in this video I'm going to share with you five Bible prophecies about the second coming of Jesus that many Christians are either unaware of or ignorant and if you stick around until the end I've got a Bonus one that is literally happening right now that just might shock [Music] you okay so counting down from number five to number one is number five Rebirth of Israel as a nation now the Bible says that Israel must be a nation before Jesus returns a second time now there are two primary scriptures that we need to look at in
order to see how this fifth prophecy which is really my first prophecy in this video was fulfilled and the first scripture we're going to take a look at is Ezekiel 37: 21 and 22 and it says and give them this message from The Sovereign Lord I will gather the people of Israel from among the Nations I will bring them home to their own land from the places where they have been scattered I will unify them into one nation on the mountains of Israel one king will rule them all no longer will they be divided into
two Nations or into two kingdoms now the obvious question here might be how do we know that this prophecy wasn't referring to when God brought his people back from Babylon to Israel after the 70 years of captivity had ended now I want you to pay close attention to a few things that are talking about in this particular verse notice it says that God will gather his people from among the Nations so I want you to keep in mind that in the Old Testament when God allowed his people to return to Israel they primarily returned from
one place Babylon right that was the place where God had allowed them to go into captivity but this scripture suggests that God is going to reather his people from all of the Nations around the earth and plant them securely once again in their own land and notice it says they will be unified into one nation I want you to pay close attention to that now finally it says here that one king will rule them all well if you know anything about history when the Jews returned from Babylon after the 70 years of captivity which was
around 586 BC or so they were never ruled by Kings the land was basically under Persian control and then it became Greek control and then ultimately when Christ came it was under Roman control and it was overseen by Governors but not Kings but this scripture says that at one point in the future that the Jews in the land of Israel is going to be ruled under one king and this is the reason why Scholars see this scripture as being ultimately fulfilled with Christ reigning as king over the Jewish people at some time in the future
which is why it was necessary my brothers and sisters that Israel become a nation once again now the second scripture is the one that really solidifies this prophecy and that is Isaiah 66:8 and it says who has ever seen anything as strange as this whoever heard of such a thing now here it is has a nation ever been born in a single day has a country ever come forth in a mere moment but by the time Jerusalem's birth pains begin her children will be born now I want you to notice this because this is so
critical to fully understanding this prophecy notice it says here that Israel would become a nation in a single day and quote in a mere moment this has never happened in the past in the Old Testament I want you to keep in mind that when the Jews were brought back to Israel they came back to Israel in several wavs over time not just being established as a nation in one day but on May 14th 1948 on a single day Israel was officially declared a nation again and this is SE seen as an extremely important sign of
Jesus second coming because before then many biblical Scholars they were perplexed they were like hey how is God going to fulfill all of his prophecies to the nation of Israel if Israel was not yet a nation but this all changed on one day one single day just as Isaiah said May 14th 1948 after nearly 2,000 years of God's chosen people being spread out scattered dispersed throughout the world and God ultimately established them as a nation in one day now to return to ezekiel's prophecy about God Gathering his people from among the Nations so since Israel
became a nation again in 1948 if you just look at history millions of Jews from all over the world have been returning to Israel from places like Europe places like Asia Africa the Soviet Union France the United States India South America and more recently Ukraine and many more and so this continuous migration of Jews from all the nations of the earth is a fulfillment of ezekiel's Prophecy that God would reather his people from all of the Nations around the world so this is prophecy number five that really points to the second coming of Jesus Christ
that has already been fulfilled but now let's move on to prophecy number four and that my brothers and sisters is an increase in Global Knowledge you see the Bible says that before Christ returns there is going to be a rapid increase of Global Knowledge if you look at Daniel 12:4 Daniel prophesied this he said but you Daniel keep this prophecy a secret seal up the book until the time of the end when many will Rush here and there and notice and knowledge will will increase now I want you to notice here that Daniel says that
