How Soon?

For years, people have asked when Jesus would be coming back to take his bride to heaven.  Some have even tried to set a date as to when he would come back.  And each time a date was set, nothing happened.  So when do you suppose he will return?  No one knows but the Father in heaven.  Jesus told his disciples that he didn't know the hour or day.  Why do you think he hasn't returned?

To be honest, prophetically speaking, nothing has to happen for Christ to return to take us
home to be with him.  So what are we to do in the meantime?  Sit down and wait?  No, we can't do that, for there are millions of people who have yet come to know the Lord.  We all have family, friends, neighbors who have yet to receive him as their Lord and Savior.  And time is running out.  For you see, we're living in the last days.

Though we don't know when he will return, there is still much to be done.  The Jews are going back home to Israel.  Nations are getting ready for that great battle against Israel, more so against God. 
This is a spiritual battle, and the battle is over who will take your soul.  And who will control Jerusalem.  Satan is doing everything in his power to defeat Israel and anyone else who dares side with Israel.  In case some have forgotten, this battle began eons of years ago. 

First, Satan tried to take over heaven.  He was an angel of light. There were angels in heaven who sided with Satan and they were kicked out of heaven with him .  He deceived Eve into eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil.  Until then, Adam and Eve didn't know anything about sin.  But when they disobeyed God and ate that fruit, the Lord drove them out of the Garden of Eden. And they began to die, not just physically but spiritually as well.

Ever since, mankind has been doomed to hell.  But Jesus took our place as the perfect sacrifice on the cross.  So all we have to do is repent of our sins and ask Jesus into our hearts.  He was the perfect Lamb of God.  So before you are left behind, please give your heart to Christ.  You'll never regret the decision.  You don't want to be left behind, because the tribulation will be a lot worse than what we're seeing now.  If you are a Christian, then like me, you probably could use a closer walk with Jesus.  There is no time like the present.  Give your heart and soul to Christ before it's too late.
