Devout Christians worldwide are waiting for the day of Jesus Christ’s triumphant return. Before his crucifixion, Jesus told His disciples He would return one day, although “about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” Prophecies penned in the Holy Bible speak of terrible disasters, conflict and natural cataclysms that will precede the Second Coming.

In Matthew 24, Christ Himself warned of wars and rumours of wars, nation rising against nation, and famines and earthquakes across the lands.

Jesus described these terrifying events as the “beginning of birth pains” that will precede the end of the world as we know it.

Niche groups of Christians believe some of these events are already unfolding today.

After the coronavirus pandemic broke out in late 2019, many saw it as a sign of disease and pestilence foretold by the New Testament’s Book of Revelation.

Others have astonishingly claimed coronavirus is only the tip of the iceberg, and much greater calamities will befall the Earth in the End Days.

The authors of a Christian conspiracy blog have now claimed the signs of the Second Coming are converging quickly.

According to a recent post on Bible Prophecy – Signposts of the Times, the world is straying away from God’s intended purpose.

The blog’s authors, Duane and Shelley Muir of Williams Lake, Canada, accused the world of a societal breakdown, claiming drug legalisation in some parts of the world and Christian persecution in others are prophetic in nature.

They wrote: “A time is soon coming when God will end the madness and judge the nations for attempting to create a society and world without God in it.”

The blog then cited passages from scripture, including Revelation 11, which speaks of God’s wrath upon the Earth.

The passage reads: “The nations were filled with wrath, but now the time of your wrath has come.

“It is time to judge the dead and reward your servants the prophets, as well as your holy people, and all who fear your name, from the least to the greatest.

“It is time to destroy all who have caused destruction on the earth.”

Another cited passage from Acts 3 reads: “Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord, and that he may send the Messiah, who has been appointed for you-even Jesus.

“Heaven must receive him until the time comes for God to restore everything, as he promised long ago through his holy prophets.”

The blog’s authors said: “That day is coming soon. The signs are converging quickly.

“The return of Jesus Christ is fast approaching. Are you ready?”

Outside of strict interpretations of scripture, there is no real guarantee these prophecies are unfolding or will ever unfold.

Many Christians believe attempts to try and predict the day of Christ’s return are futile.

Stephen Witmer, pastor of the Pepperell Christian Fellowship in Pepperell, Massachusetts, for instance, believes such efforts do not mesh well with the true message of Christ’s promise.

He said: “When our waiting for Jesus is founded on God’s promise, we draw our confidence from the dependability of the one who has made the promise.”
