He Is Drawing Near

And Jesus answered and said to them, See to it that no one misleads you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will mislead many. You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes. But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs.  Matthew 24:4-8 NASB

These are not times when we should be depending on our own strength, intelligence, knowledge, or natural abilities. The only way to be prepared for what is happening and for what will come is to invite Jesus Christ to be your Lord and Saviour, we need Holy Spirit to be in our lives, every day all day, God gives us wisdom and discernment and teaches us some vital postures to dwell in: (1) following Jesus (2) Bible reading (3) perseverance; (4) loving our neighbours (5) praying.

Only in these ways will our spiritual eyes be able to see what is coming and our spirits be ready to receive Holy Spirit’s wisdom to guide us to a good end in the midst of the storm.

My friends, we cannot make a move without Holy Spirit. God’s judgment on mankind’s rebellion, sin, and wickedness is coming to the earth. The revelations that Jesus Christ shared point to His appearing and His coming.  Read the Bible - There are a number of prophetic signs described in the books of Daniel, Matthew, Luke, and 1 Timothy - these aren't necessarily the only indicators of the last days, but they are significant and have been shared by Holy Spirit. 

Luke 21:25-28 NASB There will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay among nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves, men fainting from fear and the expectation of the things which are coming upon the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. But when these things begin to take place, straighten up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.

Jesus’ disciples asked Him about the sign of His coming and the end of the age because they understood that all seasons are identified by signs. Keep in mind that a Biblical sign represents a higher spiritual reality - we absolutely need God’s help to understand the scope of His divine warnings such as…. ..deception, false prophets, wars and rumors of wars, nation rising against nation, famine and pestilence, earthquakes, persecution of the church, offences, lawlessness, love growing cold, the preaching of the gospel in all the world, fear, an increase in knowledge, the shortening of time, the rebirth of the nation of Israel, apostasy (the abandonment or renunciation of a religious belief), perplexity, and shakings.
