Our Verse: Rev 1:7 “Behold He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him.
Acts 10:42 He (Jesus) is ordained of God to be the Judge of the living and the dead.

Last time, we learned that Jesus is the Messiah and came to die and redeem men to God. He came as Savior- One who saves. That was part one of His mission. Jesus' contemporaries wanted a king, instead, Jesus died as Savior of all people.

Part 2 of Jesus mission as Messiah is now underway and moving toward completion. He will come as King, more than that- as King of Kings. The Ruler and Judge of mankind. He will set all things right worldwide.

God, in His wisdom and love, has made a preparation time before Jesus' return. It is a time of choosing- God or the kingdoms of man. This time period began as Jesus “was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight” Acts 1:9 This time period will end with the visible return of Jesus to Earth. An angel told His followers, ”Someday He will return from heaven in the same way you saw Him go.” Acts 1:11

So what should we do during this waiting time? It is a time for everyone to choose their allegiance, the Messiah or themselves.

Many wish God would just be done with it and come back. But... What if He returned before you chose Him? You would be left out!, and the same would be true for millions of others across the planet. He is patiently waiting, He is patiently pleading with all people. God is not willing that any should die, but that all should come to the knowledge of the truth. In Romans 10, it's called Confess and Believe.
If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved.
God has allowed 2000 years and counting with His offer of forgiveness and eternal life through Jesus. I came, You can too. Jesus the Messiah is coming back! Let's be ready!
