Keeping abreast of end-time events is not a choice for Christians. That is if you’re obeying Jesus’s command. He commanded us all to watch and stay aware always looking for the signs He so abundantly gave us. After giving His disciples a great detail of information about the times just preceding His second coming, He told them this: “It is like a man going to a far country, who has left his house and gave authority to his servants, and to each his work, and commanded the doorkeeper to watch.” (Mark 13: 34). He then added this: “And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch!” (Mark 13: 37). If we choose to ignore His command, we will be woefully unprepared and unable to discern the season of His arrival. He clearly stated that “when we see all these things, (the signs He had just given them) know that it is near-at the doors” (Matthew 24: 33). Yes, know! He’s given us more than we need to be ready and anticipating His arrival. “But take heed; see, I have told you all things beforehand.” (Mark 13:23)
Considering the vast proliferation of news sources available to all in our day, it takes little effort to stay informed about significant last days events. God has provided countless “watchmen on the wall” to help make sure we’re up to date. You can consider this blog as one small effort to keep you informed. Let’s all adhere to Jesus’s command and- Watch!
