Isaiah 64- Christ is Coming

 

According to J. Vernon McGee and popular opinion Christ is coming before the Great Tribulation to take the church out of the world before the suffering begins. At the end of the Tribulation Christ will establish His kingdom. There is great controversy as to when Christ will come whether before or after the tribulation. We’re not here to debate the truth of it, but to prepare for it. The scriptures tell us to not lean upon our own understanding. We as God’s children pray that we do not have to go through the times of tribulation.

 

Today, we are pleading for Christ’s return. “Oh Lord Jesus, how long, how long, ere we shout the glad song, Christ returneth, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, amen.”

 

As a nation, we wonder why our nation mingles with other godless nations to help them out. The truth is, that we are just as godless as they are, only in different ways. God deals with the other nations just as He deals with us. That is why there are earthquakes, volcano eruptions, tornadoes, Tsunami’s, pandemics, etc.

 

God speaks out in thunderous ways and still mankind does not notice what He is doing. If one were to look deep into what is going on in the places that these disasters happen, you could see how God’s anger has exploded upon them.

 

To His children, God has revealed His plans through the Holy Spirit. The answer will always be there for us, we must be open to His revelations.

 

All of us have sinned and come short of the glory of God. It doesn’t matter what we do here on earth, all our good works will not get us into heaven. It is our relationship with Jesus that causes us to Love Him enough to do these good works that will get us to Heaven. A lost sinner who believes his good works will get him to heaven is not acceptable to God. He must first come to God through the plan of Salvation. We can only come to God one way, and that is through Jesus Christ. We are certainly God’s creation, but that doesn’t make us children of God. It is through our choices that we become children of God, or children of Satan. We cannot serve two masters so we must decide to seek out Jesus and accept a relationship with Him by being obedient and baptized into His kingdom.
