What will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?
The disciples were quite worried about this. Are you?
In Matthew 24:4 to 25 says:
4Jesus answered: "Watch out that no one deceives you. 5For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Christ,' and will deceive many. 6You will hear of wars and rumours of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8All these are the beginning of birth pains.
9"Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. 10At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13but he who stands firm to the end will be saved. 14And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
15"So when you see standing in the holy place 'the abomination that causes desolation,' spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand— 16then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17Let no one on the roof of his house go down to take anything out of the house. 18Let no one in the field go back to get his cloak. 19How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! 20Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath. 21For then there will be great distress, unequalled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equalled again. 22If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened. 23At that time if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or, 'There he is!' do not believe it. 24For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect—if that were possible. 25See, I have told you ahead of time.
We are definitely experiencing a time were the love of most is growing cold and people are becoming selfish even inside the church.
We can easily find people complaining about brothers and sisters, about the pastor, about the church and sometimes about God himself.
Let´s see if you have ever heard this:
“Nobody talked to me in the church tonight.”
“Nobody even looked at me.”
“Kids were too noisy”
“Music was too loud”
“Windows were closed”
“Windows were open”
“The parking lot was crowded”
“The pastor didn't look at my face”
“Sermon was too long”
“Sermon was boring”
“Too many bible texts”
“Church was crowded tonight”
“Church was empty”
“Coffee was cold”
“Tea was hot”
“Pastor wasn't inspired tonight”
“The pastor was praying with his eyes open”
“Pastor don't delegate”
“Pastor delegate too much”
“The pastor don't visit”
“Our pastor is always out, visiting someone”
or
“God is not listening to my prayer any more”
“Why some people seem to be closer to God than me?”
“Why wasn't me chosen to be the leader?”
“Leadership is so political”
…
All of this blablabla was predicted by Christ when He said that because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most would grow cold. People would become selfish and they would look only for their own interests.
I mean, they are not concerned about the neighbour, his feelings, his needs. People have become blind! They only can see themselves. That's the reason some “pastors” - false prophets indeed - have just forgotten the bible and who we are – sons of God – and are creating doctrines, all of them against the word of God, creating dependency, creating weakness, creating religion and leading to death.
I'm worried about the end of age. And you should be as well.
Our speech should be always the same: the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Our testimony should be always the same: living like Jesus Christ. That means: loving, forgiving, dyeing everyday for our desires.
3We put no stumbling block in anyone's path, so that our ministry will not be discredited. 4Rather, as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: in great endurance; in troubles, hardships and distresses; 5in beatings, imprisonments and riots; in hard work, sleepless nights and hunger; 6in purity, understanding, patience and kindness; in the Holy Spirit and in sincere love; 7in truthful speech and in the power of God; with weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left; 8through glory and dishonour, bad report and good report; genuine, yet regarded as impostors; 9known, yet regarded as unknown; dying, and yet we live on; beaten, and yet not killed; 10sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything. (2 Co 6)
May God bless all of us.
