The Bible says in the Book of Matthew, Chapter 24 verse 12: And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. That is the answer that Jesus gave to His disciples when they asked him this question in Matthew Chapter 24 verse 3: "Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?" Did you catch that? They were asking Him what to look for so they would know that His coming was about to take place. Now, let's look at the answer again: lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. So if I read that right then when mankind finds itself in a state of lawlessness then Jesus' coming is imminent! So let's see where we are at this point in history. The following news headlines were all taken from this week's newspapers off the Internet:
Teacher arrested a third time for sex with students
School burglarized of $1000 raised by band members
Father has incest with daughter and keeps her locked in the basement for 24 years while fathering 7 children with her
ATF Agent: Alleged School Bomb Plotter wanted to kill Jesus
Horse cut, burned in third horrific attack this month
Police: Skeleton remained on couch while others lived at home
Homemade bottle bomb packed with hooks, BB's explodes at California School
Ok, I think that is enough to illustrate the point that I was trying to make. Remember, these are only headlines from the last couple of days. Now, before anyone goes jumping to conclusions you need to remember that Jesus never said EXACTLY when all this would take place. I mean he didn't tell his followers "Watch out for me on November 3rd, 2012 at 11:00am EST" What He did do though is give us conditions and signs to watch for so that we would know when the time was getting short. So, now the rest is up to the reader. What do you think?
