What’s the one thing you wish someone told you about fatherhood before you became a dad? For me, it wasn’t about sleepless nights or diapers… it was realizing how much my little one would mirror my energy, my patience, and my love. ❤️ I’ve found that being a dad isn’t about perfection It’s about showing up, even when life feels rough, and creating small moments that last forever. Drop your answer in the comments. I’d love to hear your perspective and connect with other dads walking this same journey. 🙌

1. Signs of the End — Matthew 24 Jesus warns His disciples about the “birth pains” before the end: “You will hear of wars and rumors of wars… nation will rise against nation… there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains.” (Matthew 24:6-8) But then, He gives hope. 🌍 2. The Gospel Will Be Preached Everywhere “And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” (Matthew 24:14) Even in chaos, the good news spreads. ☁️ 3. Jesus Returns in Power “Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven… They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory.” (Matthew 24:30) He comes not as a baby in a manger this time — but as King and Judge. 👑 4. A New Kingdom is Established — Revelation 21 After the tribulation and final judgment, Jesus ushers in a new heaven and a new earth: “He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain…” (Revelation 21:4) God dwells with His people again. 🔥 5. Evil is Finally Destroyed Satan, sin, and death are defeated for good: “The devil… was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur… They will be tormented day and night forever and ever.” (Revelation 20:10) 🌅 6. Eternal Peace for Believers Those who follow Jesus are restored and live with Him: “To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne.” (Revelation 3:21) 🙌 So What Does This Mean for Us? Jesus tells us not to fear: “When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.” (Luke 21:28) It’s not the end — it’s the beginning of forever with Him for those who believe.
