One of the major events in the Christian doctrine that many followers are looking out for is known as the Rapture which is mentioned in the book of Revelations. The Rapture is also known as the Second Coming and is the event in which Jesus returns to earth to get all his followers and finally defeat the devil. Of course, one would wonder what the signs are of this event.
Now, the doctrines would state that there are four main, pivotal signs that would predict the timing of the end of the world. Obviously, the first one would be the presence of four horsemen and the coming of the tribulations, throwing the earth into utter chaos. One would know these four horsemen as war, famine, pestilence, and death.
Now, one would argue that World War II was the worst war that the earth has experienced and that there is definitely no more chance that it could happen again. Well, if one would watch news, he or she would see that humans have now made a weapon even worse than the atomic bombs which is the nuclear bomb. A drop of nuclear bomb could result in the spreading of chemical induced illnesses, the destruction of the earth leading to food shortage, and then human extinction.
Another sign would be the return of Elijah wherein he would restore the natural order of all things. This was a direct prophecy from Jesus Christ himself, so many Christians actually see this sign as one of the biggest signs of the Return. In fact, many regard Herbert W Armstrong as the Elijah that was mentioned by Christ for the end times.
A strong sign would also be when Christianity would spread among people of the world. Well, considering that Christianity is over a thousand years old and an extremely big religion worldwide, one can argue that this sign has been fulfilled. It is a matter of time before the Rapture would begin if that was the case.
Aside from being probably the biggest religion in the Western world, it is also one of the oldest being over two thousand years old. The missionaries have been spreading the Word for decades converting a lot of people which is why Christians believe that this sign is fulfilled. However, as part of that sign, the prophecy of a false prophet emerging was also stated so it is important to take note of fake doctrines spreading as well.
Finally, there is the prediction of a very evil person who will try to unify the world under his or her influence. This is actually the Antichrist and is the tool of Satan to finally take control of the world. While there are many who may potentially be the Antichrist, doctrines state that he or she is already here and already climbing.
That said, there has been a huge falling out of Christianity wherein many people already reject the doctrines of Christ. This is because of teachings of this antichrist that has lead to a fallout. All of these signs are signs that the end is near and the people of God have to start preparing for the final return.
