No Surprises 267

“But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,[f] but only the Father. As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.  For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left.  Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.
Matthew 24:36-41

Now, brothers and sisters, about times and dates we do not need to write to you,  for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. While people are saying, “Peace and safety,” destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.
 But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief.  You are all children of the light and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness. 6So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be awake and sober. 
1 Thess.5:1-6

The return of Messiah Yeshua, (Jesus)is imminent.
Many have tried to predict the moment of His coming.
Although I can't wait to see my Bridegroom, and be with Him,
I believe the time is not yet here, even as birthpangs come.
Here's the thing: as Christians we are to be as the wise and prepared virgins awaiting the return of the bridegroom. The LORD is coming to come like a thief comes in the night, without warning!
We are encouraged, told, and told again, to BE PREPARED.
Whether it's tomorrow or another day or night, one thing is certain -
Jesus is coming, so do not take this urgent truth lightly.
People...GET READY.
