Revelation: Matthew 24

Matthew Chapter 24 Signs of Christ’s Coming / End of The Age

1. Don’t be DECEIVED!

MANY false messiahs shall come,

and shall deceive MANY!

2. WAR!

CONFLICT

and rumors of CONFLICT

between nations and kingdoms.

3. Natural Disasters

Famines,

Pestilences,

Earthquakes

...in diverse locations.

4. Persecution

"The World Evangelical Alliance wrote in a report to the UN Human Rights Commission...that Christians are ‘the largest single group in the world which is being denied human rights on the basis of their faith’." -- Anthony Browne (former European Correspondent for The Times)

5. Scandal in The Church

BetrayalHatred

False ProphetsDeception

Iniquity (Lawlessness)...…A LOVELESS

CHURCH!

ENDURANCE...

...BRINGS SALVATION!

6. The END Comes When:

“...this Gospel of The Kingdom shall be preached in ALL the world for a Witness unto ALL nations…” -- The Lord Jesus Christ

So...HOW CLOSE are we to spreading The Gospel to the WHOLE WORLD?

Christian Missions Strategist Luis Bush coined the term “10/40 Window” to describe this area:

Of the 55 LEAST-EVANGELIZED countries...

...97% of their population lives within the Ten-Forty Window

TWO-THIRDS of the world's population -- more than 4.4 BILLION PEOPLE -- ...live in the 10/40 Window.

90% of the 4.4 billion people living in the 10/40 Window are UNEVANGELIZED.Many have never heard The Gospel Message even ONCE.Conclusion: We’re not even HALF-WAY to evangelizing the world!

Foursquare is Engaged in Missions!

...but only 10% of available missionaries in ANY denomination are assigned to the 10/40 window!

7. The END:1. The Abomination that brings Desolation in the Holy

Place.2. The Flight of God’s People (time to run)!3. The Greatest Tribulation since Creation4. Human Extinction prevented by the shortening of days.5. More false christs & prophets performing signs and

wonders!6. Astronomical collapse (Sun, Moon, Stars, Powers of the

Heavens)!7. THE SIGN OF THE SON OF ADAM!8. The Sound of The Trumpet of God!9. The Dispatch of The Holy Angels!10.The Gathering of the Elect -- HOME AT LAST!!!
