Then as Now!
Then as Now!
‘Behold, days are coming,’ declares the Lord, ‘when I will fulfill the good word which I have spoken concerning the house of Israel and the house of Judah.
‘In those days and at that time I will cause a righteous Branch of David to spring forth; and He shall execute justice and righteousness on the earth.
There was a general consensus that some day…this messiah would come.
This is just one of many prophecies regarding the Messiah. The entire OT is riddled with them. Many of them are far more precise that this one.
But, what’s important is simply the fact that the people of Israel were expecting this Messiah to come.
To You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.
O my God, in You I trust,
Do not let me be ashamed;
Do not let my enemies exult over me.
Indeed, none of those who wait for You will be ashamed;
Those who deal treacherously without cause will be ashamed.

so that He may establish your hearts without blame in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all His saints.
He is preparing us now!
“There will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay among nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves,
men fainting from fear and the expectation of the things which are coming upon the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
“Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
“But when these things begin to take place, straighten up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”
Then He told them a parable: “Behold the fig tree and all the trees;
as soon as they put forth leaves, you see it and know for yourselves that summer is now near.
“So you also, when you see these things happening, recognize that the kingdom of God is near.
“Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all things take place.
“Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.
They were totally overwhelmed with the state of the world.
But be aware that Jesus is near!
They were totally
