Waiting For The KING We have had a past; even an ancient past. We also have a future filled with prophecies that have not yet been disclosed. The past tells us about the attributes of the God, Who created the universe. We know about Moses, Abraham, David, Job and many more men and women in the Bible. We have heard and read about the fallen angels who followed Satan. Most Bible ‘readers’ know much about the ancient times, yet there are still many mysteries that people cannot find out on their own.  The depth of knowledge is scattered throughout the Bible, yet though, so many people never take time to study what the Word has to really say. Revelation gives us an understanding of Christ, the conquering King of kings and Lord of Lords. It explains the reason why Jesus came to this earth, why He loves us so much and why He willingly died on Calvary’s tree. The book of Revelation is the culmination of the ages in one respect, and in another, it is the unveiling of the things to come in the future.  We need no road map to the future ~ because He (the Messiah) has already planned each day of that future. But, before someone says, that isn’t fair, bear in mind that from the beginning of Time until now, God has been watching over us. When He made man, He included FREE WILL for mankind. God did not manipulate any of us; He couldn’t because of the gift of Free Will that He placed in each one of us.  What actually happened was that before the beginning of Time, He looked down through the annuals of the ages, (even to this very day), and watched each one of us, even though we hadn’t existed at that time.  He knew each of our names and what we would become on earth. And when Time was ready, He created the heavens and the earth and made Adam (man) in His own image. Unfortunately, from that time on man has progressively leaned more on himself, and then He does on God. It might surprise some people, that life on earth has radically changed, but not those who have their eyes and ears open in these, last days.  The changes in this world are not a change for the good. We are now living in perilous days, and if you do not believe this, just open your Bible and read the accounts of the Old Testament Prophets. Many prophecies have already been fulfilled and the Signs of the Times are upon us. The signs are back to back now.  These signs are but the beginnings of the birth pangs of a world in prevail.  All about us is destruction and man cannot stop Nature’s Fury, as thousands die by hurricanes, storms, earthquakes, pestilences, famine, wars, and more.  Surely it can’t be long until the Age of Grace is over, and then comes the days of Tribulation. Jesus is waiting for the Father to call His own home before the awful days commence. If you are not ready to meet Jesus when He comes, I strongly suggest that you now come to the Cross - where Jesus bled and died.  If you are backslidden, Repent! And then go trim your lamp and keep looking up for He is coming one day soon. Tara Hart © 2008
