Devout Christians around the globe await the day of the Second Coming when it is said Jesus Christ will return to establish his kingdom on Earth. According to Paul Begley, an evangelist from West Lafayette in Indiana, US, the signs of the Second Coming might already be unfolding. Pastor Begley, host of The Coming Apocalypse, is a popular purveyor of doomsday prophecies and biblical conspiracies concerning the end times.
In a recent broadcast shared online, the firebrand preacher said: “All right folks, this is that. It’s happening, okay?
“So Pentecost came, Jerusalem was shaking and quaking, the devil’s back was breaking, revival was spreading through the land.
“People were being saved, healed and delivered, but what is this? Well, this is that. That’s what Peter said.”
Pastor Begley then cited scripture and prophecies of the last days cited in the Book of Acts 2.

He said: “This is that, the prophecy of the last days.
“This is that, the outpouring of the Holy Ghost.
“This is that, the manifestation of the presence of God working within humanity.
“This is that, the written word becoming the living word.
“This is that, the outpouring of the coming of the Messiah and what it means now for His return.”
The signs of Jesus’ Second Coming and the end of the world were foretold in the Gospel of Matthew.
In Matthew 24, Jesus is confronted by his disciples on the Mount of Olives who want to know about the signs of the end times.
Matthew 24 reads: “You will hear of wars and rumours of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.
“Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.
“All these are the beginning of birth pains.”
According to pastor Begley, many of these events are already unfolding.
He said: “All of these apocalyptic signs are confirmation that this is that.
However, the Bible said: “About that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the father.”
