What On Earth Is Happening? Signs Of The End Times by Val Waldeck

Compelling Evidence For the Soon Return Of Christ.

We are living in one of the most exciting periods of this world's history. Time, as we know it, is rapidly drawing to a close as the COMING OF THE LORD and the end of the world draws near. All over the world people are aware that something is happening and that we are living in the end times.

This is the age of fulfilment of Bible prophecy and, for the discerning believer, our local newspapers bear testimony to that fact daily.

Before 1900 very few commentaries were written on prophetical books like Daniel and Revelation. It was not easy in those days to understand, for example, how something lodged in the human body would enable a person to "buy and sell" (Rev. 13:16,17) ... or the possibility of the whole world simultaneously viewing an event in Jerusalem (Rev. 11:9-12).

The Old Testament prophet, Daniel, wrote that end-time prophecy would be more clearly understood as knowledge increases in the last days and it is an exciting fact. "But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased ... for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end." (Dan. 12:4,9 KJV).

Someone has said that if this world’s history could be condensed into a twenty-four hour period, all the major events and discoveries will have happened in the last 24 hours. This is one of the major signs of His Soon Return.

As historical events unfold THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES are evident for all who will see. Paul wrote in 1 Thess. 5:4 "But you, brothers, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief."

The Lord Jesus Christ put it this way: "And when these things begin to come to pass, then LOOK UP, and lift up your heads, for your redemption draweth nigh." (Luke 21:28).
