I'm sure most of us have heard the expression 'tomorrow's another day' usually in reference to not getting something done, having a bad day, or hoping that tomorrow is better. But how many more days are there left? How many more tomorrows do we actually have? If you ask some people they say our time is short this is the final days, ask someone else and they may tell you it'll be thousands of years, and someone else might hold with Newton's belief that the final year is 2060AD, and most people don't think about it one way or the other. But one thing is for sure, the world will end, no matter what religion you believe in, or scientific end scenario we all agree on this, we all accept that the world will end, now what are you going to do about?
If the world ended tomorrow would you be ready? Would your heart be prepared to meet your Creator; to be judged by the life you choose to live? If you aren't thinking about that you should be, I have no idea when Jesus will return and I make no claims about it but I am certain that He will, and I know the signs are in place for it to happen and soon, maybe tomorrow maybe a hundred years from now. Today, though it seems to me, that we are building to the climax, to the grand finale of this world and our judgment is at hand. Now is exactly the time to start thinking about the end, because you still have today, you still have a chance to change and give your heart to Jesus, you can still be saved from the lake of fire, but tomorrow could be to late.
Are there things in your life that you know upset God, things that in your heart you have known are wrong but persisted in anyway? This is your opportunity to change them. I am asking you to please read the scriptures I'm placing at the bottom of this post and ask yourself if you don't see the truth and proof of them around us everyday, and ask yourself what if tomorrow isn't another day; what if today is it? 2 Peter 3:10; tells us that Christ will appear like a thief in night, in other words unexpectedly, and in Matthew 24:36-37 it says that no one knows when time here will end except God himself, so be prepared. Make your heart and lifestyle pleasing and holy to the Lord, pull away from the world and into Christ, become his servant dyeing to this life of sin and begin living a new life through him.
Matthew 24:14:
And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
Matthew 24:21-22:
21 For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now-and never to be equaled again. 22 If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened.
Jeremiah 16:14-15
14 “However, the days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when it will no longer be said, ‘As surely as the Lord lives, who brought the Israelites up out of Egypt,’ 15 but it will be said, ‘As surely as the Lord lives, who brought the Israelites up out of the land of the north and out of all the countries where he had banished them.’ For I will restore them to the land I gave their ancestors.
2 Peter 3:2-4
I want you to recall the words spoken in the past by the holy prophets and the command given by our Lord and Savior through your apostles. First of all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. They will say, "Where is this 'coming' he promised?"
Luke 21:11
There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.
Luke 21:25-26
There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. Men will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken.
2 Timothy 3:1-4
But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God.
2 Timothy 4:3-4
For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.
Matthew 24:6
You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.
