I've been hearing it for fifty+ years...the end time is near, Jesus is coming. Like most, including the those living in Jesus time, our ears have heard it but our response is less than anticipatory. Prophecy of His return has become 'old news' and our ears have grown dull.
II Peter 3:4 "...Where is the promise of his coming: for since the fathers
fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation."
Take a look around you today, read Luke 21, and consider the world wide confusion and chaos....the clock is tick, tick, ticking..."And at midnight there was a cry made, 'Behold the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.' " (Matt 25:6)
IT'S ALMOST MIDNIGHT
It's almost midnight,
It's dark and it's almost time-
It's almost midnight,
Is there oil in you lamp?
Is it burning bright?
It's almost midnight,
Are you waiting for His call?
The time is growing short
The day is almost gone
It's almost midnight!
Wisdom's voice cries at the gate
"The Bridegroom cometh..."
Is your lamp trimmed?
Is it burning bright?
Are you listening for the call
"The Bridegroom cometh,
Go out to meet Him!"
It's almost midnight,
Is there oil in your lamp?
Is it burning bright?
Oh Lord, shake us - wake us - give us a renewed passion to light the world with your truth. Annoint us with a new desire to reach the lost before the clock strikes midnight. Refresh us with the oil of your Spirit that our lamps might be full, and teach us how to trim the old and useless junk from our lives that we might burn brightly for you.
