Jesus Explains the End of the World--What's Next for Planet Earth: Christ's Promises & Prophecies of Matthew 24

by John S. Barnett

Jesus tells us that Matthew 24 contains many specific events that would signal the end of days. He said life on planet earth as it has been for the past several thousand years would end. Each of the prophetic signs Christ and His apostles gave were specific and not vague. Jesus explained that these events would begin at the same time, run concurrently, and crescendo like the pains of a woman giving birth, the closer we get to His second coming. The list of Biblical Signs of Christ's Return will not actually be full blown until the Tribulation time. Each of the signs of Christ's Return He said - are trends. These trends are speeding up, the last seconds of the countdown clock of Christ's return are clicking down. Each day the prophetic picture Christ painted grows clearer. Each of these signs were captured by the apostles and prophets between 2,000 and 3,500 years ago. Now they are happening in our lifetime! But, in all of history ONLY our generation has seen EVERY ONE of these events starting to unfold. This study is an in-depth look at the precise, clear, specific predictions that Christ's Words in this Book give us. You may be startled. Every one of the signs Christ gave are present in your world today. You are the first generation in all of history to experience these trends, these signs - all at once!

Since then, this ministry has grown to serve saints in all 50 states and over 145 lands around the world, as well as through daily radio on a growing number of radio stations in the USA, Europe and the Caribbean.
