Tonight I caught myself doing something that I did not realize I was doing, but as I reflected on it I came to the understanding that I had actually been doing it for some time. I was looking up into the night sky, and I know that this act is no extraordinary thing in and of itself. However, I came to realize that I actually study the sky day or night and it seems to be more out of a sub conscious habit than anything else. As far as I can tell it is a recent phenomenon for me which I can only track back approximately three years.
I have no idea what I am looking for, or if I am looking for anything at all. I only know that I have this overwhelming sense that if I fail to look to the sky, then I am going to miss something very important. Perhaps it is nothing more than my Christian upbringing that guides my gaze skyward, possibly looking for signs or even the second coming of our Lord. We have all read in the Bible where the disciples asked Jesus what would be the signs of his coming.
Jesus replied to them that, “You shall hear of wars and rumors of wars.” Nations shall rise against Nations, and there shall be pestilences and earthquakes in diverse places. All these are to be the beginning of sorrows.” Now it would be easy to point out that these things have been present throughout the history of mankind. However, we see a crescendo building and it seems as though there will be a point where the lid must blow off of the boiling pot. It is my belief that I am not the only one that is sensing the coming of this time.
I started becoming aware of it a few years back, nevertheless, I am not able to say categorically it is going to happen now, or that it will be any one event that kicks it off. It is more of a feeling, or intuition if you wish to call it that. The only thing that causes me to doubt my senses is that many have come before and said that the time of the end is now and that time came and went without incident. I do not claim to know when such things will happen, I only know that they will and they will happen soon, relatively speaking.
I believe that time is shorter than we suspect and we see the world’s governments stepping up their agendas at a faster pace and it is difficult to keep up with the current events that eventually will affect us all. I have a feeling that because these catastrophes and wars have happened slowly over time that we have become accustomed to them, but had they happened all at once we would have stood and took notice when suddenly 100,000,000 people were suddenly dead. No, indeed it seems that we are being desensitized by the events happening across the planet. We cannot help it, it is our nature and how we cope with disasters.
Nations are becoming much more aggressive and are more apt to go to war than ever before. We see that the planet is undergoing a climate change and as a matter of fact, it seems to be affecting the entire solar system. Whether climate change is do in part to mankind’s influence on his environment seems to be a bit irrelevant because the simple fact is that it has happened before and it will happen again. It is simply a cycle that we do not live long enough to see repeat itself.
So are these the reasons that I look up? Do I truly believe that the Lord of all creation will return to the earth like lightening just in time to save some of us from ourselves? The Bible seems to say so because it does state, “That if those days were not shortened, there would be no flesh saved.” To me this is speaking of physical flesh, life on this planet as we know it. Which brings me to another thought, what if all of those people that believe in ETs and think that they are here watching us to make sure we do not destroy ourselves? What if these ETs were indeed the Lord God and his Angels, would we not see them as extra terrestrials?
Personally, I find the times very troubling indeed and I cannot help but think that something is upon us and I do not believe that I am alone in this. Perhaps it is because we are looking for something because we have read the written word of the Bible or a teacher has taught us these things, but either way, something is coming and I believe that we will be fortunate to survive it.
God’s Blessings on you all, and may his strength keep you in the days to come.
