I know that I always talk about Jesus returning. I talk about it because it is true. The things that are going on in the world prove it. The Word of God tells us of all of these things that will happen before Jesus returns to earth. The question is this, will we be ready when Jesus returns? Will we be ready to stand before Him in Judgement? If not, we had better get ourselves right before Him before that day comes.
2 Peter 1:19-21-We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place until the day dawn and the day star arise in your hearts: Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the Scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. (KJV)
We know that the Word of God is inspired by the Holy Spirit. We know that nothing can be added to it, and nothing can be taken from it. This is why if we want to know about the return of Jesus, we must study the Word of God. All of the answers are in the Word. We do not know when Jesus will return, but He will come like a thief in the night at last trumpet sound.
Some will be taken up, but there will be those who will be left behind when the rapture happens. This is why it is important to study so we will know what’s going to happen when that day comes. We do not want to be unknowing. We may ask why God preserved these prophecies for us? The Great God is working out a marvelous purpose here below, nationally and individually. We need to study God’s inspired prophecies if we wish to understand His purpose.
Everything God tells us in His Word is true. We need to take heed of what He is telling us. He would never have left this for us if it were not important for us to know. We are important to God. He created us, we are the sheep of His pasture. We are His children. He knows that we all will have questions about the things He has written. He knows that we do not understand everything.
Will we be ready when Jesus returns?
