What would it take to convience you that Jesus is coming in our generation? How many scriptures would it take to convience you that Jesus comes AFTER the tribulation? What would it take to convience you that Jesus coming is not a secret or hidden event?
As prophecies unfold we have many christians still not believing that Jesus is coming in our life time and after the tribulation. Jesus is a man of His Word! He wants us to know the signs and times. Why? So that we can be prepared, ready, waiting, and watching for the glorious event of Jesus' coming.
Many do not want to suffer and die for Christ's sake. Many do not want to know the truth. Many are afraid to go through any pesecutions, trials, or tribulation.
I ask you what did Jesus withhold from you? Nothing! Jesus gave up all for us. Jesus left His throne of glory. His heavenly of heavenlies to come to earth as a servant in human form. There was not one thing that Jesus withheld from us.
Jesus gave up everything and every drop of His blood was shed for us. Jesus did not hold anything back from us. This also includes His Word. Jesus wants us to know the signs and the times. Jesus wants us to have His Word in good ground where we understand it and bring forth fruits. These fruits are other souls into His Kingdom.
What kind of God would Jesus be if He knew something terrible was coming to His people and did not warn them?
If right now where you sit, I knew a tornado was coming toward your house and did not tell you, would you think I loved you? Jesus warned us of what is coming before His coming.
This warning is called Great Tribulation.
Jesus told us in Matthew ch. 24, Mark ch. 13, & Luke ch. 21. These warnings (prophecies) are happening right before our eyes. One must have eyes to see them and ears to hear.
Jesus did not hide the prophecies from His children. He gave us many signs to warn us and to prepare us for what is ahead.
