"...I Will Be With You Wherever you go." # 1: Many will Come (part one)

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous & I will be with you wherever you go.”  Joshua 1:9

The election of a president for the next four years, has come. Who will win this round? Will it be Biden or Trump? It has not yet officially been called. But it looks like it has been said that it is a very close race. And I would add, a race of good and evil. But that aside, over the past year, months and days Christians have been talking about "end times" and wondering if this election will throw us in to them even more quickly then they have to date. And probably most of those Christians have felt that if the wrong man gets appointed, the end times will draw even closer than it already has. I myself have been a part of some of those conversations and it is my prosomal belief that yes, if the wrong man is appointed, we will be drawn closer to the return of Jesus Christ. I have had friends say, "It is the sign of the times." And yet, there have been many "sign of the times" since the biblical days. In Mathew 24:4-12, Mark 13:3-23 and Luke 21:7-17, the question was most probably heavy on the minds  of Jesus' followers, for 3 of the disciples to have recorded it their writings in the Bible.

"Teacher, when will these things actually be and what will be the sign and when will these things will occur?"  Luke 21:7

The first answer to that question was that Jesus had said in verse 8, "do not be mislead, that many will come on the basis of his name, claiming to be him and they were not to follow after them.

And in just that statement, we find profound prophesy. For many have come, claiming to come on the basis of his name and to be him. Some have even said they are God himself and Jesus is their son. And many have followed after them and given their life for a fake god or jesus. Only to die and wake up on the other side, at the door of hell itself.

That sign is just the very first sign. What are the rest? When can we expect the return of Jesus Christ the true Son of God? Will it be when this election is over and if the wrong person is revealed? Could it be that it doesn't matter which man could bring it on?

Come back tomorrow and we will continue on with what the "Signs of the times" could mean for us in the day we are living. Please understand that I am not a Bible expert, but just explain what I have been raised and trained in and believe to be true. 

In the mean time, are we to fear this time of life when things look so grim for the world, neighborhoods and our homes. "Be strong and of good courage for the Lord will go with you where ever you go." 

Thanks for coming today, Friends. May God bless your day no matter how it may turn out.
