"And It Shall Be In The Last Days"

"See to it that you are not misled....When you hear of wars and disturbances, do not be terrified; for these things must take place first, but the end does not follow immediately....Because these are days of vengeance, so that all things which are written will be fulfilled----------- until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled." 
Jesus

Sorry for the unabashed claim, but most of the news you receive from the printed and television media, both local and national, is fluff.  An important question is, "Are we informed concerning the great prophetic developments of these 'last days?'"  Are we prepared, so that "when these things are about to take place," we will not be surprised, but  "straighten up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near." (?)

For far too many Believers our text has become "distant" even archaic theology.  If you listen to most of the discussions among Believers today, you will pick up the belief that the human race has an indefinite future on this planet which at "best" marginalizes the triumphant return and reign of Jesus Christ.  I don't believe this for a moment.  Our text is the Word of the Word of God Himself, Jesus Christ.  For centuries theologians and would-be theologians have debated the "end-time" things.  But Billy Graham perhaps best summed it up, "History is headed toward a dramatic climax."

And this is not, I repeat, not escapism.  This is obedience to the command of Jesus Christ, "Watch!"  It does not matter if there have been some in Church History who have used this prophetic truth to shirk responsibility, to avoid missions, to avoid the affairs of state, feed the poor, etc.  What matters in these days is that the Lord Jesus has an "army" of the Prepared, people whose very hope and anticipation of His Return are "living stones,..being built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood," bearing witness to the Resurrected and Soon Coming King, Jesus, King of the Kingdom of Heaven.

Father, in Jesus' Name, grant me the grace to see Your Prophetic Word being fulfilled----------------------- daily.  Amen.
