Descent Into Chaos

October 25, 2011 by

You open up the Drudge Report and it’s like the world is descending into chaos. And it is. Whole nations can’t pay their bills. (So the Vatican trumpets the need for a world governing financial body ~ or has it?). Middle East dictators are overthrown and replaced by even crazier radicals. (How else does Satan try to take out Israel?) States (like California) are forcing teachers to offer transgender studies in schools. (Our kids can’t even read and write. Shouldn’t we focus on that?)

The Bible predicts these conditions (financial collapse, one world government, unbridled immorality) just prior to the return of Christ. Could it be He’s at the very door?

Here are 10 more characteristics of a world descending into chaos (plus 1 bonus):

1. Gospel preached (Matthew 24:14)
2. Technology advancement (Daniel 12:4)
3. Distressful times (Daniel 12:1)
4. Spiritual deception (Matthew 24:5)
5. Sleeping church (Matthew 25:1-13)
6. Compromised faith (Luke 18:8)
7. Love gone cold (Matthew 24:12)
8. Christian persecution (Matthew 24:9b)
9. Religious martyrdom (Matthew 24:9a)
10. Spin zone (1 Thessalonians 5:3)

BONUS: Ruler arises (Daniel 8:23-25)

“But the one who endures to the end, he will be saved.” (Matthew 24:13)
