The End is Near

Jesus told his disciples about the signs of his "second coming." So he predicted that there will be nation against nation and kingdom against kingdom in warfare, famines, earthquakes, epidemics; his disciples will suffer persecution, and some of them will be killed. Furthermore, he predicted that there will be great tribulation, and that the Gospel of the kingdom will be preached all over the world, and then the end will come. At the same time, Jesus warned that only God knows the time and hour when he will come back. Moreover, Jesus told his disciples to note and be aware that the end is near if those events that he predicts continue to happen.

Jesus admonishes his followers to be watchful and be ready at all times because he will come as a thief when people least expect it. He wants his followers to maintain their faith to the end so that they can have eternal life. He said that those who endure to the end will be saved. In light of this, everybody will face judgment-to give an account of what he or she has done, whether good or bad.

The believers will have their names written in the Book of Life and will become citizens of heaven. However, the unbelievers and those who continue to practice sin will suffer a second death and will be thrown into the lake of fire, where they will be tormented forever. Citizens of heaven will be with God and Jesus Christ forever, where there will be no illness, death, sorrow, suffering, curse, etc.
