Is the virus a sign of end times?

[carpro]

Not every sermon had to be that way. A pastor can discuss current events on occasion. This sermon specifically discussed the end times.

They can also refer to the Old Testament and Christ may not be mentioned. The book of Daniel was mentioned many times. But he also preached what Paul said and what Christ said or did many times. Someone is just not listening and would rather be critical. I suspect their reasons have nothing to do with the Bible.

I agree. Some people have to find fault with everything.

I think the guy did a great job applying biblical message and principals to today. Two things a good preacher or Bible Teacher should always do is stay in the Bible and make it relevant to today. He did both.

Where does Scripture tell us what the content of every sermon has to be?

“And I, when I came to you, brothers, did not come proclaiming to you the testimony of God with lofty speech or wisdom. For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.” - 1 Corinthians‬ ‭2:1-2‬ ‭ESV‬‬

So?

First, This was not biblical preaching--it was philosophy mixed with conspiracy theory mixed with some quotations of Bible passages. Christ was not presented nor His work, nor any call to follow Him. Nothing was expounded from the Bible.

This did not belong under the category of Biblical preaching.

2 Tim. 4
3 For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears they will gather around themselves teachers to suit their own desires. 4 So they will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.

This speech was ear tickling.

His teaching was informative, which is edifying to those that view it. A good Pastor is an awful lot more than what you posted.

How is Covid 19 the first and second seal ? It makes no sense whatsoever. Does not fit.

It was an army that went to every human on the planet, as a conqueror to conquer. No one could stop it as it did it's job. It brought the world to a halt. There was relative peace for at least a week. It changed the economy, the way people does things, and reduced pollution.

This world is not going to go one forever. This year, it practically stopped. If you think you have time to do anything, you do not.

If you think you have time to do anything, you do not.

Oh, please. People like you have been trying to predict when the world is going to end for centuries. Just stop already.

“But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.” - Matthew‬ ‭24:36‬ ‭ESV‬‬

The term "edifying" in Scriptural context means to be built up into the Lord Jesus Christ--matured, strengthened--all that video did was tickle ears.

Once again, Biblical Preaching carries with it certain expectations.

For instance,

2 Timothy 3:16--Teaching/Doctrine, reproof, correction, and training in righteous-as per the result of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

That video did not have anything to do with Biblical teaching--it had everything to do with speculation, conspiracy theory, and philosophy--Ear Tickling.

It met those expectations, and then some.

Perhaps you should watch it again, that is, if you watched it the first time.

End times preaching is just too much for some to take in.

Matthew 23:6-8. "And you will hear of wars and rumours of wars. See to it that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences and earthquakes in various places. All these things are the beginnings of sorrows [or 'birth pangs']."

Plagues, viruses and pandemics are not signs of the coming of Christ. They have gone on since our Lord departed into heaven and they will go on until He returns. He says to us, "Watch, therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming" (Matthew 24:42-44).

If there is a sign, it will be that unsaved people are saying, 'Peace and safety!' (1 Thessalonians 5:2-3). Are they saying that at the present time in the midst of this pandemic?? I don't think so.

We are to be ready if the Lord should come tomorrow, and to work as if He will not come in our lifetimes. We do not know which it will be.
