The Latter Days Coming

 After many days you will be visited. In the latter years you will come into the land of those brought back from the sword and gathered from many people on the mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate; they were brought out of the nations, and now all of them dwell safely. Ezekiel 38:8

Sometimes we do want to think about them and sometimes we don't want to ponder on the excitement of the day, but the latter days come closer and the latter years are upon us. The world does today exactly what our Lord said would be done near the end as people will this day return to school and work, get married and give in marriage, get drunk and stupid (the link between those two is well established), and sleep to our Lord's coming. I paraphrase a bit, but we know well that the end times are here and the great return of our Lord Jesus is near. 

Now, what do we do about it? Certainly we do not want to stop it like the unbelievers do. Nor do we want to delay it, as if anyone could. Our Lord cannot be rushed, though we are welcome to pray that He hasten while we endure our tribulation in this age. Of course we know that we have been given a mission, a great commission to perform until the day of His coming. We who live in the salvation and grace of our Lord Jesus have some good news to spread to those without much time left. 

Praise God it is not long now!
