Matthew 24
Today’s reading is Matthew’s recount of what we read yesterday in Mark 13. Did you notice that Jesus warns them to beware of false Messiahs. When will Jesus come? He gives us some clues:
· It will not happen until “after the anguish of those days”
· After “the sun will be darkene3d,
· After “the moon will give no light”
· After “the stars will fall from the sky”
· After “the powers in the heavens will be shaken”
· Then “at last, the sign that the Son of Man is coming will appear in the heavens”
· “There will be deep mourning among all the peoples of the earth
Finally, “they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory and he will send out his angels with the mighty blast of a trumpet, and they will gather his chosen ones from all over the world – from the farthest ends of the earth and heaven”
Pastor John Hagee has been preaching a three-part series on The Four Blood Moons. If you are interested in the end times, you might want to check out his first two sermons; he’ll be preaching the third and last one this Sunday. You can find these sermons at www.getv.org.
Tomorrow, we’ll read Matthew 25.
The Election
I guess anyone who knows me probably realizes I was extremely disappointed in the outcome of yesterday’s election. I think we probably won’t recognize our country by the next presidential election. I hope everyone is prepared for a rocky ride. If we don’t consider anything other than our $16 trillion debt, we can see we’re headed for trouble. Add to that the new taxes due to hit the country and the sequestration on January first. Never forget, though, that God is in control and none of this has come as a surprise to him.
Until next week…
