Since the beginning of time, God has said exactly what will happen on this earth. People has discounted God’s word because it has not happened now. People think that because God’s judgment is not immediate, it won’t happen at all. This is the furthest thing from the truth. Everything that God has said will happen, did happen. It is all in God’s time. God’s word says that mercy triumphs over judgment. God gives everyone able opportunity to hear the truth and turn to Him. The Promised Land that God gave to Abraham was lost on two different occasions because of sin. The Israelites returned to the Promised Land for a 3^th time in 1947. In God’s economy, the number 3 is the number of perfection. God is testing Israel to see if they will remain faithful to His word.

It is the same for the rest of the world. We are in the time of testing. God is seeing if we are going to be faithful to His word. Everything that is going to happen is written in God’s word. And God has already explained what He is going to do. So, the how does not need to be explained again. Now what God is wanting from us is to be ready for the when. He said He would come as a thief in the night. And only those who are ready will receive Him. God also said that when He comes those who look like Him will be able to see Him. And yes I am talking about Jesus Christ.

God talks about the signs of the times and recognizing them. The first sign that Jesus is returning that we can recognize is Israel returning to the Promised Land. So we are in the season of His return. Will I see Jesus return to reign and rule in Jerusalem? I don’t know. Only the Father knows when He will return.

The only time that God actually guarantees in now. The Bible says that today is the day of salvation and now is the time. This is the only time that everyone has is now. So, let me ask you a question. Are you ready to face God? If you are not ready, now is the time to get ready. It is very simple to get ready. God says to turn from your wicked ways and face God and ask for forgiveness. And God says that He will forgive. All of what I have said is in the Bible. God is willing to take all of us back home. Only if we are willing to go home to God. So, it is not how, but when.

Ever since the time of Adam and Eve, man has struggled with being separated from God. When God was separated from man by his sin, God provided for man to return. God made a covenant to allow man to return. Since that time, man has tried to find every reason to say that he doesn’t need God. At the tower of Babel, man going to shoot an arrow at God to say that He didn’t need God. God scrambled their languages and scattered them across the world. With Noah, God had him preach to mankind that a flood was coming and they needed to choose. It took Noah 100 years to build the ark. When God closed the door on the ark, people realized that God wasn’t joking. Did you know that Abraham knew his 9^th great grandfather Shem, Noah’s son? By this time God was going to choose a people to represent Him on earth. God made a covenant with Abraham. Even Abraham at first didn’t believe and trust God. Finally he came to place where we all have to arrive, trusting in God. God speaks of Abraham and says that he was justified by faith. Then came Moses, then David, Solomon, then Isaiah, Ezekiel, and all the other prophets. Yet God’s people still didn’t follow after God. Then God sent His son, Jesus, to fulfill the Covenant with Abraham and mankind. And the promise is made unto you to enter into the kingdom of God by believing and trusting in Jesus Christ.

1John 1:9 “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

Romans 3:10 “As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.”

1John 1:9 “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
