Gen 42, 43; Ps. 5; Luke 17
Scripture: The disciples asked, “When will all this take place?” Jesus answered, “When people see vultures sitting in the trees, they know that a life is about to end. And when God’s people see all these things happening around them, they will know that my coming is near.” Luke 17: 37
Observation: Just like a vulture lurking around in the air, on the ground, or in a tree, we know when we see this type of thing taking place it’s because a life is ending. These birds are waiting to get at the dead carcasses, so they may eat their remains. The same analogy takes place to know the sign of the times of Jesus’ return. We read our bibles to know what signs will take place and know we are living in them. Look at all the strife in the world that is going on: Wars, rumor of wars, pestilent, famines, high crime rate, etc. If this isn’t what God was talking about being the end of time then what are we all going through this for if not to prepare us for his soon return?
Application: We need to be prepared for Jesus’ return. We need to study our bibles, tell people about Him, and work in preparation for Him. To prepare for His coming can be a big thing like evangelism or it can be as small as talking to one person about Jesus.
Prayer: Dear Lord please helps me to be strong and to have a wisdom of knowledge of You so I can prepare not only myself for the day of Your coming, but also others. Amen
