Number 1 Sign of the Second Coming
by Britt Gillette
While on the Mount of Olives, the disciples approached Jesus and asked Him, “What are the signs of your coming and the end of the age?” (Matthew 24:3). Jesus replied by giving them a list of signs and events to look for, such false prophets, earthquakes, wars, and desecration of the Temple. But Jesus said once they see one sign in particular, they should “look up” because redemption draws near. Fast forward almost two thousand years, and our generation is witness to the number one sign Jesus said to look for. So what is it?
Convergence
That’s right. The number one sign is not a single sign, but the convergence of all the signs that Jesus, Moses, and the Old Testament prophets said to look for. Jesus said, “When you see all these things occur, look up. For your salvation is near!” (Luke 21:28). Note that Jesus didn’t say, “When you see one or two of these signs.” He said, “When you see all these signs.” In other words, the convergence of all the signs He spoke of are what we should be looking for.
The Converging Signs
“There’s a great deal to say in the Bible about the signs we’re to watch for and when these signs all converge at one place we can be sure that we’re close to the end of the age. And those signs, in my judgment, are converging now for the first time since Jesus made those predictions.” – Billy Graham, World Net Daily, 10/20/2013
Our generation is unique among all those before us because we see the convergence of the signs Jesus and the prophets said to look for. Here are just a few:
1) Israel – In A.D. 70, Roman soldiers put down a rebellion, sacked Jerusalem, destroyed the Temple, and carried the Jewish people to the farthest corners of the Empire to serve as slaves. They tried to eliminate every trace of the nation of Israel, even renaming the land Palestine in honor of Israel’s historical enemies, the Philistines. The Roman intent was to erase all memory of the nation of Israel forever.
But God had other plans. Thousands of years ago, He foretold the long exile of His people. And He promised to call them from “among the nations” (Ezekiel 39:28), from “the farthest corners of the earth” (Isaiah 11:12), and from “north, south, east, and west” (Psalm 107:3). He promised to welcome the Jewish people home from the lands where they were scattered (Ezekiel 20:34), and He promised to restore them to the land of Israel from distant lands (Jeremiah 30:2, 10). And this is exactly what He did. Every single person on earth is an eyewitness to the modern miracle of Israel. The prophets said that following this restoration, the Messiah will come and set up His everlasting Kingdom (Isaiah 35, Joel 3, Jeremiah 23, Micah 4). In other words, Israel’s existence today is a sign that the Second Coming is near.
For 1,878 years, Christians could not point to the sign of Israel. It didn’t exist. The Jews were not in the land. But today, they are.
2) Jerusalem – When the disciples asked Jesus to reveal the signs of His coming and the end of the age, He made a statement that’s one of the keys to understanding the timing of His return. He told the disciples this: Jerusalem “will be trampled by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles come to an end,” and then Jesus promised to return (Luke 21:24-28).
The trampling of Jerusalem by the Gentiles began with the destruction of the Temple in A.D. 70 by Titus and the Roman legions. For centuries thereafter, Gentile kings and kingdoms exercised complete control over the Temple Mount and the Old City of Jerusalem. However, in June 1967, the Six Day War concluded with Israel in control of Jerusalem and the Temple Mount for the first time since A.D. 70. And according to Jesus, the Jewish repossession of Jerusalem will closely followed by His return.
For 1,897 years, Christians could not point to the sign of Israel or the Jewish people controlling Jerusalem. They didn’t. For those 1,897 years, numerous Gentile kingdoms ruled over Jerusalem. But today, Israel controls Jerusalem.
3) Travel & Knowledge – In the Book of Daniel, an angel told Daniel to keep the prophecies revealed to him a secret until a later date. But what later date? The angel said, “Until the end times, when travel and knowledge will increase” (Daniel 12:4). In other words, a significant increase in travel and knowledge will mark the end times and the time just prior to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.
