AS WE SEE THE DAY APPROACHING!

Heb 10:24-25

24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:

25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

           What day? “The day” refers to the day of the Lord’s coming. For believers, it is the day of our total and final redemption. We will be going home but even this fact can strike panic in those who, for one reason or another, are not ready or not willing to depart a familiar and somewhat comfortable world.

           The shortest designation of the Lord’s coming occurs in First Corinthians 13:13 which says “ Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.” So, we approach a time when the books will be balanced, and a record revealed. That would be reason enough to be anxious as we “SEE” the day approaching.

           Preppers! That’s what they call those who store food, ammunition, and other supplies against an unknown and unseen time of calamity. Christians are often called by worse names! But shouldn’t we be prepared against an observable and fast approaching event? Solomon wrote in his Proverbs “A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.” Prov 22:3

‎           Ignatius said, “When ye frequently and in numbers meet together, the powers of Satan are overthrown, and his mischief is neutralized by your likemindedness in the faith.' To neglect such assemblings might end in apostasy.”

1 John 2:18

18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

Dear Lord, I see the day fast approaching. Make me steadfast. Keep me close to your heart. AMEN
