the closeness of these terrible
things to fully take place that
will also makes known how so
very close is His coming back
to this earth:
“Now WHEN these things
BEGIN to happen, look up,
lift up your heads, because
your redemption draws
near.” Then He spoke to
them a parable: “Look at
the fig tree and all the
trees. When they are
already budding, you SEE
and KNOW that summer is
near. So you also, WHEN
you see these things HAP-
PENING (
beginning to take
place
), KNOW the Kingdom
of God is near
(Luke
21:28-31).
In view of all these horrors that
are soon to be upon all Israel
and humanity, the closing
words of caution and exhorta-
tion from our Savior Jesus
Christ must seriously be kept
in mind:
“But TAKE HEED to your-
selves, LEST your hearts
be weighed down with
carousing, drunkenness,
and cares of this life, and
that Day come upon you
unexpectedly. For it will
come as A SNARE on all
those who dwell on the
face of the whole earth”
(Luke 21:34-35).
With these warning words in
mind, God’s people must
extricate themselves from the
evils of this Babylonish System
that is being manifested so
promiscuously and prevalently
in the House of Jacob:
“And I
heard another voice from
heaven saying, ‘Come out
of her My people, LEST
you SHARE in her sins,
and LEST you RECEIVE of
her plagues. For her SINS
have reached to heaven
(as
did the sins of the Pre-
Flood World of Noah, and
Philadelphia Remnant Jul/Aug/Sept 2013
21
the Cities of Sodom and
Gomorrah),
and God has
remembered her iniqui-
ties’ ”
(Revelation 18-4-5).
To be accepted by the
protective caring embrace
of Jesus Christ’s loving
arms from the terrible
times that we have now
begun entering there must
be an ongoing love rela-
tionship with Him, with
watchfulness, and never
ceasing prayers to Him,
as He made known in the
closing part of this chap-
ter of His overview of
end-time prophecies:
“WATCH therefore
(
being
very vigilant of these warning
signs
),
and PRAY Always
(never ceasing) that you
may be counted WORTHY
to ESCAPE all these things
that will come to pass, and
to STAND before the Son
of Man”
(Luke 21:-36).