Have we seen such an increase? I think the answer is obvious. For all of human history right up until the early 19th Century, the fastest mode of land-based transportation was a horse. Yet today, we can travel to the other side of the earth in a matter of hours. As for an increase in knowledge, think about how much information in on the Internet. In 1990, there was only one website. Six years later, the Internet featured more than one hundred thousand. And a decade later? One hundred million. Today, estimates place the number of websites at somewhere around six hundred million. And that number will be out of date before you read this.

Most of The Jews in Israel will not be saved because they are not Real Jews….Also they do not believe in Christ….Only a Remnant will be saved….
Gods Chosen people come from The Gentiles who are The Real Descendants of The Lost 10 Tribes…..Israel is JACOB…… Not The Rothschild owned Zionist Country…..
If you don’t believe in Christ- You will not be saved…It is that simple!!! I am tired of all The Idiots who just don’t Get It!!! The Jews Reject Christ!!! Does The Penny Finally drop?????
Scripture is very Clear on This…………..
Its edom doing their tricks to keep people from learning the truth and humbling themselves to God. Just like all the yhvhists who don’t know yhvh and Yahweh are kabbalist and Jewish mystical gods. We should just be in awe and adoration that He is endeared by the name father. Which is what Jesus called him. I haven’t seen that name given to him in the Greek which is what Jesus and the apostles used. Only early English translations of which were in their own right faulty and usually depended heavilly on the Hebrew due to masonic and Jewish influences in high society England in those days.
Most Jews, Christians, and Muslims won’t escape hell because they eat dead animal corpses and their hands are stained with blood.
Sure I know the book of the OT Jews and Pharisee Paul say it’s all good to kill and eat dead flesh- But GOD and Jesus were both VERY ANGRY at the sins of the Pharisees and Israelites. They were filtering out gnats but swallowing the camel!
We know the wolves in sheep clothing by their fruits… What fruits do Wolves partake in? What fruits do Sheep partake in?
The prophets knew this and were killed for blaspheming the Jews tradition of atonement by killing innocent animals.
Psalms 51:16- You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.
I worship NOT the GOD who requires innocent bloodshed to forgive me.. I choose the narrow road.
Unexplainable.Net says, “Most Jews, Christians, and Muslims won’t escape hell because they eat dead animal corpses and their hands are stained with blood.”
To which I say, hey Unexplainable, maybe you need to go back to your beloved ‘Bible’ and read 1 Timothy 4, Verses 1-5. There, you will find that those who are ‘fallen away’ are the ones who, in the end times, will try to control who you marry and what you will eat, for all that was given for food is sanctified under God, if it was prayed over first.
Once again, we see another misled by some man-church trying to control people for the sake of POWER, not for the sake of doing right. Greed is the great sin of man, but POWER is the great sin of creators and demons, for they all seek it. Clearly, someone thinks you (or they) are a god, to have professed to you to control what others eat by way of condemnation.
Read all of 1 Timothy 4, and you will see, that in actuality, those who are ‘Vegan’ are going to Hell – your Jesus says so.
@DustDevil- Yes, I am the guy pharisee Paul warns you about who eateth only herbs….
you said “Read all of 1 Timothy 4, and you will see, that in actuality, those who are ‘Vegan’ are going to Hell – your Jesus says so.”
Uhh No. 1 Tim was written by Pharisee Paul. Not Jesus.
You can believe the leaven of the Pharisees all you want. You can go ahead and be a disciple Pharisee Paul. After-all, The Roman Emperor Constantine approved of him and made him dominant in the Official Cannon New Testament.
You can keep eat corpses and believe all your sins are forgiven, but I will seek forgiveness by hungering for righteousness and eating the fruits of the earth.
Perhaps you should live through a few Ice Ages (the earth has gone through at least seventeen of them) where virtually no fruits and vegetables grew except in the equatorial zones before you go about condemning all meat eaters! During the Ice Ages, the human beings that ate meat were the survivors.
