SIGNS OF THE TIMES!

privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the
sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? (Mat 24:3 KJV)
I believe that we are living in the last days before the great coming of the

world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

place of the prayer meeting.
