THE 15TH OF AUGUST
GOD’S WORD IS EVERLASTING
“Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.” – Matthew 24:35
All Jesus’ words have supreme authority, as He knows the end from the beginning. Nothing is hidden from He and the Father. God knows everything that was, is and will be on earth until the end and He foretells us as much as we need to know in order to be prepared and remain true to Him as long as we live in these bodies.
From the 15th verse of the same chapter, Jesus started to tell about the events that will precede His return on the clouds, at the rapture of His true church. Jesus was talking about tremendous tribulations that will come in the end times, but we should not be afraid, even if we would still be here, because as He said in verse 33, “when you see all these things, know that the Son of Man is near, right at the door”. And when He will appear, every eye will see Him and our tribulation will end as we will receive our glorified bodies as we meet our Lord in the air and join Him as He returns to heaven.
Jesus said that we should expect for heaven and earth to pass away, because they will, but His words will not pass away, but they will remain and will be fulfilled. His Word is the absolute, valid truth and we can be sure that whatever our Lord says will always come to pass.
SUGGESTED PRAYER
Thank You Lord for all the warnings about end times. Please help me never lose heart, but be of great courage that You will see me through and help me remain faithful to You until the end. Lord please help me keep my heart pure and give me more hunger for God’s Word and for Your presence. Please help me always focus on the things from above and not on what belongs to this earth, so that whatever comes my way, I can overcome it with Your help. In the Name of Jesus I pray. Amen
