"No one knows the day or the hour of the Lord's return, not even the angels in heaven or the Son Himself. Only the Father knows! Since you do not know when the time will come, be on guard, STAY ALERT, WATCH FOR HIM!
Are you anxiously awaiting the Lord's return? Do you expect that it will happen in your lifetime? In the past, many have predicted the Lord's return. No one has been correct. If the Son and the angels do not know the day or the hour of the Lord's return, what are the chances that any man or collection of men will be correct? It may be that predicting the Lord's return should be avoided by man! As a believer, however, the One Truth Today is that we should be on guard, STAY ALERT AND WATCH FOR HIM! Our prayer should be, Maranatha; come quickly Lord Jesus! How about you, do you look forward to and welcome the Lord's return?
Everyone, from the first disciples to the present day believer's want to know when the Lord will return and claim His Kingdom and His Church. We have all looked for signs that could indicate
His imminent return. We have studied the Word of God for anything that could indicate that the end of time is near! What we should have learned by now is that there will be no one who will know the day or the hour of the Lord's return. Only the Father knows when that event will happen. Our task from the Father is to STAY ALERT, WATCH FOR HIM, and be on guard! If
we are anxiously awaiting the Lord's return, we will be keeping Him first in our lives and in our thoughts!
Good advice is to be wide awake and full of the Spirit of God. If you want to be prepared for His return then keep the oil of the Spirit full in your lamp. Do not let the light go out in your walk with the Lord! Do not get lost in the cares of this world, but focus on your relationship with Jesus Christ the Lord God. Whatever your present circumstances, they should not come between you and the Lord. You can be deathly ill, in prison or in the midst of a war, but you need to STAY ALERT, WATCH FOR HIM! Our expectation is to have the joy of being in heaven with the Lord, and remain there with Him forever. Do not let anything or anyone get in the way of that dream. We are told to "look up for our redemption draws nigh"! Be ready, be on guard, STAY ALERT, WATCH FOR HIM!
