new year

WHAT will the new year bring us? I predict it will be more of the same. There were many people who said that the world would end in December 2012, but that did not occur.
In fact, last year did not have a lot of major events. True we had a major drought in America and a Tsunami in Japan.
However, these events are common. God says:
Matthew 24:1-14
36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark,

39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
People were eating and drinking and having a good time, but what was coming they could not even imagine. The flood seemed like a joke to them until it came and swept them all away. Only Noah and his family were ready, and most people were not aware.
I tell you. The same will happen when Christ comes. Let us see what the book of Luke says:
Luke 17:26-30
26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.

27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.

28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;

29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
I cannot tell you what year Christ is coming. However, I can tell you it is close because our world is similar to the days of Lot, and similar to the days of Noah.
God destroyed the earth in both instances. He used water in the time of Noah, and fire in the time of Lot. This time he will have stars raining down from heaven and people will hide in caves.
Rev 6:12-17
12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;

13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.

14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;

16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:

17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
Fear not you all for Jesus is coming. It might not be this year. However, His coming is near.
