Matthew 24: God is COMING
Pre-Trib, Mid-Trib, Post-Trib. Millinial. Rapture. Wrath. Tribulation. Anti-Christ. The mark of the beast. One world government. Wars and rumors of wars. Persecution. Famine, disease and pestilence.
All those things are issues concerning the end of time that we argue about. Should we study end times? ABSOLUTELY. The book of Revelation and the supporting Scriptures THROUGHOUT the Bible should NOT be avoided and SHOULD be studied diligently. We should form an opinion concerning the end. We need to know the Truth about the tribulation, the rapture, the anti-christ and the end times. BUT… I wonder if in the midst of ALL our debating over the things of the end we have forgotten the greatest part about it.
Whether you believe in a pre-tribulation rapture, mid-trib or post-trib, we all believe the same thing is going to happen. Christ is COMING! He is COMING! Do we realize that? THAT my friends, is a Truth that offers hope. Christ went to prepare a place for us…and if He went, HE WILL RETURN (John 14).
In Matthew 24 Jesus says this “And they will see the Son of Man COMING on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.”
I LOVE studying end times and prophecy. I have my own opinion about the end, and it is a strong one. But I always say this. “I don’t think God is so concerned with us being RIGHT about the details concerning His return. Ultimately, I really think God just wants us ALL to be READY because He IS COMING.” I need to be ready for His return NOW, because He is COMING! I need to be ready to face persecution if need be, for He is COMING! I need to be ready to go through WHATEVER I may go through (pre, mid or post tribulation) for HE IS COMING!
What if He came today? What if He came after the tribulation? What if He doesn’t do it the way I think He will? Will I be ready? You better be. He is COMING!
Ready,
Jeff
