Jesus' Plan to Return
The Bible clearly states that Jesus has a plan to return, drive evil off the planet, and establish a world-wide government based on love and righteousness.
The Jewish world waited for thousands of years from the time of the prophecies of the messiah, until the birth of Jesus. After thousands of years of waiting, on one day, the prophecy was fulfilled. The world was literally turned upside down by Jesus physical 33-year life as a man. What seemed long in coming, came like a tidal wave and began on a day no one expected.
Those same prophets that predicted Jesus coming like a lamb the first time spent much more time describing how He will come a second time like a lion. Jesus Himself described the state of the world at His second coming. He said He would come "like flood," and said "like in the days of Noah" people would be caught totally unaware, despite the incredible signs happening all around them.
The world is nearing the crest of a wave of incredible change. When a surfer wants to ride a wave, they paddle into position as the wave nears. Too far back, and they miss it entirely, too far forward and they get pummeled by the wave. Surfers know that to enjoy the power of a wave, position at the time it breaks really matters.
Jesus said that the position of my heart, the focus of my life, will really matter when the wave of change preceding His second coming breaks. Over and over He told His disciples "watch, watch, be ready, watch". He said "don't let that day catch you unaware."
What seems slow in coming now will seem too fast once the wave of His plan breaks. Things are intensifying and speeding up even now. Many say "I don't watch the news" because they don't like the intensity and confusion engulfing the globe right now. This is the time to watch.
Many think that what will happen will just happen, and that we have no part in it. This is completely contrary to what Jesus and the prophets taught. There are many things for a follower of Jesus to do. Now is the time to find out what those things are, what Jesus himself said...now is the time to paddle into position for the biggest wave of change ever to hit planet earth!
2 Peter 3:3 Most importantly, I want to remind you that in the last days scoffers will come, mocking the truth and following their own desires. 4 They will say, "What happened to the promise that Jesus is coming again? From before the times of our ancestors, everything has remained the same since the world was first created."
Matthew 24: 42 "So you, too, must keep watch! For you don't know what day your Lord is coming. 43 Understand this: If a homeowner knew exactly when a burglar was coming, he would keep watch and not permit his house to be broken into. 44 You also must be ready all the time, for the Son of Man will come when least expected.
