When the Lord Returns by Greg Holmes, D.MIN – Director of Missions serving 17 churches
ALL THREE SYNOPTIC GOSPELS record Jesus’ prophetic statements opening the beginning of end-times events. There will be a sudden unmistakable paroxysm of agony affecting the entire world. He says, “For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again. If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive.” (Matt. 24:21-22) Mark and Matthew both quote Isaiah for the next events: “The sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.” (Isa. 13:10, 34:4; Mark 13:24-25, Matt. 24:29)
