May 28
“Behold, he is coming with clouds,
AND
EVERY EYE WILL SEE HIM,
even they who
pierced him.
And all the tribes of
the earth
will mourn because of
him.
Even so, Amen.”
Revelation
1:7
The second coming of Jesus Christ couldn’t have taken place in
any generation before this one, because this is the first generation
in which it is possible for every eye to see him when he comes.
This
is the first generation in which this is possible, because of
satellites and technology. With tv and the internet, the news media
can capture any event anywhere in the world, and every eye can view
the news happening in real time. If a horrific event breaks out in
the far east, for example, we can watch it on our tv sets or on our
computers or phones, that same day, even with live coverage. This has never been
possible until this generation.
Jesus said that the end will
come only when the Gospel has been preached in all the world. Till
now, that meant that missionaries tried to take the Gospel to every
nation on earth. But even more than that — now we can reach the
world and preach the Gospel everywhere – through our computers, our
phones, the internet, and through tv broadcasts. No generation before
ours could ever have imagined anything like this.
“And this
gospel of the Kingdom
will be
preached in all the world
as a
witness to all the nations,
and then
the end will come.”
Matthew
24:14
Never until now has it been possible for all
the conditions to be in place for the fulfillment of the prophecies
of "the last days."
And now they all ARE in place.
They're all here!
“Even so, come, Lord Jesus!”
Revelation
22:20
