The End Is Near 

Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door. Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. (Matthew 24:32-35)  
  
Never before in the history of mankind have we seen what we are experiencing now. Everything is lining up to make the plan of the antichrist and the false prophets a reality. When will Jesus come? Will it be 10 years from now, 10 months, 10 weeks, 10 days or 10 minutes from now? I don't know; the Bible doesn't say. We don’t know the day or the hour, but we know this is the season. We need to be living as though we are ready for Jesus to come in the next 10 seconds. I pray that you are ready.   
  
This message is a sobering, wake-up call for those who are not mindful of what is happening. Their heads are in the sand, and they are saying, “I don't want my religion to affect my business.” Wake up, because a religion is coming which will affect all businesses. If you believe the Bible, you must believe this. This is not symbolic; this is reality. We are watching that possibility becoming reality in our generation. Look up, Jesus is coming again.   
  
The real question is, “Are you ready? Do you know in your knower that you know Christ? Do you have the confidence that when Jesus comes secretly for His saints that you will go with Him?” If not, I pray that today you will give your life to Christ. When you see our culture and our government headed in this direction, don’t be afraid. The Bible says He is coming. That should not scare you. Instead, let it sober you to make sure you are spiritually aligned with Jesus Christ. I pray that today you would turn from your sin and place your faith in Jesus Christ.
