The conclusion of Paradise Is Near! - Earthquakes

Earthquakes. "There will be . . . earthquakes in one place after another."  (Matthew  24:7) This also has come true in our time. Over a million people have died in earthquakes since 1914.

Wicked people.  People would be " lovers of money" and "lovers of themselves."  They would be "lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God."  Children would "disobedient to parents."  (2 Timothy 3:1-5) Do you  not agree that there are many people like that today?  They have no respect for God, and they make trouble for those who try to learn about God. 

Crime. There would also be an "increasing of lawlessness." ( Matthew 24:12)  Likely you will agree that crime is worse than it was years ago.  People everywhere are at risk of being robbed, cheated, or harmed.

All these thing show that God's Kingdom is near. The Bible says:  "When you see these things occurring, know that the kingdom of God is near."  (Luke 21:31)  What is the Kingdom of God?  It is God's heavenly government that will bring Paradise to this earth.  God's Kingdom will replace human governments. - Daniel 2:44.
