Picture this: Near the great Throne of God in heaven is a huge golden bell. It is on a majestic stand within reach of His mighty hand. The angels are lined up, fixing their gaze on Him. Jesus is beside Him, on His right side, and He is watching His Father also. At any moment, God will raise His hand and let it fall on the bell...
In the book of Matthew, chapter 13, Peter, James, John and Andrew are with Jesus in the Mount of Olives, across from the temple. Jesus tells them that the temple will be destroyed. They ask Him, "Tell us, when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are all about to be fulfilled?" Jesus goes on to explain the things that will happen in the last days. Terrible and awful things which we have never witnessed, but He said we will in the end times.
Verse 32 says, "No one knows about that day or hour, and even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." I find this interesting that even Jesus didn't know! Only the heavenly Father does.
Friends, we are in the last days, and events that were prophecized in the Scriptures are being fulfilled. We are getting very close to the Father making the decision to put an end to this evil world by sending His Son to gather His Saints. When He does, in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye...
Jesus said "Be on guard! Be alert! You do not know when that time will come. What I say to you, I say to everyone, 'Watch!'" - Matthew 13:33-37
