Christ's Soon Return

SERIES: THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES 10/13/13
There is an increasing interest in the theme of the end of the world in movies, with only four in 1950, to more than 75 in the period from 2000 to the present. Now most of these movies have little or no biblical basis, but Hollywood only produces what sells, and that indicates that our culture has an intensifying interest concerning the possibility of the end of the world.

I find it interesting that the converse seems to be true in the church. It would seem to me if the world is interested in the end times, the church ought to be preaching about the end times, so the world can hear God’s version instead of Hollywood’s version, but that is not the case.

The Bible promises over and over the return of Christ, and warns of the end times. This is not some story that Hollywood made up. This is the Word of God, and it will come to pass. Peter’s reason for writing His letters is to remind us what the prophets have said concerning the 2nd coming of Christ, and to stir us up to think about these things again. This morning we need to be reminded that Christ is coming, the end is near, and we need to be prepared.
