It's Friday

At times it feels like the week goes by so slow and other times it feels as if it goes to fast. What I was thinking about yesterday was 9/11. If you read what I posted in the past then you know exactly how I feel about 9/11. That feeling has not changed. Matter of fact the smoking gun is the nano-thermite that was found at the site.

The reason I'm talking about it again is the feeling I got that day. We don't know what's going to kick start the Great Tribulation. We do know that it's near. How close? Well that's hard to say because no man knows when the end will come. Only Jehovah knows but he didn't leave us in the dark he gave signs. When 9/11 happened I couldn't help but wonder if this what starts the Great Tribulation?

The world did indeed change since that happened. Increased violence, wars, crimes, murder, rape, etc....The on going threat of weapons. The possible pandemics that they say will take place. How close are we to the end of this system? It's only natural to be scared but we must pay attention to ourselves and what we do in life. We must stay spiritually awake. Luke chapter 21 verse 34 through 36 says to pay attention to ourselves.

We cannot allow ourselves to be influenced by the thinking of this world. Worldly thinking is seductive and can induce a person to overindulge in fleshly pleasures or to become so weighed down with life’s problems that we no longer put Kingdom interests first. Such a course weakens a person spiritually and could leave him or her indifferent about his responsibilities toward God and others.

We could become inactive or jeopardize our place in the congregation by committing serious sin, perhaps even displaying an unrepentant attitude. Each individual in the great crowd must pay attention to himself. We must keep separate from this ungodly world and its practices. So ask yourself " Will I be ready when the Great Tribulation takes place? "

If we are not then we still have time now to correct any issues we may have. The spiritually appointed Elders are there to help us. They can give the needed counsel to help us get back on the road to life now that we have time. Recall those in Noah's day who did not take what Noah was saying serious enough to make a change. We all know what the result was and it's going to be the same for us if we don't make a change.

Have a great weekend.
