Questions and Answers

#1 When Will the World End?
"But of that day and hour knoweth no [man], no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only." Matthew 24:36

While we do not know the exact day or hour of Christ's second coming and the End of the World, we are expected to know when it is near. The Bible says that we are in darkness if we don't understand these things. "But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief." Read "The Day and Hour Knoweth no Man"

#2 What Will the World be Like Before Jesus Comes?
"...as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed [them] all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed." Luke 17:28-30

Is there is anything wrong with eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting or building? No, these are all needful life activities. However, these activities become sinful when they are taken to excess and absorb our attention so that we don't heed God's instructions and warnings.

"And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and [so] that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth." Luke 21:34-35

These verses should be soberly considered. Jesus, is basically saying that just prior to His return, life for the most part will be going on as usual. As a result, most of the world will be so caught up in everyday life that His final warning messages will be unheeded. The vast majority of the world will be suprised by the suddeness of the closing events.

Back in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah God sent angels to give instructions that if heeded would have saved Lot's family. We can learn much from these warnings, view the article "Lessons from Sodom and Gomorrah."

#3 What Will Happen When the World Ends?
The Bible says that the End of the world coincides with the second coming of Jesus. In several places the Bible describes what will happen to the earth, here are a few things that will happen:

• There will be a LOUD noise as of a trumpet
• Fire will destroy structures, homes, and forests
• Virtually everything will be burned up, even the "elements" will be melted.
• There will be a tremendous earthquake
• The earth will reel too and fro
• Jesus will return to the Earth with all of His angels
• The righteous will be taken to heaven
• The unrepentant sinners will be destroyed
• The righteous who died previous to the second coming will be raised from the dead, they will then be transported into the air to meet Jesus and go back to heaven with the righteous who were alive at the time of Jesus' second coming. View some of the Bible verses that answer this question.

#4 What are the Seven Last Plagues?
Information about the seven last plagues which occur at the end of the world can be primarily found in the book of Revelation chapter 16. These plagues will be poured out up those worship the beast and his image, and those who receive the mark of the beast in their forehead or hand. The plagues are as follows:

1. Terribly painful sores (the Bible says noisome and grievous sores)
2. Ocean becomes as blood
3. Rivers and fountains become as blood
4. Sun scorches earth with intense heat
5. Darkness on the beast's place and kingdom (intensly painful)
6. River Euphrates dries up
7. Great Earthquake, thunder and lightning, cities fall, mountains collapse, islands go away, great hailstorm.

Dear friend, God does not intend for anyone to receive of these plagues, they are only for those who harden their hearts in disobedience, become decieved by the devil, and end up taking the mark of the beast.

Friends, today is the the day to return to God, repent of our sins, and start our lives going in a new direction. God will give you power to do right if you ask Him. He will not allow you to be overwhelmed by the temptaions of the enemy. Here is a promise for you.

"There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it." 1 Corinthians 10:13

#5 Many generations have come and gone who have thought that the end was coming and it hasn't come yet, why does God allow this and all the suffering that is still going on in this world?

"The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." 2 Peter 3:9

The Lord waits because He wants all men to repent of their sins, one person saved for all eternity is an immeasurable treasure. Jesus paid the price for every person, and He is giving every opportunity possible to each person to choose life. He wants people to ask Him to forgive their sins and recieve His grace and power into their lives.

But the Bible says that eventually He will not wait any longer and the final events of Bible Prophecy will take place rapidly and He will say:

"He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still."

"And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward [is] with me, to give every man according as his work shall be." Revelation 22:11-12
