Bible Note: Serve God with eternity in view, not for a date that, as you say, no one knows. However, live each day as it might be your last, for after stating the above, he states the course for his disciples: "Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come." Matt 24:42) Why would he give all this information about how to recognize his coming (presence) and then in effect say: But don't worry about any of this because you'll never be able to figure out when you're even getting close to "the day." No, rather he says: "Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. 33Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door." (Matt 24:32,33) Yes, the season would be discernable! Funny thing about Jesus reference to Noah and Lot's day, rather than recalling how immoral or violent they were (and people are at least as much so today), he mentions there ignoring the time of their inspection as they go about mundane things like eating, drinking and marrying. A lot of people will be overtaken by the tribulation, perhaps none more that those that expected to be spared the last dreadful days of this ungodly world by "rapture." Rev 16:15: "Behold, I come like a thief! Blessed is he who stays awake and keeps his clothes with him, so that he may not go naked and be shamefully exposed." |
