Are You Ready? By Moran Rosenblit
"…there shall be famines and earthquakes in diverse places. But all these things are the beginning of travail." Matt. 24:7b-8
"I say unto you, in that night there shall be two men on one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. There shall be two women grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left." Luke 17:34-35
We all have heard and seen the horrific pictures from New Zealand and now from Japan. As I was watching the live photos streaming from Japan, I could not stop thinking about the verses above.
You've heard it before, but I think we can safely say that we are indeed living in special and unique times; we are witnessing prophecies unfolding before our eyes. But I can tell you without a doubt that these troubling times are only the beginning of what's to come.
I believe that the most important questions we need to ask during these times are "Am I ready?" and "Are those around me such as my family, friends, co-workers, etc. ready?"
One of the things that was repeatedly said on TV today is that there was nothing these people could do, that they had nowhere to run, no place to find shelter. One has to wonder what thoughts went through their minds as they saw the enormous waves coming towards them, and not being able to escape? What about those who were not prepared?
It may be too late for the victims of these terrible events, but I believe there is something you and I can do. We can make sure we are ultimately concerned about the more important issue, which is the eternal one.
I would like to ask each of you reading this if you are ready. Are you ready for the day that your life on this earth will end? What will happen then? Do you know that there is a hope and a future?
This hope is found in eternal life with our Heavenly Father that can only be found through faith in His Son, Yeshua, whom he sent for you and me.
If you are ready, if you have accepted God's atonement for the world, what are you doing about it? Do people only know you as a "believer" or do they know why you believe? Did you take the time to prepare those who are around you in order for them to be ready as well?
I am sure that the people in Japan did not think it would come this fast, but it did and it can happen to you and I as well.
Are you ready?
