Talmud Sanhedrin 97b
The 10 signs, called the Birth-Pangs of the Messiah.
- The world will either be in a state of complete righteousness or
complete degradation
- Truth will decrease and lies will prevail
- Inflation will be out of control
- The Jews will return to their biblical homeland and the desert will
bloom
- There will be fewer and fewer wise and righteous people
- Many Jews will give up the hope of redemption
- The young will treat the old with disrespect
- Learning will be rejected because people will desire a life of ease.
- The whole world will turn against Israel
- The Jews will fight each other
(the secular against religious)
In the war of Gog and Magog, god will defeat Israel's enemies and confirm
the nation of Israel is god's chosen people. Earthly redemption will last
6000 years. Then eternity will start.

21, and Revelation Jesus taught these signs:
The beginning of the Birth-Pangs
- Wars and rumors of wars among the nations
- Famine and plagues (epidemics)
- False Messiahs
- The return of the Jews to the land of Israel
- The restoration of the nation of Israel
The Birth-Pangs
- The Gospel spreads to all nations of the earth
- Many false prophets arise
- The Jerusalem Temple will be reestablished
- The abomination of desolation set up
- Hatred of the nations toward Israel
- Uncontrollable anarchy
- Signs in the heavens and natural disasters
- Tribulation
- Peoples indifference to the signs of the times
After the battle of Armageddon the Messiah will appear in the clouds and
the thousand year rein will begin. Satan will be bound in chains. When the
Millennium ends, god creates a new heaven, earth and the new Jerusalem
descends.
