Why You Should Not Be Preparing for the End of the World

There is a ton of things going on around the world, and information coming from all over the place. Many are preparing for a World War III, some are preparing for an economic collapse, some for the apocalypse and the rest in lala land. Whatever position you find yourself, know that God is still in control. As believers we already have the heads up on how a new earth will take place, in Revelation 21. Moreover, often times you only hear teachings about the six seals, but there is a seventh seal that will also be unleashed on earth as well, Revelation 8. A lot has happened, A lot is going to happen and a lot more that has to happen before we reach the “End.” Are we living in the last days? Absolutely! This is no time to let your guards down and think you have “time” to get right with God, because guess what scripture tells us in Matthew 24:3-44 “Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” And the Messiah answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake.  And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another.  Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.  But he who endures to the end shall be saved.  And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come. 

The Great Tribulation 

“Therefore when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” (whoever reads, let him understand), “then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house. And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes. But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days!  And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath. For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened. 

“Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe it. For false  Messiah’s and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. See, I have told you beforehand. “Therefore if they say to you, ‘Look, He is in the desert!’ do not go out; or ‘Look, He is in the inner rooms!’ do not believe it. For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered together. 

The Coming of the Son of Man 

Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.“Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So you also, when you see all these things, know that  it is near—at the doors! Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away. 

No One Knows the Day or Hour 

“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only. But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming. But know this, that if the master of the house had known what  hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. 

There are many key sentences here to take to heart, First thing to understand is to never entertain anyone giving you an actual day, month, year or time of the “end of the world” because no one knows not even the Angels in heaven. Secondly, you must stay alert, on guard and spiritually ready. I understand you live in the world and you have to work, run a business, go to school but never neglect your spiritual life or make things in this world more important than seeking the Kingdom of God. Thirdly, when you hear, see or read things always make sure it actually lines up with scripture and not someone’s wild imagination, misunderstanding or even deception. Fourth, understand when the time comes, there will be nowhere to hide. I hear many people planning on moving, going to other countries but guess what? The ending will affect the entire world not just parts of it. Your best option to make sure you are truly converted (born again), repented, walking in the ways of God, and trusting only in him for protection, Revelation 6:15-17, Isaiah 2:19. Lastly, know that God does not want anyone to perish but he does have standards, and commandments that he wants us to love and obey. If you truly have the heart for God what he requires of you won’t be an issue. Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. 

So to encourage you in this walk in life my words to you is to stay focus on the Most High, keep your eyes off the things of this world. Preparing for the end of the world is pointless, if its ending, we all going, there’s nothing to prepare for. However, while you still here and the real end time have not come yet, you will go through some things, you will witness some pain and suffering in your lifetime, that’s why it’s important to have a strong spiritual foundation and a real relationship with God, that is what is going to keep you from giving up and losing faith. May you seek God always. May you Draw Closer to God.
