Jesus is Coming Soon!
And I prayed that what I was hearing in my head was actually a message that Christ's return is truly imminent. I know that those who are believers in Jesus Christ are also eagerly awaiting His return...but there are many who will scoff and think we have gone off our rockers to be saying this.
My prayer today is that we would each be sure that we are ready to meet the Lord in the air at any time. Whether He comes to rapture His Bride, the Church away, or if He calls for us individually to come on home, we need to be ready. The trumpet could sound at any moment.
Here is a link to many Bible verses that speak about Christ's return:

I know there are some scholars who will say that all of the prophecies concerning His return have not yet been fulfilled...and that may be true...but we do not know the exact hour that Christ will come to rapture the Church away before the beginning of His literal reign on the earth...before the Great Tribulation...so we need to be ready.
Jesus was not willing that any should perish...
2 Peter 3:8-10 (KJV)
8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
So we need to be ready!!
These photos are of the Swallow-tailed Kites that have come back to nest in our neighborhood. I have seen three so far...not sure if there is a 4th one, but seeing them gliding through the air so smoothly makes me think about the day when Christ will call for us to meet Him in the air...
Here's another old hymn: "What If It Were Today?" This video has the words, but just with the accompaniment and no singers...so if you know the song, you can sing along.
Okay friends...I've shared what the Lord laid on my heart to share with you today. I pray that each of us is truly ready for Christ's return!! What if were today??? Would you be ready? I pray that your answer would be a resounding YES!!
