Pastor Ted Wilson Encourages Us that Now is the Time to Get Ready for the Day Jesus Returns
In this video, Pastor Ted Wilson expresses our need to get ready for the day #Jesus returns. During these last several months we have seen crises hit, one right after another, in an unprecedented way. Global #disasters, fires, the #pandemic, civil unrest, explosions, earthquakes and more all remind us that these are unusual times. And just this week, more fires broke out in the western part of the United States.
As unsettling as the many recent events are we should not be surprised. Disasters and more have been happening for years, but they now seem to be coming in succession more rapidly. While on earth, Jesus Himself told us what to expect in the last days. In Luke 21:25-28 we read, “And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.”
Let’s notice for a moment the #signs given in this passage:
1) “signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars.” Whenever these heavenly signs are mentioned in the New Testament, the sun-moon-stars sequence is the same. This fact suggests a very specific fulfillment to this #prophecy, and as Seventh-day #Adventists, we believe these signs were fulfilled by the “Dark Day" of May 19, 1780 and the Leonid meteor shower of November 13, 1833.
2) “distress of nations, with perplexity.” While there have certainly been wars throughout history, the timing of this indicates a distress of a more global nature and may refer to the world wars of the twentieth century.
3) “the sea and the waves roaring.” This could certainly refer to the increasing intensity of the destruction brought by sea-based natural disasters such as tsunamis, typhoons, and hurricanes.
4) “men’s hearts failing them from fear.” A new kind of fear seems to have arisen with the rise of terrorism along with the real uncertainties we are experiencing in the 21st century. But, praise God, we are not left in a state of fear and uncertainty!
Reading on in this passage found in Luke 21, verse 27: “Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.” And then, in verse 28, we read this marvelous promise: “Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”
Jesus is coming very, very soon. It is time, like never before, to be encouraged and to get ready for His soon return. Now is the time to let our lights shine for Him. I encourage you to #pray for God’s guidance and direction in how best you can reach others for Him.
