The End Times & Israel: What does the Bible say about what’s happening in our world?

Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - Matthew 24:3 & 32-36; 25:13; Hebrews 11:9; Genesis 12:1-3; 17:6-8; Isaiah 9:6-7; 11:11-12; 66:8; John 4:22; 13:3; Romans 9:4-5; Revelation 5:4-5; 16:1; 20:12 & 15; Mark 13:2 & 37; Deuteronomy 28:63-66; 30:3; Ezekiel 34:11-13; 37:21; Amos 9:15; Zechariah 12:2-3; Psalms 121:4-5; Joel 2:31-32; 3:1-2; 2 Peter 3:9

 

Is this the end? The Bible has warned us that Jesus will return, but we don't know when. The Bible has given us some pretty clear signs of when He will return. We also know that Israel plays a big part in God's plan.

So the question that we are all asking, "Is what is happening in Israel a sign that we are nearing the end?"
