Today, in America we have Trump wanting to make America great again; Democrats wanting to impeach Trump; Liberals rallying with their own agenda; the LBGT fighting for their agenda; conservatives voicing opinions; and evangelical Christians are doing what????
Oh, yes, then you have your sports fanatics with constant conversations and chatter about the same topics that really do not matter.
Are we, as Christians, getting involved in all this mayhem? Yes, it is frustrating, makes one angry, and then frustration sets in because "what can we do?"
Could this have been a similar rhetoric in Jesus' days? The Jews vs the Gentiles (Democrats vs Republicans); Pharisees & Saducees vs Jesus ( Christians vs non-Christians).
There is a time coming when we know what will happen. The world, the WHOLE WORLD will abide by God's word; but, when will that happen?
I do not remember the exact numbers, however, I do believe over 2/3 of the Prophets predictions of the ends times have occurred. So when is the time?
In Matthew 8:29 - Jesus cast out demons at Gadara and the demons spoke to Jesus and said: " What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?"
In John 2:4 at the marriage at Cana, the first miracle Mary came to Jesus telling him the marriage ceremony is out of wine. Jesus' reply: Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.
At the feast of the tabernacles, John 7:6 some brethren urges Jesus to go into Judea so his disciples may see the works that he does. Jesus replied: My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready. Now, in verse 7 the Jews wanted to take hold of Jesus and kill him. Yes, he was a threat to them; hatred did abound. Jesus went to the tabernacle and was teaching. Yep, this made them angry and they sought to do away with him. However, in John 7:30 Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.
If you will read Matthew 24:32-39 the parable of the fig tree is presented in a fashion relating to Jesus' time. Matthew 24:36-37 you find: 36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
We don't know when that time is, however, we should be constantly aware and be ready; speak to our families and make certain they are ready; speak to our friends and neighbors and make certain they are ready. Ready for what? THE RETURN OF JESUS CHRIST!!
Take action now; don't wait!!! Thank you for reading. Love y'all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
