Summary

In this urgent and authoritative message from Is the End Near?, Dr. Michael Youssef begins by addressing a question believers have asked for generations: Are we living in the last days? Drawing from Matthew 24, Dr. Youssef reveals six unmistakable signs Jesus gave—comparing them to labor pains that intensify before the return of Christ. From the spread of deception and false teaching—even within churches—to escalating global conflict, natural disasters, and persecution of faithful believers, each sign is a call for spiritual vigilance and Gospel proclamation. The message culminates with Christ’s promise that the Gospel will reach all nations before the end comes—urging every believer to stand firm, repent, and proclaim God’s unchanging Truth in these perilous times.
