Matthew 16:1-3<\/strong><\/p>\n

Then the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing Him asked that he would show them a sign from heaven. He answered and said to them, \u201cWhen it is evening you say, \u2018It will be fair weather, for the sky is red\u2019; and in the morning, \u2018It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening.\u2019 Hypocrites! You know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times.<\/em><\/p>\n

Can We Interpret The Signs of Our Time?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Matthew 24: 1-8<\/strong><\/p>\n

Then Jesus went out and departed from the temple, and His disciples came up to show Him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said to them, \u201cDo you not see all these things? Assuredly, I say to you, not one stone shall be left here upon another, that shall not be thrown down.\u201d <\/em>Now as he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, \u201cTell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?\u201d And Jesus answered and said to them: \u201cTake heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying, \u201cI am the Christ,\u201d and will deceive many. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.<\/em><\/p>\n

II Timothy 3:1-5<\/strong><\/p>\n

But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God.<\/p>\n

Matthew 24: 42-44<\/strong><\/p>\n

Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming. But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

What on earth is the world coming to?\u2026. An end!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n
