Scoffers in the Last Times

These people are grumblers and complainers, living only to satisfy their desires. They brag loudly about themselves, and they flatter others to get what they want. But you, my dear friends, must remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ said. They told you that in the last times there would be scoffers whose purpose in life is to satisfy their ungodly desires. These people are the ones who are creating divisions among you. They follow their natural instincts because they do not have God's Spirit in them. Jude 1:16-19

Are we in the Last Times? Some people think that we are getting very close to Jesus return for His church…the Rapture. So many Biblical prophesies have been fulfilled on Jewish Feast days. The next unfulfilled prophesy is the Feast of Trumpets that occurs on Rosh Hashanah. This year that feast day occurs on October 2. Jesus told His disciples that no one knows the hour or the day…let alone the year. So we don’t know what year this will occur. We do know that other prophesies were fulfilled on Jewish Feast days.

Jesus said…So you, too, must keep watch! For you don't know what day your Lord is coming. Understand this: If a homeowner knew exactly when a burglar was coming, he would keep watch and not permit his house to be broken into. You also must be ready all the time, for the Son of Man will come when least expected. Matthew 24:42-44. Be ready. What can you do to “be ready?”

Prayer ~ Jesus, I eagerly anticipate to Your return. I’m scanning the sky waiting and watching. You’ve given us some beautiful sunrises, sunsets and rainbows. Awesome. No scoffing here.
