“A Day To Come”

Mark 13:36
Don’t let Him find you sleeping when He arrives without warning.
What I say to you I say to everyone; Watch for His return! (NLT)

Jesus’ return is imminent (Matthew 24:50, 25:13), (Mark 13:32-27), (Luke 12:40), (1 Corinthians 16:22), (Philippians 3:20), (1 Thessalonians 5:2), (Titus 2:12-13), (Hebrews 10:25), (James 5:7-9), (1 Peter 4:7), (Revelation 1:3, 22:7, 12, 20) just as it is written in God’s Word, and all of God’s words are, in fact, the ultimate standard for truth (John 17:17). As Christians who believe and except the authority and inerrancy of Scripture we cannot know for sure when this event will take place, but we can surely prepare ourselves and be ready at all times. Although the Bible is quite clear about the future of His creation and its final restoration, what is not so clear is the exact time and sequence of these future events to come. Rather than trying to map out the course of these end times events in order to predict the warnings of our Lord, Jesus Christ, I believe that our Lord Jesus is telling us that there is no better time than the present (Revelation 1:3) to put our lives safely in His hands, admitting all our sin and rebellion against Him, asking for His forgiveness, and to live a life of repentance by allowing Him to transform our lives from darkness into light so that we will not only be able to stand blameless and holy before the Almighty LORD God Himself, but so we will shine brightly in His truth for others to see and prayerfully follow (Matthew 5:16). The end, my dear friends, is closer than it has ever been, and I ask you to fully believe in the words of our Creator and take heed to His Divine Revelation.

A Whisper of Hope

Listen carefully, My child…for the words I speak to you are true and spoken in love. They are not meant to cause you more fear or anxiety above what you are already experiencing from the world, but to give you hope. I tell you these things to bring you My peace; a peace that will sustain you in these last days of turmoil. The end is coming and it is nearer than you think, but if you keep in the Light and walk the path of My Truth; trusting faithfully in all that I Am, the end result you experience will be a glorious one indeed; an end that is truly the beginning of many wonderful things to come.

John 17:17
“Sanctify them in truth; Your word is truth.” (NASB)

Revelation 1:3
Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy,
and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near. (NKJV)

Matthew 5:16
“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see
your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” (NKJV)
