"Warning Signs"

"They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all." Luke 17:27

When asked what would be signs of His return, Jesus told us certain signs to look for. We are seeing those signs fulfilled. I believe with all my heart that the return of the Lord is on the horizon. It won't be long. In saying that, I am not saying that it will happen tomorrow- but it might- but it also might be a few more years. Even at that, time is passing so quickly, years seem no longer than months any more.

Even with all the warning signs, even with all the prophecies, even with all the alarms that are being sounded, even with all the events that are being fulfilled, I am alarmed at the number of people who are ignoring them. Multitudes just aren't listening. They aren't heeding the warnings. They are going on with life as usual. They are still "eating, and drinking", and living life like it's some big party that will never end.

Because they are not heeding, they are not making preparation for their souls. Instead they are mocking and making fun of those who are sending out the cry, "Prepare the way of the Lord". It has been my experience from just living on earth that you don't ignore warnings. We have a siren that goes off in our town that alerts us to a tornado- we don't ignore it, but instead we seek shelter. When the fire alarm goes off, we don't ignore it either, we exit the building. When driving down the street and I hear a siren, I don't go ahead and cross through the intersection, I wait for the police car or ambulance to cross first. The consequences for ignoring these warnings can be fatal.

If we heed these physical warning signs to protect our lives, why we are neglecting the warning signs to protect our souls? We certainly can't say that we haven't been warned. We are being warned. What are you doing with the warnings? Are you heeding them? Are you making preparation for your eternal soul because of them? Are you ignoring them and not making sure that it is well with your soul? As in the day of Noah when the flood came upon the earth, those who heeded the warning- Noah and his family- were saved. Those who didn't perished. Which group do you want to be in? Heeding brings the blessings of safety and eternal life. Ignoring brings the consequences of destruction and death.

Have a great day. There are many warnings signs and if you are wise you will heed them.
