Jesus the King of Kings really is coming back.

Gentle Rain

“No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.” Mat. 24:36,37. NIV

JESUS WILL BE COMING BACK

Bam! Those two verses sure have bought a lot of controversy down through the ages. We know a few things that are for certain.

1. Jesus is coming back.

2. No one knows when except the Father God.

3. The time will be like as it was in the days of Noah.

Jesus really is coming back.  He inherited everything from His Holy Father and He will rule this earth like iron. We just do not know when. The only one who knows the exact timing of this grand event is our Holy Father. One of the hints that Jesus gave to us in these verses is that the times on the earth would be “as it was in the days of Noah.”  Before the great flood, it was party time all of the time right up to the day the flood came and took them all away. Jesus said, “that is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.”

It will be business as usual for most people. Coffee and breakfast in the mornings, then off to work. There will continue to be weddings, divorces, children will continue to be born and wars will continue to happen while the same crime scene continues to worsen at the home front.  We will continue to have new mega amounts of scientific knowledge of “spirituality” for new answers to water our anti-Christian belief system. Christianity will seem as old fashioned and even twisted to some minds.  There are already those who are completely astounded that there are still those who believe in the saving grace of Jesus Christ.

What else was it like before the great flood?

In Genesis 6:5-6 we read, “The Lord saw how great man’s wickedness on the earth had become, and that EVERY INCLINATION (imaginations) OF THE THOUGHTS OF HIS HEART WAS ONLY EVIL ALL OF THE TIME.  The Lord was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain.”

Everything these people thought about was evil and they were proud of it. Today, we actually celebrate over serial killers, psychopaths and sociopaths. We cannot seem to get enough bloodshed and gore in our living rooms as we click the remote to pick the killing for the night. It is almost like the days in Rome when they would throw the saints to the lions while others watched and roared.  It is trendy to have the DNA of a sociopath. They even chuckle over it. It is trendy to choose an alternative lifestyle rather than a conventional way of life. It is trendy to worship Idols instead of the Son of God who was sacrificed for your sins.  

Rev. Billy Graham once said, “America needs to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah.” If we are honest with ourselves and what we see out there, we know it is true.

Did we ever think we’d see the day when an elementary school was shot up killing our children? We are living “as in the days of Noah.” Make no mistake about it. Unfortunately, it isn't over yet.

But what can we do? If you already have accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord, you need to re-examine your heart and remember to stay confessed up. Be watchful and ready praying always for those who need prayer. Keep a clean heart it is the wellspring of your life. Be sure to watch what you put inside of it and remember to tell others about God’s great love.

If you do not know Jesus as your Savior, there is no better time than to accept Him as your Lord and Savior than right now. Believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Pray and confess your sins to Him and ask forgiveness. He was a perfect and complete sacrifice shedding his blood for you. You will be set free from your sins, your fears and eventually your habits. Surrender and repent. Give Him your whole life and turn deliberately away from your former life. God will help you and be with you the whole way.  Buy a good Bible and find a good Bible believing Church to help you grow and gain strength.  Be patient, God wants to do a big work inside of you, so you can be a shining star in His family and help others who need help.

John 3:16-17

King James Version (KJV)

¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

¹⁷ For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
