Time May Be Short Are You Ready?

Between the news and some other reading I have been doing it isn't looking good out there is it?  There are alot of prophecies calling for some pretty dire times ahead particularly if you are a christian.  There are those who say we are in the end times...I believe we are, however how long that time will last only the One knows.

The end times could last 50 years, a hundred years, a thousand years....no one knows.  We must be ready... Our end time could be tonight, tomorrow, next week... we don't know.  We must be ready.

I personally believe now from what I am reading on ancient and not so ancient prophecies that we are getting ready to enter into a time that the world has not experienced before. A time that will cause past events to pale in nature. Some of these say 3/4 of humanity will be destroyed.  Some say that evil will appear to win and at the very last good will actually win but with huge causalities. They say nature will be unleashed against a sinful humanity and that evil men will rule with violence. Then when all seems lost a great Monarch will rise from France as will a saintly Pope to lead the world to peace. That a long period of peace will come upon the earth after that which will then be followed by the Man of Evil and then the final end.

When I first read some of this I got scared and then it hit me that it is actually a message of hope! The world has gone beserk! We have as a whole turned to evil ways and God has had enough. He must per His justice purge the earth. But then good will return to the earth! And those who perish because of believing in Him will be in Heaven for forever and ever....What wonder is that? It is an incredible thing. So for me I think the best thing to do is to accept that we were born in the time in history that God ordained. We must live our own personal life as best we can according to His Will. We must live in this world but not of this world. We must live as if we were already home! When we focus on Home/Heaven things of this earth become as ash in our mouth, tasteless. We long for Heaven, we long for home...Patiently we must wait till our time comes. Perhaps we will be called to die for believing in Him, or perhaps we will die from natural causes or a car accident, who knows...no matter, dying is the only way to get to heaven. We must all pass through that door in order to enter the other. The important thing is to stay focused on Him! Live each day with Him at the forefront, making all decisions based on how you know He would want you to choose. Then when your time comes it will be easier, and when you meet Him you will not be a stranger... He will welcome you with open arms. You will finally be home...

So my final word is that no matter what the future holds for all of us be strong, focus on Heaven and its wonders then no matter how difficult times may become you will remain faithful and at peace with a hope that this world cannot give.  Know that anyone who reads this is being lifted up in prayer...May we all meet one day in that blessed place and finally be able to rest our weary souls/bodies for forever.

Peace,
