AWAITING

“So stay awake because you do not know the day when your master is coming” (Mtt.24:42)

All these rumors about the date of Christ coming are uncalled for as well as shear waste of time because the heart of man will not be able to divulge this secret of God {“for my thoughts are not your thoughts and your ways are not my ways declares the Lord” Isaiah 55:8} just concern your soul and that of the people around you with consistency in righteousness [the awake call; ‘Uprightness will be the belt around his waist and constancy the belt about his hips’ Isaiah 11:5] by serving God continually in your intentions, actions, careers, vocations, habits e.t.c and that of our neighbors guided by the illumination of the Holy Spirit (“Open my eyes and I shall fix my gaze on the wonders of your Law” Ps.119:18)  unless you want to stick with stubbornness and smartness in sin {Rom.2:5} and enjoy the place prepared for the stubborn and smart serpent [Devil; ‘Now the snake was the most subtle of all the wild animals that the Lord God had made…’ Gen.3:1] and his angels as Christ affirmed (‘then he will say to those on his left hand, go away from me, with your curse upon you, to the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels’ Mtt.25:41) which is a place of continuous torture in the presence of the Lamb and the Holy angels “a third angel followed, shouting aloud, all those who worship the beast and his statue or have had themselves branded on the hand or forehead, will be made to drink the wine of God’s fury which is ready, undiluted in his cup of retribution; in fire and brimstone they will be tortured in the presence of the holy angels and the Lamb and the smoke of their torture will rise forever and ever. There will be no respite, night or day, for those who worship the beast or its statue or accept branding with its name” [Rev.14:9-11] also those who are struggling in righteousness should not give up their faith in Jesus and obedience to God’s commandments {‘this is why there must be perseverance in the saints who keep the commandments of God and faith in Jesus’ Rev.14:12} and (‘I am coming soon: hold firmly to what you already have and let no one take your victor’s crown away from you’ Rev.3:11)