towards the end when the end of days approaches knowledge will increase now you might say well hasn't knowledge always been increasing I mean at the end of the day haven't people always been increasing in their knowledge yes it has but not at the rate in which we have seen it more recently you see Daniel's prophecy came at a time when knowledge and communic a were relatively stagnant and for centuries you can look at history just look at the history of the world and look at the the the technological advancements for centuries technological advancements were slow
but today in just the last 100 years we've seen a mindblowing acceleration of knowledge and I want you to think about this within just a generation we've gone from basic landline telephones to smartphones that can access an infinite amount of information at the touch of a screen we've gone from handwritten letters to instant worldwide communication from horsedrawn carriages to space exploration and from early computers that filled entire rooms to AI technology capable of learning on its own all right now look to put this in perspective for centuries human knowledge doubled every few 100 years but
now experts estimate that our Collective knowledge is doubling approximately every 12 hours are you getting that every 12 hours why due to advancements in technology artificial intelligence medicine and instant Global Communication so this kind of Rapid expansion was unimaginable in Daniel's time and quite frankly even just a few decades ago and this is all pointing to the return of Jesus Christ but here is the interesting thing this is what I find so interesting even though we are living in a time when we are overwhelmed with information the question is are we getting wiser we are
not at a loss for commu for uh uh information we have a lot of information but the question is is it causing us to learn more and draw closer to Christ and become wiser well the Bible tells us in 2 Timothy 37 such people are always learning but never able to come to the knowledge of the truth and my brothers and sisters isn't that a reflection of our society today we have more knowledge we have more access to things we've got the internet we've got uh uh AI we've got uh uh all sorts of apps
on our phone we've got Google we've got chat gbt we got all this stuff but yet a less of an understanding of God's truth now let's move on to prophecy number three that points to the return of Jesus Christ and this is one I've talked about a lot in many of my videos and I'm just going to call this one the rise and deception of false prophets you see this prophecy it points directly to the return of Christ because we see all kinds of deception and false prophets and prophecy in our world today now this
one we are seeing literally unfold right before our very eyes and for this and for the remainder of this video what I'm going to do is I'm going to be referencing several scriptures from Matthew chapter 24 and for context I want you to notice the initial question that his disciples asked him if you go back to verse three it says later Jesus sat on the Mount of Olives his disciples came to him privately and said hey Jesus tell us when we will will see all of this happen or tell us when will all this happen
what sign will signal your return and the end of the world so basically Jesus disciples were interested in the same thing that many people are interested in today right they want to know Jesus what are some things that are going on that we can look at what are some things that we should pay attention to as we anticipate your return so I want you to understand that everything that follows from this question in Matthew chapter 24 is talking about signs that people need to look out for and pay close attention to that will signal Jesus
second coming now with that context out of the way let's look at Matthew 24: 4 and 5 Jesus told them don't let anyone mislead you for many will come in my name claiming I am the Messiah they will deceive many and then just a few verses later Jesus says this in Matthew 24:11 and many false prophets will appear and will deceive many people now this prophecy is very significant because it points to the spiritual state of the world before Jesus Christ returns and it shows my brothers and sisters just how spiritually gullible the world is
going to be when people can go around claiming that they are the Messiah claiming that they are the Savior claiming that they have um extra biblical Knowledge from God that they're able to uh uh uh uh tell the future and and they hear special messages from God that only God gives them and yet people are gullible enough to believe these people and because of Prophecy number four the the one that we had discussed previously where there is an increase in knowledge and Technology this deception this false prophecy these false teachings these false Christ these false
Messiahs it has been made made even more possible for anyone with a computer or a smartphone to reach and deceive millions of people with the click of a button because we are seeing an unprecedented rise of people claiming Spiritual Authority and you know who I'm talking about people who say I heard from the Lord God gave me a vision God gave me a word God gave me a word for you people who claim to have a word from God but they ain't heard nothing from God right but Jesus predicted this and said this is going
