In this war-torn world, where the media has convinced us that the world is ending, we must stand firm in the truth of the gospel. The world is not ending, nor will the world ever end. The world in how we know it will end, but not the literal, physical being of the earth. For Heaven will come down and create a New Earth where Jesus reigns for all of eternity and where His children will live for all of eternity with Him. As Christians, we are called to stand firm in our knowledge of the Word of God. We are called to preach His Word, not the ways of this world. Thus, if people want to talk about the world ending, then we can talk about how the world actually won’t end and how that is GOOD NEWS so long as we have Jesus…
Imagine if our Christian view of the End times was:
centered on preparing for Christ rather than an antichrist.
centered on the mark of the Lamb rather than the beast.
centered on preparing for redeeming the earth rather than escaping it.
centered on hope rather than fear.
Rev. Benjamin Cremer
We must be centered on preparing for Christ rather than an antichrist.
Christ is our only hope. We must prepare others for His return and reign. We must share the peace and comfort that is only in Christ Jesus… There is no need to speak of the antichrist or who he may be or any of that jazz. Many people are already talking about such things. Thus, we must center our conversations on Jesus Christ Himself and how He can and will save people from their eternal torment in Hell. For He doesn’t wish for people to end up in Hell; He wishes for them to live with Him in Heaven. But we can’t do that unless we have His blood to wash us clean and atone for our sins. For the wages of sins is death. But Jesus Christ paid the price for our sins: we need only to accept Him as such.
We must be centered on the mark of the Lamb rather than the beast.
The mark of the Lamb is the blood of Jesus Christ. His blood sets us free from eternal hellfire and damnation. The mark of the beast is, again, already something that many people talk about. Though it does matter in the sense that it is a warning from God, it won’t come until the tribulation. Thus, the mark of the Lamb is more important to be speaking of right now, because the more people that receive the mark of the Lamb won’t have to worry at all about the mark of the beast.
We must be centered on preparing for redeeming the earth rather than escaping it.
The Lord will redeem the earth… He will REGAIN POSSESSION of the earth. And when that time comes, He claims it as His Home and He sends all who are NOT His children, into Hell for all of eternity.
Many are focused on escaping the earth – I admit, I’m one of those people… It seems as though every day I am saying “Lord, please take me. Please let me come to Heaven with you. I don’t want to live here anymore. Please, bring me Home…” But I was recently reminded that this world will be our Home – soon. It isn’t yet, but when Heaven comes down and Jesus reigns, this world becomes the New Earth and the Home that we all long for in the depths of our souls.
This New Earth – our Home – is what we should be focused on and preparing people for… For HEAVEN is much more beautiful and exciting than HELL… Yet so many people talk about Hell and not enough people talk about Heaven… So be the person to talk about Heaven. More people need to know about it.
We must be centered on hope rather than fear.
HOPE lies within Jesus Christ. He truly is our only hope in this lifetime. For what is life? It is here for a moment and then gone the next. But life in Christ is eternal… Who wouldn’t want to live for eternity?
Literally all of the evil people are so set on being immortal, yet they fail to see the only way that they truly can be immortal – by believing in and accepting JESUS CHRIST AS THEIR LORD AND SAVIOUR. Only He can give us immortality… Just not in these bodies… But instead in Heavenly bodies which never wither, grow old, ache in pain, or anything like that. Our Heavenly bodies will be so glorious…
We must focus on the real goal in life: to get as many people to Heaven as we can, for they are the only “things” we can take to Heaven with us.
Jesus trusts you to help His children to Heaven; He trusts you with people’s souls. He trusts you to preach His good news and not the impending doom of this world.
Jesus said, “Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.”
Mark 16:15 KJV
You heard Him. He didn’t say to go into the world and preach the impending doom. He didn’t say to go preach about the weather or politics or useless topics. He didn’t say to preach about the antichrist or the mark of the beast or the “end of the world.”
He said to preach the gospel; preach His Word; preach the GOOD NEWS.
Well… What are you waiting for?
