Many people do not think so, but I do.
There are too many evidences according to what the Holy Scriptures say
and the times are bad. There are many things going on against God’s bride which
is His church and one of these days, without announcing it He will be coming
for her and the ones who are ready and expecting it will be taken to not come
back, for the moment. The Word of God is full of interpretations of how the
kingdom of heaven is getting close and how we should be ready to not be left
out (like in Noah’s time). It would be eternally awful, after knocking at a
known door to hear Him say: “Truly I say to you, I do not know
you.”(Matthew 25.12) That is
what the bridegroom told the virgins who were expecting to enter the feast, but
not ready. (Read verses 1-13) When Jesus
comes for us it will be like a thief in the night. (I Thessalonians
5.2) That is why we should be
ready. .. for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you don’t think He will.
(Matthew 24.44)
These times are NOT “the end of
the World” as some people think and say, yet Jesus said it: “But
all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs. . .” (Mathew 24.8)
Why do we know it? Because the
Scripture says it and we study it diligently and listen to the experts that
specialize in that matter which is called: Eschatology.
And if we search in the Web for
it and read in the Word of God those
who He sent to warn us about it, you’ll be surprised how much it sounds like
the times we’re living now-a-days. When
did you ever hear that the power of money could control, against all reason, the
biggest networks in the world? And conspire to destroy decent people with big
lies and make it public? But The Lord of Lords said through His prophet: Woe
to those who drag iniquity with the cords of falsehood. Woe to those who call evil good, and good
evil; who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; who substitute
bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! (Isaiah 5.18, 20) If you let
yourself be controlled by what is “fashionable” today, you will be in that list
of “Woes”, but if you let God control your life and the one of your family, you
will be safe, even of perjury. Many
are the sorrows of the wicked, but he who trusts in the Lord, loving kindness
shall surround him. (Psalm 32.10)
The ones who want to live according to what’s “fashionable” in the world today might have to
consider if the style is acceptable to God. The Scriptures says clearly: And
do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your
mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and
acceptable and perfect. (Romans 12.2) That means not to follow anybody’s example, no
matter who, if I have not consulted if it is in accordance with the will of God
which in my dictionary is a synonym of “my best interest.”
We are living in the last times, yes,
for everything that is going on, so, when you see all these things recognize
that He’s near, right at the door. Truly I say to you, this generation will not
pass away until all these things take place. (Matthew 24.33,34 ) Jesus
is calling you today to follow Him. Don’t be stubborn and make Him the center
of your life. Do not take the risk of
his saying I do not know you, instead, listen to Him say: “Well done, good and faithful slave. You
were faithful with a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter
into the joy of your master.” (Matthew 25.23)
