King James Version
11 And that, knowing the time,
that now it is high time to awake out of sleep:
for now is our salvation
nearer than when we believed.
12 The night is far spent,
the day is at hand:
let us therefore cast off the works of darkness,
and let us put on the armour of light.
Why this GREAT urgency to repent?
Why this need to acknowledge personal sinfulness?
Why are we to wake up now?
Because we are all in a stupor.
Not realizing the TIME is at HAND.
Even as John the Baptist, who prepared the people for the coming of the MESSIAH, warned us early on.
Matthew 3:1-2
King James Version
3 In those days came John the Baptist,
preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,
2 And saying,
Repent ye:
for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Even as JESUS already warned us during His ministry.
Mark 1:15
King James Version
15 And saying,
The time is fulfilled,
and the kingdom of God is at hand:
repent ye,
and believe the gospel.
Even as apostle John warned us why the time is at hand.
1 John 2:18
King James Version
18 Little children,
it is the last time:
and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come,
even now are there many antichrists;
whereby we know that it is the last time.
Even as an angel from the LORD warned us, through John.
Revelation 22:10-11
King James Version
10 And he saith unto me,
Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book:
for the time is at hand.
11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still:
and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still:
and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still:
and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
And yet, people remain in a stupor.
Worse, they're skeptical, and they scoff.
2 Peter 3:3-4
King James Version
3 Knowing this first,
that there shall come in the last days scoffers,
walking after their own lusts,
4 And saying,
Where is the promise of his coming?
for since the fathers fell asleep,
all things continue as they were
from the beginning of the creation.
But the Bible cannot be ignored.
Whether you're born again, or not, take heed the WORD of GOD.
Prophets, and apostles, were sent to warn us.
The LORD JESUS, the SON of GOD, was sent to save us.
JESUS prayed for the HOLY SPIRIT, that He may teach us.
Scripture was given, that we may listen.
The only question is, who cares to listen?
JESUS wondered:
Luke 18:7-8
King James Version
7 And shall not God avenge his own elect,
which cry day and night unto him,
though he bear long with them?
8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily.
Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh,
shall he find faith on the earth?
Last of all, the RAPTURE can happen any moment.
Would you be part of it?
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
King James Version
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven
with a shout,
with the voice of the archangel,
and with the trump of God:
and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain
shall be caught up together with them in the clouds,
to meet the Lord in the air:
and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Or, will you be left behind?
I assure you, you will not want to.
