We are surely living in an unprecedented time. Never before has there been such a frenzy over the Biblical end time prophecies. Mark Biltz and Jonathan Cahn, who were unknown men before, are now household names with their books showing up on most bookstore shelves. Blood Moons. Market crashes. Nuclear wars. Harbingers. Shemitahs. What on earth is going on?
The Bible has a lot to say about what will happen in the last days. For some, this information is difficult to understand, so many people don't bother to study it. A lot of clergy don't want to preach on it for fear of provoking fear in their churches. People want to put their heads in the sand and pretend life will go on forever as it has. Eat, drink and be merry.
As in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.
People were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage,
up to the day Noah entered the ark.
And they knew nothing about what would happen
until the flood came and took them all away.
This is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.
~Matthew 24:37-39
How can anyone know for sure what is about to happen, and how can one prepare? First of all, each one of us needs to be sure we have Jesus Christ as our own personal Savior. Without Him as our Lord, we don't stand a chance of escaping the wrath of God that's coming. If you haven't done so, do it now. If you need help in this, click on this website's "Who Needs To Believe" link at the end of this, and there will be Bible verses to guide you. And contact a Pastor of a Bible believing church for more help.
Secondly, we need to be informed on the prophetic events that are coming upon us. Being educated in prophecy makes one equipped to stay focused on the important matters and to make the necessary preparations. God gives His people a heads up on things, whereas the world has no clue.
What is interesting today is that the events that are going on in our world are aligning themselves up with the prophecies in the Bible. These are actual proofs that we are truly living in the last days! But what is going on that we should be concerned about?
There is a site by Scottie Clarke that outlines how the current events, both global and astronomical, are fitting in with the Biblical end times calendar. Surprisingly, and almost overwhelmingly, is the month of September of 2015, which begins tomorrow as I write. There are so many events that will take place in the next 30 days alone, that it is difficult for my own head to absorb! Scottie has done hours of research, and has compiled this information for us so that we can make our own decisions on what to expect. At the end of this is a link of his site for you to check out.
Though Jesus tells us that no one knows the day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, not the Son, but only the Father, He does tell us to be ready for His return, as it will come when we least expect it. I love the story about the 10 maidens who were waiting for their bridegroom to come. Since it was night time and darkness surrounded them, they all had lamps, but only half of them kept enough oil to keep them lit. If all of them had been prepared, then they would have gone with him when he came for them. But half of them ran out of oil, and while they went to buy some, they missed out on the bridegroom. The door stayed closed and they weren't allowed to go. So it is with all of us. We need, especially at this time, to keep looking for Jesus' return for His Bride, which is all true believers in Him. We need to keep the oil flowing, which is to be filled with the Holy Spirit. Don't ever let it run out. When you least expect it, though you know it is imminent, He will come. Will you be ready?
