Recognize "the Sign"!

 The sign of the end includes global war," great earthquakes," "pestilences," and major "food shortages." (Luke 21:10,11; Matthew 24:7, 8; Mark 13:8) Also marking the "last days" would be a serious moral and spiritual breakdown in society.  (2 Timothy 3:1-5) have "all these blessings "occurred? (Matthew 24:8) Yes-to the point that many people fear the future.  The newspaper The Globe and Mail stated: "Some of the most respected thinkers about science and society are issuing alarming prognostifications about humanity coming to an end."

In one very important respect, however, those prognostifications are wrong-humanity itself will not end. In fact, the intervention by God's Kingdom guarantees it!  When giving the sign of the end, Jesus Christ stated: "This good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all nations; and then the end will come." (Matthew 24:14) How has this prophecy unfolded?
