Spring is the time of year I am pretty much obsessed with signs. You know, the signs that spring is here or real close to making an appearance.

The daylight lasts longer - Sign.

The trees and flowers budding - Sign.

The warmer days here and there - Sign.

The Dairy Queens start opening up - Sign.

The spring training baseball games - Sign.

The college basketball tournaments - Sign.

But for me the ultimate and necessary sure sign that spring will indeed return and is just on the doorstep - the robins! Today (3/6) I saw my first. Other people have already seen them, but until I see one, spring just may not come and winter just may not end! Thank God for robins…and spring…and signs!

The Bible tells us of the signs of the end times. The prophets speak a good deal about the end times. Jesus gives quite a sermon on the last days in the book of Matthew. The book of Revelation spells it out in great detail. In fact there are over 100 chapters in the Bible that have the end times as their main theme. Something tells me God thinks our knowing about the end times is important. What are some of the signs of the end times?

The nation of Israel is reformed after nearly 2000 years - Sign.

The one-world global system is moving full steam ahead - Sign.

The astounding ease of deceivers to deceive the multitudes - Sign.

The moral bankruptcy is accepted as normal like Noah’s day- Sign.

The increasing apostasy in the church decreasing its influence - Sign.

The rapid rise in knowledge and wide proclamation of the Gospel - Sign. 

Signs. If we know the signs of the coming seasons and a myriad of signs concerning other issues in everyday life - we should certainly know the signs of the end times.

Let’s face it, spring is coming whether I see a robin or not and the appointed time of the end is coming as well. You ready?
