Bible Prophecy & The Last Days: Signs of the End | Pastor Harley Doneburg | 01.04.26

In this message, Pastor Harley Doneburg continues a temporary pause in the church’s study through the book of Acts, marking the third consecutive week focused on a topical teaching centered on Bible prophecy and the last days. Rooted primarily in Matthew chapter 24, with supporting passages from Daniel and Revelation, this teaching explores why Jesus emphasized the signs of His return and what they mean for believers today.

As the disciples asked Jesus about the destruction of the temple, the sign of His coming, and the end of the age, Pastor Harley explains how Jesus responded with clarity rather than speculation—warning of deception, wars, famine, pestilence, earthquakes, and persecution, which He described as the “beginning of sorrows.” These signs are not meant to create fear, but to produce spiritual alertness and readiness.

This study highlights the prophetic role of Israel in God’s redemptive plan, affirming that God is not finished with the nation and that Israel’s modern regathering stands as a major indicator of the times in which we live. By connecting Daniel’s prophecies with the seal judgments of Revelation, Pastor Harley shows how Scripture consistently points toward a coming tribulation period and the rise of a global deceiver known as the Antichrist.

The message also addresses the growing danger of spiritual deception in the last days, reminding the church that many will abandon truth in favor of false gospels and counterfeit hope. Rather than distracting believers, Bible prophecy is presented as a vital tool for discernment, endurance, and faithfulness in an increasingly hostile world.

This teaching ultimately calls the church to look up, stay grounded in God’s Word, and live with urgency and hope—remembering that Jesus is coming back and that understanding the times helps believers remain focused on God’s kingdom above all else.
