These are some of the End Times Scriptures that we’re seeing unfold right now, before our very eyes:
#1: You will see a great time of apostacy. “See to it that no one deceives you,” said Jesus. People are falling away (or were never true believers to begin with). Only spiritual discernment and knowing the Scriptures (sound doctrine) will help you decide between the angel of darkness or the One and only True Lord and the only One Who can save: Jesus Christ.
Matthew 24:3-5 – 3 As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” 4 Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many.
2 Peter 3: 3-7 – 3 Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. 4 They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.” 5 But they deliberately forget that long ago by God’s word the heavens came into being and the earth was formed out of water and by water. 6 By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed. 7 By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.
***************
Daniel 9:27 – He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven.’ In the middle of the ‘seven’ he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And at the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him. ”
1 Timothy 4:1 – The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.
Luke 8:13 – Those on the rocky ground are the ones who receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for a while, but in the time of testing they fall away.
I’m going to cite one example, although there are many: David Archuleta, who came in second on American Idol in 2008. He was a self-proclaimed believer, and publicly declared this on the show. In 2021 he “came out” as gay and in 2022 declared he was “queer.”
Most recently, he wrote a song dedicated to his mother, who told him that if the church didn’t accept him and taught that he would be excluded from heaven, she would rather stick with him and go to hell together. In fact, that’s the name of the song: Hell Together. I saw him perform this song (as a guest artist) on American Idol not long ago. Here are some of the words:
Hell Together – “If I have to live without you
I don’t wanna live forever in someone else’s Heaven
So let ’em close the gates
Oh, if they don’t like the way you’re made, then they’re not any better
If paradise is pressure
Oh, we’ll go to hell together”
You and me, that’s all we need
Blood is thicker than the pages that they read
I’m afraid (I’m afraid) of letting go (letting go)
Of the version of me that I used to know
Crying tears in Sunday crowds
Took my hand, and we walked out
You said
“If I have to live without you
I don’t wanna live forever in someone else’s Heaven
So let ’em close the gates
Oh, if they don’t like the way you’re made, then they’re not any better
If paradise is pressure
Oh, we’ll go to hell together”

#2: There will be anarchy. Lawlessness will abound. We’re seeing that.
Matthew 24: 12-13 – 12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But he who endures to the end shall be saved.
_____________________________________________
#3: Apathy. The love of many will grow cold. We’re seeing that.
Matthew 24: 12-13 – 12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But he who endures to the end shall be saved.
Revelation 3:15-16 – 15 I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! 16 So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.

#4: Persecution of believers. There will be persecution and a time of great resistance against the Church. We’re seeing that now.
Here are some articles that will make you heartsick:
https://www.opendoors.org/en-US/persecution/countries/
The Covid-19 pandemic was used as an excuse by the Left in America to shut down churches for months in 2020 and all the way through 2022. While bars, liquor stores, strip clubs, and many other types of businesses either closed temporarily or remained open all along, having been deemed “essential.” For example, grocery stores, car mechanics, gas stations, pharmacies, cannabis dispensaries, hardware stores, banks, post offices, convenience stores, laundromats, etc., all stayed open, while only churches had to close. Per government mandates. In America, where there is supposed to be a Constitutional protection for religion. This may be milder persecution than what goes on in other countries, but this is how the more extreme persecution starts. And if it goes unchecked, with no one standing up and saying, “The right to worship our God is not only protected, it is essential…and even more essential when times of distress, like that of 2020, come about.”
I heard crickets. The church, for the most part, accepted being closed. We let that and many, many other things happen that we never should have.
In some states churches were closed for as long as two years, and many churches never made it back open again.
“God and Country” is a movie produced by Rob Reiner released in 2024: The film discusses the emergence of Christian nationalism and its close relationship with far-right politics in the United States, exploring its perceived threat to democracy and the politicization of Christianity. (In some good news: this movie bombed at the box office – having ticket sales of only $60,000 worldwide! This is what would be known in Hollywood as an epic fail!) Good try, Meathead. Still, even though by 2024 people were starting to wake up, Christians are still too apathetic to the wrongdoing of our citizens at the hands of our government, in my opinion. And if we remain silent, when we know the truth, and we don’t stop evil in our society and government, God is not pleased.

#5: And the Gospel of Jesus Christ will be preached to all the nations. With the advent of the internet, it is actually impossible now to stop the Gospel from spreading across the entire globe. People in every nation are getting saved. Even in Iran under the risk of death. England’s irreverent comedian, Russel Brand, recently accepted Christ which many see as a sure sign of the end (you can watch Tucker Carlson’s interview of him talking about this on tuckercarlson.com. This is worth the time to watch.)
Matthew 24:14: And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
________________________________________________
#6: There will be worldwide inability to see the truth. Again, we quote from Matthew 24:
Matthew 24:3-5 – 3 As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” 4 Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many.
We are seeing this blatantly displayed in our government as well as our society. It’s like it’s upside-down day in people’s heads. Whatever is good, they think is evil, and whatever is evil, the more lascivious the better, they think is gooooood. Drag shows for kids. Life-altering mutilating surgeries for kids. Men in women’s sports. ETCETERA, ETCETERA. Being black and/or transgender is the new god. And to think otherwise, as most Bible-believing Christians do (we listen to God, not man), is the new form of demonization.

#7: There will be terrible times of selfishness, greed, pride, self-righteousness, and abusive brutality. Ring a bell? This describes the democrats to a tee.
2 Timothy 3:1-5 – But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.

And then our King will come riding on the clouds.
Matthew 24:30 – Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory.
