Read the Bible in a Year - Matthew 24
Today's encouragement comes from Matthew 24. This is the chapter where Jesus points out things that will signal the end of an age and the start of a new one. I know the disciples asked, like many people, about the end of the world. Jesus reveals that there really is no such thing as the end of the world. There is however, such thing as the signs of one age coming to an end and a new one beginning.
Jesus points out at least 21 different signs that will show that the age we are currently living in is coming to an end and a new one is about to begin. When the disciples said "when and what would be this" (Matthew 24:3) they were wanting concrete, solid, and minute details of markers that would point to this. Jesus, without hesitation, reveals that the number one solid concrete detail that the end of this age is about to happen is that there would be WORLD WIDE DECEPTION.
(Matthew 24:4-5). Think about the last 23 months we have went through. What has taken place? Lies, fraud, misinformation, deception on a record scale. Jesus also goes on to mention other things such as gender identity conflict, unknown diseases, ethnic conflicts, along with false prophets, just to name a few.
Then He does something amazing. He doesn't leave you discouraged or depressed about this time, but He lets us know " just as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be just before the arrival of Jesus." (Matthew 24:37) Keep this in mind....the ending and beginning of a new age is always messy. Think about a baby being born. As a couple is about to have a child, that age of just the two of them is coming to an end and a new age of three is about to begin! There is just no getting away from it. In between those two times, well, let's just say this - there's stuff that needs cleaning up. When Noah was preparing for a world-wide flood, it was messy and yet also the most supernatural and miraculous time to be in. I mean, eight people without modern equipment, built a vessel that would house all the worlds animals, birds and insects. Noah didn't even have to go out and corral or wrangle them up - they just came to him! This is incredible! Not to mention all the food that each would need - it was provided supernaturally! WOW!!!
This year of 2022 you get to choose. You can choose to be a part of the messiness or part of the miraculous. The signs are all here. An age is coming to an end and a new one is about to begin. Let's be part of the miraculous and watch what you will do and what will come to you as no mess will get through. Only God's Favor - it's true!!
