THE LAST DAYS

Luke 17:26
“As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be in the days of the Son of Man…

---------------------------------------------
The year is again nearing its end. And like before, there will again be a lot of prophecies about what will be happening next year. Of course, there would also be those predictions about the end of the world or the second coming fo Christ. Prediction books have even been written picking the exact day of Jesus' return. But these are all WRONG preaching. Only God the Father knows when it will be – even Jesus doesn't even know as He told His disciples: “No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father”.

All we need to do is to be prepared. We must all be ready and watchful, unless we will come into the false promises of this earthly life from one generation to the next and assume that Jesus won't return after all. “But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare”.

As St. Peter has all warned us, and so we must be prepared – “Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming. That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness” (2 Peter 3:3-4, 8-13).

Are you ready for the last day?

Let us pray +

Almighty Father, help us to be ready for Jesus' sudden coming. Shake us awake. Help us not to be lulled to sleep by the unbelief Teach me the true value of material things so that I do not cling to them. Help my eyes to be ever looking for His appearing. In the holy name of Jesus, I pray.

Amen +

With all my heart I seek You; let me not stray from your commands.
