It Is Inevitable!

Reading:  Revelation 6

My Verse:  “Then the kings of the earth and the great ones and the generals and the rich and the powerful, and everyone, slave and free, hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains, calling to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him Who is seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb, for the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?” (6:15-17).

All the way back into the Old Testament this Day of the Lord is predicted.  You, Lord God, have given us ample warning to the coming of this great day.  And yet even with that so many will be taken unawares, because they have closed their minds to Your Truth.  They refuse to attend to the spiritual needs of their souls.

I love how all of Your word is so connected.  The Bible is so many books but it is really one book and the main topic is You. 

Isaiah predicted this day.  “Enter into the rock and hide yourself in the dust from before the terror of the Lord and from the glory of His majesty” (Isaiah 2:10).

Malachi 3:2 says, “But who can endure the day of His coming?  And who can stand when He appears?”

Joel 2:10 also speaks of this day.  “The earth quakes before them; the heavens tremble.  The sun and the moon are darkened and the stars withdraw their shining.  And the Lord utters His voice before His army, for His host is very great, and strong and powerful who execute [God’s] word.  For the day of the Lord is great and very terrible and who can endure it?”

Yes, that great day is coming!  For those of us who love and worship You, it is our great hope and we look forward to it with anticipation.  For those that refuse You, well, it will not be a good day.  But You plead with them.  “Therefore also now, says the Lord, turn and keep on coming to Me with all your heart with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning [until every hindrance is removed and the broken fellowship is restored] (Joel 2:12).

O, LORD God, I place before You, those loved ones that do not yet know You.  Open up the eyes of their hearts that they may see You, that they may see Your love for them, and how You desire to love them and fellowship with them.  Draw them to You, dear Lord.

For that great day of Your return is coming – it is inevitable!
