Recipe for Living®
By Stevie Phillips, Inspirotional Writer
Only His Heavenly Knows When The End Will Cosae
The scriptures inform us that Jesus told the disciples that no one but His
Heavenly knows when the end of the world would be.
Jesus did warn against false prophets in Matthew 24:4-5 (“And Jesus
answered unto them. Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall
come in my name, saying I am Christ and shall deceive many.’"
Matthew 24:11 — “And many false prophets shall rise and deceive many .’
Jesus told the disciples that we would be able to discern certain signs of
the times that we could also discern happenings to let us know when the end
would be drawing near, and be ready, as the day and hour no one would
know, and to be ready because the day and hour we “think not” that would
be when Jesus would return. The scriptures tells us not to fear, but to lift up
our heads and rejoice as our redemption is drawing nigh.
God so loved us that He promised to be with us always, even unto the end
of the world! He tells us in his word to occupy until He comes, and to keep
witnessing to the world that God so loved us that He gave us Jesus to die for
us, and-that Jesus came that we might have life more abundantly.
When we have the love of God shed abroad in our hearts, we can rejoice
with joy and gladness with peace in our hearts that Jesus gives to us when
we accept Him and receive Him as our Savior and the Lord of our life.
Remember, God loves you!
