THINGS TO COME

Part Four of Four: What should we do?

Let’s let God's Word tell us what’s wrong and what to do.

This life is but a whisper, a puff of smoke in terms of eternity. So think more about eternity rather than here on Earth in this mortal existence.

Does the following Habakkuk Scripture sound familiar to you? It should. . .this is a prophecy written for these end times.

v2 O LORD, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! even cry out unto thee of violence, and thou wilt not save!
v3 Why dost thou shew me iniquity, and cause me to behold grievance? for spoiling and violence are before me: and there are that raise up strife and contention.
v4 Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth [Habakkuk 1:2-4].

It is impossible to please God without faith [Hebrews 11:6]. Is our faith a preference or commitment? If we take the mark, our faith was a preference. If we do not take the mark, our faith was a conviction. Only we can answer that question.

With the times that are coming, are we going to be safe and immune to the Tribulation that the Bible talks about? I can answer in the affirmative, most definitely. There is only one place of safety and that is “In Christ.” Don’t play Russian roulette with your soul. Are you a child of God? If not, there is only one way, and that is through Jesus Christ. There are some ugly times ahead and I personally am glad that I will not be one of those left behind. I will be coming back with Christ on a white stallion of my own to fight alongside of Christ against a world that has rejected my savior and husband.

1. DO NOT FEAR: Do not fear those things that are coming upon the Earth. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. [Matthew 24:6 (Also Mark 13:7 and Luke 2:19)].

2. GET YOUR EYES OFF OF THIS WORLD: The Word of God is clear, our hope and call is not in this world. God has not called us to restore or save the world.
v10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent

heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

v11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
v12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
 v13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. [2 Peter 3:10-13 (Also Colossians 3:2)]

3. SET YOUR EYES ON THE SKIES: Our focus will be on the lost and dying as we discern the lateness of the hour. The world sees the same crisis as we do only they will look to themselves to build a New Age of Peace and Prosperity. Whereas, we will look to the skies because our redemption is nigh at hand.

v28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. [Luke 21:28 (Also Colossians 3:1-3)]

We cannot be silent anymore. There is a dying world out there. We must discern the signs of the times, and realize the hour in which we stand. We must cry out: My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart maketh a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war. [Jeremiah 4:19]

For further edification
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God [John 3:3 KJV].
The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe [Proverbs 18:10 KJV].
