Many People have Questions about the End Times with an arrangement of celestial bodies that will occur this year (2017) on September 23.  On that date, according to various sources, the heavens themselves might fulfill Revelation 12:

A great sign appeared in the sky, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.  She was with child and wailed aloud in pain as she labored to give birth.…  She gave birth to a son, a male child, destined to rule all the nations with an iron rod.

On September 23, 2017 the sun will be in the zodiac constellation Virgo—“a woman clothed with the sun”.  The moon will be at the feet of Virgo—“with the moon under her feet”.  The ‘nine’ stars of the zodiac constellation Leo, plus three planets (Mercury, Venus, and Mars), will be at the head of Virgo—“on her head a crown of twelve stars”.  The planet Jupiter will be in the center of Virgo, and as the weeks pass after September 23 Jupiter will exit Virgo to the east, past her feet, so to speak—“She was with child and wailed aloud in pain as she labored to give birth”.  Jupiter is the largest of the planets, the “king” of the planets, so to speak—“She gave birth to a son, a male child, destined to rule all the nations with an iron rod”.  Must this not be a sign of something momentous, like the some sources say?

What is the underlying concern?

Most often when people think about the last days, and see what is happening in our world today, they reflect and think how they :

Are hearing of wars and rumors of wars. But Christ says: "See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭24:6-13‬ ‬

FIRST the Gospel of the Kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.-Matthew ‭24:14‬

No matter what the time is Jesus tells us to live in constant expectation of his return.

When Jesus returns you will know it.

Just As Jesus ascended into heaven, being taken up, and a cloud received Him, while those Assembled together look steadily toward heaven as He went up, Jesus will soon come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven." (Acts 1:9-11)

The difference is that when He returns,
“For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.”
‭‭I Thessalonians‬ ‭4:16‬ ‬

God has not appointed you to incur His wrath. He did not select you to condemn you, but you obtain His Salvation through your Lord Jesus Christ Who died for you, so that whether you are still alive or are dead at Christ's appearing, you will live together with Him and share His life, for All Eternity.

Therefore encourage one another and edify, strengthen and build up one another as I am you. (‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5:1-11)‬ ‬

Most Assuredly, the day of the Lord will come like a thief, (‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭3:10‬) ‬

Is that Day Today?

For many centuries people have viewed almost anything on the international stage is Christ return. I remember during the first Gulf War, some were declaring that Saddam Hussein met the qualifications in the profile for the antichrist. Then we read prior to World War II Adolf Hitler and Mussolini were considered prime suspects, also was Joseph Stalin.

When Napoleon's armies marched through Europe, many thought for sure he was the antichrist. And all through history you have many predicting that date of the world, when God says that only he knows the day and the time.

Also know that the exact day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.”
‭‭(Matthew‬ ‭24:36)‬ ‬

We are in our last days on earth.

There is no doubt that at any moment in time you can see evil in a fallen world.

Looking at the world around you and the things that must must proceed the return of Christ the Messiah to the earth, it certainly appears the stage is being set, and we must be ready.

However, whether it is the last days and the return of Christ. It is your last days.

Whether the Lord's return is tomorrow, next week, next Saturday or 100 years from now, if you're a born-again believer it should not make any difference in the way that you live.

You as a born again believer, when you asked God to forgive you and invited Jesus into your life, you have discovered an intimate friendship with the Creator of the Universe. The Lord of Lords and the King of Kings. Now you don't just know about God. You know Him Personally. And you are known by name to Him.

In your new relationship with Him, God says to you: I will dwell in and with and among you and will walk in and with and among you, and I will be your God, and you shall be My people. [Exo 25:8; 29:45; Lev.26:12; Jer 31:1; Ezek. 37:27.]

I will be a Father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty. [Isa 43:6; Hos 1:10] ‭‭(2 Corinthians‬ ‭6:16-18‬)‬

And because you really are God's child, God has sent the Holy Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, Abba Father! Father!” (Galatians ‭4:6)‬

God is no longer known as Adonia (literally Sir in Hebrew), but now tells you to call Him Abba Father! Father! Call Him Daddy!

So Live in Dependence on God Always! Making the very most of the time [buying up each opportunity], because the days are evil. (Ephesians ‭5:15-16‬)

In conclusion, be strong in the Lord, be empowered through your union with Him; draw your strength from Him that strength which His boundless might provides. (Ephesians ‭6:10)‬
