End Times

The mark of the beast is a literal mark that will be placed on the right hand or forehead of people during the tribulation period, required to buy or sell. It is associated with the number 666 and the Antichrist. Receiving it brings eternal damnation.

Jesus and the apostles described specific signs that would precede the end times: wars and rumours of wars, famines, pestilences, earthquakes, widespread apostasy, the restoration of Israel, and a general moral decline. Many of these signs are being fulfilled in our generation.

The rapture is the event in which Jesus Christ returns in the air to catch up all born-again believers — both the dead in Christ and those alive — before the seven-year tribulation period begins. It is imminent, meaning it could happen at any moment.
