"LOOK UP YOUR REDEMPTION DRAWETH NIGH" is a scripture that I have heard from childhood. When these things (wars, rumors of war, earthquakes, famine, nations rising against nation, deception, rebellion, lawlessness, false leaders, etc.) start to happen in the world we are to stay strong and true because Christ is getting ready for His Return.
One of my daughters asked me last summer what we should be doing during these times. I sat down at my computer and searched my mind from all of the teachings of my mother, my pastors and God's Word. I came up with a simple list for believers to follow:
1. The outlook is not good for all Nations, BUT we have HOPE.
2. We should be prepared at all times, perhaps getting supplies in for a month.
3. The Bible says we will know a prophet's message is right if it comes to pass. So I don't really pay much attention to specifics from "so called prophets" making specific predictions. I look at the warning signs and prepare from them.
4. We need to make sure our lives are right with God.
5. We need to pray for our nation and leaders.
6. We do not need to fear, because we've read the book, and it is happening just like it said. God is in control! He is orchestrating it all!
7. We don't know the time, neither does anyone else. Change is here, and we will deal with it. Our world is getting into a position where the Anti Christ will be welcomed to solve it all and bring peace. This we know is coming, and the Bible says when we see these things coming to pass, "LOOK UP FOR YOUR REDEMPTION DRAWETH NIGH."
8. When we see "red flags" (warning signs) we need to pay attention. Warning signs are all around us.
9. We need to get our finances and house in order - no matter what!
10. God has promised throughout the Bible that He will take care of the righteous. We live day by day, doing the best we can.
The End of This Age need not be fearful if we are at a place with God that Trust & Hope surround us. When Joshua was about to take over leadership, change was evident, God told him to "Be Strong and Courageous, Strong and Very Courageous and be careful to OBEY the Law" (which is God's Word)
This is an exciting time. If FEAR is in your hearts, search the heart of God. He HAS NOT GIVEN US THE SPIRIT OF FEAR, BUT POWER, LOVE AND A SOUND MIND. Perhaps it is time to get "your heart and house in order".