to be something that you need to pay attention to yes false prophets and false prophecies have always been in our world and since Christ uh his first coming but Jesus said it's going to be ramped up exponentially as you anticipate my second coming and once again with the Advent of technology and everybody being able to have access to a YouTube channel or they can go live on social media or they can write a blog and they can deceive millions of people with false teaching and false prophecies but even Paul prophesied this when he said this
Paul said in second Corinthians 11:1 13-15 these people are false Apostles you know what I'm talking about people who claim to be Apostles but you know they're not Apostles because I got a whole another video it talks about no such thing as an apostle today there is no such thing as an apostle today you can quote me on that you can tweet that all right right Paul says they are deceitful workers who disguise themselves as Apostles of Christ they disguise themselves as Apostles of Christ but I am not surprised even Satan Paul is comparing these
false Apostles and their activity to the activity of Satan even Satan disguises himself as an angel of Light so it is no wonder that his his servants notice these people who are out there claiming to be an apostle of Christ and deceiving people with false prophecies the Bible describes them as being Servants of Satan also disguise themselves of Servants of righteous see they come off as if they're serving Christ a servant of righteousness but they're actually being used as a tool of the devil to deceive many and the Bible continues to say say in the
end they will get the punishment their wicked Deeds deserve you see my brothers and sisters most of the deception that Christians are experiencing today is happening from right within the church by people who claim to be Apostles and now listen while they may not call themselves The Messiah like Jesus said false messiah's false Christ they are doing things that would make them appear as if are presenting themselves as if they are a form of Christ a form of the Messiah let's look at what they're doing they claim to possess extra biblical Revelation just like Jesus
did right Jesus said hey I know you heard this but but but I've come to tell you that this is what this is what it really meant they claim they can do signs Miracles and wonders just like Jesus did are you starting to see the pattern you see Jesus said in Matthew 24:24 for false Messiahs and false prophets will rise up and perform great signs and wonders so as to deceive if possible even God's chosen ones look at that wow Jesus literally made it so simple he says people are going to rise up and they
are going to be claiming to do signs Miracles and wonders and people are going to be deceived by this many of God's chosen ones are going to be deceived it doesn't me say you're going to lose your salvation just says you're going to be deceived because you're following after these signs Miracles and wonders and these are false christs what else did Jesus come to do Jesus said hey if you follow me you you can experience true Freedom you can be experience True Deliverance what do we see from many people in the uh well I'm not
even going to go there all right but but in certain camps they they send the message and try to deceive people into think that if you want True Deliverance you need to come to them you need to come to to me you need to you need to get on my Go YouTube live you need to get go come to my conference you need to come to my Deliverance conference so so if you want True Deliverance we can provide it for you through our ministry just like Jesus did you see what I'm saying see false Messiahs
and and Jesus said this was going to increase before he returned again and now let's move on to prophecy number two that points to the second coming of Christ and this is none other than the gospel will be preached to All Nations now this is one that we should be more excited about because it's one of the more hopeful prophecies because this is happening right now before our eyes and I'm so excited about this one look Jesus said in Matthew 24:14 and the good news about the kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world so
that all Nation will hear it and then the end will come now my friends this tells us something crucial it says that the global spread of the Gospel is not just some Mission it's not just something that many groups out there are doing because it's a good thing no when you see the spread of the gospel and Christianity spreading to Nations around the world this is a fulfillment of Prophecy it's prophecy being fulfilled now now let's talk about how this prophecy is being fulfilled today I want you to think about this in Jesus time there
wasn't any internet there was no television no airplanes there was literally no way to spread the gospel Beyond just Word of Mouth people spreading the gospel telling people about Christ yet Jesus declared that his message would reach every corner of the world and today this is happening in ways that were unimaginable just a few decades ago technology has changed everything through the internet through satellite TV and social media the gospel praise the Lord can be broadcast to millions of people at any given moment online sermons Christian podcasts and digital bibles are accessible even in countries
