When it comes to the return of Christ, there are many signs and wonders that will accompany His coming before it happens.
In a word about Jesus’ return, Perry Stone shared how the last sign before the flood in Noah’s day and age was the man named Methuselah. He was the oldest person to live, at 969 years.
However, it was the meaning of Methuselah’s name that was a sign in and of itself. When the etymology of his name is broken down, Methuselah means that “at his death, it shall be sent.”
“It had the connotation of his death would bring it,” Stone says. “If you study Genesis and you look at his age and the timing of the flood, Methuselah died a week, one week, seven days before the flood struck the planet.”
Just as Methuselah acted as the sign of the impending end before the flood, we are seeing our own last sign before the return of Christ.

“Our sign is this; it should come to pass in the last day, saith God, ‘I will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions.’ Our sign is this global outpouring of the Holy Spirit,” Stone says.
Just as Joel 2 says that this will come to pass, we are seeing an increase today people, including young people, having dreams, visions and prophesying.
“There is coming a pre-tribulation revival and outpouring of the Holy Spirit and the Spirit of God being poured,” Stone says. “We have a time when God is going to refresh us.”
While none of us know the day or the hour when the Son of Man will return in all His glory, we can see the revival harvest as evidence that He is on His way. We are in position to declare: “maranatha, come, Lord Jesus.”
