Light in the Last Days – Day 60

Remember how often our parents said, “I told you NOT to…” followed by a warning we ignored? In my 44 years of walking with the Lord, I’ve heard only a handful of sermons on the end times. It’s rarely a popular topic behind the pulpit, which is baffling considering prophecy makes up nearly a third of the Bible. Would you settle for only two-thirds of an audiobook? Certainly not! I would notice the missing pieces immediately, especially in a book I’ve studied time and again.

Today, we have no excuse for ignorance. Between physical Bibles, apps, and the internet, the Truth is at our fingertips. God will hold this generation accountable for having the key to the mansion but refusing to unlock the door. We have total access to the message of eternal life; to ignore it is a tragedy.

Preaching on prophecy followed a similar pattern until recently. Before the pandemic, few voices were teaching this subject online. However, that global shutdown forced a breakthrough, creating a digital highway for the Word. Now, a believer isn’t limited by geography; you can access powerful, biblical preaching from across the globe with a single click. What an incredible resource for the days we live in! But having the resource isn’t the same as having a revival. If people were truly flocking to these truths, our lands would look different. We must remember that prophecy wasn’t given to satisfy curiosity, but to prepare the Church and open the eyes of those who are still lost.

Revelation 1:1-3  The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:  (2)  Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.  (3)  Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.

We are witnesses to prophetic history … are you paying attention to the signs that have already been checked off the list? Make sure you are listening to preaching that fuels your faith to live by God’s Word. The message for the hour is simple but profound: stop looking at the chaos around you and start looking upward! Our Blessed Hope is on the horizon.

Luke 21:28  And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

As we witness Bible prophecy being fulfilled before our eyes, we can rest in the absolute certainty that the remaining promises will come to pass. Not a single prophecy from the Bible in history has failed, and the future will be no different. We hold the prophetic blueprint in our hands, detailed and complete. Jesus will follow this divine plan down to the smallest “jot and tittle.” When God speaks a word into the future, it is as certain as if it has already happened.

Matthew 5:18  For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

Friend, you must be born again in order to participate, no matter what viewpoint you hold. Friend, if you are not born again, it is no coincidence that God has placed you here for such a time as this so that you may be saved if you are not already. Don’t you want to be a part of the Church when she is raptured into the clouds to meet Jesus?

Any Day Now – Day 60

How many times did our parents say, “I told you NOT to ….” (fill in the blank). I have been saved for 44 years and I have heard maybe one handful of sermons about the end times. It does not seem to be a popular topic for preachers. I wonder why? I mean, nearly one-third of the Bible is about prophecy! Would you want to hear only two-thirds of any audio book? Not me! I would notice missing parts if it was a book I read more than once.

We have all that we need at our fingertips: we have a physical paper Bible, we have apps, we have the Internet, we have audio Bibles. There is no excuse to tell God you didn’t know or you never heard. God will hold those living in the end times accountable for having access to eternal life and yet not accessing it. It’s like having a key to a beautiful mansion but choosing not to use it!

Such is preaching on the topic of prophecy. Before the world came to a stand still during the pandemic, there were few preachers teaching on the subject on the Internet. The only good thing that came out of the pandemic, in my opinion, is that it opened a gateway for the Church to share the Gospel online. YouTube is now filled with Church services being streamed. A believer is no longer limited to brick and mortar to find good preaching. One can be watching and listening to godly messages from thousands of miles away. What a blessing this is in these end times!!!

So now that we have this wonderful privilege, are people rushing to listen and watch? Not as much as I thought there were. If that were the case, there would have been great revival in the lands. God gave us Bible prophecy to bless His people so that they would know in advance the plans that He had for these end times. He also gave it to open the eyes of the lost so they could be saved!

Rev 1:1-3  The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:  (2)  Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.  (3)  Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.

Are you reading about prophecies which have already come to past? Are you hearing good preaching that encourage you to keep those things which God has written in His Word? He’s telling us to keep looking upward!

Luk 21:28  And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

As we see all of Bible prophecy coming to past, we know that those that have not yet happened will because there is not one prophecy up until now that has not come true. We have the prophetic blueprint and it’s all outlined for us; every single detail! Jesus will follow His blueprint right down to the smallest jot and tittle! When God says something will happen, it’s as good as done!

Mat 5:18  For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
