S - Matthew 24:3 - As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?" 4 And Jesus answered them, "See that no one leads you astray. 5 For many will come in my name, saying, "I am the Christ,' and they will lead many astray. 6 and you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are but the beginning of the birth pains.
36 "But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only. 37 For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, 39 and they were unaware until the flood came and swept then all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
O - My child whom I love, today I want to tell you . . . no one knows. It says it right there in the Bible. So, if you believe the Bible and believe that I am coming back someday, why don't you believe that part. There are many who claim to know when that day will be. Don't believe them. They using man's finite wisdom to try to guess at God's infinite wisdom. It can't be done. But, you are to be ready at any time. Just as those people who have said that the day was coming and it didn't, there will be people predicting the day and they will plan for that day and they won't be ready when the actual day comes. It is just a good idea to be ready every day and at all times.
A - No one knows when the Lord will return to gather his church to him. No one knows when the end of time will be. Many have guessed and they have all been wrong. It is just a good idea to plan for it at any time. I we are in the midst of sin and he returns, we will be "caught with our hands in the cookie jar!" It is probably the wisest thing to just stop sinning, as much as possible, and anticipate that the Lord will be returning in the next few moments. But, don't be disappointed. If he doesn't come right away, that give us more time to do his work here on earth and try to gather more people into his church so they will also be saved on that day.
P - Heavenly Father, forgive me for my sins. Forgive me for anything that I have done that has led anyone astray or has impeded anyone from entering into your kingdom. Help me to live in such a way that many more will want to develop their own relationship with you and come into your kingdom. Help me to look only at you and not to believe, or even listen to, those people who claim to know when you are returning.
