Prophesies That Point To Jesus Coming Back In This Generation

By Edna Booker


Christians since the departure of Christ believed that Christ would come back during their lifetime. However, there are several prophesies that in the bible which points to His coming back. Interestingly, these prophesies are being fulfilled in this generation. This shows His return is imminent. Below are some of prophesies that show that Jesus coming back might happen in this generation.

Jesus said that the days of wickedness would be shortened for the sake of people since if they were left to go on, they would wipe themselves out of the earth This is found in Mathew 24:22. It is now possible more than ever before for the world to eliminate itself. There are a lot of nuclear and hydrogen weapons stocked over the last 50 or so years. Anytime, they could fall into wrong hands and lead to mass destruction.

Jewish homeland has also ben reestablished in Middle East. In Luke 21:7 Jesus talks of the budding of the flower as a sign that he will come back. There have been so many battles that have been fought in Jerusalem including an exile. Finally, the Jewish state was re-established in 1948. Zechariah 12.2-3 talks of all the countries in the world gaging against Jews but they are destroyed by God.

The other remarkable event is the union of European countries. Daniel chapter 2 and 7 talks about empires that will rise in world before the kingdom of God is established. The last empire was the Roman Empire that was broken up into the European countries. The bible calls then the ten horns. In Revelation 17,12-14 the holy bible talks about the attempt to unite.

There are several countries that have joined up to form the European Union and have put systems in place to form a single state. There is a single currency, a parliament, and all that it takes to form a single state. In the history, the countries tried to join up by use of force. However, the new union is voluntary. The holy bible predicts that ten of them will come together and become one nation giving way to the return of the Christ.

Jesus also said that He will not come back before the Gospel has spread through all the corners of the earth as recorded in Mathew 24:14. While there has been restrictions to spread of gospel in many communist and Islamic countries, Technology has turned tables. Through TV, internet and radio more people have been reached the gospel.

There have been higher frequencies of famines, earthquakes and pestilence in the last century than there have been since the middle ages. Mathew 27:7-9 predicts that in the final days, all these will happen and that it will be the beginning of sorrows.

People also forsook God and engaged in all forms of immorality and wickedness. This has grown to extremely high levels. There are lots of murders, increased hate, and individualism among other ills. Marriages are breaking up fast; children are aborted at an amazing rate making this more of a lawless world as Luke 9:23 states.
