Don’t Delay

Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth—to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people—saying with a loud voice, “Fear God and give glory to Him.”

Revelation 14:6-7

Imminence refers to something that could happen at any moment. In the Bible, it refers to the fact that the Rapture could occur at any moment.

This doctrine is illustrated in Romans 13:11 where Paul says, “Now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.” The Rapture of the Church—the next event on God’s end-times calendar—is closer today than yesterday and will be even closer tomorrow. Throughout biblical history, God has urged people not to put off believing in Him and conforming their lives to His will. And He will continue to do so until Christ returns. The apostle John saw in his vision an angel declaring “the everlasting gospel” to those on earth during the Tribulation.

As you anticipate Christ’s return, share the Good News with others so that they have an opportunity to accept Christ and are able to anticipate His return as well.

The imminent return of our Lord is the great Bible argument for a pure, unselfish, devoted, unworldly, active life of service.

R. A. Torrey

Isa 55:6-7

6 Seek the Lord while He may be found;

Call upon Him while He is near.

7 Let the wicked forsake his way

And the unrighteous man his thoughts;

And let him return to the Lord,

And He will have compassion on him,

And to our God,

For He will abundantly pardon.

Heb 4:7

"TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE,

DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS."

Jesus is going to return! It could be soon…but if it is not (by your years of life standard), you only have a limited time to come to Him in faith believing to be saved from the penalty of your sin against God. Eternal joy and peace, eternal judgment, pain and suffering. How many moments do you have left to come to Jesus before it is too late?
