Other signs are more proximate.
Mark (Chapter 13), Matthew
(Chapter 24), and Luke (Chapter
21) all describe the
unmistakable signs with
apocalyptic images.
2 Timothy 4:1-2
I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus,
who will judge the living and the dead, and by his
appearing
and his kingly power, proclaim the
word ...
2 Timothy 3:1-5
But understand this: there will be terrifying times
in the
last days. People will be self-centered and lovers of
money, proud, haughty, abusive, disobedient to their
parents, ungrateful, irreligious, callous, implacable,
slanderous, licentious, brutal, hating what is good,
traitors, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather
than lovers of God, as they make a pretense of religion
but deny its power. Reject them.
