Why we watch for signs
As believers in Christ, we are called to be watchful and discerning, especially in the last days. The Bible provides several reasons why Christians keep a vigilant eye on signs and events that indicate the approaching return of Jesus Christ.
Signs of the times, Christian readiness, righteous living
In Matthew 16:1-4, Jesus admonishes the Pharisees and Sadducees for their failure to discern the signs of the time
Spiritual Warfare: A Christian warrior clad in the full armor of God stands firm on a battlefield, surrounded by dark, shadowy demonic forces. His armor glows with divine light, and he holds the sword of the Spirit while a large shield deflects fiery arrows. The stormy sky symbolizes the ongoing spiritual battle between good and evil.
As Christians, we believe that we are living in the last days, a time of spiritual warfare and conflict. The Bible tells us that in these times, there will be increased demonic activity and deception, as the enemy seeks to deceive and destroy the people of God. But as believers, we have been equipped with the power of Christ to stand firm in the face of this spiritual opposition.

The Tower of Babel at the moment that God confused the language of the people.
The Tower of Babel and the Push for Global Unity Humanity has always sought to build a world apart from God, just as they did at Babel. They united under one language, one goal, and one vision—to make a name for themselves. But God intervened, scattering them and confusing their language (Genesis 11:1-9). Today, we see a similar push for global unity, where faith in God is dismissed in favor of human control. Governments, media, and culture pressure people to conform, often treating those who resist as obstacles to progress. Could this be conditioning for the ultimate deception the Bible warns about? Jesus said the last days would be like the days of Noah—filled with arrogance and disregard for God (Matthew 24:37-39). Now, more than ever, we must stand firm in truth, put on the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-11), and keep our eyes on Christ. The world is being prepared for judgment—but are you prepared for His return?
