Some people who call themselves Christians demonstrate their lack of true faith by doubting God’s promised ultimate victory. Matthew 24:5-8 gives us some important clues so we can discern the approach of the end times; “For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.”
An increase in false messiahs, an increase in warfare, an increases in famines, plagues, and natural disasters—these are signs of the end times. In this passage, though, we are given a warning: we are not to be deceived, because these events are only the beginning of birth pains; the end is still to come.
Some interpreters point to every earthquake, every political upheaval, and every attack on Israel as a sure sign that the end times are rapidly approaching. While the events may signal the approach of the last days, they are not necessarily indicators that the end times have arrived. The apostle Paul warned the last days would bring a marked increase in false teaching. “The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons” (1 Timothy 4:1).
The last days are described as “perilous times” because of the increasingly evil character of man and people who actively “resist the truth” (2 Timothy 3:1-9; see also 2 Thessalonians 2:3).
Other possible signs would include advances toward a one-world government. Whether the anti-Christ will be a man, a force, or an ideology, we know that the enemies of God will preach inter-racial unity and brotherhood. They will attack those who dissent from their universalist pablum of tolerance and equality. Therefore, those who teach multiracialism are God’s enemies, and should be ours, as well.
With these signs in mind, we can be wise and discerning in regard to the expectation of the end times. We should not, however, interpret any of these singular events as a clear indication of the soon arrival of the end times. Go ahead and feel free to enjoy the solar eclipse this month for the fascinating astronomical rarity it is, without undue fear.
God has given us enough information that we can be prepared, and this is what we are called to be.
