Coming from Heaven
Great earthquakes will occur in various places, and there will be famines and pestilence. And there will be terrors and great signs from heaven.
- Luke 21:11
Worldwide famine in these days when there should be none tells us that Jesus is coming. The major crisis now is a lack of food even though farmers can produce enough food to feed every starving person in the world, yet famine abounds.
There have been more earthquakes worldwide in the last fifteen years than in the other eight decades of the last century. New and powerful strains of bacteria emerge to mock the efforts of doctors to fight them. Diseases, pandemics, lack of supplies, and fear is what we hear in the News...
Jesus warned us that in these times men's hearts would fail them for fear (Luke 21:26), but He was not talking about you. The people who fear the turbulent events of these times are those who do not understand what is happening--but you do! Every newscast that tells us of these events is a reminder to us of our blessed hope--Jesus will come soon to take His church to heaven.
Are you ready for His return? Is your family ready? Do you have a neighbor, friend, or work associate that you need to tell today about Jesus? How tragic it would be if you looked over the abyss of hell at the final judgment and recognized the face of someone you knew on the other side--spending hell in eternity Don't let that happen. Tell someone you know today about Jesus!
Lord Jesus, give me the courage and the words to witness Your saving love and power this day. Prepare me your return. Amen.
