Are You Watching?
I've been seeing a lot of grumbling in online circles about people being too focused on end times. Accusations of only focusing on the book of Revelation and ignoring the other 65 books of the bible. And I've been seeing a lot of people talking about how they're scared, or they hope we have more time, or the usual dismissal and scoffing about how no one will know the day or the hour, or people have been saying that Jesus is coming back for thousands of years.
People have told me for awhile I have no hope, my social media pages are only doom and gloom, and that I live in fear.
Personally, I think a lot of people have their heads in the sand and are going to be caught unaware. I don't write this post to target any particular person or group.
Matthew 24:4-8 KJV
4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 ALL THESE ARE THE BEGINNING OF SORROWS. (caps are my own emphasis.)
Everywhere I look, I see the tribulation coming. Everywhere I look, I see the signs of what Jesus said above.
Luke 21:28-36 KJV
28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
29 And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;
30 When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.
31 So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.
32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.
33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
We are commanded to watch!
I could give so many scriptural examples to further my case, but honestly, if you don't want to believe it's near I'm probably not going to be able to change your mind. I can't make you see.
I pray these words will reach your heart and that you will surrender to Jesus and let go of your attachments to this world.
God bless you.
