Can you even bear to read Matthew 24 without being called to action through conviction?  Try it.  If you are able to stand still after reading Jesus’ Words of Prophecy regarding what must “quickly or swiftly” come to pass, then you are frozen, disobedient, naive or just plain deceived to the coming events and judgment.  The modern term “Tipping Point”, appropriately defines the times in which we currently reside.  The pregnant moment before a storm is birthed, those few seconds when a family may seek shelter armed with the knowledge that what comes our way is “life” threatening.  We should be preparing for the raging winds, rising tides, rage, disillusion and raw emotion headed our direction.  But even having missed such preparedness we should be seeking shelter, hunkered down, alive in Christ our only salvation and peace in the coming world turmoil.  I repeat, “this is not a drill” this is actual emergency and you should refer to the salvation manual at once for directions on how to find safety in chaos.  The Bible is your only guide to safety, unless of course there is a good Christian man or woman near to you, someone to provide clear discernment of God’s prophecy for the coming age.

I do not call to alarm but to peace.  The only available peace in this world that is soon to be broken beyond repair.  The peace of God that surpasses all worldly understanding and gives the hungry, sick, tired, crippled and alone, Hope.  Hope to face the giants, calm the seas, avoid disaster, find food and secure safety in the midst of utter destruction.  If you do not have God through Christ, you will stand against the coming tides of judgment.  You will caught up in the overwhelming force of each crashing wave of war, pestilence, pain, sickness and defeat, a refugee from peace thrown about by the ministrations and machination of chaos.  We have seen whispers, models and demonstrations of the coming unrest throughout humanity.  These are the birth pangs, labor pains and signs to which our Savior counseled, “Prepare”.  Run to the shelter in the Arms of Almighty God, this very moment.  Do not wait until the tipping point has been crossed because what shall come following that transition may not be withstood by human hearts, minds and legs.

Come Lord Jesus, but if it be Your Will wait until each heart that may be brought into Your Kingdom makes that righteous decision to surrender and follow You.  My rest is in You and I shall not be swayed though the mountains descend into the ocean and the fires destroy the tapestry of mankind.  For my hope is not in those things that may be seen and understood by my limited thinking they are instead firmly rooted in Your Promises, Your Strength and Your Provision of safety and rest.  Let me stand in the coming storm and shout the Mighty Name of God, Jesus My King.  Victory is upon us.  The Kingdom is Come.  Amen.
