Hello friends, last week on IN TIMES LIKE THIS we expatiated on the darkness that will come on the earth in this last days.
And we pointed to Extreme climates, from global warming to drought sweeping a whole community. Heat waves and cold waves killing hundred of people. Hunger on it's rise as the earth seems barren, etc.
Today, let's take a peep into the the same verse of scripture; “For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, AND GROSS DARKNESS THE PEOPLE: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.”
Isaiah 60:2 KJV.
And gross darkness - This means a thick vapor, Deep obscurity, tempest. The Hebrew word translated here as gross darkness usually denotes thick cloud, cloudy darkness, gloom; and is often applied to the thick clouds of a tempest Exodus 20:18; Deuteronomy 4:11; Psalm 18:10.
It is a word of intenser meaning than that which is rendered 'darkness' and the idea here is, that the nations would be enveloped in a cloud of ignorance and sin so dense and obscure like never seen before.
Anyone who cares to notice can see that in our world today, evil happenings are becoming the main stay. The mainstream media keeps us updated with the rampage of evil occurrences.
Terrorism is more at home than it was before, just the other day a man walked into a secondary school in the US and killed many innocent children.
Today evil is just a phone button away, it is even seen as trendy. If you don't subscribe to it , you are rendered a novice. Truth is, evil sells today.
Every nation on the earth is fighting one menace or the other. All these point to the time we find ourselves. The last days are here with us.
We are at the edge of the age, the coming of the King of kings is at hand, the Lion of the tribe of Judah is coming back to receive his own to himself. ARE YOU READY?
ARE YOU BORN AGAIN? Jesus said to Nicodemus "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
John 3:3 KJV.
To be born again is to believe in Jesus, that he died for you, was buried and God raised him up on the 3rd day. To confess his Lordship over your life with your mouth.
If you want to make Jesus the lord of your life,then say this prayer whole-heartedly
and believe it:
O Lord God,i believe in Jesus Christ,the son of the living God.i believe God raised him from the dead and i confess with my mouth that Jesus Christ is the lord of my life from today.I received by faith,remission of sins for my soul right now in the name of Jesus Christ,I receive eternal life into my spirit.thank you Lord i am saved.Thank you for saving my soul.I am born again now.Thank you father.Amen.
GO ACHIEVE
