Signs Of The Times

Signs of the apocalypse are a fundamental part of the Christian faith, 
Insomuch that the Bible forewarns of its inevitability. 
God's judgment of Man shall come to pass, and although
No man shall know when that reckoning will come,
Some believe that the end times are upon us now.  

Only God and His Son, Jesus, know when, but there shall be signs;
False prophets will say, "I am the Christ," and deceive many souls.

There will be wars and rumors of wars; nations shall rise against nations; 
Humanity shall suffer chaos, famine, pestilence, and earthquakes, and
Everywhere, Christians shall be martyred for their faith. 

These signs are but the beginnings of Man's sorrows; 
Iniquity shall abound, and the love for thy neighbor shall run cold.
Many shall hate their brothers and betray one another.
Evangelicals shall preach prophecy, unto all nations;
Signifying the end times, while Christians prepare for the rapture.

Congratulations on you win John. True and sad and the warning has been there for a long time. We humans are just ‘a bit’ slow on the uptake. Many wishes, Kai

Wow! For decades we've been told to watch for the signs you've described, never knowing if our present day will be our last one. A very thought-provoking acrostic, Emile! Best wishes in the contest.
