Are You Ready For The Day Of The Lord?




Praise the Lord everyone!!




I believe the entitled subject proposes a great question that should be alarming to the sinner and resonating in the heart of those of us who are called, " Christian". The message of the coming of the Lord has taken a back seat to secular teaching and motivational speaking from platforms that were supposed to propagate the message of salvation, the necessity of holy living and the emanate return of the Lord Jesus Christ. Yet, our consistent focus as the majority has been to omit the weightier matters and teach what is good, but not to the ignoring of what is at hand…. The Day Of The Lord!!


The discourse of the entire 24th chapter of the Gospel according to Matthew, the words of Jesus and its prophetic implications, has already begun to impact our world. Jesus quotes the things that have begun to overtake the earth now, as, "the beginning of sorrows". While we are focused on bigger houses (To live in and worship in…), better cars, more money, and finer clothes!! While we are writing books on, " Your best life yet", "12 keys to success" and " How to catch a mate in 30 days"! We have failed to publish that which is of most important… " Nothing but the righteous shall see God", "What do you mean Born Again?" and "Is Hell real?"


The bible in 1 Thessalonians chapter 4 & 5 teaches us how we should be prepared for the coming and how we are to maintain our vessel in holiness and sanctification. (1 Thess. 4:1-4) The problem is well stated in the writings of Peter, where we have grown unconcerned with the reality of the lord's coming. The day of the Lord Jesus Christ seems overdue, outdated and unrealistic to the sinner and even to church members. But in 2 Peter 3rd chapter the apostle stir up our pure minds by way of remembrance. I want to remind all of us who name the name of Christ to remember the big picture; the day of the Lord is at hand!! What manner of men should we be? We, knowing the Lord is coming to judge world and that judgment shall begin in the house of the Lord. The scripture says in that day the world shall mourn because of His appearing.


The culmination of The Great Tribulation, The Battle of Armageddon, The sounding of the Seventh Trumpet, The Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, The Rapture of the Church, The ending of The Church Age and The beginning of The Millennial Reign of Christ all happens in one day. That day is called the Day of the Lord, also referred as the Day of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Acts 2:38:

38Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

The Realist,
