What a night that was, never to be forgotten, when these solemn words took firm hold of my soul, "In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye." 1 Corinthians 15:5252In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. (1 Corinthians 15:52).
My thoughts were engaged, not with the preacher, but with the solemn truth he spoke, "The Lord Jesus Christ is coming back, and He will come in the twinkling of an eye! "I can thank God now, for disturbing the complacency in which I rested.
The Holy Spirit applied the Word of God in power to my soul, and I began to realize the awfulness of my unconverted, unprepared condition. In my distress I cried to Him, and before long I was able to rejoice in Christ as my Savior and Deliverer from "the wrath to come."
How is it with you? Are you ready for His coming? Perhaps you have Christian friends as I had. What a terrible thing if the Lord were to come this day and take them to glory, but leave you behind! Remember, it will be "in the twinkling of an eye."
These words are true! He is coming sooner than you think. "And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed." Romans 13:1111And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. (Romans 13:11). And, "The day is at hand." Romans 13:1212The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. (Romans 13:12).
There will be no time to prepare then. If you are not ready, you will be left behind to undergo the awful judgments that shall fall upon the earth, when He shall return with His saints.
Do not turn a deaf ear. The Lord is at hand! He will come "in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye."