where physical churches are scarce or banned for instance take the uver Bible app for example this app alone has brought the Bible into the hands of millions across the globe in hundreds of languages or consider organizations like Whitecliff Bible translators who have been working tirelessly to translate the Bible into every known language and their efforts mean that more people than ever today are hearing the gospel in their own tongue we're also seeing unprecedented Evangelistic efforts in places where traditional missionaries can't go digital Ministries are reaching into countries that are closed to in-person evangelism which is
a fulfillment of Jesus prophecy and ways that would have not been possible just a generation ago just look at my channel look at all the different Christian YouTube channels right we may not be able to physically go to these countries and share the gospel but if they can access the internet they can be able to get the truth of God's word online you see even in areas where the gospel was one once unwelcome or forbidden we're witnessing breakthroughs countries in the Middle East and Asia where being a Christian can be extremely dangerous and we're seeing
movements of Faith thanks to online evangelism and underground churches and so the exciting thing my brothers and sisters is that this prophecy is literally being fulfilled right before our very eyes and what's exciting is that you and I have the opportunity to join in and be a part of it right now now with that out of the way let's move on to prophecy number one but remember I told you that I got a Bonus prophecy that you don't want to miss after this one so I want you to stay tuned prophecy number one that points
to the second coming of Christ or at least one day will point to the second coming of Christ is the rebuilding of a third Temple now to understand this prophecy it's important for to go back in time for just a bit you see the first temple was built by King Solomon but that Temple was destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 BC now the second temple was rebuilt by all of those people who had returned from the 70 years of captivity back to the land and they rebuilt that Temple around 56 BC which is 70 years
later which is another fulfillment of Prophecy but that second temple was later expanded by King Herod during Jesus time only to be destroyed by the Romans in 70 AD so that's two temples now since then there has been no temple on the Temple Mount but what's interesting is the Bible tells us that a third Temple has to be built before the return of Christ you see 2 Thessalonians 2:4 it says he speaking of the Antichrist one day will exalt himself and defy everything that people call God and every object of worship he will even sit
in the temple of God claiming that he himself is God this verse is talking about the Antichrist who will appear in the end times and the Bible says he is going to totally desecrate and disrespect the temple of God well listen how is the Antichrist going to disrespect God's Temple if there's not a third Temple that is built you see how can he reinstate the ability for sacrifices to be offered at the temple if there's no Temple that's built you see Daniel 9:27 it says that the ruler speaking of the Antichrist he is going to
make a treaty and I don't have time to get into all the details here I've got other videos about this but he's going to make a treaty with the people for a period of one set of seven so the Antichrist is basically going to come on the scene he's going to make it seem like he is there to establish peace he's going to set a peace treaty and he's apparently according to the scriptures he's going to allow the Jewish people to resume their sacrifices again at the temple and they're going to be like oh man
this is great we're going to buy into this but then the Bible says this at the middle of the seven he is going to put an end to the sacrifices and offerings and this is suggesting that that Temple rituals will be reinstated something that hasn't been possible for nearly 2,000 years now here's the fascinating part even though currently right now at the time of recording this video there is not a third temple in Israel at least under Jewish control preparations for a third Temple are already underway groups like The Temple Institute in jerus J M
have been working for years to create the sacred vessels the garments and the blueprints necessary for the Temple's construction and they're not just planning it they're literally ready to unveil this and to uh essentially uh whenever the the temple is built they will be ready they've recreated everything everything from the gold manora to the Priestly garments based on biblical specifications and look they're even training modern-day priests from the tribe of Levi to perform the temple sacrifices and rituals listen these are real tangible steps that are being taken right now towards fulfilling this prophecy now I
told you that I had a bonus prophecy in store for you and my brothers and sisters I want you to pay close attention to to this because this is extremely important as it relates to where we are today so I want you to pay close attention the bonus prophecy that points to to the second coming of Christ is what I'll call the worldwide persecution of Christians now while we may not always hear about it this is a prophecy that's being fulfilled sadly right now across the globe in both life-threatening and in more subtle ways but