Vegetarianism arose in ancient India because the specific Ice Age climate in that region allowed non-meat eaters to survive. Basically, you are spouting a doctrine that was started by the ancient Aryans (they later became the Hindus and Buddhists) and when those people migrated into the Middle East (early Sumer) they brought their religious doctrines with them.
Please, don’t try to pass off vegetarianism as a Christian doctrine. It isn’t and it never was.
Yea Rob.. It should have been in the commandments.. ( Oh wait…. Thou Shall Not Kill)….
I understand you believe Able offered the slain beast..
I understand you believe GOD Loves the smell of Burnt Flesh..
I understand you believe GOD commanded killing innocent animals on an alter..
The Pharisees understood this too!
@Kelly
You obviously never read the Clementine Homilies (By Clement of Rome) who was trained by Peter..
You obviously never read The Gospel of the Holy 12..
And you obviously skipped over Genesis 1:29-30 where GOD ordained all Man and Beast to eat only seed bearing plants.
Rob- So let me get this straight Rob.
You tell me “don’t judge others….”
BUT You can come right out and say “If you don’t believe in Christ- You will not be saved…It is that simple!!! I am tired of all The Idiots who just don’t Get It!!! ”
Basically, you Judge people for not believing bloodshed forgives sin.. Then you call me judgmental because I call for mercy for the weak and voiceless.
I had no idea if you were vegetarian or not. But I certainly have every right to voice my opinion and scriptures that I believe.. And I believe GOD want’s us to walk humbly showing mercy to all his creations.
I love these kind of BIN articles.
Convergence… even the Ebola and Enterovirus 68 outbreak/pandemics (both incurable) are part of the signs of the age.
The signs: “false prophets, earthquakes, wars, and desecration of the Temple.”
In other words, the very things that every human has seen on a weekly basis for the last two thousand years.
“Until the end times, when travel and knowledge will increase” ??
Have you talked to people on the street of late?? there’s no knowledge there! it’s a vacuous wasteland, devoid of anything that could remotely be construed as being knowledge!
Knowledge increases for those who fear God. That is the beginning of wisdom. What you see in society is people pursuing their own selfishness and iniquity until the timewhere it shall be poured upon them undiluted.
However people are waking up every day to all sorts of things. With Internet most anything is discoverable through a short search… id say that’s pretty impressive compared to even ten years ago. Most things were still veiled to most. Just keep watching and pray.
People will be eating flesh of animals and drinking wine when the Day of the Lord Comes. Just as they were eating animal corpses in the days of Noah before the flood came..
proverbs 23:20- Be not among drunkards or among gluttonous eaters of meat
(I’m the guy Paul warned Ya About- Leaving the faith and forbidding people to eat meat)
Rom 14:2 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.
Yep.. The churches were filled with Vegans in Jesus’ time.. Your verse is proof.
St Augustine said “Those who abstain from meat and wine are without number”.. The Clementine Homilies (Clement of Rome Trained By Apostle Peter) also back this up and promoted vegetarianism.
But Pharisee Paul who had a self proclaimed revelation on the road to Damascus fought against the vegans, exactly as you posted.
You can stand with the Roman Emperor approved scriptures of Constantine and believe Paul, but for me, I choose what Clement says, as he was trained by Peter (who was a real disciple)..
HE HAS RETURNED, BUT CHURCHES AND GOVERNMENTS ARE HIDING THE TRUTH:
That is st. Georges mark of the beast. Like the English dragon and the monarch crown. The demon worshippers desire to build a temple. Jesus was talking of the temple inside. Your god is a demon, he is a war lord, his son will claim to be God and be an idol. Jesus would never say I am God, worship me as an idol and you will be sent to heaven. If you dont I will send tornadoes an errupt volcanos and shake the earth!? Yes that is a demon king.
