A lot of Christians have been mentioning about the Rapture, which is an event wherein Jesus Christ comes back and takes back all his followers. This event is also known as the Second Coming and happens to also be the time wherein Jesus will take back earth from the devil and finally defeat him in one last fight. According to Biblical doctrines, here are the signs of this event.
Now, the doctrines would state that there are four main, pivotal signs that would predict the timing of the end of the world. Obviously, the first one would be the presence of four horsemen and the coming of the tribulations, throwing the earth into utter chaos. One would know these four horsemen as war, famine, pestilence, and death.
With this, one may actually interpret this as the coming of a World War III which will now be a nuclear war that can devastate an entire country worse than the atomic bombs did to Japan in World War II. This would then be followed by famine, pestilence, and finally death wherein no human would be spared from what was to come. With all the calamities, it is not hard to see that it is possible that the Rapture is soon to come.
Another pivotal sign would be the return of Elijah. Jesus Christ stated that the return of Elijah to restore Christianity is one of the main signs to look out for before the return of Christ. Many Christians believe that Elijah has already returned in the form of Herbert W Armstrong as the broadcaster of a Christian radio station.
A strong sign would also be when Christianity would spread among people of the world. Well, considering that Christianity is over a thousand years old and an extremely big religion worldwide, one can argue that this sign has been fulfilled. It is a matter of time before the Rapture would begin if that was the case.
Of course, the message in the Bible to men was for the apostles and the whole world to reach out and spread the gospel. Over the years, the gospel has been spread worldwide wherein so many people have been converted. Now, one tricky thing here is that the prediction of false prophets has also been mentioned which is also happening right now.
Lastly, there is the sign that an extremely evil man will take control of this world and unify all currencies under one. This man will be known as the antichrist and will be opposing Christianity. Now, there are actually so many people who may fit this description so it may be a hard to pinpoint who exactly this evil leader is.
Because of this evil person, many people will fall out of Christianity and eventually reject the teachings of Christ. The antichrist will lead the big fall out which will eventually result in many not believing in God and the teachings of Christ. All these signs mentioned above pinpoint to the end of times which would also signal the rapture and defeat of Satan at the hands of God, liberating the followers.
