Antichrist | The Signs of the Times with Rev. Willem J.J. Glashouwer #32

In His Sermon on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem about the last things, Jesus speaks about the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple. When the disciples ask when that will happen and what the ‘sign’ will be of the end of the age, He starts off by first warning them about spiritual deceptions: false messiahs and false prophets. Only after this He mentions wars, earthquakes and famines as the beginning of birth pains. The Jewish historian Flavius Josephus reports on whole series of ‘messiahs’. It was an apocalyptic time. In the years previous to the fall of Jerusalem in 7 AD, it seemed like the end times had arrived.
