Who What When

Matthew 24: ³⁶ “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. ³⁷ As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. ³⁸ For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; ³⁹ and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. ⁴⁰ Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. ⁴¹ Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.

Waiting was the horrible part. I did not know how the announcement would come or if I had even made it in. The principal called out names to the office over the loud speaker. My heart was elated. I had passed the test to get into the high school I wanted to attend!

• Sometimes I get anxious waiting.
• Sometimes I get impatient looking for something to happen.
• Sometimes I get jittery just sitting when I am expecting something to happen.

Humans have said “JESUS will return on X day at X hour.” Movies have been made about specific dates the world will end. This is strange because not even JESUS knows the day or the hour, only the FATHER knows.

• GOD wants me to seek HIM daily so I do not have to sit and wait.
• GOD wants me to prepare people for JESUS’s return so I need to focus only on that.
• GOD wants me to stop worrying about those who predict the end of the world and focus on making sure people believe in the SON.

The day is unknown but it will come quickly, like a thief in the night. GOD wants me to be ready.

• Are you ready for JESUS’s return?
• Do you think it is centuries away?
• Can you stop being skeptical about HIS return because of those who claim to know the day or the hour?
• Will you serve GOD today?
