“This
know also, that IN THE LAST DAYS perilous times shall come.
For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters,
proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers,
incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors,
heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of
God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof:
from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep
into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins,
led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able
to come to the knowledge of the truth.” |

The
word "ready" in terms of Jesus' return is shown to be
a watchful state in Luke 21:36, as follows: "Be always on the
watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about
to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man."
Watching, in reference to the signs of the end given in the chapter
of Luke 21 (also, in its parallels, Matthew 24 and Mark 13), implies
knowing the signs, recognizing them as they take place, and warning
Christians of the time. Luke 21:28 says, "When these things
begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your
redemption is drawing near."
To know whether you are ready
there must be an interaction of faith with God's Word. What does
"ready" mean in terms of God's message to believers? What
is required to make someone ready for Jesus coming? And, how does
one know that he/she is ready for His coming for it to be a personally
glorious event?

"(Therefore, this is how you shall pray:)
Our heavenly Father, hallowed is your name.
Your Kingdom is come. Your will is done,
As in heaven so also on earth.
Give us the bread for our daily need.
And leave us serene,
just as we also allowed others serenity.
And do not pass us through trial,
except separate us from the evil one.
For yours is the Kingdom,
the Power and the Glory
To the end of the universe, of all the universes." Amen! |
