A quick lesson about Jesus' second coming (eschatology)

There was a time when many people were troubled that perhaps the COVID 19 vaccine was the "mark of the beast" and that the end was soon here. I used to laugh and then cry at the same time ...

Laugh because those who know their scriptures know the proper order of things ...

Cry because so many followers of Jesus continue to "die" for lack of ignorance - because they haven't known the scriptures.

I therefore praise Jesus because in the very first year that I got saved he spoke to me very clearly and told me that I must know about the study of end times (eschatology) and I bless him for he taught me well! I pray you too will read the Bible for yourself so that no one will deceive you, not even a purported angel or prophet!

The scriptures give this simple example of how the end will come:

"Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, that ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. "2 Thessalonians 2:1-4 KJV

This scripture give you a simple guide post or ORDER of how the end will come, so keep your eyes open:

1. First there will be a great falling away or an apostasy. This is where people will stop believing in Jesus en masse...
2. ⁠In that environment of lack of belief, next the antichrist, the son of perdition, the beast, 666 and so on will come and he will say that he is God. Do not therefore believe the "foolishness" you hear where someone for example says: The Pope is the Anti-Christ or Obama is the Antichrist, Kamala or Trump or so and so is the Antichrist. This person must first come during the apostasy and second, they MUST say they are God. If someone does not say this; they cannot be the Antichrist - the scripture is clear so do not look for people "hiding" - this person will make himself clear - HE will not be a wolf in sheep clothing ... NO he will be a WOLF in WOLF skin!
3. The day of the Lord or the return of Christ will only happen after this... After the falling away and then the man of perdition comes - so remember he will come like a thief in the night meaning we don't know the exact day but he doesn't want us foolish, we should know the approximate season, just like you can tell it's morning or evening but you can't tell the exact hour the guest or thief will come...

So let no one deceive you... .

Keep reading your Bible and keep faithful and keep asking the Lord to help you.

Blessings and love.
