I'm Still Coming!

Jesus says,

   "And behold, I am coming speedily..." 

   "Behold, I am coming soon..." 

   "[Surely] I am coming quickly (swiftly, speedily)..." 

      - Rev 22:7, 12, 20 (AMP)

The Dreams

It’s 12 noon and I’m standing outside looking up into the sky, I see the sun,but It looks like it’s covered up by a thick black shadow (just like when there’s a total sun eclipse) with two large angels standing beside it. It was day, yet it looked like night. I suddenly realized that I wasn’t the only one beholding this strange sight; there were lots of people who were there puzzled just like me…

Like a curtain folding in a play, the scene ends and then, another begins…

I’m standing in an open land, there are no plants, trees or vegetation, just empty dry red dusty land; at a distance, I hear people cheering, so I walk towards them, what could they be cheering at in a place like this?, I wondered. As I pushed my way through the crowd, I noticed that they had made a circle and right in their midst was a creature so hideous, that it made chills run down my spine! The creature was humongous; bigger than the mountains behind it, it had the body and feet of a lion with seven snake-like heads, it’s skin was rough, red and dry…The people just stood there gazing in adoration, clapping, and cheering the creature on.

I look at the creature in horror and the faces of those I was standing close by. I couldn’t understand their delight, all I wanted to do was run away…I looked behind me and I saw a door, I grabbed the arm of the person closest to me. Hurry! I said, there’s a way out of here! Hurry!! He looked at me like I was insane and pulled his arm from mine as I ran out through the door..The door slammed shut, I woke up, Then I heard the Lord say,

“Tell them, I am coming soon”

I remember about 20 years back, there was a lot of fuss about Jesus coming soon, predictions were made by lots of people concerning the end times. Most Christian movies were about the rapture, antichrist, and the mark of the beast. Cults rose up with leaders who took advantage of their followers by making false predictions about the end of the world.

However, as the years have gone by with 'the end' not in sight, many have stopped anticipating His return. Jesus gave us an illustration concerning this:

“When the Son of Man returns, it will be like it was in Noah’s day. In those days before the flood, the people were enjoying banquets and parties and weddings right up to the time Noah entered his boat. People didn’t realize what was going to happen until the flood came and swept them all away. That is the way it will be when the Son of Man comes."

 - Matt 24:37-39(NLT) 

As believers of Jesus, we have to be cautious of the times we live in, and do as Jesus instructed;"You, too, must keep watch! For you don’t know when the master of the household will return—in the evening, at midnight, before dawn, or at daybreak. Don’t let him find you sleeping when he arrives without warning.I say to you what I say to everyone: Watch for him!” - Mark 13:35-37(NLT)

And for those who don't have a personal relationship with Him, I implore you to do so now. He is waiting with open arms to accept you just as you are (Please click here to find out more).

  

With Joy and expectation in my heart, I join the heavens to say; Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!

Stay Blessed.
