The Coming
Apocalypse!
|
“But
the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your
prayers.”
(1 Peter 4:7)
One
very certain fact is that one day, very soon, the world will come to an end.
With every passing day, we are inching closer to the apocalypse –the end of all
things. Even the continual degradation of the earth, the continual and
increasing natural disasters point to the fact that we are approaching
“doomsday.”
There
have been various predictions through the years of doomsday by people – and all
have failed. Hardly does anybody get bothered today, were there to be a
prediction of doomsday.
Jesus
told us He is coming back, yet He cautioned us against deception, for no one
(not even Him) knows the day but the Father
(Mark 13:32).
Scripture
however warns us scoffing at the promise of His return.
2 Peter 3:3-4,9-10
3 Knowing this first: that scoffers
will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts,
4 and saying, "Where is the
promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue
as they were from the beginning of creation."
9 The Lord is not slack concerning
His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not
willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
10 But the day of the Lord will
come as a thief in the night…
That
He hasn’t returned is no indication He is not returning. And then you will not
stay alive forever. He will either come or you go.
Time
and space will not permit me to write all the scriptures that give all the
hints concerning the events of the last days. These events are unfolding right
before our eyes. We are living in the last days. It will soon be over. Get
right with God. Prepare to meet your God. Stay ready. One of these days the
trumpet of God will sound, and the King will return for His own. To qualify for
this rapture of the saints, you must be born again and live right. Give your
life to Christ TODAY!
Luke 17:26-30
And as it was in the days of Noah,
so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: 27 They ate, they drank, they married wives,
they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the
flood came and destroyed them all. 28
Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought,
they sold, they planted, they built; 29
but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from
heaven and destroyed them all. 30 Even
so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.
To
the believer, there is a wake-up call, to be up and doing in your walk with
God.
Luke 21:34-36a (TLB)
"Watch out! Don't let my sudden coming
catch you unawares; don't let me find you living in careless ease, carousing
and drinking, and occupied with the problems of this life, like all the rest of
the world. 36 Keep a constant watch.
Maranatha!
