"But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober". (1 Thes. 5:1-6)
These words could very well be our own words, addressed to faithful Christians in these days that are faithful to their Lord and Master in the midst of turbulent world events, universal confusion and worldly currents that daily surround and threaten those who are waiting for, “that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;” (Titus 2:13).
There is one thing that has kept Gods servants throughout the ages and that is the hope of seeing the Divine Face of God Our Saviour. King David said: “I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.” (Psalm 27:13). To this day the believers in Jesus Christ the Lord have obtained the strength to continue forward just like David, the prophets, and the apostles did, through this glorious and blessed hope.
The reason I am writing is to stir up my brother and sister who at times feel as if they cannot continue on under the burden, to open your eyes and behold all of the great signs that surround us and are undoubtedly announcing: “He that shall come will come, and will not tarry.” (Heb. 10:37) Gods prophetic clock has incessantly been marking time announcing that the day is already at hand and very soon the King of kings and LORD of lords, our God and Savior JESUS will appear in the clouds with power and great glory.
In these last days the parable of the fig tree (Israel) has not only received the attention of the believers who wait for the LORD, but of the whole world. The events that have been taking place have caused a chain reaction which in turn has provoked the UN (United Nations) to have many meetings where the principal purpose and the main treatise is “LET THERE BE PEACE” and this is heard around the World. As humans we desire peace in the world, at the same time we cannot ignore the warning given through Gods Word from our initial Scripture.
The portion of Scripture I used is very clear and doesn’t need much explanation. We just have to believe and hope. This next admonition is also very clear: “But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.” (1 John 1:7).
According to the prophecies in God’s Word the days that lie ahead are going to be the most difficult. The different signs that are listed in the tract “The Time is Fulfilled” is an undeniable reality today, and everything, everything, is pointing to that most terrifying day (The Coming of the LORD) for the world that is living in darkness, but the most glorious and marvelous day for the children of light.
Israel will continue to be harassed by its enemies, because peace cannot and will not be achieved by men, since the only One who will establish peace is the Prince of Peace, Our LORD JESUS (Is. 9:6), and He will do this, when men say: “PEACE AND SAFETY”. How long until this happens? Not too much longer. In the meantime, the APOSTATE CHURCH will continue to SLEEP, but the FAITHFUL CHURCH will be WATCHING and WAITING for their LORD.
Do not faint, my brother, MARCH ON to THE GOAL! God bless you.
