In recent days I have begun to see events of the world around in the context of the scriptures: the constant stream of natural disasters, the wars, the tangled immorality, and the horrific things people do to one another.
These are signs of a nation, and a world which is ripening in wickedness. The Kingdom of Heaven is nigh at hand, yeah even at the doors! When Jesus first uttered these words it was the destruction of Jerusalem, not the end of the world, which was nigh at hand, but for those who heard and ignored his words, the result was the same. I don't know if the Second Coming of our Lord is close, but I feel compelled to warn all who will listen: Whether it be by His hand, or by the Assyrians, or by the Romans, the time of threshing is coming. It is not to late to repent and return to the shelter of a loving God, but for many it soon will be.
