Nadir: (Despair) 2nd Coming Signs In The Church

NADIR? WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE CHURCH? SECOND COMING…

By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com (NAY-deer)

We are expecting the IMMINENT RETURN OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. 1. In the church. 2. In Israel. 3. In nature. 4. In world politics. 5. In society. 6. In technology. 7. In Biblical prophecies. We are in part two of signs in the church. Previously in part one signs in the church we studied. The outpouring of the Holy Spirit. (Joel 2:28). Then we considered Matthew 24:10 easily offended, betrayal, holy hatred. Then John 4:48 the seeking of signs. Then Matthew 24: 23-26 running here and there to find miracles. Then 2 Thessalonians 2:2-3 the great falling away. We closed that with the devaluation of church attendance. Hebrews 10:25.

No sadder words of pen and tongue than the words what might have been? We start this study by considering how low in sin will people fall?

*ZENITH: (Arabic term) to reach above, the highest point, to reach the top, the high point, the head, to crown.

*NADIR: (NAY-deer) (Arabic term) the point of greatest adversity or despair, the time of one’s greatest depression, terrible depression, at one’s lowest point, to hit the bottom, nothing, zero, low ebb.

NADIR? HOW LOW AND DEPRAVED CAN HUMANITY SINK?

Genesis 6:3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.

Genesis 6:5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

NADIR… AS IN NOAH’S DAYS. NOAH WARNED THOSE THE RAIN IS COMING. NADIR? SEEMS PEOPLE FAIL TO LEARN FROM HISTORY …

Matthew 24:37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

CAN MAN REACH TO NADIR (NAY –deer) AGAIN? AFTER THE LORD’S GRACE AND MERCY IN NOAH’S DAY… WE SEE THE CHOICE OF WILLFUL DEPRIVATION IN MAN’S LOVE OF WILLFUL SIN.…

NADIR? SEEMS PEOPLE FAIL TO LEARN FROM HISTORY … GOD WARNED ABRAHAM AND HE INTERCEDED FOR SODOM AND GOMORRAH. WE HAVE BEEN STUDYING THE SIGNS OF THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS CHRIST. THE WHOLE ISSUE IN THIS STUDY WILL WE REPENTANCE AND BE PREPARED AND READY FOR WHAT IS COMING ON THIS EARTH?

ZENITH: (Arabic term) to reach above, the highest point, to reach the top, the high point, the head, to crown.

NADIR: (Arabic term) the point of greatest adversity or despair, the time of one’s greatest depression, terrible depth.

NADIR? HOW LOW AND DEPRAVED CAN HUMANITY SINK?

Genesis 19:4 But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter: 5 And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them. 6 And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him, 7 And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly. 8 Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof.

NADIR? Study the real issues of NADIR at SODOM and GOMORRAH… DO WE NEED TO DISCUSS THE LOW POINT OF CHOICES AND SIN? Sexual sin is terrible but Sodom had other problems… the NADIR of PRIDE. How about the fullness of bread, idleness and not helping those in need?

Ezekiel 16:49 Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.

The Bible warns us of a society of unrestrained sin like SODOM and GOMORRAH. It sure seems like the world and the USA are in direct rebellion and rejecting God and His word! Corruption and moral decay are rampant. The very foundations on the rock has turned to SAND. Seems men’s culture, thought patterns, impulses, violence, communication and governments are so corrupt and depraved and accepted as the norm even in the church. THERE IS NO ADMITTING OF WRONG DOING AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO REPENTANCE AND CORRECTION. HAVE WE REACHED THE NADIR
