Zec 8:15 “so now I have determined to do good again to Jerusalem and Judah. Do not be afraid.
Infinite God – There is no beginning or end for our God….. our God is in control of every situation, he knows every problem and works… our Lord knows everything and in His wisdom says ‘now is the time’ because the time has come, our waiting is over and it is time to grab, get or attain what is lost.
Determined to do good again – Our God is always determined to fulfill His promises for it will never go in vain. He will do great and might things for all those who trust in Him. As the word of God says For He who began the good work in you will be with you till the end.
Do not be afraid – Fear can paralyze our life now and in the future. Fear not has been mentioned 366 times in the bible; therefore do not be afraid for God is able to sustain us through in all good and bad situations. Fear not, Fret not, nor faint not….. Father in Heaven is in control.
Trust in God and His promises.
WARNING TO FLEE
We are living in the last days, the Lord’s coming is very soon. The nature, politics, everything is getting ready to meet the Lord. The bible calls us also to be ready to meet the Lord.
In Amos 4 : 12 & 13 says Prepare to meet your God, O Israel!”13 For lo, he who forms the mountains, and creates the wind, and declares to man what is his thought; who makes the morning darkness, and treads on the heights of the earth the Lord, the God of hosts, is his name!
The bible clearly warns us, When you know trouble is ahead, it is time to move to safety. . The Old Testament discribes the destruction of Sodom was preceded by a warning to flee from the city before they were also killed (Genesis 19:12-16).
The religious leaders who had no intention of repenting, but came to see John the Baptist baptising, then he revealed to them by saying, “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?” (Matthew 3:7) … but they were just Blaming, playing religious games and did not think that God’s judgement would fall on them.
In Luke 21:20-24 “When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, you will know that its desolation is near. Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those in the city get out, and let those in the country not enter the city. For this is the time of punishment in fulfilment of all that has been written.
Jesus was very specific about the destruction of Jerusalem in AD70, describing some of the coming horrors in graphic detail. After a siege of 143 days, 30,000 Roman soldiers battered down the gates of the holy city destroying everything including the magnificent temple and killed over 600,000 people.
Throughout the bible God’s caution and God’s compassion urges us to be prepared to meet the Lord.
Repent & Come to the loving Arms of Jesus be saved. Time will Delay no longer.
