Are You Fulfilling Prophecy?

Are you fulfilling prophecy—in a negative way? Take a look at these questions and corresponding scriptures. See if any fit.  

1. Have you said, “People have been saying Jesus is coming back for YEARS…and he still hasn’t come!”?  

“Knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, and saying, ‘Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.’” II Peter 3:3-4

2. Do you refuse to reach out and love your neighbor because of fear? Is there so much evil and craziness in our world that you feel safer locked behind your doors?

“And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.” Matthew 24:12

3. Has “take care of myself first” become your motto? Are you consumed with making money or are you impressed with how much you have?

“But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money…”  II Timothy 3:1-2

4. Do you call yourself a Christian—but never open your Bible and read it? Is your life powerless spiritually? 

“(In the last days, men will) have a form of godliness but deny its power. And from such people turn away!”  II Timothy 3:5

This is just a short list. I don’t believe we have much time before Jesus comes back. Matthew 24:40-42 says, “Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming.”

He’s coming soon! Are you ready? Or will you be left behind? Jesus very clearly said, “Follow Me!” And he meant we should follow him with all of our hearts—and watch for his soon return!
