THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES

During times like these where we see senseless killings, earthquakes, and natural disasters, we start to think about the end of the world that was predicted in the scriptures. We want to know who will be the anti-Christ and if he is here now. We start to look up names of people and count the number of letters in their name to see if it adds up to the number 666. There is nothing wrong with being

watchful. There is nothing wrong with reading Revelation. As a matter of fact, Jesus Christ said Himself in ***Revelation1:3 {GWT} Blessed is the one who reads, as well as those who hear the words of this prophecy and pay attention to what is written in it because the time is near.*** Most of us do the reading and the hearing but I don't think we do the pay attention to what is written. We seem to be more concerned about whom the anti-Christ will be instead of paying attention to why all this is going to happen and the blessings and rewards in the end to those who are faithful and obedient. Although Revelation can be hard to understand, God is very straight forward in what He approves and what He does not approve. What He will do to those who disobey and what He will do for those who do obey. How we will see that what He started, He will finish it. With all these things being said, it is so important that we stay in the race, encourage one another, and live a life that is holy and acceptable to God. When we read Revelation, that should be our motivation to continue on knowing that where Jesus is now, there we will be also. That He has prepared a place for us. A place with many mansions. A place that we are laboring on Earth for to receive the greatest reward where we will Sabbath forever and ever in heaven. AMEN!
