\"\"<\/strong>S<\/span>it Thou at My right hand until I make Thine enemies Thy footstool\u201d<\/strong> (Psalm 110:1). God the Father spoke these words to His beloved Son as He entered heaven with the marks of the world\u2019s hatred on His blessed person.
\nNearly 2,000 years have come and gone since then, and time, with lightning speed, rushes us toward that awful moment when the Son will rise up in unopposed power to fulfill the Father\u2019s decree. Christ will<\/em> come and will make His enemies His footstool! Are your sins washed away in His blood? If so, you are His friend<\/em>. If not, you are His enemy<\/em>. When He comes in power and great glory, it will be to send His enemies into everlasting punishment (Matthew 25:31-46; Revelation 19:11-21). Oh, the panic and terror of those still in their sins at that coming!
\nThe coming of the Man whom the world once crucified, whose love is still treated with disdain and disrespect and whose blood is even treated with self-righteous indifference, will bring all men to their knees. Men who never prayed before will then, in their soul\u2019s deep terror, cry to the rocks and to the mountains, \u201cFall on us, and hide us from the face of Him that [sits] on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: for the great day of His wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?\u201d<\/strong> (Revelation 6:16-17). Hopeless, useless prayer! The Lamb\u2019s arm of judgment then will reach all who would not take salvation from His hand of love. Self-gratification, extravagance and the thoughtless pursuits of wealth and entertainment will end forever. An eternity of hopelessness, remorse, weeping and wailing will be the replacement for these poor victims of the devil.
\nThen the world\u2019s pleasures and business, which all too often shut out God and leave men no time to think of their soul\u2019s deep need, will be suspended forever. The world\u2019s boasted progress will be halted forever, and man in his foolish occupation of proud indifference to the claims of God will be brought face to face with Him whom God has established as Judge of all.
\nChrist is coming, and one of two things will happen to you when He comes: You will be either caught up to be forever with Him or left behind for judgment. As you are reading this, right now before this terrible day of judgment, if Christ were to come this moment, would you rise to meet Him (1 Thessalonians 4:15-17)? Are you ready? Have your sins been washed away?
\n

Will You Be one of Them?<\/div><\/div>\nJesus said, \u201cAs it was in the days of [Noah], so shall it be also in the days of the Son of Man.\u201d<\/strong> How was it in the days of Noah? A world of sinners, ignoring God\u2019s warnings and unprepared for His judgment, was in a moment swept away to eternal destruction by the terrible waters of God\u2019s wrath. It will be comparable when Christ comes. Multitudes still in their sins will be unprepared and will be damned for all eternity. Will you be one of them?<\/em>
\nThe Bible warns us that men and women will be crying out for mercy, but no mercy will be found. Will you be one of them?<\/em>
\nThe masses who have heard the gospel of God\u2019s love and grace and turned carelessly away will realize then that the day of grace is over, and their lost eternity is set forever. Will you be one of them?<\/em>
\n
Will You Be Ready?<\/div><\/div>\nWhy are you waiting to make the decision to accept Christ\u2019s love and mercy that He offers to you right now? He refuses no one who comes to Him, admitting the need to be cleansed from his sins. \u201cHim that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out.\u201d<\/strong> If you will believe that Christ bore the punishment and died on the cross for your sins, He promises an eternity in heaven with Himself. \u201cHe that believeth on Me hath everlasting life\u201d<\/strong> (John 6:47).
\nChrist\u2019s offer of salvation is available today; it may not be available tomorrow. Today He lovingly pleads with you to \u201ccome unto Me\u2009\u2026\u2009and I will give you rest\u201d<\/strong> (Matthew 11:28). If you will accept His offer right now, when He comes you will be ready!<\/em>
\n\u201cThe blood of Jesus Christ His Son [cleanses] us from all sin\u201d<\/strong> (1 John 1:7).
\n\u201cIt is the blood that [makes]<\/strong>
\n an atonement for the soul\u201d<\/strong>
