For Such a Time as This!


Have you ever wondered what conversations in Heaven will be like? There are some we will see there that lived in times like no other, they have stories about the times they lived in that no one else experienced. Is there anyone that comes to mind you would like to sit down with and ask; “what was it like”? Maybe it is Noah, and you want a first hand account of the flood, or how about Enoch or Elijah and talk about their one way ride to heaven, how about Moses and the Red Sea… or how about us?
Last night I watched two videos from UN meetings in which Sarkozy (French President holding EU Presidency) and Barroso (EU Commission President) were calling for a New World Order, “New World Governance”, “New Global Order”. The discussion was not in the context of a suggestion but more along the lines of; “let’s complete what we've already started so we can solve the current financial crisis”… watch for yourself, http://www.infowars.com/?p=5549 .
It doesn’t matter if it is this video or the hundreds of others that are making there way around You Tube and other sites… there is plenty of evidence to suggest that; “the times they are a changing”…
To me it is exciting, for the same reasons that I mentioned at the beginning of this post. There are definitely some things to fear. Jesus called it; “a disastrous time like no other”. But, some one has to be the last generation… why not us? What if it is us? Do you think about it… or is it outside of your comfort zone, that most want to continue living in? If it isn’t in our time, then it’s no big deal… but if it is then, WOW! I mean what else can you say, there isn’t much we can do about it, other than hold on and do your best to enjoy the ride… but when it is over, we will have a story to tell in heaven like no other. The story of what these last days were like… and then what I think will be the favorite story for all of us to tell, the twinkling of an eye change into our new bodies and the upward rush of going to meet Jesus in the sky…

Matthew 24:40 "Then there will be two men in the field; one will be taken and one will be left.

Matthew 24:30 "At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory.

1 Corinthians 15:51-53 Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality.

Throughout the ages many have thought; "this is the end time"… but until now no one has had the opportunity to view the past and the present from the perspective that we have. Almost every prophecy the Bible predicted has come to pass. There is very little left to be completed, and that which is left are predictions of those last few days on earth. Jesus truly has been preached to the four corners of the earth, and the world is definitely moving in the direction of a centralized economy and government. There are so many things taking place right before our eyes, events that are setting the stage for the last act of the show.

A time like no other, given to a people born for such a time as this!

Are you ready?
