Today I want to read 2 articles I received this past
week. In different ways, they hopefully give you reasons to
pause and think even more about the fact that we are not living in
a normal, business as usual world. This is certainly intended
to make you worry but rather to shock you a bit into a greater
sense of urgency of where you are in your walk with God and with
living out His plan for your life, both inside your job and outside
your job.
Surprisingly, these articles have nothing to do with the jab,
masks, Biden, Putin, Klaus Schwab, high gas prices, or empty
shelves. I figured you already knew about those things.
The first article is from ProphecyNewsWatch.com and was
originally written by T.W. Tramm from The Season of Return
Ministries.
If you're not normally particularly interested in prophecy and
have a general bias against what you consider "date setters", you
may be tempted to tune out during this article. I would ask
you not to do so, both for the content of this article as well as
for the rest of what we're talking about during this episode.
You may justify wanting to tune out because of a verse where Jesus
said we won't know the day or the hour. I say that because I
used to use that verse to dismiss those who would talk about
prophecy and condemn them as date setters. Let's read the
context of that passage, Matthew 25:1-13 "“Then the kingdom of
heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and
went out to meet the bridegroom. 2 Now five of them
were wise, and
five were foolish. 3 Those
who were foolish took their lamps and took no
oil with them, 4 but the wise took oil in their vessels
with their lamps. 5 But while the bridegroom was
delayed, they all slumbered and slept.
6 “And at midnight a cry was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom [a]is coming; go out to meet him!’ 7 Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ 9 But the wise answered, saying, ‘No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’ 10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut. 11 “Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ 12 But he answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.’ 13 “Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour [b]in which the Son of Man is coming."
