Honestly, we deceive ourselves with a spirit of delusion to not take heed to the physical signs of judgement that God is bringig upon this planet. God has laid out in tbe gospels, the letters of his servants, and the book of Revelation tbe things that take place prior to his coming. And these come from a mericiful loving heavenly Father to warn us that the time is near and we are to be about the business of his kingdom. That business is to tell men that must turn to God in repentance and have faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.
God has warned us, consustantly, in the New Testament to watch and pray. Paul admonished us to understand the present time and to wake up from our slumber. For our salvation is nearer now than we first believed. God is telling us that an hour of urgency is here. Not panic but urgency. To be about tbe things of Christ. And yet some of you still want to debate this.
There is a tendancy on the part of some to dismiss those who say take heed to tbe urgency of the hour. They are accused to revelling in judgement and condemnation. Those who warn are accused of being unloving. Dwelling on gloom. And s forth.
Those who dismiss tbe watchman say focus on tbe liove and finished work of Christ of Christ on tbe cross. He has born our judgement. Those who dismiss the watchman are implying the watchman does not belueve that God has born our judgement upon the cross.
Saints tbe watchman believes in tbe work of redemption and the finished work of Christ kn tbe cross. But tbe scriptures teach that God is returnng to this planet and has given signs to tell of his coming. And because of that urgency the watchmen cry for the redeemed to wake up and tbe unsaved to flee to the finished work of Christ. To find salvstion in him.
Tell me, was the weather forcaster who warned people in the Northeast about Sandy and its destruction accused of giving bad news. Were the meteoroligist accused of gloom and doom when they warned tbe people to prepare for tbe coming storm. I can hear it now. Oh nan. I wish that weather person would stop talking about a superstorm and focus on a sunny weather picture.
Indeed Jesus was right when he said that tbe people of this age are more shrewed then are tbe sons of light. At least tbe people of this age will heed tbe weather reports. They will take physical preparations.
Tragically Christians, and perhaps some in this forum, dismiss the warnings of scripture about tbe soon return of Jesus Christ. They will relegate tbe warnings to some far off fictional event. They will be tbe ones saying peace and safety. Yes, they will say they are saved by Jesus. But ignore tbe urgency of tbe hour and the things that are happening.kn tbe earth. To speak of these things one will be accused of gloom and doom.
Dear saint. Wake up. A sjperstorm has devastated tbe Northeast. Scientist call it tbe storm of a lifetime. I know, many will say, Bear storms have always happened. They will rebuild and life will go back to tbe way ut was. But a few will awake and ask what are you saying in tbis hour dear God? How do I respond to what transpired? Holy God what would you have me do? This will be the remnant Gos is calling to himself.
