Revelation!


 The end of times - or eschatology, can we see the signs?

Revelation was given to John, the beloved disciple of Jesus.  And John was told to write down the things that he witnessed in this Revelation.

Liken the end of times to birth pangs.  (This is a Biblical reference).  

And then think on what has happened in the last 75 years.

The state of Israel was born in a single day.  We have taken the steps and walked on the moon.  We have communication that is lightening fast. 

We can communicate through so many different media.  We can fly all around the world.  We can speed along highways.  We can see people in other places on screens in our homes.

Faster and faster.  Also we, who believe in eschatology know that this earth will be destroyed and so will the heavens.  That is why we do not need to concentrate on "saving the planet".  Obviously we should not willingly contribute to the destruction of this earth, but that should not be our main focus.

So, what should we focus on?  We should focus on our eternal homes and what we are doing to get there.  The things of this world need to grow strangely dim and we need to worry far more about our salvation and the salvation of others than what we are going to do to save this planet.

Look back two thousand years ago when Jesus came to this earth.  The fastest mode of transport were horses and camels.  There were no phones.  There was no flight of man.  Then see how far we have come and how quickly things have changed in the last one hundred years, and tell me that you do not see the end of times!  Are we ready to meet Jesus in the clouds?

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, today I thank YOU that YOU sent YOUR Son Jesus Christ, who told us that we need to see the end of times.  And FATHER, let us see that the birth is now imminent and let us be fully prepared to meet Jesus.  I pray this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay truly GOD blessed today!
