THE LORD IS NEAR

 

Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near. [Php 4:5]

It does not take a rocket scientist or a Phd in Bible studies to realize that things are getting ugly all around the world. If we thought for a moment that all the negative changes are here in the U.S., we would be horribly wrong. Right before our eyes we are witnessing the universal separation, the division, if you will, of the SHEEP and the GOATS. The Lord's will is plainly seen.

There are many "so-called" experts in the study of Eschatology (study of the last things and times) who have bushel baskets loaded with predictions and bonafides as to the when and where the taking away will occur and the Great Tribulation to follow. Be assured beloved, they don't know!! The only one who does know is the FATHER. He is not talking. He has, however, given us enough information in scripture that we can with assurance identify that we are indeed in the SEASON of the end times right now! Of this, there is little doubt. The sound of the SHOFAR, the TRUMPET can come at any time. Are you ready?

The Apostle Paul writes:

But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope.  For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus.  For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep.  For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.  Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord.  Therefore comfort one another with these words. [1Th 4:13-18]

We have to be sober and alert. Our walk with the Lord must be consistent, constant, and sincere. Those who "Thump the Bible" on Sunday mornings and then hit the Bars and gambling halls the other 6 days are in for a terrible surprise when HE comes!

He who testifies to these things says, "Yes, I am coming quickly." Amen. Come, Lord Jesus. - Therefore, beloved, since you look for these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, spotless and blameless,- abstain from every form of evil.  Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.  Faithful is He who calls you, and He also will bring it to pass. [Rev 22:20-2Pe 3:14-1Th 5:22-24]

Today, right now is NOT the time to be complacent. Those who snooze will loose. If you do not have a direct, personal and full time love affair with Jesus our Savior, you really need to get RIGHT....right now! When we least expect Him to come, He will be here.

...be patient; strengthen your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is near. [Jas 5:8]
