When I awoke this morning, I heard in my spirit “Now is the time!”
Matthew 24:44 “So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.”
The headlines are screaming the signs of the times in Biblical prophecy – are we listening? Now is the time, Church, to listen with spiritual ears and to see with spiritual eyes and to understand our times.
Every day in the news we hear about more and more things happening in this world that are straight out of the Bible! We can read about wars and rumors of wars, famines, earthquakes, etc. and it seems our senses are dulled into believing it doesn’t have any special significance. Wake up Church!
Are we so accustomed to hearing about these things that we have begun to be dull of hearing? Do we have spiritual eyes and ears?
Now is the time to prepare!
Read again the scriptures and then compare them to the headlines:
Matthew 24:7 “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.”
Matthew 24:29 “Immediately after the distress of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.”
Rev 6:5-6: “I looked, and behold, a black horse; and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand. And I heard something like a voice in the center of the four living creatures saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not damage the oil and the wine.”
Now here are the headlines of recent days:

Matthew 24:32-34 “Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door. I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened…”.
If you really believe and understand the times, what are you doing to get ready? Be ready – have your heart ready – have your home ready! Don’t be dull – sharpen your spiritual senses!
I am called as a watchman, but sometimes I feel like John the Baptist crying out in the wilderness! I can only pray that somebody somewhere is listening and taking it to heart.
Matthew 24:37-42 “As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left. Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.”
