Sermon Recap: The Last Amen, week 2

As we continued our series, The Last Amen, we delved deeper into the topic of the End Times, by examining Biblical prophecies and signs. The Antichrist, a significant leader likely emerging as a rebirth of the Roman Empire, will rise and sign a seven-year covenant, only to break it at the halfway point, leading to chaos (Daniel 9:24-27). The False Prophet will perform miracles, deceiving many and introducing the ‘mark of the beast’ (Revelation 13:1-18). Key signs include the rise of the Antichrist, apostasy, and the rebuilding of the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem (2 Thessalonians 2:1-10). I also emphasized the significance of the Temple Mount, with modern developments suggesting the prophecies’ fulfillment may be near. We encouraged believers to stay vigilant, deepen our faith, and share the Gospel; all while living in anticipation of Christ’s return.

We do not watch the signs of the End Times from a place of anxiety, but rather of anticipation.
