As we say goodbye to 2022 and hello to 2023, it's a good time to reflect on the whole of eternity and the Bible's clues as to when the end of the world will be. Saying farewell to a year gone by is nothing compared to looking at the entire world in the rearview mirror. It seems every generation reads Jesus' words about the end of time believing they're in the last days. But they weren't right two hundred years ago. So are our predictions any better? Are there more wars and rumors of wars? More nations rising against nations? We've certainly seen a lot of that lately, especially in the last century. But Dr. Michael Youssef focuses on Jesus's other words in the prophetic verse that say, these things are only birth pains. On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, Dr. Youssef, founder Of Leading The Way Ministry, explores his new book, "Is The End Near?" He looks at it from the perspective of what Jesus actually said, taking into account that even Jesus believed no one would know the exact day or time. Only God knows. The important thing to remember is how we are to be close to God, no matter the hour or the signs of the times.
