Having completed the series of studies on the Book of Revelation, I am now spending time during the month of November to dwell on the subject of Last Things. The Adult Bible class goes into recess in December as we are involved in Christmas kettling and other festive season activities.
We had very good discussion this morning. There are many things that are mysterious to us and we just have to wait till we see the Lord in heaven face to face.
No one knows when the Lord will come again. No study of signs will remove the sense of surprise even among the faithful (Matt. 24: 44) Only God the Father knows the time, so let us not speculate on dates.
Over the years many Christians have believed the signs were just right, the end was imminent. There are dangers with preoccupation on this subject. The 'last days' commence when Jesus came to earth in human form, the First Advent and will complete when the Second Advent arrives.
Let us just get on with our work, continue to do God's will and live in the spirit of watchfulness and preparedness. The conflict between good and evil continues in intensity. The precise time of His coming lies with Almighty God who holds eternity in His hands.
"He's coming soon, He's coming soon,
With joy we welcome His returning.
It may be morn, it may be night or noon.
I know the Lord is coming soon.
