-Watch the Signs!-
I’ve seen some odd signs in my day. Some are just plain funny. I
particularly love the “SLOW” signs. You know, the ones that tell
you ‘Slow children at play’, ‘Slow Church Zone’ (all the slow
churches are on that road!) & ‘Slow Traffic.’ Here are a few
more odd/funny signs:
While some signs are funny, some are very important. It’s
imperative that you are aware when a bridge or road is washed
out in a flood. You want to know that a road is a ‘Dead End’ if
you’re expecting to go through to another
destination.
I know a young lady who was moving to Florida. When asked
about the route she would take she said, ‘Don’t confuse me with
road numbers. Just tell me what it looks like.’ While funny, that
won’t cut it if you actually expect to get to a destination several
states away.
Jesus spoke of certain ‘signs’ that would take place pointing to
His return.
Later as He was sitting on Mount Olives, His disciples
approached and asked Him, "Tell us, when are these things going
to happen? What will be the sign of Your coming, that the time's
up?" Matthew 24:3 The Message
There’s no way I can spell out a great deal about eschatology,
or end time prophecy in these short lines. For that matter, great
minds have argued about much of it for centuries. I simply
encourage you to be ready. Jesus gave some very pointed signs
that would occur as the time draws near to end. Take a moment
& read how He responded to the disciples question:
Signs of End Times
I’m not standing on a street corner with a placard that says,
“The End is Near!” My stance on end times has always been the
same: we don’t know WHEN our time in this life is through, it’s
just important that we are ready to meet Jesus when our time is
through! So many ‘signs’ are taking place & escalating at an
alarming rates, that we would do well to Watch the Signs! I’m
not an alarmist & telling you ‘the sky is falling.’ The signs I’m
talking about are not funny either.
The next time you turn on the news & hear of a major
earthquake in Oklahoma, or an epidemic of a disease long
thought dead, or major economic crash, remember to Watch the
Signs, and not just the funny ones. While it might seem harsh or
heady, like I said, just be ready.