You are an organization of clowns. You have clowns in governments and religions all over the world. You hide and play split and rule in your false religions and plolicy. Your the living proof that us humans really lived with Neanderthals and one day you will have your own apocalypse. You will see the earth as a giant sircus and know you are the clowns. Its you occult organization that gives you power, on your own you are Neanderthals or Clowns. Let the truth organize and your organization down, it will vanish with you stone temple and your foolish order of the ages.
Nothing shall conceal Him. All powers will be shaken.all eyes will see him. Even those that pierced him.
Well written article
You might want to rethink the rapture though
Call me crazy but what are the odds 666 was drawn on the Chicago lotto the day after Obamas election while he was still in Chicago celebrating that’s a fact .

You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

Just Google all these facts and see for yourself . All I’m saying is what are the odds ?
Nothing I wrote is made up you can’t argue with that Gods word is Indisputable .
You can continue being Godless deaf dumb and blind it’s your choice it’s your fate not mine . I know the odds makes you sick to your stomach but the fact remains you can’t argue with not even one thing I wrote like I said nothing is made up. Don’t be scared of the truth just repent and you will be fine.
Here is what’s coming to this world
WW3 with Russia and China this year Mark my words if you don’t believe war is coming with those countries your dumber than a can of rocks!

Flight 17 went down on the 17th Israel invaded Gaza on the 17th Look what 17 means in the bible !
http://www.biblestudy.org/bibleref/meaning-of-numbers-in-bible/17.html
The Meaning of Numbers: The Number 17
In the Bible the number 17 symbolizes “overcoming the enemy” and “complete victory.” God overcame the sins of rebellious humans when he began to flood the earth through rain on the 17th of the second Hebrew month. Noah’s ark and its eight passengers rested on the mountains of Ararat on the 17th of the seventh month (right in the middle of God’s annual Holy period known as the Feast of Tabernacles).
Jesus Christ gained a complete victory over death and the grave when God resurrected him near sunset on Nisan 17 (Saturday, April 8, 30 A.D.).
In the book of 1Corinthians the thirteenth chapter, the seventeenth mention of the word ‘love’ comes when the apostle Paul states that it is the GREATEST gift of all (1Corinthians 13:13). God’s unending love (John 3:16) is truly victorious over all things. Those who stay faithful to God to the end of their lives will gain the victory over the grave when they are miraculous brought back to life (see 1Corinthians 15).
Daniel 7′s beasts have seven heads and ten horns, for a total number of 17. They represent world-ruling powers from Daniel’s time to the Second Coming of Jesus. The devil’s end-time system (Revelation 13) will have seven heads and ten horns, which totals 17. All mankind will very soon obey and worship the devil and the Beast power. They will war against those who have faith in Jesus and keep the commandments, thus achieving a victory (though short-lived) against God’s people (Revelation 13:1 – 😎.
True Christians, however, will gain the ultimate victory over God’s adversaries when he resurrects them back to life (Revelation 15:2; 20:4). One of the major themes of the Day of Atonement (commonly referred to as Yom Kippur), which occurs in the seventh Hebrew month on the tenth day, is the binding of Satan (see Revelation 20). Thus, 10 plus 7 equal the number 17, which testifies to Christ’s perfect overcoming of Satan.
Put together every major event you can think of in history month day and and the last two digits in the year then look at the biblical number chart everything will make sense to you see for yourself !!
1.Check out the blood moon dates! Also check out 9/11 and the day the nuke was dropped on japan.
2.Check out 3/11/11 the day of the japan tsunami !
3.Look up when the First World War started look up 19 then 14 1914 now try 2014
4. Check out D Day 6/6/1944 See what the number 18 means . Revelation 18
5. Look up 2/12/13 the day Pope Benedict quit that’s the day the lighting struck

My birthday for example means law and love.
You should even check out other figures such as hitler etc even our presidents and what number they are currently as president .
For example our president is the 44th president . But focus more on history so your eyes can finally open .

