"Jesus
answered and said to them ...
'And there will be
Deadly diseases (pestilence) spreading'"
(Matthew 24:7)
Jesus Warns ...
"Now as He (Jesus Christ) sat on the Mount of Olives,
the disciples came to Him privately, saying,
'Tell us, when will these things be?’
And ‘What will be the sign of Your coming,
and of the end of the Age?’"
(Matthew 24:3)
"Jesus answered and said to them ...
'And there will be
Deadly diseases (pestilence) spreading'"
(Matthew 24:7)
Just study the news to see the frightening number
of new antibiotic resistant, or mosquito-borne, or incurable
sexually transmitted diseases which are now spreading rapidly around
the world.
Just as with the earthquake prophecy, these
prophecies concerning deadly diseases are also remarkable because
these Bible Prophecies could only be fulfilled with global
communication technologies capable of reporting these things on a
world wide scale (see the prophecies concerning 'Travel and
Knowledge' increasing).
Even though the world has always had famines,
diseases, and earthquakes, the Bible warns us that as a sign we are
entering into 'the time of the end' we will see these things
increase in frequency.
Described as "birth pangs," these pains will
continue to grow worse and worse, coming closer and closer together,
as signs we are preparing to enter into the time of the coming 7
year Apocalypse.
For this same Bible Prophecy which was given
concerning these earthquakes, famines, and deadly diseases also goes
on to warn ..
"For then there will be Great Tribulation,
such as has not been
since the beginning of the world until this time,
no, nor ever shall be (the coming "Apocalypse").
And unless those days were shortened,
no human being (flesh) would be saved"
(Matthew 24:21-22)
The Bible warns here that never in the
history of Mankind has there been anything as terrible on Earth as
the coming Apocalypse (called here the "Great Tribulation"), when
only a small remnant of the world will survive.