just like all these other prophecies Jesus warned us about this in Matthew 24:9 where he says then you will be arrested persecuted and killed you will be hated isn't that what's going on today in the world Christians are hated for what we stand for and who we represent all over the world because you are my followers now let's just start with the the life-threatening examples that are going on right now so in places like for instance North Korea or Afghanistan or Somalia literally being a Christian can cost you your life Christians in these countries are
facing imprisonment torture and even execution for their faith for example um let's say North Korea for instance it's estimated that tens of thousands of Christians are imprisoned in labor camps did you get that tens of thousands of Christians are being imprisoned in labor camps where they are enduring brutal conditions simply owning a Bible can be a death sentence in places like Nigeria extreme IST groups like Boo Haram and fani militants Target Christian Villages resulting in the death of thousands of Christians and the displacement of entire communities these are these are real things that are going
on in the world and Jesus said when you see these things happening at an increasing rate my return is near let me give you some practical examples of lifethreatening persecution for instance Church attack in countries like Pakistan and Egypt churches have been bombed during Services leading to the tragic loss of innocent lives kidnappings and forced conversions people being forced to convert to a religion that goes against their faith in parts of India and Sudan women and particularly young girls are kidnapped and forced to convert to other religions under the threat of violence but look persecution
isn't just always life-threatening there's ways that we as Christians are being persecuted right now that may not be life-threatening for instance in Western countries like here in the United States Christians may not face physical harm but there is increasing social political hello huh hello and cultural pressure that opposes Christian beliefs for example in parts of Europe and North America Christian business owners have faced lawsuits for upholding their biblical beliefs in their business practices think about Bakers florists or photographers who have been taken to court for declining to participate in events like same-sex weddings I'm not
even going to call him a wedding I'm going call a save samesex civil union due to their convictions but it goes deeper what about censorship and discrimination social media platforms and certain workplaces sometimes censor or restrict CHR Chris content hello we see this going on all the time labeling it as hate speech so if you take a stand for Christ it's it's considered hate speech and we're going to we're going to censor it because we don't want to hear what you have to say we don't want to hear who you're representing because it doesn't align
with mainstream cultural views what about legislative challenges in some places there are laws that are being passed that make it more difficult for Christians to express their beliefs publicly or share the gospel for instance hate speech laws in various countries have been used to criminalize the public reading or preaching of certain biblical passages what about academic and workplace pressure students and employees May face discrimination for their beliefs in schools and universities students who Express Christian views might be penalized or ostracized for standing up for biblical principles now listen don't get me wrong facing these challenges
doesn't compare in any way to what our brothers and sisters in other persecuted countries are going through but the point is that all of these things that I just discussed it's all part of the same prophetic Trend that Jesus warned us about and it's all part of the world's opposition to the message of Christ but here is the good news regardless of what the devil tries to do to to oppose and to stand against and to silence Christians and to attack the church even though that's happening right now just as Jesus said it would but
let me leave you with this my brothers let me leave you with this despite the persecution the church is still growing the gospel is still being preached and God's word is still being fulfilled because Jesus said in Matthew 16 I will build my church and all the powers of Hell will not conquer it so as we in clude this video why is any of this important to us as Christians well it's because these prophecies remind us that God's word is true we can trust it and his plans are unfolding literally right before our eyes they're
not just some ancient prediction no no no there are signs that show us that we are living in very significant times and understanding these prophecies helps us to take necessary action for us to stay spiritually awake spiritually alert helps to strengthen our faith and it motivates us to be vigilant about sharing the hope of Christ with others because Jesus said in Matthew 24 so you too must keep watch for you don't know what day your lord is coming these prophecies that I talked about in this video will call us to live with urgency deepen our
commitment to God and stay rooted in his truth as we eagerly wait for his return so if you enjoyed this video and you want me to do more of these type of Bible prophecy videos let me know in the comment section below also let me know which one of these six prophecies was your favorite one that I talked about let me know in the comment section below hey I'll see you in the next video stay vigilant stay alert bye for now [Music]
