But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together. 1 Thessalonians 5:11-17 KJV
Many people mock the end times and continue living like life is forever one big party. There will come a time when the Lord returns and even some churches will be caught unaware because they aren’t preparing those who attend.
One day there will be no more tears, pain, heartache, fights, but the Lord will indeed come back with a shout. Many scriptures speak of that. Those who have drifted along thinking being born in the US or being baptized into a certain church is all they need will be shocked. God will say depart from me I never knew you.
Do you want to be left behind for the great tribulation all the while kicking yourself that you poked fun at ‘religious’ people or do you want to get serious about entering his kingdom?
PRAYER: Lord my heart grieves for those who scoff at what they call religious fanatics and yet go on living as they please with no thought of eternity. Prayers for everyone to get serious about sharing Christ. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
