Teaching My Family About the End Times – A Guide for Faith, Not Fear

​​​​​​​

Posted June 14, 2025

As the world grows darker and prophecy continues to unfold before our eyes, I often think: If I had a family looking to me for guidance, what would I be teaching them right now about the end times?
The answer is simple: I would be preparing them spiritually, mentally, and practically—not with fear, but with faith and urgency.

Here’s how I would lead them:

1. Stay Anchored in Jesus Christ

“Abide in me, and I in you…” – John 15:4 (KJV)
More than anything else, our family must be rooted in a personal relationship with Jesus. When the world is shaken—and it will be—only Christ is unshakable.
I’d encourage daily prayer, worship, and reading the Word, not out of duty, but out of love and dependency on Him.

2. Understand Bible Prophecy

We wouldn’t avoid the topic—we’d dig into it together.
We’d study:

• Matthew 24 – the signs of the times
• Daniel 7–12 – the kingdoms and rise of the antichrist
• 2 Thessalonians 2 – the great falling away
• Revelation 13 – the beast, the false prophet, and the mark

I’d teach them that Bible prophecy isn’t there to scare us—it’s there to prepare us.

3. Do Not Be Deceived

“Take heed that no man deceive you.” – Matthew 24:4
Deception will be Satan’s sharpest tool. We’d talk openly about:

• False teachers
• Political and religious manipulation
• The “you’ve got time” lie

I’d train them to test everything by Scripture—not by feelings, culture, or charisma.

4. Be Spiritually Ready

“They that were ready went in with him… and the door was shut.” – Matthew 25:10
We would be like the wise virgins, keeping our lamps filled with the oil of the Holy Spirit.
This means:

• Walking in obedience
• Daily repentance
• Living holy lives in a wicked world

We’d live like Jesus could return any moment—because He could.

5. Be Bold Witnesses

“If the watchman see the sword come… and blow not the trumpet…” – Ezekiel 33:6
I would teach them to lovingly warn others. Like someone seeing a car stuck on a train track, they’d feel the urgency to speak up—not just about end times, but about Jesus’ saving grace.

6. Prepare Practically (But Don’t Panic)

“A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself…” – Proverbs 22:3
We’d have basic preparations in place—food, water, and emergency supplies—not because we’re afraid, but because we’re wise.
But we’d keep our focus on eternal readiness, not survivalism. Faith over fear—always.

7. Keep Our Eyes on Heaven

“Look up… your redemption draweth nigh.” – Luke 21:28
I would remind them often: the end of this world is not the end of our story. We are headed for the most glorious Kingdom—ruled by Jesus Christ, filled with peace, justice, and joy.

No more tears. No more war. Just home.

Final Thought

If I had a family, I wouldn’t just teach them to watch for signs—I’d teach them to know the Savior.
Prophecy is being fulfilled, but our hope is unshaken. Jesus wins. We are His. Let’s be ready. And let’s help others get ready too.
