Our paragraph topic is: (Darkening of sun and moon) Part 10.
It reads like a movie script, this last section of sentence 30, a science fiction movie where everything is going to piceces and the earth is ending in destruction with no salvation. The sun does not shine, the moon does not give up its light, the stars fall from the heavens, all is dark in the sky. What is mankind to do? What is happening? What is the explanation?
We know that wind has great power and rain has great power that man has not conquered. Definitely water has such destructive power that we all run from its force. So what is happening now that all these things are occuring? Is the earth falling out of orbit, spinning out into space? Is mankind doomed to certain death? Is there no hope for us?
Christ has predicted that these are signs of his coming, signs of the last days when the judgment will take place. He has fortold what will take place so that mankind will have written history two thousand years before it actually happens that those who are not believers can believe.
We are seeing some great power happening today with hurricanes and fires and volcanos erupting all over the planet. What will happen next? Will the sun refuse to shine? Will the moon not glow? Are we coming to the end of times or are these just natural occurances? Is the thief coming in the night? Are we prepared to meet him to protect ourselves from destruction?
Each waking day we must put on our armour and be ready to do battle, asking God for the strength and the courage to repel the onslaught of evil that we face. We must be ready, daily, and pray that we do not see the last day coming.
Read the sign of the times! Read the Highlighted New Testament Bible and lift the scales from your eyes that you may see, that you may know, that you may find the truth of who you are in Christ. Read it as though you would read a good book, from cover to cover, and see for yourself. Do not study it in parts reading one passage and then skipping to another, but read it for understanding. Read it for knowledge. Read it for faith. Read it that your eyes may be opened, that your ears may hear, that your heart may be filled with the light of Christ . The Holy Spirit awaits you. Christ seeks to know you. Open the door and let him in.
