"No One Knows"
No one knows the day or hour,
But closer than we were,
And no doubt He’s coming back,
The devil can’t deter.
But when you see the things we see,
The love is growing cold,
And lawlessness is on the rise,
And evil gets so bold,
You wonder if the antichrist,
Is somewhere on this earth,
It seems the lines are being drawn,
I think, for what it’s worth.
And I’m no doomsday prophet,
But Jesus said the final sign,
Was that the whole wide world would hear,
And that was His dateline.
And we see this happening,
For every people group,
So be alert and ready,
And in the Spirit’s loop.
One day every knee will bow,
And every tongue confess,
Jesus Christ is Lord of all,
He comes to fix this mess.
And I for one think it could be,
The end is very near,
And that is why we focus,
On living clean and clear.
“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of [a]heaven, but My Father only.” (Matthew 24:36 (NKJV)
Jesus said that no one knew the day or hour of His return to earth. This is something only the Father knows, but no one else. So knowing the exact time of Jesus’ coming is not important for us. However it is important to pay attention to the signs of His coming and to be ready, by the grace of God. Thought there are many predictions, the final sign is being fulfilled in unprecedented ways. Jesus said that when this happens the end will come. What is it? It’s the proclamation of the Good News to every people group. For the first time in history, we are almost there. The point? If you love Jesus, it’s to live in eager anticipation. Otherwise it’s time to seriously consider giving your life to Jesus Christ.
Lord, help us be ready for Your coming, in Jesus’ name.
