MESSAGE
The Bible tells us about the things that will
happen to mark the end of this world and the beginning of eternal life.
Beginning with the rapture, there will be extreme joy for those that will be
found on the Lord’s side, while there will be extreme pain and sorrow for those
that will be found on the devil’s side. Open Heavens Tuesday 13 December 2016:-
signs of the last days. As the curtain begins to be drawn over the activities
of this world, the trumpet will sound. Then, Jesus Christ will appear physically
in the sky with overwhelming glory, to raise the dead, judge the world, destroy
every opposition to God, and consummate His everlasting Kingdom.
Believers from the Bible days prepared for His
return, waiting the eagerness and joy, but rapture didn’t happen. It was with
this in mind that the disciples asked Jesus questions about what would be the
signs of the last days in Matthew 24:3:
“… the disciples came unto him privately,
saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy
coming, and of the end of the world?”
The same two important questions that the whole
world still asks till date are: when shall these things be? What shall be the
signs? Fortunately, the Bible does not beat around the bush about the first
question (when), Jesus clearly states that nobody knows the exact time except
the father. Note that Jesus preceded the answer with a warning, “Take heed that
no man deceive you”. Open heavens devotional 2016.
Never believe anyone that gives you a date or
timetable for the Second Coming of Jesus, no matter how advanced the
mathematical theory may seem. Jesus however spoke extensively on the signs of
the last days; the Bible has enough information to help Christians make
adequate preparations for the Second Coming of Christ. Matthew 24:1-15 speaks
volumes and 1st Timothy 4:1 says:
“Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the
latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits,
and doctrines of devil;”
The key things to look out for are these; false
prophets, lovers of self, wars and rumours of war, famines, pestilences,
earthquakes, persecution, betrayal, iniquity shall abound, the love of many
shall wax cold, some shall depart from the faith, seducing spirits, doctrines
of devils, hypocrisy. All these are presently happening at an alarming rate all
over the world. Children of God should pay special attention to false prophets
with teachings that are contrary to the Word of God. Any teaching that cannot
be substantiated with the Bible belongs to the devil; avoid them and their
messages like a plague. Be warned.
Prayer Point
Lord Jesus, please send the fire of revival to
keep me burning for You till Your Second Coming.
