Matthew 24:36-44
36: But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels in heaven , but my Father only.
37: But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38: For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
39: And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
40: Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
41: Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
42: Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
43: But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
44: Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
If ever there was a simple way to explain what is about to happen on the earth this is it...
Many people know the story of Noah and the ark. There is a reason he is mentioned in Matthew by our Lord Jesus. There is another cleansing process going to take place on this earth but it is only through the blood of Jesus that we can now be cleansed. It is only through faith in Jesus Christ that we can escape the devastation that is going to fall upon the wicked. It is only through Jesus Christ that we can come into a right relationship with the TRUE AND LIVING GOD OF THE UNIVERSE. There are many false gods out there beckoning the unsuspecting, beckoning them, beguiling them, tricking and deceiving them. These false gods offer a supernatural experience but it is a counterfeit. Only once the unsuspecting innocent has been stripped of their dignity and all they hold dear, will these false gods show their ugly faces. We are the Noahs of our day. We are the ones who are supposed to be crying out in the wilderness. We are the ones who are supposed to be making sure these innocents are not deceived. Jesus is the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE, there is no way unto the FATHER, but by him. We know the TRUTH, and the TRUTH has set us free, it is our responsibility to share the TRUTH so that others will be set free also. Jesus said follow me and I will make you fishers of men. Are we fishing? Or just enjoying the feast?
Father,
Forgive us for forgetting the great commission that Jesus set before us. Forgive us for our indifference towards those around us. Forgive us for allowing the flame of our first love to wax cold. Father fan the flame again. Father fill our hearts with a burning fire. Consume us with your fire Father. Redirect our steps. Redirect our agendas. Redirect our time. Redirect our lives towards being a living sacrifice to you, in Jesus' name. Amen
