"When you see
these things, recognize that He is near, right at the door. Truly, I say to you, this generation will not
pass away until all these things take place.
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. But of that day and hour no one knows, not
even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone" (Matt.
24:33-36).
Hey Gang: Could it be
today? You bet your sweet bippy! It could be right this moment! BUT, every
moment He delays gives us a moment to fulfill His command to His children, "Go
into all the world and share the good news that Jesus Christ is King of kings
and Lord of lords".
No warning, folks.
One will be gone and the other left.
While still an air traffic controller for the Federal Aviation Agency
there was an airline that made sure at least one of their pilots on board every
flight was a non-believer, in the event Christ would come an collect all those
whose names were recorded in the Lamb's Book of Life and take them to the
Marriage Feast of the Lamb.
The disciples asked Jesus, "When will these things happen? What will be the sign of Your coming and
the end of the age?" (Matt.
24:3). Notice His first response, “Be
very careful that you do not buy into the things of this world and be diverted
from the truth for many will fall away and will betray one another and hate one
another, many false prophets will arise and will mislead many.” (Matt. 24: 11-12).
Jesus also gave us an iron clad formula to prevent or allow (by
our choice) slue foot to take us down the road to the pit: "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see
whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the
world" (I John 4:1). John goes
on and gives us a formula for testing the spirit: "By
this you know the Spirit of God; every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ
has come in the flesh is from God and every spirit that does not confess Jesus
is not from God" (V.2).
During the cold war years there was a group of world guru's
that got together each year to set the hands on the "Dooms Day
Clock". Man, through the advent of
the nuclear age, had now found the key to annihilating life on planet
earth. It is said that we now have the
power to annihilate every human being on earth many times over and, we are
learning through the barbarism of Isis, Boka Haram, Hamas, Al Qaeda, Hezballah
and other terrorist groups, there are those that have the will to do just that!
Jesus said, "Therefore be on the alert, for you do
not know which day your Lord is coming.
But be sure of this, that if the head of the house had known at what
time of the night the thief was coming, he would have been on the alert and
would not have allowed his house to be broken into, for this reason you must be
ready, for the son of Man is coming at an hour when you don't think He will
(24:42-42).
Soooo, I ask you again, could it be today? No man knows the day or the hour, not even
the Son of God, Yeshua. Is your lamp
filled with oil and your armor in place this morning? Have you honed your defense by spending time
with the Lord and in His word? Jesus
said, "Behold when I come, I come
quickly and the door of salvation will be closed"
