Forward:

I long ago recognized that no man knows the day or hour of Jesus' return. And although the following prophetic word indicates His second coming is at hand, we must always be mindful that to the Lord a 1000 years is as a day and a day as a 1000 years.

So although it is "at hand", it might yet be many years in the future. Having said that, we must consider the whole council of God, and recognize that Jesus told us the redemption would be as in birth pains and that means as we approach that day, things will be happening in greater and greater rapidity and intensity.

As I survey the prophetic landscape, from a purely Biblical perspective, I cannot help but be overwhelmed with the rapidity of prophetic events taking place. Therefore it is best to live like He is coming today, but continuing to "occupy" until He comes.

This means, that like Jesus, we must be about our Father's business, being ever watchful of the "signs of the times" so we are not surprised or caught off guard by His sudden return, but continuing to do what He has called us to do.

If we will do these things, we will be encouraged to live holy and spotless lives, as pure vessels of honor, suitable for use in our Master's kingdom.

==================================================================

My Son,

Rejoice, for the appointed time of My return is at hand. Although many see it not, it is coming. It is rising before their very eyes, but they do not see. So many have been blinded by the prince and god of this age that they cannot see that the glory of My return is upon them.

The earth and all that is within it is shaking. Soon great signs in the moon and the stars shall be seen.

Many shall heed these signs and purify themselves for My return, and yet, many shall not see what was fortold.

Tell them of My return. Tell then to prepare themselves in soul, body and spirit. Soon the Desire of the Nations shall come. The wrath must be unleashed on a sinful and unbelieving world. The time for repentance grows short. Yet, there is still time.

I will open doors for you. Tell them! Tell them! Tell them and you shall see My glory rise before them.

Rejoice for the time is at hand.

"Watch and pray, therefore, that you would be counted worthy to escape the judgment that is coming upon the earth and be able to stand before the Son of Man" (Luke 21:36).

Maranatha!
