"To know the time of Jesus Return"


 
I would like to comment on a scripture that is being worn out "the day or hour no man knows" unduly.  Many of peoples discussion or attempts at correction are based on ignorance of the Whole Truth of Gods Word!  The Bible tells us to study to show our selves approved which means therefore that we must indeed study the scriptures in their entirety.  How sadly many will be left behind as a result of such ignorance.
 

Rev 3:3    Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as

               a thief, and thou shall not know what hour I will come upon thee.
1Th 5:1     But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
1Th 5:2     For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
1Th 5:3     For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall 
not escape.
1Th 5:4     But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
1Th 5:5     Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
1Th 5:6     Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
1Th 5:7     For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
Psa 90:12 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

Mat 24:43 But know this, that if the good man of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would
               have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
Mat 24:44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
Luk 12:37 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit

                down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.
Luk 12:38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
Luk 12:39 And this know, th
e goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be

                broken through.
Luk 12:40 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.

How many are not actually watching as we are warned to do.  How can you be called to watch if you do not know?  Why is God telling us the difference the light and the dark, what about discerning the seasons .....  “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge…,” Hosea 4:6. 

More and more I see that ignorance is on the rise and yet it does not have to be that way but if you choose to be that way then I suggest you do not attempt to point fingers at those who do, it may just cost you that much more dearly.

 

On the other hand there is something regarding Noah: 

Oh, we want a nice pretty picture of the world and our goal is to simply share with people “God loves you.” Could you imagine Noah preaching “God loves you” with a big smile on his face to that wicked generation. Do you think Noah hanged a sign on the ark saying “God loves you?” Come on! we are going to stand before a holy God that has called us to preach repentance to men with our life’s and words. Noah was a repentance preacher, firstly that he separated himself from the whole wicked world system, and secondly in his preaching he shared that message. The church cannot preach the true gospel until they have fully repented and are living in that reality. A separated church is the only Church! God is calling men to be separated unto His will from our rotten dirty selfish wills. The words of the Epistle to the Hebrews said of Noah: “by the which he condemned the world.” He condemned the world by living righteousness and staying pure amidst the moral landslide around him.

I agree without doubt .... try and speak to some (I am not saying all) only to find out that the lovey dovey speech of salvation will in these last days be mocked.
