The Time Is Near

Summary: The end time is near. It is as close as your last breath. The day you die is the end of time for you. Jesus is coming back soon. It is sooner than people think.
TEXT: Revelation 3:3
"Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near."
TIME IS RUNNING OUT
The last book of the Holy Bible is a book of mysteries to many people as it is difficult to understand. However, one very clear thing about the book of Revelation is that it tells the events of the last days. - the end of time. This world as we know it will end and the time is near. The end time is near. It is as close as your last breath. The day you die is the end of time for you. Jesus is coming back soon. It is sooner than people think.
"This is all the more urgent, for you know how late it is; time is running out. Wake up, for our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed" (Rom 13:11NLT).
THE END OF TIME IS NEAR
The second coming of Jesus is around the corner. Nobody knows the actual day he will return. According to Jesus, “...no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself. Only the Father." Do not be received by men who prophecy falsely about the day Jesus will return. Only God, the Father knows.
Your duty is to prepare for that day. Romans 13:12-14 gives every believer a template of how to prepare. "The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy. Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh." The time is near.
Your time comes when you breathe your last. For every man or woman, the older you get, the nearer your time. Some scoffers argue that believers have been saying, the time is near for about 2,000 years, but nothing has happened (2 Peter 3:3-4). The cold reality is that the day you take your last breath on earth, your time ends. So, wake up and clothe yourself with Jesus and flee from worldly lusts. Repent and live righteously, for the time is near. Jesus is coming very, very soon.
PRAYER:
Father, help me to live my life for you and be conscious of your second coming on a daily basis in Jesus name.
CONFESSION:
I clothe my self with Jesus daily.
God bless you. Shalom.
