THE ELEVENTH HOUR

     My blogs are about urgency.  My blogs are about imminent danger, the enemy at the gates, the 11th hour.  The 11th hour denotes danger, do not go there, be prepared, or go another way.
     My agreement, therefore, is with the Word of God, which is to say we are living in the last days.  If you have a Bible, I urge you to read it.  If you do not have one, I urge you to get one and read it.  For the prophecies concerning the last days are here now, and the prophecies of God have a 100% success rate.
     Reading the Bible today is like reading a daily newspaper of events that were foretold centuries ago.  For in the 24th chapter of the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus goes to great length to explain what will happen in the last days.  Those events are happening now.
    Even as Jesus taught us to pray in a passage of Scripture we call the Lord's prayer, He said, deliver us from evil.  Who, then, can deliver us from evil?  It is Christ!  It was He who died for the sins of the world, and if your agreement is with Him, then you will agree with the Word of God.   As it is written in the last book of the Bible, one of the names for Christ is:  The Word of God.  So as you read the Word of God, you are reading Him.  If your faith is therefore in Him, then your faith will also be in the Word of God.  If, however, your faith is not in Him for the salvation of your soul, then your faith will not be in the Word of God and you will not believe His words even though His words are true.
     So then, if your agreement is with Christ, what do you see?  You will see that Christ was crucified for your sin.  And you will also see and believe that just as Christ arose from death, we also shall arise from death and be with Him in heaven and with God the Father, the Creator of the universe.
     As we look at these last days, we can know and believe that events that are happening now are events of the last days as foretold by Christ alone. 
     As for Christ's return to earth, what did He say?  He said false prophets shall arise and deceive many.  He said there will be wars and rumors of wars.  He said there will be signs in the stars.  He said there will be earthquakes in various places.  He said a world church will arise and that it will be evil.  And He said the Antichrist will appear and that he will kill millions of people who refuse to worship him.
     Jesus gives us two more signs to look for before He returns.  He said as it was in the days of Noah, before God destroyed the earth with water, and He also said as it was in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah.  Those conditions are here now.
     Before the flood, God left the door of ark open for seven days and no one else got on the ark because they did not believe God.
     The door of the ark of Christ is open now.  Christ is your only hope for a better tomorrow. 
     Christ died for us because He loves us and He wants us to be part of the new kingdom He has planned for us.  But we must get on board, we must step into the Ark, and our ticket has been paid in full and free of charge.  That's the best deal any person can receive.  As for the benefits, they are out of this world!
     Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him:   and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him.  Even so, Amen.  (Revelation 1:7).
