FATHER promised a specific blessing to those who read and obey!
We are in the last days of the last days. Are you ready? Recently, I posted an interview with Rick Renner and a separate YouTube video with Joseph Morris. There is no question that the last days are upon us. We must not disregard the prophecies not only contained in the Book of Revelation but are referenced elsewhere in Scripture.
We will be blessed if we read, listen, and obey the Words Jesus spoke in the Book of Revelation. Many believers have not actually read this one Book of the New Testament even though it is the only Book with a specific blessing tied to it.
Peter recorded by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Peter chapter 3:
2 So never forget both the prophecies spoken by the Holy prophets of old and the teaching of our Lord and Savior spoken by your apostles.
3 Above all, you must understand that in the last days mockers (deceivers) will multiply, chasing after their evil desires.
4 They will say, “So what about this promise of His coming? Our ancestors are dead and buried, yet everything is still the same as it was since from the beginning of time until now.”
We must not let those who want to deceive us move our focus away from our individual callings in anticipation of His return. They have failed to understand something:
5 But they conveniently overlook that from the beginning, the heavens and earth were created by God’s Word. He spoke and the dry ground separated from the waters.
6 Then long afterward He destroyed the world with a tremendous flood by those very waters.
7 And now, by the same powerful Word, the heavens and the earth are reserved for fire, being kept for judgment day, when all the ungodly will perish.
8 So, dear friends, don’t let this one thing escape your notice: a single day counts like a thousand years to the Lord YAHWEH, and a thousand years counts as one day.
FATHER’S timing isn’t our timing. The scoffers fail to see that FATHER’S handiwork is everywhere, from the smallest microbe to the vast galaxies above. They are simply blinded by their own opinions and their inability to hear! Notice the importance the Peter placed on the Second Coming over all the other aspects of the Christian walk.
Consider the following:
- The return of Jesus is the second-most frequently mentioned topic in the entire Bible.
- It is mentioned 318 times in the New Testament.
- One out of every thirty verses in the New Testament mentions some aspect of the return of Jesus.
- Only four books in the New Testament don’t discuss the return of Jesus, twenty-three do. The books that don’t mention the return are Philemon, 2nd John, 3rd John, and Galatians.
- Both Luke and Matthew take practically two entire chapters to expound on Jesus’ second coming, and Mark takes one full chapter.
- The entire last Book of The Bible is dedicated exclusively to end time events.
Paul’s dealing with the Galatian church sadly focused on correction.
He wrote by The Holy Spirit in Galatians chapter 3:
1 O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you that you should not obey the Truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed among you as crucified?
2 This only I want to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
3 Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh?
If GOD WHO is perfect in Wisdom, gives this much attention to the second coming of Jesus in the Holy Scriptures, what should our commitment to reading, teaching, and discussing end-time events?
