TODAY MAY BE THE DAY!

Well Folks, tonight at church, when Daniel Crews powerfully sang Midnight Cry and Rick Coram preached from Matthew 24 on "Today May Be The Day" - I was expecting to hear the trumpet and the shout and be caught up to meet Him in the clouds!

 The signs indicate that He COULD come today!  When He does there will not be time to get ready!  NOW is the time!  Behold TODAY is the day of salvation!

 Matthew 24:36; 42; 44  “But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only…  Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come... Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.”  I Thessalonians 4:16-18  “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.  Wherefore comfort one another with these words.”No one knows when; but it could be today!  I would love for it to be today, because I am ready and watching.  I pray that it’s not today because of all those who haven’t heard that they are redeemed and don’t have to die in their sins and spend an eternity in Hell with the Devil and his angels.  They have been freed.  Their debt has been paid by Jesus. They only have to believe it and repent (turn away from sin and turn to God) and receive a new life filled with The Holy Spirit of God!

 Jesus came to earth to redeem sinful mankind from an eternal death and separation from God The Creator.  He did that over 2,000 years ago.  He Left and went back to Heaven to prepare a place for those who believe they are redeemed and have a new life that is eternal with Jesus!  He is coming back just as He promised…and it could be today!  (John 14:1-3)*

 Please believe…repent…and receive eternal life…and be ready for His coming!  It is a matter of life and death – the choice is yours!

 *2 Peter 3:8-10a ”But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.  The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.  But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night…”

 It has been said by some theologians that this could be significant with creation and the end.  Seven days of Creation = 7 thousand years!  Creation was actually 6 days and God rested on the 7th day.  Biblical history has the timeline of 4,000 years from Adam to Jesus.  Since Jesus we have completed 2,000 years, that would equal 6,000 years or six God days!  The Millennial reign of Jesus on earth for 1,000 years would be the 7th day of rest.  This 1,000 years begins at the end of the seven years of Tribulation.  Do the math…….

 Maranatha!  Even so, come Lord Jesus!

 MIDNIGHT CRY
I hear the sound
Of a mighty rushing wind
And it’s closer now
Than it’s ever been
I can almost hear the trumpet
As Gabriel sounds the call
At the midnight cry we’ll be going home.
Chorus:
When Jesus steps out
on a cloud to call His children
The dead in Christ shall rise
To meet Him in the air
And then those that remain
Will be quickly changed
At the midnight cry (at the midnight cry)
When Jesus comes again.
