Signs of the Last Days: Part 2

 

Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: Isaiah 46:9-10

I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I shewed them; I did them suddenly, and they came to pass. Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and they neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass; I have even from the beginning declared it to thee; before it came to pass I shewed it thee: lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded them. Isaiah 48:3-5

In part one, we began to look at the condition of the world and its inhabitants signifying that we are indeed in the last days. Let's now look specifically at the condition of Christianity in the last days. What does the Bible say will be the condition of those claiming to be off the faith.

Signs of the Last Days: Part 1

Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God. And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them shew unto them. Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any. Isaiah 44:6-8

And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe. John 14:29

Only God can declare the future. One of the purposes of prophecy is to encourage faith. As Bible prophecy is consistently fulfilled we know we can trust the Word of God and its author with our lives and the future. What does the Bible say about the end times? What are the signs that we will know we are in the last days?
