« Listen carefully, the day of the LORD is coming, Cruel, with wrath and raging anger, To make the land a horror [of devastation]; And He shall exterminate its sinners from it »
6 Wail, for the day of the Lord is at hand! It will come as destruction from the Almighty.
7 Therefore all hands will be limp, every man’s heart will melt,
8 And they will be afraid. Pangs and sorrows will take hold of them; they will be in pain as a woman in childbirth; they will be amazed at one another; their faces will be like flames.
9 Behold, the day of the Lord comes, cruel, with both wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate; and He will destroy its sinners from it.
10 For the stars of heaven and their constellations will not give their light; the sun will be darkened in its going forth, and the moon will not cause its light to shine.
11 “I will punish the world for its evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; I will halt the arrogance of the proud, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
« Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left »
- On that very last day, many will lose their friends.
Husbands will be separated from their wives.
Some mothers will be separated from their children.
One will go on to heaven while the other will remain.
That fellow who has been preaching to you to live a holy life will no longer be there to preach to you, he or she would have been raptured.
I also will no longer be here.
Beloved, surrender your life to Christ now and live holy so that you will not be left behind on that day.
- From that day on, all these things that you chase – money, houses, cars, fame, marriage and so on will be of no relevance.
The only thing that will matter is whether you are in heaven with Christ or on earth with the Anti-Christ.
There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Isaiah 13:11NLT says
« “I, the LORD, will punish the world for its evil and the wicked for their sin. I will crush the arrogance of the proud and humble the pride of the mighty »
For those of us who will go to heaven, weeping will end permanently that day (Revelation 21:4).
The world may be mocking us for living holy now.
They may seem to be enjoying life now, but that very last day is coming when the sorrows of everyone who had not surrendered to the Lordship of Christ will begin.
- On that day, in the parts of the world where it will be daytime, the sun will not shine its light.
Where it is night, the moon will be darkened.
The punishment of sinners would then start.
Oh, I hope you will not be around to experience the punishment that will come after rapture.
I can assure you that you would wish you had given your life to Christ.
Put aside all the cares of this world that are hindering you from living holy now; they will no longer matter on that day.
I pray you make it to heaven, in Jesus’ name.
Application – Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come (Matthew 24:42).
Author – Bishop Enoch. A. Adeboye.
