He Will Return

Jesus IS coming again.


Is Jesus actually coming back? Is he just hanging out in Heaven, watching all this garbage going on for nothing? They have been telling us for a long time, actually, since Jesus died, that He was coming back. Where is He? over 2000 years? Be good or else? Where is this Jesus? Why should we even care?

First. The definitive answer is "YES!" Yes, Jesus IS coming back. Yes, He is coming back to collect His Saints and to DESTROY Sin and the Wicked. So to answer the last question? YES, you BETTER care.

Jesus tells us in Luke 17:22-37
"And he said to the disciples, “The days are coming when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it. And they will say to you, ‘Look, there!’ orLook, here!’ Do not go out or follow them. For as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to the other, so will the Son of Man be in his day. But first, he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation."
Stop there a second. You will not miss it. Anytime you see or hear anyone say, Jesus is here, or He is there? There is a good chance they are lying. There will be no mistaking it. All will see Him coming and all will KNOW He is here. You are not going to sleep through it.
"Just as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the days of the Son of Man. They were eating and drinking and marrying and being given in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. Likewise, just as it was in the days of Lot they were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building, but on the day when Lot went out from Sodom, fire and sulfur rained from heaven and destroyed them all so will it be on the day when the Son of Man is revealed."
Jesus is coming in a time when least expect it. He is coming tomorrow? The day after? A year after that? Jesus tells us this in Mark 13:32
"But concerning that day or that hour, no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father."
Forget all the"Prophecies" about the year 2000. 2012, August 18, 2020, when the Planets are all lined in this way. On a rainy day in the middle of September at half-past 3. It is all nonsense. Look around. See the signs. They are there. But to say it is going to happen Tuesday? Sorry. No one can tell you that.

Simply put, we will be doing whatever it is we are doing. Living our lives. Life will be simply moving on. Ever forward. Day after day. Until the appointed time. Then? Well, then, there is nothing you can do. THEN it is too late to change the Path you are on. Back to Luke 17
"On that day, let the one who is on the housetop, with his goods in the house, not come down to take them away, and likewise let the one who is in the field not turn back. Remember Lot's wife. Whoever seeks to preserve his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will keep it. I tell you, in that night there will be two in one bed. One will be taken and the other left. There will be two women grinding together. One will be taken and the other left.”And they said to him, “Where, Lord?” He said to them, “Where the corpse is, there the vultures will gather."
Let's go to question number 2. Is he just hanging out in Heaven, watching all this garbage going on for nothing? Why? Would a Loving God really want to see Evil in the World? Bad and Evil People hurting Good and Decent? Hurting those who claim to be His Chosen?

The answer is "Yes." Why?
The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field, but while his men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away. So when the plants came up and bore grain, then the weeds appeared also. And the servants of the master of the house came and said to him, ‘Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have weeds?’ He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ So the servants said to him, ‘Then do you want us to go and gather them?’ But he said, ‘No, lest in gathering the weeds you root up the wheat along with them. Let both grow together until the harvest, and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, “Gather the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn.”
God IS a loving God. He IS delaying His return because He Loves us so much. 2 Peter 3:9
"The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance."
He does not want to send anyone to Hell. He is not some bearded old guy sitting on the Throne, waiting to cast people into Hell. He wants all, or at least as many as possible, to come to repentance, accept His Plan of Salvation, and Live.

However, this is not going to last forever. His Patients will expire at some point. He will fulfill His Promise. He will return. In that day, the Weeds, or the Evil People will be gathered, bound, and burned. His Words folks. the Wheat, or those who have accepted Jesus, will be gathered into His Barn, or accepted into Life Eternal.

How do you know the Weeds from the Wheat?
"By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother." {1 John 3:10}
Also
" And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments. Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him." {1 John 2:3,4}
Please, Child of God, choose Wisely. Never make the mistake of thinking He is NOT coming back. That God just no longer Cares. Or that we are free to do whatever we want. Well, you are free to do whatever you want, as long as you are ok with the consequences.

God is Patient and He is Kind. He is Gracious. He IS Love. He is coming. Are you ready? Once He arrives, it will then be too late. Are you ready? Do you know Jesus as your Savior? Have you been adopted into the Family of God? If not, say this Prayer. Right now. Wherever you may be. Say it in your own words, and do not doubt in your heart. God will hear you. He will send the Spirit of Life to you. Let us Pray.

"Oh heavenly Father, Lord God. I am a Sinner. I know this. I know there is nothing I can do to change that. But I know you can. I accept Jesus and His Sacrifice for me. I believe that He raised from the Dead. I repent my Sins. Please send the Spirit of Adoption into my life. Help me to get to know the real you. Save me. Please. In the name of Jesus, Amen!"

That's it. It really is that simple. Now go tell someone what you have just done. "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." {Romans 10:9} You need to find a Church that God leads you to, and be Baptized the way Jesus said to be. You are now a Child of God. A new Creature. You "have put off the old man with his deeds, and have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him." {Colossians 3:10}

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.{2 Corinthians 13}

Until next time, be Blessed and be a Blessing to another. Jesus IS Lord!
