MIDDLE EAST TURMOIL AND THE SECOND COMING

CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY AUGUST 7, 2024

     I’M HEARING SOME PREACHERS AND OTHER END OF THE WORLD PREDICTORS SAYING THIS TIME THE MIDDLE EAST COULD EXPLODE ENOUGH FOR THE LORD TO RETURN. WHAT BELIEVER DOESN’T LONG FOR THE LORD’S RETURN TO PUT AN END TO SUFFERING, DEATH AND YES, TAXES!

     BUT SCRIPTURE TELLS US HE WILL COME WHEN WE LEAST EXPECT IT. IF WE ARE EXPECTING IT, HE ISN’T COMING. WE SHOULD ANTICIPATE HIS COMING AND ORDER OUR LIVES ACCORDINGLY. ANTICIPATION IS DIFFERENT FROM EXPECTING.

     STILL, ALL THE SIGNS ARE THERE. BUT LET’S REMEMBER THAT WHEN JESUS WAS ASKED WHEN HE WOULD RETURN HE SAID ONLY THE FATHER KNOWS. ONLY THE FATHER KNOWS.

     PEOPLE HAVE WRITTEN BOOKS ABOUT CURRENT EVENTS THAT SHOULD HAVE SIGNALED THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST. TODAY ONE MINISTER IS INVOKING EZEKIAL 38.

     BETTER TO CONSIDER REVELATION 22 WHEN THE ANGEL SAYS TO JOHN: “DO NOT SEAL UP THE WORDS OF THE PROPHECY OF THIS SCROLL BECAUSE THE TIME IS NEAR. LET THE ONE WHO DOES WRONG CONTINUE TO DO WRONG; LET THE ONE WHO DOES RIGHT CONTINUE TO DO RIGHT; AND LET THE HOLY PERSON CONTINUE TO BE HOLY.”

BY THE WAY, THIS IS WHY POLITICS CAN’T FIX THE ONE DOING WRONG. BEHOLD, HE IS COMING SOON. I’M CAL THOMAS.
