Mat 24:37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also
the coming of the Son of man be.
Mat 24:38 For as in the days that were before the flood
they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day
that Noe entered into the ark,
Mat 24:39 And knew not until the flood came, and took
them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Mar 13:33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not
when the time is.
Luk 21:34 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.
Luk 21:35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that
dwell on the face of the whole earth.
Luk 21:36 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've talked about
this so much, but it NEEDS constant discussion, constant study, constant prayer!
Jesus says- Watch and pray always!
We watch and pray
why? So we MAY BE ACCOUNTED WORTHY TO
ESCAPE ALL THESE THINGS THAT SHALL COME TO PASS, AND TO STAND BEFORE THE SON OF
MAN!
Isn't that where we
NEED and WANT to stand? Before our
SAVIOR.
We have to TAKE
HEED.
We have to WATCH.
We have to PRAY.
We have to realize
that the aspect of BELIEF in the very REAL return of our SAVIOR will be
practically gone entirely.
It will be
considered a fable, a fantasy, a delusion that various cults and churches have,
but nothing with any shred of reality to it.
OR and this is a
HUGE OR…
Or the return of our
Savior will be based upon LIES not truth.
Lies about how our
Savior will return. It's NOT a simple
matter of His returning and that's that.
HOW does He return?
It's VERY, VERY
VISIBLE and not to just a few, not to just the elect.
Rev 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye
shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth
shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
How many eyes?
Seriously, how many?
EVERY EYE!
This isn't Christ
coming as a babe growing into adulthood, taking on His AMAZING,
INCOMPREHENSIBLE task of SAVIOR. This is
our SAVIOR coming as our CONQUERING KING! He's is coming to call us HOME with
HIM!
2Th_2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom
the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the
brightness of his coming
Destroyed with the
BRIGHTNESS of HIS COMING.
Mat_24:27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east,
and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
LIGHTNING!
This is NOT a hidden
return!
1Th 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from
heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of
God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
1Th 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be
caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so
shall we ever be with the Lord.
1Th 4:18 Wherefore comfort one another with these
words.
The Lord himself
shall descend from heaven with a SHOUT!
And at that SHOUT
what happens?
The DEAD IN CHRIST
RISE from their graves! Then at that shout WE which are alive and remain will
be caught up with them in the clouds to MEET THE LORD IN THE AIR! And PRAISE
GOD, all GLORY TO GOD, so shall we EVER BE WITH THE LORD!
I don't know about you, but I know I want to be with the LORD FOREVER!
I don't want to get
caught up in the false theories that are running rampant about how our Savior
will return. I don't want to get caught up in NOT believing it will happen. I
don't want to get caught up in being a scoffer! I want the TRUTH and ONLY THE TRUTH!
Mat 24:37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also
the coming of the Son of man be.
Mat 24:38 For as in the days that were before the flood
they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day
that Noe entered into the ark,
Mat 24:39 And knew not until the flood came, and took
them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Mar 13:33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not
when the time is.
Luk 21:34 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.
Luk 21:35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that
dwell on the face of the whole earth.
Luk 21:36 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.
In Noah's day they
did NOT believe.
In Noah's day they
were NOT looking for a flood.
In Noah's day they did NOT care.
In Noah's day they did NOT care.
In Noah's day they
WERE self indulgent in EVERY WAY.
In Noah's day they
were DESTROYED! ALL of them were destroyed!
The unbelievers will
not be watching and praying for the Lord's return.
The unbelievers in
the truth will be eager to snatch up any theory they can that allows them to
indulge in their own selfishness.
The unbelievers will
be caught in the snare that was perfectly VISIBLE, a snare that they choose to
ignore!
2Co 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded
the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of
Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
The minds are NOT
blinded without consent. Satan is ever ready to blind all and will not miss a
single opportunity to do so.
People hear the
truth and because it brings light to the dark things in their lives they grow
uncomfortable and as that uncomfortable feeling hits they shrink back and when
they shrink back Satan is right there ready to ease blinder upon their eyes,
telling them they don't have to follow ALL the truth. He tells them they can
pick and choose the truth they want to follow, but he LIES.
Is it easy following
our Savior?
NO!
It's the hardest
thing anyone will ever do.
People have the
entire host of Satan's fallen angels on his side to bring down upon anyone who
dares to follow all of Christ's truth.
Mat 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is
the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be
which go in thereat:
Mat 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the
way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Please LORD help us
all to FIND the narrow way, the strait gate, the way of LIFE all in YOU by YOUR
righteousness! All through Your LOVE! ALWAYS!
