Jesus replies, "I am. And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven."
Mark 14:62
(This verse is where Jesus definitively answers the Jewish High Priest's question about his identity. The question being, "Are you the Messiah?”)
The Chorus of “Days of Elijah,” the final song of last Sunday’s service, isn’t a fairy tale; according to scripture, it’s true. Christ is returning! I’m not going to delve into pre-tribulation, mid-tribulation, post-tribulation, or any other eschatological discussion. These discussions often lead to division within the body of Christ, and I’ve witnessed and been a part of enough heated debates. I’m not a theologian, and I acknowledge that there’s much I don’t comprehend. However, one thing that seems undeniably clear is that Jesus himself spoke of His return and that we will witness Him in the clouds. I believe this is a certainty because I believe the Bible, even when it’s challenging to understand.
You see, we don’t need to know the intricate details of His coming; instead, He wants us to be certain that He is returning. The scriptures speak of His Coming many times. Are you eagerly anticipating His coming? Are you actively engaged in Kingdom Work while you wait? Are you keeping yourself close to the Savior as you prepare for His Return? Are you diligently reading the scriptures, praying, worshipping, and sharing the gospel with urgency? Are you confessing your sins to the ONE Who forgives? It’s not about the how, when, and where of Jesus’s coming; it’s the glorious promise that HE IS COMING AGAIN! Lift up your eyes, raise your voice, and fill your heart with this wonderful news for us "Believers". Are you ready for His Return?
Days of Elijah Chorus
"Behold He comes, riding on the clouds, Shining like the sun at the trumpet call!"
"Lift your voice, it's the year of jubilee, And out of Zion's hill salvation comes!"
