The Heavens Declare...

The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship. Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known. They speak without a sound or word; their voice is never heard. Yet their message has gone throughout the earth, and their words to all the world.
Psalm 19:1-4 NLT

There has been much said (and argued) about the blood moons and the eclipse and the hurricanes and what the different medias are referring to as the "Revelation 12 sign". I've been asked many questions about all of this, but I am the first to admit that I'm not a scholar in end time prophecies. 

However, there are Truths I have learned through the years. The first being ...NO ONE knows the day or the hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself. Only the Father knows. (Matthew 24:36 NLT). So if someone states a specific day and the world is watching, you can best believe it will NOT happen that day.

We have been witnessing lots of biblical cross-references with the world news. In vvs. 32 and 33, Jesus says, Now learn a lesson from the fig tree. When its branches bud and its leaves begin to sprout, you know that summer is near. In the same way, when you see all these things, you can know his return is very near... It would behoove us to pay attention.

There are those who may be too smart for their own good in that they will use human reasoning to mock and try to discredit everything. They did the same thing to Noah. Jesus tells us in Matthew 24:37-39 - When the Son of Man returns, it will be like it was in Noah’s day. In those days before the flood, the people were enjoying banquets and parties and weddings right up to the time Noah entered his boat. People didn’t realize what was going to happen until the flood came and swept them all away. That is the way it will be when the Son of Man comes.

And for those who want to debate whether or not God uses stars and their alignment to show the world His plans, I would lovingly point you to Matthew 2:2, "Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we saw His star in the east and have come to worship Him."

Prayer:

Father,
           We are looking for the Day You call us home to be with You in the City that has no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it - according to Revelation 21:23, because Your glory, O God will lighten it and the Lamb of God will be its Light. Even so, come quickly. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen
