Prepare The Way

Daily Devotional – November 30

Speaking of John the Baptist:

“For this is he who was spoken of
by the prophet Isaiah, saying:
'The voice of one crying in the wilderness:
"Prepare the way of the Lord,
make his paths straight.'"
Matthew 3:3

That was 2,000 years ago. And now in this generation, we are working in the role of John - urging people to come to repentance because the coming of the Lord is near. John spoke concerning Jesus's first coming. We are speaking because his second coming is at hand.

This is a special generation. We are called to understand the signs of the “last days.” It began with the restoration of Israel to the Jewish people after 2,000 years of their dispersion throughout the world. That day, May 14, 1948, was the signal to all who understand these things that this is the generation that will see all the prophecies fulfilled.

In the passage where Jesus told what would be the signs of “the last days” he added:

“Verily I say unto you,
this generation shall not pass,
till all these things be fulfilled.”
Matthew 24:34

And they are being fulfilled right before our eyes.

Hear a prophecy by Sir Isaac Newton in the 17^th century:

"About the time of the end, a body of men will be raised up who will turn their attention to the prophecies, and insist upon their literal interpretation, in the midst of much clamor and opposition."  -Sir Isaac Newton

That is exactly what is happening now. Men in the spirit of John the Baptist are seeing the prophecies being fulfilled and are calling all to repentance, because they understand the days we are living in and are desperate that men be saved.

Let those who have ears to hear, hear therefore.
