Birds falling from the sky have brought new discussions about the end of the world. Thousands have died around the world and have caused the creation of the new word: Aflockaylipse. Scientists are trying to explain this phenomenon and people are quoting scripture concerning birds and other animals.
Ezekiel 38:20—The fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the beasts of the field, every creature that moves along the ground, and all the people on the face of the earth will tremble at my presence. The mountains will be overturned, the cliffs will crumble and every wall will fall to the ground. Hosea 4—Hear the word of the LORD, you Israelites, because the LORD has a charge to bring against you who live in the land: “There is no faithfulness, no love, no acknowledgment of God in the land. There is only cursing, lying and murder, stealing and adultery; they break all bounds, and bloodshed follows bloodshed. Because of this the land dries up, and all who live in it waste away; the beasts of the field, the birds in the sky and the fish in the sea are swept away …”
Zephaniah 1:3—”I will sweep away both men and animals; I will sweep away the birds of the air and the fish of the sea. The wicked will have only heaps of rubble when I cut off man from the face of the earth,” declares the LORD.
Scary stuff, but is this the sign of Jesus’ return? I admit that I have never heard of such a thing, but according to Jesus himself, we have a sign that will leave no doubt for Christians.
Matthew 24:15 (NIV)
“So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination that causes desolation,’ spoken of through the prophet Daniel–let the reader understand–
What did Daniel say?
Daniel 9:27 (NIV)
He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven.’ In the middle of the ‘seven’ he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on a wing [of the temple] he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him”.
Daniel 11:31 (NIV)
“His armed forces will rise up to desecrate the temple fortress and will abolish the daily sacrifice. Then they will set up the abomination that causes desolation.
Daniel 12:11 (NIV)
“From the time that the daily sacrifice is abolished and the abomination that causes desolation is set up, there will be 1,290
days.
Jesus taught that the anti-Christ would put an end to sacrifices in the temple, and he would desecrate the temple, after which there would be 1290 until the end, and the second coming. If you read Revelation, chapter six, you will find that the abomination happens 3 1/2 years after the tribulation begins. So, we have to wait a while longer before Jesus comes again to establish His kingdom on earth. Until the temple is built in Jerusalem, Jesus will not return. However, much can happen until then, and it is imperative that we call upon the Lord and be saved today.
good story I love jesus
