Is Jesus Close To Coming Back?

«And what will be the sign of your coming, and of the end of the age?» Matthew 24:3

Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives. Then His disciples came close to Him and asked: “Jesus, you said that you will go to Heaven and that one day you will come back for us. How will we know when that day will be near?” The disciples wanted to know what signs would be warning that Jesus would be close to returning.

He answered: “Watch out, because liars will appear, saying that they are the Christ. There will be wars, famines, pestilences and earthquakes in various places. You will be persecuted. People who were your friends will betray you. There will be many false prophets. People will become very wicked.”

The last sign that Jesus would be very close to returning would be the preaching of the gospel to everyone. Then a little cloud will appear in the sky, and it will get bigger and bigger. This cloud will be Jesus coming down with many angels to pick up all those who have chosen to love and obey God!

Let’s practice!

Draw the little cloud where Jesus will come down with His angels.
