With all of the recent events and natural disasters we are seeing, there have been lots of people quoting Scripture and telling us that the world is going to end soon. They tell us that we are seeing the end of the world as we speak. We can look at what Jesus says in Luke 21 and identify several things that are taking place today. Nations turning against other nations (21:10) and we are seeing so much tension and hate and racism within our own country. Earthquakes like the one in Idaho (21:11) fires throughout the entire country, hurricanes forming left and right (21:25).
2 Timothy 3:1-5 says, “But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.” These are all certainly characteristics we see today.
So what does all of this mean? Is Jesus coming back today? Tomorrow? The truth is none of us know. Matthew 24:36 tells us “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” However, we do know that we are closer to the 2nd coming of Jesus today than we were yesterday. And as a Christian, this is both exciting and terrifying. We are closer to spending eternity in Heaven with our incredible, loving Father. But there are also so many people who die every day without ever hearing the Gospel. They may go their entire life without ever hearing the good news that they have a Father who loves them and wants to spend eternity with them.
“What’s next?” Is often a question I hear when I tell people that I’m going on the World Race. And my honest answer is I don’t know. But what I do know is that right now, the time is here to spread the Gospel. The time is now to go into all nations and tell people about the love of Jesus Christ. It can’t wait. The world could end tomorrow, so don’t let today go by without declaring the good news of Jesus.
-Luke Troyanek
