SIGNS OF THE END OF THIS AGE / MATTHEW 24:4

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Matthew 24:4

 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

SIGNS OF THE END OF THIS AGE / MATTHEW 24:4

In Matthew 24:4-14 Jesus gives the signs (Matthew 24:3) that will characterize the course of the last days and will intensify as the end draws nearer. 

  1. Religious deception will be commonly practiced in societies of the world. False prophets and deceptive religious teachers within the church will increase and deceive many (Matthew 24:4-5, 11). 
  2. Armed conflict and natural disasters will increase. Wars, famines and earthquakes (Matthew 24:6-7) will be “the beginning of birth pains” (Matthew 24:8) for the Messianic age (when Christ returns to conquer evil and rule the earth at the end of history; Revelation 20).
  3. Persecution of God’s people will increase and become more severe (Matthew 24:9), and many will abandon their loyalty to Christ (Matthew 24:9-10). Surprisingly, some of the mistreatment will come from within the church. 
  4. Love will fade, and compassion will grow cold. People will become increasingly harsh toward one another. Violence, crime and disregard for God’s law will increase rapidly, and natural love and family affection will decrease (Matthew 24:12; Mark 13:12; 2 Timothy 3:3).
  5. There will also be effective evangelism. In spite of this time of increasing trouble and uncertainty, the message of Christ will spread throughout the world (Matthew 24:14). Many will respond, accepting His forgiveness and beginning a personal relationship with God. 
  6. Those who stand firm in their faith through all of the end-time distress will be saved in the end (Matthew 24:13). 

People who are faithful to Christ, as they see the worsening and increase of these signs, will know that the day of the Lord’s return for them is “approaching” (Hebrews 10:25; John 14:3).
