THIS AGE WILL END…

THIS AGE WILL END…

And the angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand to heaven and swore by him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and what is in it, the earth and what is in it, and the sea and what is in it, that there would be no more delay, but that in the days of the trumpet call to be sounded by the seventh angel, the mystery of God would be fulfilled, just as he announced to his servants the prophets. —Revelation 10:5-7

            When we talk about Jesus coming back again, there are always those who mock saying, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised?” (II Peter 3:4).  They mock the creation created by God.  They mock the world-wide flood.  They deliberately forget these things.  But there is a time coming when there will “be no more delay.”   Then “the mystery of God would be fulfilled, just as he announced to his servants the prophets.”  The mockers will no longer mock…

            So, brother and sister, fellow followers of Jesus, regardless of what is happening in our world, remember, our Lord God Almighty is moving everything toward a conclusion.  He will be with us “until the end of the age” (Matthew 28:20).    He tells us, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you” and “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.  What can mere mortals do to me?” (Hebrews 13:5-6).

            This broken, sinful world is a mess.  It will always be a mess, but this is not our home.  Our citizenship is in heaven and we will be going home soon… one way or another… through death or His coming.  So, let us rejoice!  The mystery of God will be fulfilled!

Dear Father, I am so glad You have shown me these things and I do not need to fret or fear about what is going on in the world.  Please help me to encourage others to look to You by the power of Your Holy Spirit and in the authority of Your Son Jesus.  So may it be.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRSGXKsv7IU
