Signs of messiahs- climactic events
|
|
| Not only are celestial events given prominence and significance as signs of the arrival of a messiah, but major climactic change. | ||
| In the New Testament, the death of Jesus is supposed to coincide (or trigger) a major earthquake that shook Jerusalem. Similarly, the end time prophecies of Judgment day such as the Apocrypha of John ("Book of Revelation") speaks of major plagues, earthquakes, tsunamis, and a host of devastating climactic disasters and the return of the Messiah. | ||
| In a not insignificant way, the power of this imagery and its association to the Christian tradition is one reason why many faithful christians believe we are witnessing the "end times" as foretold in the Bible and why the return of the Messiah is soon approaching. | ||
