JESUS IS COMING

Are you ready for His Appearing?

(A Synopsis of Biblical prophecy)

 

“Therefore, be on the alert, for you do not know which

the day your Lord is coming. But be sure of this, that if the

head of the house had known at what time of the night

the thief was coming, he would have been on the alert

and would not have allowed his house to be broken into.

For this reason, you also must be ready; for the son of

man is coming at an hour when you do not think he will.”

(Matthew 24:42-44 NASB)

 

These verses are quoted from the most detailed passage of

scripture concerning Christ’s second coming. Matthew chapter

24 is called the Olivet discourse and it centers on the teaching

of Jesus concerning His coming again. These events are not

historical but prophetical. That means that they pertain to the

future. But they are future from the perspective of Jesus and

they will be fulfilled. One of the problems in studying prophecy

is to keep thinking they are future and have no relationship to

what is happening in my life today. As I have mentioned

previously in other articles, the twofold purpose of prophecy is

first to instruct and second to prepare. No matter when

Christ shall appear, we are urged throughout Scripture to live

as though His coming were today. In Hebrews chapter 9:28,

we are told: “So Christ also was once offered to bear the

sins of many, and unto them who look for him shall he

appear a second time without sin unto salvation.”

The fact is, Jesus is coming and those who are eagerly

believing and awaiting that return will not be surprised when

He comes. To these, His coming will truly be “The Blessed

Hope.” To those who are unprepared, it will be a time of

201


 

tragedy and great sorrow. (Revelation 1:7) Our lives are to be

in continual readiness for the Lord’s return. How simple can

we make it? Jesus is coming, are you ready? These are the

questions that every Christian ought to be asking himself and

to be telling others. Revelation 1:7 clearly shows us that this is

going to be one event that will affect the whole world. Every

eye shall see him both Christian and non-Christian alike. The

world needs to know that Jesus is coming and we are his

ambassadors to proclaim that message to everyone.

 

Do not be surprised if the world thinks you are crazy because

you told them that Jesus is coming. Think about Noah. He told

the people in his day that the flood was coming, and God

gave the skeptics of that time 120 years to think about it and

change their minds. Sadly, we are told that when they were

not expecting it, the flood came and took them all away. Jesus

says that is what his coming will be like. Those unsaved

friends will be taken in judgment and even if they will not hear

we still need to tell them because “Jesus is coming” is a

fact. If we believe that then we must proclaim it

 

I am writing this discourse to give an understanding of how the

prophecies concerning Christ’s return apply to us today, 2000

years removed from the time when Jesus first spoke them to

his disciples.
