews will recognize their King whom they rejected hundreds of years earlier.
Other things will happen before Jesus retulrns. The gospel of Christ will be taught in all the World. Right now their are two nations where Christians are not welcome, Iran and China. Events in China seem to indicate that China is about to collapse. Many are saying the UnGodly Mullahs who are currently abusing the People of Iran are on the way out. I expect to see the Gospel being preached in China and Iran which will indicate the return of Jesus is getting closer. In the last days, many people will see both awful and glorious things happening. What could be more glorious than to be on earth when Jesus Returns?
