"Watch and pray...." Matthew 26:41 a
I am sure many of you have heard about September 23; many of you may not have. If you haven't, it seems as though there are those who believe that there will be a fulfillment of Revelation 12 because of events that are taking place that day in the Solar System, namely the Constellations.
I have watched videos and television programs about it as well as discussed it with other people. There are many varying views-- and much speculation. Some believe the rapture may take place. Some believe this may be the start of a great war. Some believe the Tribulation will begin. Some believe nothing will happen. Some believe it is a hoax. Some believe it is the fulfillment of Biblical prophecy and a true sign from heaven. So, which is it?
To be honest, these types of things intrigue and interest me. You can't help but wonder when you put all things together. When you start doing the math on the timeline, when you put the Blood moons in the equation, the fact that it is on the Feast of Trumpets, Rosh Hashanah the Jewish New Year, a Jubilee year, etc. Is this for real?
I would like to add my "two cents" to it. There is much speculation about it, and that is all I can say myself. I don't know what it means, if anything. We will have to wait until the day gets here to find out. The day may come and go as usual or there may be some major event unleashed. But what I really want to say is this-- we need to live everyday sold out and surrendered to the Lord. Then it won't matter what does or doesn't happen. We need to live our lives as my husband always likes to say-- with our lamps full and our wicks trimmed.
Whether anything happens or not is in God's hands. We just need to make sure we are in His hands too. Don't be consumed with signs. God does give signs, and signs in the heavens, so we can't just completely ignore things. But the thing we need to most concern ourselves with is being right with God. So if something does happen, it won't destroy us, make us fearful or lead us astray. The thing that is most important is to be right with God. He is coming again. I believe by the signs of the time that it won't be long. Are you ready? Have you made peace with Him through the shed blood of His precious and only begotten Son Jesus? Do you know beyond a doubt that your name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life? Do you know that when you stand before Him one day that He will say to you, "Well, done good and faithful servant, enter in"? These are the things we need to concern ourselves with.
What do I believe about September 23? The same thing I believe about every other day of the year-- "Therefore be you also ready: for in such an hour as you think not the Son of man comes." (Matthew 24:44) He can come for me at anytime, through life or through death. So I must be ready. Are you?
Have a great day. Stay focused on what is sure to happen, not on what might or might not.
