Repent now because if you are late there is no next Time (Revelation 10:6)!
At sometime in our lifetime we have experienced
being late for something: a flight; a meeting; a train or so on. The fact is
that we were not on time!
Notwithstanding, we were able to get the next
flight, train or even possibly to arrange another meeting.
We all need to be on time for the Last Day
(Revelation 11:18).
Now here is the catch. We must be on time in
this lifetime. Unlike being able to catch another plane, train, bus, or ship,
once this life is ended, there is no next time (Acts 2:38).
Let us be very clear, absolutely no one knows
when will be the end because Jesus says: “But of that day and hour knoweth no
man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only” (Matthew 24:36).
Now therefore, while there is time today, and
we are alive, we must do as Jesus says: “…repent ye, and believe the gospel”
(Mark 1:15) because should we die before doing so, there is no other lifetime. “And
as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” (Hebrews
9:27).
Jesus issued a warning for those who do not
believe in him (John 3:16-18) (Acts 10:43): “I said therefore unto you, that ye
shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in
your sins” (John 8:24).
“Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that
your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the
presence of the Lord” (Acts 3:19).
“He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my
words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge
him in the Last Day” (John 12:48).
On
the Last Day, the Day of Judgment, the end of time, when the books are opened,
the prophet Daniel said: “And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth
shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting
contempt” (Daniel 12:2).
