Unfolding prophecy is the guidepost of our century.  God has waited, dispensing grace and mercy through His saints and angels to a world that rarely considers His beneficence.  The sweetness of sustained providence has fattened those basked in its wonder lulling many to lullaby, humming contentedly ignoring the sharpened edge of prescribed judgment.  As a humanity we catapult along the thoroughfare collectively ignoring the warnings of upcoming tolls and outed bridges.  We dabble in mysticism, consort with wickedness and toy with unrepentant sin, seemingly oblivious to predictive wisdom and Bible declaration.  These things will shortly and perhaps swiftly come to pass.  The harvest comes.  The earth is ripe for gleaning as both sin and righteousness have reach the seasonal tipping point.

All eyes should be firmly set upon Israel and specifically Jerusalem, as the events predicted by God’s prophets will originate in the homeland designated for His people.  All the supporting cast have been mustered and stand ready and oddly willing to launch the events ending in Judgment.  Do we not see the bud, uncurling and know that the pages of Biblical prophecy act as individual leaves to God’s unfolding masterpiece?  Do you see how Russia, Persia (Iran), Muslim nations and even those countries of Northern Africa have gathered for the slaughter?  Who can deny the current disarray of both Israel’s historic enemies Egypt and Syria representing the lure of world and violence?  These places have been purposely stirred and thrown into chaos, war and poverty by God’s almighty Will to disarm them in their attempts to forcibly capture Jerusalem.  They cannot bring to bare their desires for the necessity of dealing with their own internal maelstrom.  This is God’s merciful plan to save them for the good pleasure of conversion to worship.

When two armies enter the field and prepare siege engines and supplies for extended assault, war is shortly over the horizon.  When black clouds hover over the landscape, sending shards of lightning careening to the ground in passionate outburst, storm is certain.  When the leaves begin the twirl earthward in dramatic colors of orange, crimson and gold preparations for winter’s arrival must already be in full bloom.  The harvest time is coming and yet we stand idle at home as the fields remain untended.  The apostasy, also predicted thousands of years prior has taken its toll on the faithful.  Our churches are infiltrated by imposters, bidding us to dilute the waters of life with impurity.  We have fallen prey to ignorance and ill attendance to prophecy and are just as guilty as the fallen or unbelieving.  Few recognize and respond to God’s heraldic predictions.

Get ready, be ready and keep your eyes skyward for the Coming of Our Great God is near.  He has patiently provided mercy awaiting our response to His calling.  This time He will come to dispense justice for our actions, inactions and wickedness.  All will see the Glory of Our Coming Lord and wish that they had headed His Prophecy, but that moment will be a late revelation.  We apparently are destined to suffer the passion of His Wrath.  Oh precious Lord let me reach those who will listen to Your Story of Glory and things that will certainly come to pass.  Let them hear Your Words and run from the judgment to come, run directly into your arms the only place of safety, mercy and strength.  Forgive my shortcomings, but hold me accountable to the work You have set before me.  I want to do Your will and lay the ground work for Kingdom Come.  Have mercy on all of us in this coming hour of need and triumph.  Let us remain true to the faith.  Praise God in the name of Jesus Christ the Redeemer of mankind.
