The first call of warning that Jesus is coming soon is current technology. This is an amazing fulfillment of prophecy which shows that God’s Word is true and that Jesus is coming soon! Revelation 13:16 states, “And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: and that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.”This talks of two aspects: 1) That there will be a cashless society. Two thousand years ago when this was written, there could have been no thought given to a time without money being exchanged. I can buy gas, groceries, go out to eat, attend a sports event and never one time have to use cash; and 2) That there will be a mark in the hand or forehead. If you could not buy or sell without this “card,” you would be doomed if you lost it. So instead of a credit card, you will have a mark. This corresponds to a computer chip. This technology is here today. There are chips that can be put into your pet. They are talking about using these chips for newborns.Note that the King James says “in” their hand or forehead. The logical word would be on, but once again the Bible shows incredible accuracy!
Another incredible fulfillment is found in Revelation 11:9. There will be two preachers who preach righteousness and salvation until they are killed. When they are killed, the world will rejoice that these two troublemakers are dead. They will not even allow their bodies to be buried. “And they of the people and kindreds and tongues, and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.”Now, how could the world witness these two bodies lying in the street in Jerusalem? Two thousand years ago when this was written no one could have foreseen how this is possible. Now, with television it is very easy to understand how this will take place. The technology is here today and Jesus is coming soon!
The third call of warning that Jesus is coming soon is the concrete promises of the Lord. Revelation 22:7 says, “Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.” Revelation 22:12 says, “And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.” Revelation 22:20 says, “He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.”Three times in the last chapter of the Bible is the promise that He is coming quickly. When the Bible says something once it is true. When God says something three times in one chapter, you had better believe that He is emphasizing it!There are three clear calls of warning in this column today. Are you ready? First of all, ask the Lord Jesus Christ to come into your life today and be your Savior. He came the first time to die for your sins. Has there been a definite decision to let Him come in? Not are you baptized, or a church member, or a pretty good person, but have you ever been born again through the Spirit of God? Jesus said that you must be born again. Receive Him now before it is too late because hell is awful and eternity is a long time. Secondly, if you have Jesus as your Savior then you better be living for Him now. Time is running out. Two thousand years ago He said that He was coming quickly. How much longer can it be? You have three calls of warning — please act accordingly.
