Be Ready!

Yesterday I looked at imminence and the fact that Jesus can come

at any moment. But is it important to anticipate the rapture? What 

does scripture say?

“...You must also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour

you do not expect.” (Luke 12:40)

“Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord

is coming.”  (Matthew 24:42)

“Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.” (Matthew 25:13)

But watch yourselves lest your hearts be weighed down with dissipation

and drunkenness and cares of this life, and that day come upon you

suddenly like a trap...” (Luke 21:34)

There are so many scriptures that deal with His coming and each one

is accompanied with examples of those who do not care, or are not

watching.  Read the chapters concerning what Jesus says in 

Luke 12, and 21, Matthew 24, and 25. Events today are played out 

in the very words spoken by Jesus. Surely, we are in a time of 

world-wide upheaval, uncertainty and apathy. The earth itself is groaning; 

earthquakes, and volcanic activity are reported daily. Ponder this: 

There is a day coming when everything will utterly and completely change. 

How then shall we live?
