We are living in the days that are described in Daniel but many people don’t know it. Daniel was told to “seal the book until the time of the end“. Our world is on the edge of that time and everything around us points to it. If you have read at least some of the prophetic books of the Bible, a good bit of the news will seem very familiar because of what those prophets wrote so long ago. That is why I am not surprised by the “news” today or any other day. We are so close to the 2000 year anniversary of Jesus’ ministry and crucifixion because He was baptized in the year 27 AD and that is only a couple of years away (2027).
AI started being a “thing” just a few years ago and now we seem to be coming up on the possibility of it running far more than medical research and other benign uses for it. Our country and the electrical grid isn’t ready for it because each one of the data centers would need a nuclear reactor to run.
Getting back to prophecy, the world is having some kind of seismic shift or volcano or earthquake going on in places that we haven’t heard of before. The nations of the world seem to be very much on edge and it’s getting worse at least weekly. In two years who knows what will be going on.
The bottom line is that God is in control. Give your heart to Jesus and ask Him for forgiveness, then walk with Him every day, praying and reading the Bible because He is coming back for the church soon. Life will be so much better in Heaven than you can imagine. Think about it, pray about it and seek to know Jesus Christ as your Savior.
Eat with joy, drink with gladness, Walk in love, work with cheer, Fear God — this is all.
The quote above is a small rendition of the book of Ecclesiastes in just a few lines. “Eat with joy” means to be thankful to God for your food and your ability to get food, “drink with gladness” does not mean drinking to get drunk, be thankful for the barley and wheat and some of the real sugars that are in our drinks. “Walk in love”, live your life…daily showing and reflecting the love of Jesus, “work with cheer” in many ways is not an easy idea for many people because they are working at a job they have to work at and not a job that they enjoy. Cheerfully work because you have the ability to work to pay your bills and thank God for the job you have then pray that He will find you another one that you truly enjoy! “Fear God”, this doesn’t mean be deathly afraid of Him like He’s going to throw a bolt of lightening at you if you mess up. It means give Him the reverent fear that you give to your Creator because He knows you better than you know yourself. He knows every thought and word that you have spoken, good or bad, about Him or anyone else, so consider that fact for a minute.
God sent His Son, Jesus, to Earth to be the Perfect sacrifice for ALL of humanity’s sins and to show the world that God does understand the human condition and everything that is involved in living here as a human being. Not one of us is guaranteed tomorrow, so seek to know Jesus today because you might have a wreck going to work or on the way home. Don’t play around with your eternity because it is so much more time than the life we have here, make sure that your eternal home will be with Jesus on that day that you leave this life and enter in to eternity with God.
I enjoy sharing the love and the message of God’s salvation with anyone who will read my blog. Since I can’t get out and go on mission trips this is the best way I can do that.
