Are We Living in the Biblical Revelation?

“-…Tell us, when will this be and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” - Matthew 24:3

This question was asked by the disciples of Jesus Christ when they sat on the Mount of Olives. People around the globe since have been wondering about this.

Jesus had given us the answer.

“…Take heed that no one leads you astray. For many will come in my name, saying, “I am the Christ, and they will lead many astray. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars; see that you are not alarmed; for this must take place, butthe end is not. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, andthere will be famines and earthquakes in various places and all this is but the beginning of the sufferings.”(Matthew 24:4-8)

We cannot helped but be alarmed because we are here witnessing the words in the bible frighteningly come to life.

He meant what he said. “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.” (Matthew 24:35)

But as to when this will actually occur, Jesus said; “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.”(Matthew 24:3)

Through all these, He instructed us that we must be ready for He is coming at an hour we do not expect.

When that time comes, those who remain faithful to Him until the end will be with Him as He promised. “He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning nor crying nor pain any more, for the former things have passed away.” (Revelation 21:4)
