(We’re In The Very Last Days)

TO THE BIBLE: 1 Corinthians 15:51-52
“Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed—in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.”

LET’S TALK
When reading about the last days in the Bible, it’s necessary to consider the context first, followed by the writer’s message.

The “Last Days,” as they are frequently mentioned in the Bible, refer to the days preceding the millennial period. And the prophets who used those terms specifically did not include the Church age.

So, when we speak of the last days, we’re not referring to the Jewish Calendar as provided by the prophets but to the days before the Lord returns for His Church.

There are numerous indicators that should alert you to where we are now and how much time the world has before the judgements of the nations begin.

As a result, no matter where you are today, I want you to know that Jesus is on His way. There are those of us who believe this and are waiting for Him.

Some others don’t believe He’s coming, and, thus, aren’t expecting Him. But He is coming, and He is coming for those who “…love his appearing” (2 Timothy 4:8 KJV), those who are looking forward to Him.

“Blessed are those servants whom the master, when he comes, will find watching…” (Luke 12:37), those who say, “…Even so, come, Lord Jesus” (Revelation 22:20).

From today, live your life waiting for and expecting Him. Remember, He levitated out of this world about two thousand years ago.

All of the prophecies about His coming are being fulfilled right before our eyes. Most importantly, He said, “…Surely I am coming quickly…” (Revelation 22:20).

He’s on His way to take His Church. Do you belong to His Church? On that day, it will not be a gradual process; it will happen in an instant, in the blink of an eye; we will be raptured out of this world to meet the Lord in the air.

Don’t be caught off guard. Maintain your faith in Christ, in righteousness, and in living for Him.

Pray:
Dear Father, thank you for the blessing and ministry of the Holy Spirit in my life, who guides and keeps me on the path of righteousness as I await your glorious return. I pray even now, for those who are yet to receive the Gospel, that they be pricked in their hearts by the message of the saving grace of Christ and experience the peace and assurance that come from receiving this glorious Gospel, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
