Previous Christian generations have all thought that Jesus will come back during their lifetime. However, He never came back since not all the bible prophesies on his coming had been fulfilled. Christians now feel that His return is imminent. Here are prophesies in the bible that had to be fulfilled before Jesus coming back.
The bible in Mathew 24:22 talks of days of wicked and that God saw it fit to shorten them so that the whole world does not get wiped away. It says that Christ will step in to save the human population from self- annihilation. This is now possible given the amount of military arsenal available within the last 50 years. There is a lot of nuclear arsenal with the major powers. There are also hydrogen bombs held by some countries. If these weapons fell in wrong hands such as terror groups in Middle East or dictatorial leaders, it could be catastrophic.
Luke 21:7 talks of re-establishment of Jewish state as one of the pointers to His coming just as a bud sprouts from a branch. Israelites finally got a home after centuries of wars and deportations. This happened in 1948. Zechariah 12:2-3 also prophesied that the new state will be stronger than its enemies surrounding it.
The other remarkable event is the union of European countries. Daniel chapter 2 and 7 talks about empires that will rise in world before the kingdom of God is established. The last empire was the Roman Empire that was broken up into the European countries. The bible calls then the ten horns. In Revelation 17,12-14 the holy bible talks about the attempt to unite.
There is a unification of the European states, and they are moving towards a single nation. They have a parliament, monetary union and everything else is falling into place. In the past, there has been attempts to join up the countries but by the use of force. This is a voluntary membership. It is not known which ten states will form a single state but the holy bible talks of ten of them.
The gospel is also to be spread to all nations before Christ comes back. Mathew 24:14 talks of this an impediment to His coming. A while back, most communist and Islamic countries restricted the gospel. However, technology has enabled the gospel to reach all ends of earth through such mediums as the internet, TV, videos and radio.
There have been higher frequencies of famines, earthquakes and pestilence in the last century than there have been since the middle ages. Mathew 27:7-9 predicts that in the final days, all these will happen and that it will be the beginning of sorrows.
People also forsook God and engaged in all forms of immorality and wickedness. This has grown to extremely high levels. There are lots of murders, increased hate, and individualism among other ills. Marriages are breaking up fast; children are aborted at an amazing rate making this more of a lawless world as Luke 9:23 states.
