Thankful for Prophetic Warning!
Scripture reading for October 19th: Matthew 21-25
Key Scriptures: Matthew 24:15-16 “”So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination that causes desolation,’ spoken through the prophet Daniel–letter the reader understand–then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.” Matthew 24:30-31 “At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory. And He will send His angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather His elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.”
Jesus responded to His disciples question concerning the when and what signs would mark the end of the age. He quoted from Daniel, Psalms, and His own knowledge of the Father’s plan. God always fulfills His holy word. Heaven and earth would pass away, but what God had spoken would be brought to pass. God would soon go public and the whole earth would see Him return–some mourning and others gathered in victory!
Thankful for Daniel’s writing: “He (the Antichrist) will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven.’ In the middle of the ‘seven’ he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on a wing of the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him.” (Daniel 9:27) “In My vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a Son of Man, coming with the clouds of heaven.” (Daniel 7:13)
Jesus is Coming Soon!
Scripture reading for December 30th: Revelation 22:12-21
Key Scriptures for over-comers: Revelation 22:7, 12, 20-21 “Behold, I am coming soon! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy in this book.” . . . . “Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done.” . . . . “He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus. The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s people. Amen.”
The final revelation of Jesus Christ to John during his visit to heaven comes from Jesus Christ, Himself! He states three times emphatically that He is coming soon! He reminds His people that His reward is with Him when He comes. He repeats that each person will be rewarded according to their deeds. He also emphasizes that some will not enter heaven because of their failure to repent of sins and wash their robes! (Revelation 22:15)
Observations for over-comers: Over-comers say “Amen!” and pray for Christ’s prophecy to be fulfilled and long to see His face!
