ARE YOU READY TO MEET THE BRIDEGROOM?

AT THAT TIME

[The Last of the Last Day of Time; this Day we are living in]

The Kingdom of Heaven will be like Ten Virgins

Who took their Lamps and went out to meet the Bridegroom.

Five of them were Foolish and Five were Wise.

The Foolish ones took their Lamps

But did not take any Oil with them.

The Wise, however, took Oil in Jars along with their Lamps.

The Bridegroom was a Long Time in Coming,

AND THEY ALL BECAME DROWSY AND FELL ASLEEP.

AT MIDNIGHT THE CRY RANG OUT:

HERE'S THE BRIDEGROOM!

COME OUT TO MEET HIM!

Then the Virgins Woke Up and Trimmed their Lamps.

The Foolish ones said to the Wise,

'Give us some of your Oil;

Our Lamps are going out.'

'No,' they replied, 'there may not be enough for both us and you.

Instead, go to those who sell Oil

And by some for yourselves.'

But while they were on their way to buy the Oil,

THE BRIDEGROOM ARRIVED.

THE VIRGINS WHO WERE READY WENT IN WITH HIM

TO THE WEDDING BANQUET.

AND THE DOOR WAS SHUT.

Later the others also came.

'SIR! SIR!' THEY SAID. OPEN THE DOOR FOR US!

But He replied,

'I TELL YOU THE TRUTH, I DON'T KNOW YOU.'

Therefore KEEP WATCH,

Because you do not know the Day or the Hour.

(Matthew 25:1-13)

'Let your Light Shine before men,

That they may see your Good Deeds

And Praise your Father in Heaven.

(Matthew 5:16)

Be Dressed and Ready for Service

AND KEEP YOUR LAMPS BURNING,

Like men waiting for their Master

To Return from a Wedding Banquet,

So that when He comes and Knocks

They can Immediately Open the Door for Him.

(Luke 12:35, 36)

For the Grace of God that brings Salvation

Has appeared to ALL men.

It teaches us to say 'No' to Ungodliness and Worldly Passions,

And to live Self-Controlled, Upright and Godly lives

IN THIS PRESENT AGE,

WHILE WE WAIT FOR THE BLESSED HOPE--

The Glorious Appearing of our Great God and Savior, Jesus Christ,

Who gave Himself for us to Redeem us from ALL Wickedness

AND TO PURIFY FOR HIMSELF A PEOPLE

THAT ARE HIS VERY OWN,

Eager to do what is Good.

(Titus 2:13, 14)

THE DAY OF THE LORD WILL COME LIKE A THIEF.

The Heavens will Disappear with a Roar;

The Elements will be Destroyed by Fire,

And the Earth and Everything in it will be Laid Bare.

Since Everything will be Destroyed in this way,

WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE OUGHT YOU TO BE?

You ought to live Holy and Godly lives

AS YOU LOOK FORWARD TO THE DAY OF GOD

AND SPEED ITS COMING.

THAT DAY will bring about the Destruction of the Heavens by Fire,

And the Element will Melt in the Heat.

BUT IN KEEPING WITH HIS PROMISE

We are looking forward to a New Heaven and a New Earth,

THE HOME OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.

(2 Peter 3:10-13)

NOW THERE IS IN STORE FOR ME A CROWN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS,

Which the Lord, the Righteous Judge,

Will Award to me ON THAT DAY--

And not only to me,

BUT TO ALL WHO HAVE LONGED FOR HIS APPEARING.

(2 timothy 4:8)

Christ Jesus warned us:

Be always on the Watch,

And pray that you will be able to Escape All that is about to happen,

And that you may be able TO STAND before the Son of Man.

(Luke 21:36)

Today, the World is raging against God, Rushing toward Oblivion. (Psalm 2)

This World in its Present Form is Passing Away. (1 Corinthians 7:31)

America is being Ground to Powder because of her SIN against God.

Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)

As God has Written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!

Father, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
