FOR YEARS PEOPLE HAVE BEEN WRITING BOOKS MAKING STATEMENTS AND DECLARING DAYS AND DATES WHEN CHRIST WILL RETURN.
BUT JESUS HIMSELF DOESN'T KNOW WHEN HE WILL MAKE HIS RETURN AND ALL WE KNOW IS THAT IT COULD BE ANY MINUTE.
Mark 13:32-37
But of that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, NOR THE SON, but the Father alone.
“Take heed, keep on the alert; for you do not know when the appointed time will come. It is like a man away on a journey, who upon leaving his house and putting his slaves in charge, assigning to each one his task, also commanded the doorkeeper to stay on the alert. Therefore, be on the alert—for you do not know when the master of the house is coming, whether in the evening, at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or in the morning— in case he should come suddenly and find you asleep. What I say to you I say to all, ‘Be on the alert!’
Matthew 25:1-13 Parable of Ten Virgins
“Then the kingdom of heaven will be comparable to ten virgins, who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish, and five were prudent. For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them, but the prudent took oil in flasks along with their lamps. Now while the bridegroom was delaying, they all got drowsy and began to sleep. But at midnight there was a shout, ‘Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.’ Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps. The foolish said to the prudent, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ But the prudent answered, ‘No, there will not be enough for us and you too; go instead to the dealers and buy some for yourselves.’ And while they were going away to make the purchase, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast; and the door was shut. Later the other virgins also came, saying, ‘Lord, lord, open up for us.’ But he answered, ‘Truly I say to you, I do not know you.’ Be on the alert then, for you do not know the day nor the hour.
FATHER I PRAY THAT YOU WILL CONTINUALLY REMIND US TO LIVE EVERYDAY LIKE IT COULD BE ANY MINUTE!!!!
