Daily Devotional. Get Wisdom, get Understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the Words of My Mouth. Forsake Her not, and She shall Preserve thee: love Her, and She shall Keep thee. Wisdom is the Principal Thing; THEREFORE GET WISDOM: and with ALL thy getting GET UNDERSTANDING. Proverbs 4:5-7. BE NOT DECEIVED; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. Galatians 6:7. The following is an Exaggerated Illustration to try to make a point, and then you can put it into proper Context. Here goes. It’s the “frog in the pot of water” scenario. Put a frog in a pot of cool water, apply heat, as the temperature slowly rises, the frog will barely notice and cook to death. THAT’S MOST OF THE CHURCH TODAY!!! We all Know Jesus is Coming Back, SOMEDAY, “That’s nice, excuse me, I’m going back to sleep”. A few are watching the Biblical Calendar count down and see what happens next. And a VERY few are actually studying the Scriptures, checking off each Recognized Prophesied Event and truly see just How Close His Return Is. The frog in the pot of warming water didn’t recognize when the water became too hot to get out, (unprepared), AND IT WAS TOO LATE, TO GET OUT. How will we Believers Recognize the “moment” the 7 year Tribulation starts? (Some think we’re suddenly “gone” by then). IF NOT the “pre-trib rapture”, (and we’re still here), will there be a Trumpet Blast, a specific something event at the start, or will we actually recognize with Wisdom, Knowledge and Understanding THE START of the 7 year clock??? Or, (still illustration), could we be 3 months into the 7 years Tribulation, see the Ezekiel War as maybe only months away and the “visible” rise of the antichrist ease onto the scene, long before he stands in the Temple to declare he is God??? Yes, we see the proper List Of Events, BUT CAN WE ACTUALLY PINPOINT THE EXACT TIMING BETWEEN THE EVENTS??? Until the man of sin actually stands in the Temple and declares himself God… (well continue), to, Be Blessed?
