Signs of time? There are many signs. False prophets, famines, earthquakes and persecution. Jesus mentions positive signs as well: we will be able to witness to people in high positions (13:9). Jesus will come back once the gospel is proclaimed to all nations (13:10). Those positive signs are an incentive to preach and share the gospel. We ourselves are called to endure (13:13 and Hebrews 12:2) God wants everyone to be saved and we can be part of it!
