Get Ready!
As I was thinking about the events taking place in the Middle East, namely, the uprising of Egypt, Iran, and now Libya; it makes me wonder what kind of man can possibly solve these problems. The people are taking control by ousting their leaders, but have no idea who will replace them. It reminds me of the scripture in Luke 11:24 “When an impure spirit comes out of a person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ 25 When it arrives, it finds the house swept clean and put in order. 26 Then it goes and takes seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that person is worse than the first.”
It seems the whole world is coming to a boiling point in one way or another. I have an uneasy feeling that the time is ripe for someone who will take advantage of this madness and chaos by offering peace and hope to that that part of the world. Someone like Amadinejad, the President of Iran who is very cunning and has that infectious smile. He looks like the type of fellow you might want to hang out with and maybe take him to the church picnic. Somehow I don’t think he is as friendly as he would have us to believe. We only need to listen to some of his rhetoric to know how truly evil he is. I was reading Daniel 11:37 about the end times and some would say the portrayal of the Antichrist. It says: “Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all” (King James). I never noticed it before, but, could it be possible that the Antichrist could be a gay man? I find it very interesting considering the times we are living in.
We, as Christians need to be on the look-out as these events keep unfolding. No one knows the time or the hour that Christ may return, but, we are to be watching and not sleeping. We need to get ready and be ready for the return of Christ.
