TeTuhinga o mua was about God’s promise regarding the promise and coming of Jesus Christ, te Mesia. All prophecies regarding the coming of the Messiah were fulfilled. It did not happen instantly when God gave His promise, but it took more than 2000 years before the promise of the Messiah came to pass. E whakaatu ana tenei ki a tatou, that the Bible is the Truth and that God speaks the truth. Therefore the Bible is reliable. Jesus has ascended to heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father and while we do the works of the Kingdom and save as many people as possible and restore them in Christ, we are waiting for the return of Jesus Christ. Let’s have a look at what Jesus says about His return and the signs of His coming.
Te hokinga mai o Ihu Karaiti
Hend as He sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto Him privately, e kii ana, Tell us, when shall these things be? And what shall be the sign of Thy coming, and of the end of the world? (Matiu 24:3)
Ahakoa tenei ra, the Bible is still the Truth and every day, we see that the prophecies, regarding the return of Jesus Christ are coming to pass. It won’t be long before Jesus returns (Panuitia hoki: ‘Ko te Kupu a te Atua ka mau tonu’).
I tenei wa, me tatou Kia mataara. Every day we must be prepared for His coming. His return will be like a thief in the night. That’s why we must be watchful and stay in Him. So that we will not be left behind, when He comes for His bride, Te Ekalesia. This means that we should walk holy and righteous in Him.
Ka rite ki te whanau-hou whakapono it’s important to know about the return of Jesus and the signs of His coming, and what will happen in the end times.
Not only in the New Testament but also in the Old Testament, we read about the end times and the return of the Messiah; Ihu Karaiti. If you would like to know more about the return of Jesus Christ, E hiahia ana ahau ki te whakatenatena i a koe, to study the Books of Daniel, the small prophets, the gospels, and the Book of Revelation.
What are the signs of His coming?
The most important thing for the believers is to stay awake in the spirit and watch. Because if you are not watchful and don’t stay awake, then before you know it, something could enter your life, that will keep you from the Word, Te Tika, and Life or steal the words of God. Therefore, stay awake and be watchful!
Kia titiro tatou, at what Jesus says about His return and the end of times in the three Gospels: Matiu, Mark, and Luke. Because of the many signs, the signs will not be discussed in this article but in the following articles.

- Ka matoke haere te aroha o te tini
- This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations

- Then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven
