Jesus gave 12 trends as signs of the generation in which He will return (Mt. 24:4-8; Mk. 13:5-8, Lk. 21:7-18). They are false christs, war, ethnic conflict, economic warfare, famines, pestilences, earthquakes, troubles, commotions, fearful sights, great signs from heaven, and persecution.
5 Many will come in My name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will deceive many. 6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars…for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation…and there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes…8 All these are the beginning of sorrows (birth pangs). (Mt. 24:5-8)
11 There will be…famines, pestilences…fearful sights and great signs from heaven. (Lk. 21:11)
Jesus commanded us to know the generation that the Lord returns.
32 Learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. 33 So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near--at the doors! 34 Assuredly…this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place… (Mt. 24:32-34)
In Mt. 24:33, Jesus said that when we see ALL the prophetic sign events of Mt. 24 occur at the same time that we should know that summer is near (change of season in God’s calendar). There is only one generation in which all these things happen simultaneously on a global basis.
