The Lord is Coming

I think every Christian needs to be reminded of this.  With what is going on all around us, we need this promise to stand on and not be shaken, and that is, the Lord is coming back and maybe sooner then we think.

Years ago there seemed to be so many more people that at least accepted the fact that there was a Creator.  Today seems to be a much different environment with the teaching of evolution and prayer taken from our schools as well as the various teachings that flood the airways which are mostly antichrist teaching.  Even cartoons are teaching children to reject Christ and His church!  

There are many false teachers, cults abound and even many in our government stand against Christianity or anything to do with the Lord and His teachings.  Our judicial system, with so many liberal judges, seems to be standing against the Constitution and legislating from the bench and their own translation of the laws.  Our rights are being taken away right before our very eyes.  There is more and more persecution taking place against believers today than, maybe, ever before.

Many of our colleges are very antichrist in their teaching, even some that were Christian colleges at one time.  Many young people that were in church before they went to college don’t return to church after college. Satan has come in like a flood but he will only be able to go so far and the Holy Spirit will put a stop to his destructive ways and not everyone will be deceived.  The Bible says for God’s elect, “When the enemy comes in like a flood the Spirit of God will raise a standard against him.”  “No weapon formed against us shall prosper.”  “Greater is He that is within us than he that is in the world.”  If you don’t have these verses memorized you should take the time to do it!  

Never forget that God is in control and it may look like the devil is winning but he will be thrown into the lake of fire someday along with all the evil ones that stand with him now.

The Bible says in 2 Peter 3:3–10, “Most importantly, I want to remind you that in the last days scoffers will come, mocking the truth and following their own desires. They will say, ‘What happened to the promise that Jesus is coming again? From before the times of our ancestors, everything has remained the same since the world was first created.’  They deliberately forget that God made the heavens by the word of his command, and he brought the earth out from the water and surrounded it with water. Then he used the water to destroy the ancient world with a mighty flood. And by the same word, the present heavens and earth have been stored up for fire. They are being kept for the day of judgment, when ungodly people will be destroyed.  But you must not forget this one thing, dear friends: A day is like a thousand years to the Lord, and a thousand years is like a day. The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent. But the day of the Lord will come as unexpectedly as a thief. Then the heavens will pass away with a terrible noise, and the very elements themselves will disappear in fire, and the earth and everything on it will be found to deserve judgment.”

So I have reminded you of these things, don’t lose heart and throw in the towel our redemption is closer than you think, praise God!!  Have a great day and don’t forget to thank and praise the Lord.
