Revelation 1:7; Behold, He Cometh

Revelation 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

In Jesus’ second coming, He will enforce His dominion over His creation. The earth will be subdued. Man, the self-declared rulers of the earth, will be visibly humbled. The prophet Jeremiah’s words of warning is ever more timely today – Jeremiah 9:23-24 Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.

Today, the nation of Israel rejects her Christ – Jeremiah 9:25-26 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will punish all them which are circumcised with the uncircumcised; Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all that are in the utmost corners, that dwell in the wilderness: for all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in the heart.

A time is coming when there will be time no more. While there is time, the people of God are commanded to be sober and to have our lamps trimmed and bright. Christ’s second coming will be a time of great judgment upon a rebellious world. Enough is enough. There will be time no more.

May the Lord help us to redeem our time while it is yet day for the night comes when we can work no more. Amen.
