Is Jesus Coming Back Soon? [podcast]

HAVE you heard any pastors say or insinuate that Jesus’ coming isn’t eminent, soon? …. Is such a man actually fulfilling prophecy but on the wrong side of it? Jesus addresses this very thing:

“But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming. 49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; 50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, 51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” Matthew 24:48-51

Jesus is teaching here that the notion that He can’t or isn’t coming soon or couldn’t come today will lead to damnation for many.

“Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.” Luke 12:40

“But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken; 46 The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.” Luke 12:45-46

Some among us are so enthralled in listening to modern end-times teachers as they seek to figure everything out, that they are not abiding in Christ. These are among the foolish virgins.

ARE YOU spending more time engrossed in some supposed end times scenario than you are obeying God by doing the Great Commission mandate? If so, you are not ready to meet Jesus and in big trouble. Isn’t it time to let God be God and to get about the Father’s business?

Conditions when He Returns Foretold

Violence and fornication filled the earth leading up to the flood of Noah where all but 8 people died and went to hell irrevocably. Begin in Genesis 6. The LORD Jesus forewarned that these final days leading up to His soon return would be the same:

“But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. 37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.” Matthew 24:36-39

The Present Landscape

LOTS of Christians reacting iN lots of different ways to the increasing evil of this present world. The only and unchanging biblical response is prayer and preaching the Good News! Jesus is coming!

“The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.” Ecclesiastes 1:9

Here’s exactly what we see going on before us today…. people who claim to know the One who gave all, yet refuse to put Him first and obey Him with literal obedience because Jesus is not important to them. They serve the god of self while giving mere lip service to Jesus.

“And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness. 32 And, lo, thou art unto them as a very lovely song of one that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they hear thy words, but they do them not.” Ezekiel 33:31-32

The American “Jesus”

The American “Jesus” is “another Jesus” who is taught, fostered, and set forth by the modern wolves many call “pastors” in order to accommodate counterfeits.

“For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.” 2 Corinthians 11:4

IF you are going to defend a preacher, the burden of proof is on YOU to demonstrate how they are preaching the original Gospel, or not. Do you even know the original Gospel? Most preachers are false….

MOST who claim to serve Jesus in America do so out of convenience. They will not strain themselves or their budget to put Christ first. These are those who spend and have spent their time, energies, lives, and monies in education to create a lifestyle of ease for themselves in this fleeting world. They FRAMED things this way out of self-serving covetousness, greed, and the pride of life – any and all of which are individually soul-damning sins.

Should we any longer wonder concerning the fact that only a “few” will enter glory among the “many” who claim to be following Jesus? (Matthew 7:13-14)

Nothing has changed from the time of the fall and throughout the prophets and till now (Ecclesiastes 1:9). To the lip-service rebels of his day, Hosea the prophet of God declared:

“They will not FRAME their doings to turn unto their God: for the spirit of whoredoms is in the midst of them, and they have not known the LORD.” Hosea 5:4

“They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.” Titus 1:16

Have you truly repented? That’s where it all starts and not before. When you truly repent it will be obvious because you will lay down your life in this sinful world. Christ will reign on the throne of your heart and not self. Is today the day you dethrone the laughable god of self and ask Jesus Christ to reign there? The “spirit of antichrist” is the evil spirit that controls all who do not repent and have Jesus seated on the throne of their hearts (2 Thessalonians 2; 1 John 2:18, 22; 4:1-3).

Have you “set” yourself up for success in serving God HIS WAY – on HIS terms as recorded in HIS Word? Have you framed your ways within the framework of obeying God’s Word?

“Now SET your heart and your soul to seek the LORD your God; arise therefore, and build ye the sanctuary of the LORD God, to bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and the holy vessels of God, into the house that is to be built to the name of the LORD.” 1 Chronicles 22:19

Is Jesus important enough to you to worship and to obey? He gives you the choice until you die. Here’s what lies just ahead for those who do not love and worship Jesus enough to literally obey Him:

“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 7:21

To support a fraud, a false representation of the true body of Christ, is to partner with Satan and his agents and to be damned with them. Discernment comes from God, from His Word and Spirit. God is watching what you are doing and holds you 100% accountable. No excuses. You have a Bible.

“Thank you for continuing to patronize and support my wolves!”~SATAN

“If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: 11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds (will be judged with him).” 2 John 10-11
