“Teacher”, they asked, “when will these things happen?” (Luke 21.7)

“As for what you see here, the time will come when not one stone will be left on another; every one of them will be thrown down.”Luke 21.6

Living in this world and seeing the happenings of everyday life, we can bravely say that we are living the last times.

Jesus and the Book of Revelations tell us about the signs of the last hour in details.

I wouldn’t like to get into minor analysis or explanations because who have ears for hearing hear and who have eyes for seeing see these signs.

There are many who devote most of their time or even their lives for searching out the last hour and decoding of the Book of Revelations but most people pass along the point.

“You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.” Matthew 23.24

The disciples asked Christ when these things will be done. They didn’t do it because of curiosity. They did it much more because the last hour meant them the hope of the Lord’s seeing again and they thought of this day as the date of their going home not as materials phenomena. They asked this as humans living in body. Later, when the Holy Spirit filled up their souls they felt the real meaning of these words.

Most people (believers or unbelievers) don’t believe in the prophecies of the Holy Bible because they say it was said 2000 years ago “the time is close” but it hasn’t fulfilled yet.

“But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.” 2 Peter 3.8

Every kind of searching is useless if we don’t understand or feel the point.

“If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can remove mountains, but have not love I am nothing.” 1 Corinthians 13.2

The real message that God manifested us through Jesus Christ is the LOVE. LOVE is not a word but the power which radiates through the universe and maintains it. In our earthly world it is incomprehensible what value and life-giving power are the Word and the LOVE’s earthly manifestations for men.

While we don’t feel Jesus’ truth all of our acts are human and their aims are human as well and they feed from themselves.

We are searching and looking but the most important is what aim drives us. What are we waiting for in the last minute?

Are we waiting for Christ or for the end of our abound?

Whatever happens in the world or however big disaster happens, most people (if it doesn’t happen to them) see these happenings without batting. If yet there was a move in them, it would be represented in the fear from the consequences of the materials.

 As the Word says:

“For this people’s heart has become calloused, they hardly hear with their ears and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them.” Matthew 13.15

They think these disasters can’t happen to them. They put to sleep their souls. They live their lives as if nothing happened. Their attention is directed only for a while by some happenings from the focus of the chasing of the materials.

“As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark.”  Matthew 24.37-38

Most of them trust in science as a shield that is stood before the power of the nature. And they also believe in human knowledge and its products which are childish toys with spiritual eyes. The time is going to come (indeed, it is here at the doorstep) when science and technology will prove their own helplessness, tininess and uselessness opposite the Divine Truth because they will prove the existence of God by their own tools. Then everybody will be humiliated and desperate who have this lifeless human science as their retreat.

Humanity piled up so much distorted and evil feelings that their reactions have become inevitable. There are and will be people to run for shelters into churches but God doesn’t live in there. The earthly churches will collapse. They have already become unbalanced with themselves so this process soon will be fulfilled. People in churches and who escape there will be buried by the ruins and they will become shambles. There are and will be some who really kept their churches and denominations’ formalities and think that they believe. However they are not believers only keep a nicely created “system” but it can’t save them as it is godless and lifeless.

We are living the era of the last awakenings.

Collecting the sheep has speeded up as the time is very close to the separation. There are many who feel the truth of the Holy Bible and can accept these lines easily. Moreover we get remarks from them because they agree with us. They are from other churches or denominations and there are many others.

“I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd.” John 10.16

YET THE MOST IMPORTANT IS MISSING FROM THIS BIG AGREEMENT: TO UNDERTAKE THE TRUTH.

Those who feel the truth of God are invited. They are invited and feel deeply in their soul what is true but DO NOT DARE TO ACT THAT.

They are afraid of being despised, kept out, told fools, scorned and stigmatized if they act as they think it’s right. Their fear is not baseless as undertaking the truth and following Christ can have even harder things as the things have just been listed above. They feel the urge in their souls but in contrast to the chosen they will be paralyzed by the fear. But if they started going on the road and got closer and closer to God, they would slowly realize there is nothing to fear for, indeed, they would realize the most fearful thing is their own fear’s fetter. For this there is a very nice example like Jonas’s book.

The chosen feel the calling word. The calling word of the Father and their souls are restless and tense. Sooner or later they will decide to go ahead with acting because the sense of justice and conscience in them can’t be suppressed continuously by the world’s false treasures. They don’t struggle for being accepted by people and they don’t want to be suitable for human expectations. THEY ACT.

They can make false decisions many times and stumble but the voice that can’t be mixed up with anything else is getting stronger and stronger and is calling louder and louder in them by getting closer and closer.

By becoming hardened to the obstacles, they have greater and greater trust in the Father. Their patience is growing and they become more and more recipient. So they hear the voice clearer and clearer. Then, they don’t stumble and God uses them more easily as tools. They are the workers of the last hour. They hear the voice of the Lord; recognize Him and the most important: they DARE TO FOLLOW HIM.

If we recognize a man like this during our lives our only opportunity is for saving our souls if we follow him. Since the chosen don’t act by themselves they are the tool of God even if they are seemingly not very nice, wealthy, accepted or strong. They can be recognized by their humbleness and they don’t act for themselves but do that they hear in their souls and serve God. They are not better than others. They simply have a different task in the divine plan because of their dispositions.

My brothers!

Don’t search for the time of the last hour! Don’t wait for acting that you believe is true!

“There is no one who can bask in the light of heaven unpunished.”

The above written are only lifeless words for those who don’t dare to be brave. Indeed, if you feel the truth of these words, you only put loads on you and you will be called to account if you don’t do that you accept as truth.

Put on your crosses as the Lord did! Don’t be afraid of undertaking the truth!
