The future prophecies of what is about to happen, the destiny of human souls, and the end of the entire created order are made known to us in both the Old and New Testaments of the Holy Bible. Fulfilled biblical prophecies of the past give us a glimpse into the bleak future. History and contemporary occurrences are testaments to the unfailing precision of Bible prophecies over time.
Generally, the Bible has many references pointing to the end times, but only God knows the time specificity of when these foreboding events will roll out. It only serves as a warning to all inhabitants of the earth that the end is imminent. We need to prepare to meet the Lord to avoid inescapable dangers associated with the end times as espoused by eschatology, which has drawn much attention in the Christian faith because God loves to reveal His plans to His prophets beforehand.
In our generation and civilization, God’s prophetic clock is ticking with accurate timelines to set the stage for the apocalyptic panoramic events that will characterize the end time events as to the milestones of human existence and its cataclysmic dimensions.
Opinions may vary, theologies may conflict, and schools of thought may differ relatively even as radio-carbon dating falls into the error of anachronism, but the Scripture has proved to be inerrant, reliable, and a fail-safe about eschatology and the vicissitudes of life. Armed with this binocular of God’s divine calendar, author Akinbowale Adewumi systematically chronicles the enigmatic events of the immediate and distant future through the last days to the end of time with convincing clarity in this book. Summarily, he attempts to help readers strategically place themselves in a vantage position in the race of life and eternity.
Unequivocally, Jesus gave hints on deceivers and false Christs, the noise of wars, nation rising against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, intense persecution of brethren, climatic changes, earthquakes in diverse places, environmental hazards, famines and troubles, pestilences, love of God waxing cold in many believers, lawlessness, injustice, the trial of faith, tribulation, hatred, maliciousness, betrayal, untold suffering, an abomination of desolation, the emergence of a recessive world economy, carelessness and the need for all to watch.
Obviously, almost all events across the world, no doubt, have continued to confirm that the world is running its full course to drop its worn-out garment of the rebellious act, unrighteousness, disobedience, and sin against God. Hence, nobody can claim ignorance of the recent happening across the globe, all confirming earlier predictions and prophecies from the prophets that the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ is at hand.
The Bible lifts the curtains and gives us a picture of some of the fearful events that will happen after the saints of God have been raptured, caught up, or taken home to be with the Lord actually. Although many church assemblies or religious circles may give different interpretations to events of the end times, the fact remains that no true believer should go through the agony of events in the end time.
The gory experiences, untold sufferings, and fierce judgments are better imagined. The reign of the antichrist will reach its height at this time, and he will mobilize the world to fight against our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and the saints. Nevertheless, God, in His infinite power, will pour out His fierce judgment upon the people on the face of the earth during that time. There will be no hidden place for sinners, backsliders, religious infidels, proselytes, atheists, and all who reject the gospel of salvation that the Lord brought for all men.
The suffering and anguish will be too much to the point that men will still blaspheme God rather than repent. It would be too late to repent at this time because the Holy Ghost that could bring conviction upon people would have been withdrawn.
