Matt 24:4-9 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.

I heard a preacher once say that there were “No signs indicating the time of the rapture in the Bible”, and I at once thought that statement wrong. Then as I began to study the last days I soon found he was right. As Jesus spoke of the last days He was speaking to Israel, not the church and the things He spoke of were signs of His Second Coming to the earth in wrath and judgment, not the first part of His Second Coming for the church. We do find much information later in the New Testament of the conditions in the church and the world as we near the Second Coming of our Lord. Yet there is nothing to indicate the time of the rapture of the church. Still today we see the stage being set for what Jesus spoke of here in Matthew 24. More war in the Middle East for America it seems, Israel in open engagement in the Gaza, we do see the stage being set do we not? What if a man stood up tomorrow with a plan for world peace that seemed like it would actually work, would that man at least be listened to? The stage for sure has been set for the rapture of God’s church and these are exciting times we are living in. My question to you is this, are your ready for the end? More tomorrow.
