A Message To Believers

The Lord is coming again!!

He is returning for his people, and we must be ready!

Look around. And be aware of these signs that God has given this generation:


"Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written in it, for the time is near."
 Revelation 1:3

"Remember, then, what you received and heard. Keep it, and repent. If you will not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come against you"
 Revelation 3:3

"For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places."
 Matthew 24:7

"There will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and pestilences. And there will be terrors and great signs from heaven."
 Luke 21:11

"And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth distress of nations in perplexity because of the roaring of the sea and the waves,"
 Luke 21:25

"The sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the great and awesome day of the Lord comes."
 Joel 2:31

"...Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase."
 Daniel 12:4b

"But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people."
 2 Timothy 3:1-5

 "Now the spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons,"
 1 Timothy 4:1

"...scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own sinful desires. They will say, "Where is the promise of his coming?"..."
 2 Peter 3:3b-4a

"Then, after doing all those things, I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your old men will dream dreams, and your young men will see visions... before that great and terrible day of the Lord arrives."
Joel 2:28b-31b

"And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
 Matthew 24:14

"Now when these things begin to take place, straighten up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near."
 Luke 21:28

"Watch ye therefore, and pray always that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man."
 Luke 21:36


 The end is coming, and I believe it is coming very soon. No man, angel, or even Jesus knows the date that the Lord will return, but God instructed his believers to be watchful and to know the season of his return.


"From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts out its leaves, you know that summer is near. So also, when you see all these things, you know that he is near at the very gates. Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place."
 Matthew 24:32-34


We are in the season of the end times, my friends, and while we prepare for these terrifying and glorious days ahead (to quote from Jan Markell), "let us always look back and thank him, look around and serve him, look ahead and trust him, and look up and expect him."

Do not be caught unaware and become one of the ones who are left behind.
