The day of Christ's coming will be the day for the world court. Holy Scripture says:
Jude 1:14-15 - In the seventh generation from Adam, Enoch, prophesied about them, saying: "Behold, the Lord comes with countless thousands of his saints, to judge all people and each convicted of all their ungodly deeds which ungodly committed, and because of all the harsh words ungodly sinners who you talked to him. "
Matthew 25.32 - All nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate them one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
But before that day comes, God draws attention to the people what is to come. Always give people a warning about the coming trials. Some believed the warnings and obeyed God's word. They then escaped to the courts, which fell to a disobedient and unbelieving people.
Before God destroyed the world flood, he commanded that Noah entered the ark. Noah obeyed and was saved.
Genesis 7.1 - And the LORD said to Noah: "Come with your whole household into the ark. I have seen that you were before me in this generation only just.
Before the destruction of Sodom, the angels brought the message of Lot, Lot obeyed and was saved.
Genesis 19.14 - Lot went and talk to her-in-law, who had taken his daughter: "Arise and come away from here, for the LORD will destroy this city!" But his sons-in-law thought he was joking.
So now we have warned before Christ's second coming and destruction. What goes into the world. All who obey the warning call, will be saved.
Isaiah 25.9 - In one day they say: "Behold, this is our God, in him we had hoped, and he saved us. This is the Lord, in him we hope, be glad and rejoice in his salvation! "
Because we do not know exactly when they arrive, we are commanded to awake.
Luke 12.37 - "Blessed are the servants of the Lord when he comes find watching. Verily I say unto you, gird up the apron, sits at the table, and will proceed to serve them.
Those who look out the coming of the Lord will not have to wait in the doldrums. The expectation of Christ's coming to make people be afraid of God's changing by the courts on the law of God. It is necessary to awaken people to repent for their sins in violation of God's commandments. Just as Noah gave a warning from God to the world before the flood, and all who understand the Word of God to warn people of that time.
Matthew 24,37-39 - but as the days of Noah, so shall also the coming of the Son of man. As in the days before the flood eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered the ark, and did not notice anything until the flood came and swept away all, so it will be the coming of the Son of man.
The people in Noah's time, abusing God's gifts. Their eating and drinking only led to gluttony and drunkenness. Lost in God, and gave himself only wickedness and abominable deeds. The people of this time were destroyed because of their wickedness.
Genesis 6.5 - The LORD saw how on earth breed of human evil and that all thoughts that spin in the hearts, the day after a bad day.
Today people do the same. Gluttony, intemperance, untamed passion and evil practices meet the country godlessness. In Noah's day the world was destroyed by water. God's Word teaches that we are now to be destroyed by fire. People from the flood God made fun of warning. Noah called a fanatic and alarmist. Significant learning and people have claimed that such a cataclysm, as predicted never occurred, and never occur again.
Today, the word of God ensures very little. People laugh at his warning. Crowds of people say: "Everything is from the beginning of the world. We do not have to worry about. " It was at this time but coming doom. While people with derision and contempt, asking: "Where is the promise of His coming?" Signs are fulfilled.
1 Thessalonians 5.3 - When people will say: "Peace! Safety "is suddenly surprised by confusion, as when they come upon a pregnant pain, and will not leak.
But Christ tells us awake:
Revelation 3.3 - Remember what you heard and accepted, hold onto it and repent. If you wake up, I come as a thief! Neither never know what hour I will come to you.
Today, people are constantly busy eating and drinking, planting and building, and getting married. Traders are still buying and selling. People fight for top position. Fun filled theater lovers, horse racing and casinos. Excitement prevails everywhere, but the examination day is fast approaching and will soon grace the door closed forever. We determined the Savior's words of caution:
Luke 21,34-36 - Beware that your hearts were not laden with feasting and drunkenness, and minding of this life. That day should surprise you then suddenly like a trap, caught in it all who live in the country. Therefore watch and pray always that you were worthy to escape all that comes, and to stand before the Son of man. "