◄ Acts 2:17 ►
“‘In the last days God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.
Not to offend… Looks like great stuff here in your comment. Have you considered making an article out of all the information you presented. It will probably get more readership that way.
Wait a second here. Jesus will set up the new kingdom not a group of crypto Jew ,blood thirsty ,ethnic cleansing, Zionist, Christian murdering ,satanist. Oh yeah to be able to dwell in the land given to Jesus there are some rules God has…….might wanna check those out . Also the sacrifice guy talking about God needing sacrifices ya might wanna read the stinking bible instead of repeating crap from other people. Try Jeremiah 7:21 and 22. It will tell you who the chosen people were listening to. Hope that helps. Feed your mind folks.
AGreed.. Surely these Flesh-Eating Sacrificial Worshipers will meet their destiny..
Added to your scripture references:
Jeremiah 8:8
Isaiah 1:11-12
Hosea 8:13
proverbs 23:20
The deception is so great it will fool the very elect. They think killing innocent animals and men forgive sins while continuing to eat meat sacrificed to the god of their own stomach in hopes to be raptured with apostle Paul.
You are applying 20th and 21st century lifestyle values to starving people needing to perform backbreaking physical labour to live until the day they dropped. It is a holier than thou value system that was historically used in India to stigmatize and demote the poor into lower and lower castes for trying to avoid starving until they finally became outcastes.
The thousands of people who read this “Rapture-Ready” propaganda are being poisoned by heresy, misinterpretation and perhaps even deliberate misdirection. Very sad and tragic when incompetents attempt to explain the mysteries of Holy Scripture — especially when they use versions of the Bible abridged and altered by heretics.
there are no jews, there is no jesus Christ, there is no devil, demons or satan. Prophets are information hosts given tid bits of info by the computer! Who can say who the anti-Christ is, you will never know. The bible is a fraud but it predicts the future.
You are a Joke…Ha Ha
You didn’t mention Dick Heads which would have blown your whole theory….Stick to your Playschool sites,,,This stuff is beyond your Pre Natal mind…
Christ Fed the 5000 with 2 loaves of bread & 5 Fishes…..For all you Vegans out there as well who think it is wrong to even eat fish……
You can believe that if you wish.. but the Gospel of the Holy 12 says he fed the 5,000 with bread and grapes. And Clement of Rome confirms all disciples were vegetarian.
Now I know you’re just a Troll so I won’t waste my time ……You are just one of The Sheep…that;s why you don’t eat meat…
I’m the Reluctant Messenger revealing Obama’s the Antichrist.
Follow me or you’ll not be saved.
All are false christs except for us.
There you are again you little frenchie spewing your spiel…
There is only one unique sign of the ‘end times’ in Christianity.., when the dead come out of their memorial tombs, the sea gives up it’s dead, and people will wish for death but death won’t find them. It’s called the zombie apocalypse. Not that it will affect the religious, seeing as they are already brain dead.
Jesus said before he returns, that His followers in Jerusalem must flee to the mountains, and then Jerusalem will be destroyed
The followers of Jesus will experience a great persecution, or “tribulation” before his return
The sun will be turned to darkness
The moon will be turned to the appearance of blood
The stars shall fall from Heaven
There must be a great earthquake “before” the sun is darkened and the moon becomes as blood
Trouble between capital and labor will occur
Wars and rumors of wars
Distress, perplexity, and fear within all nations
Knowledge shall be increased
there will be scoffers and they will not endure sound doctrine
there will be wide spread immorality and a decline of spirituality
In the last days there will be a craze for pleasure
No regard for law, bloody crimes and violence will increase
Earthquakes, storms, pestilences and famines shall increase
The gospel is to be preached world wide in the very end
Many will turn to seducing spirits, and lies of the occult will be accepted worldwide
Prophecies 1 through 6 proclaim the “nearness” of Christ’s coming. Prophecies 7 through 17 proclaim we ARE in the very last days!
