End Times: Signs You Can’t Ignore

Paul Urged the Believers to Move From ...
Sinfulness -> Sanctification
Confusion -> Clarity
Passivity -> Readiness

1. Move from sinfulness to sanctification.

· Justification is the moment your sins are forgiven once for all.
· Sanctification is the lifelong process of becoming like Jesus.

1 Thessalonians 4:1, 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5, 1 Thessalonians 4:7 NIV

2. Move from confusion to clarity.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-14 NIV

1 Thessalonians 4:15-18 NIV

A Traditional View of End-Time Events
· The rapture (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17)

harpazō: to rescue, to snatch, to carry away suddenly

· The seven-year tribulation (Revelation 6-18)
· The second coming of Christ (Revelation 19)
· The millennial reign (Revelation 20:1-6)
· The ultimate defeat of Satan (Revelation 20:7-10)
· A new heaven and a new earth (Revelation 21-22)

3. Move from passivity to readiness.

1 Thessalonians 5:1-3 NIV

pax et securitas: peace and safety

1 Thessalonians 5:4-6 NLT

What would I change if I really believed
Jesus could return at any moment?

• Speak Boldly
• Live Purely
