So many of us faithful people are thrilled and excited at the idea of the return of our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ. Are we getting ahead of ourselves, shouldn’t we be more fearful? Just a thought for a moment, but wasn’t it the very people who in ancient times whom also was thrilled and excited about his coming, denied him, even crucified him. They also had the written word prophecy.

Why would I say to be fearful? I say to be fearful, because I believe history will repeat itself with us concerning the return of Jesus, simply due to the fact that humanity has proven ourselves to always drift far away from the true knowledge of God by our own devices and interpretations of the scriptures. The Holy Spirit is here to help us know God’s truth and yet there are so many being deceived still, especially by the heads of churches. Like the Pharisee and the scribes of ancient times, according to the Word( scriptures), they truly believe within their heart, they were right in their actions. And believe it or not, they were part of God’s plan, no different than Judas. What makes us believe, like them, our wisdom, knowledge, and understanding would be any different? Could it be that they didn’t have the New Testament, and the New Testament prophecy is more accurate? For thousands of years, with the knowledge from the Book of Revelation, Jesus return is not going to be a suprise, rather our acceptance and recognition of his presence according to prophecy is going to be the greatest test of our wisdom, knowledge and understanding, once again of the Scriptures as was back then.

Looking forward to the return of Jesus would be for my understanding the final battle to destroy Satan. The work for humanity has been completed, Jesus give himself for us and we were giving Grace to see us through. But first before we go forward to be moved aside for the battle we are going to be tested on how well learnt are we because throughout generations we were taught especially by Jesus who said, “I am the way, truth and the life…John 14:6. My fear is according to Matthew 7:21-23 Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father in heave. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord,’ have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name? And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you who practice lawlessness!’

We are always so over confident in our faith and our relationships with God. When I was younger I thought to myself about people who spoke about God like it was fact as having a one way phone conversation with Him to know it’s fact. God says to love Him with all your heart, mind, soul and love your neighbor as you love yourself, Matthew 22:36-40 and they would say, “but God our neighbors are idols worshippers, we can’t love them.” One way conversation! Knowing all who’s going to hell or not, their faith is correct no other, even to knowing how God thinks and feel concerning faith. But in the end God is the Judge of it all, not us. The question you’d ask yourself is, will God say? “My faithful servant to whom I am well pleased” or the angel comes and say? “Hail you are highly favored, by God.” But to hear those words, ” depart from me, I never knew you” would be like a knife to the heart, believing I was doing everything I thought He’d be pleased with. Doing me, claiming to serve the Almighty in man’s eyes.
