1 Peter 4:7
But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers.
I am sure that you have heard all of the media attention to the fact that the Mayan calendar is suppose to end on this date and the end of the world will come. There have been predictions of calamity and destruction of unparalleled levels.
Ooops! If you are reading this on or after the 20th of December, you will know that man’s predictions of the end have not proven true. Far too often we hear predictions of the end, but as in all cases there is no way for us to be able to do so. That is for God to decide and God alone to determine. In fact we are told in Matthew 24:36, that the angels nor even the Lord Jesus knows when the time will come. Only God the Father knows!
From what I have determined from my study of Bible prophecy is that there are no further prophecies that must be fulfilled before the Lord appears to call His church to that wonderful home that has been prepared for us. Even so, come quickly Lord Jesus!
With the return of Christ near at hand there is much work for us to do. We live in the midst of a lost and dying world. The word of hope and salvation that the lost need to hear should be on our tongue. As people see Jesus in us, we need to be ready to share the gospel message with them and have their name written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!
