20 ‘If the Lord had not cut short those days, no one would survive. BUT FOR THE SAKE OF THE ELECT, WHOM HE HAS CHOSEN, he has shortened them. Mark 13
REMEMBER YOU’RE CHOSEN AND BE THANKFUL.
There’s a lot of talk about the End Times in the Church today and the Bible accurately predicts that there’ll be many differing opinions. At the end of Mark’s Gospel Jesus was answering some of His disciples questions on the subject and the ‘ELECT’ are mentioned three times in quick succession. Right to the end of human history God will be acting on behalf of His children and taking their interests into account.
21 At that time if anyone says to you, “Look, here is the Messiah!” or, “Look, there he is!” do not believe it.22 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and wonders to DECEIVE THE ELECT – if that we’re possible. 23 So be on your guard; I have told you everything in advance. Mark 13
The enemy is always working to deceive people and the world has been and still is subject to mass propaganda through the media. The enemy seeks to control the narrative through the media at all times, but God’s Spirit is awakening people to much of this false information. Jesus prophesied that at a future time even the Elect would be in danger of being deceived. God has been using His prophets to waken the Church to the reality of what has been taking place. This is a time to walk closely with the Lord and seek discernment from heaven about the events happening around us.
26 ‘At that time people will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory. 27 And he will send his angels and GATHER HIS ELECT from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of the heavens. Mark 13
One of the last acts of God will be the sending of the angels to gather ‘His Elect’, from all across the earth. God’s Elect, the true Believers who endure to the end, will be centre stage as we approach the end of this age. MANY PROPHETIC VOICES ARE SAYING THAT THIS IS STILL SOME TIME AWAY. Believers are called to ‘Rise and Shine’ here on earth and that is what the enemy truly fears most, a United Church moving fully in the power of God.
REMEMBER YOU’RE CHOSEN AND BE THANKFUL!
God bless and keep you today. Immanuel, God is with us.
