It Could Happen Tomorrow

Recently, some studies have been published showing what it would be like for some large cities to experience a disaster like a hurricane, tornado or earthquake. None of these cities had actually experienced the disaster; it was just a study of possibilities. Hopefully it would help people to be better prepared if a disaster should strike their area.
There is an event that really COULD HAPPEN TOMORROW, even today, even before you finish reading this message. The Lord Jesus Christ is coming back to take all who have believed in Him back to heaven with Him. We do not know when, but we are assured it will happen. John 14:2-32In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. (John 14:2‑3) says, “In My Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.”
Are you ready? Have you accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior, believing that He died on the cross of Calvary for your sins? The penalty for your sins was laid on Him at the cross; there is nothing you can do to save yourself. Only believe that He suffered and died for you.
“The Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God....Then we which are alive and remain... shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air...and so shall we ever be with the Lord” (1 Thess. 4:16-1716For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. (1 Thessalonians 4:16‑17)).
Many people have tried to figure out WHEN the Lord is coming back. Only God knows. He is waiting for the last one who will be saved, and then He will tell the Lord Jesus that it is time to come. “Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of Man cometh” (Matthew 25:1313Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh. (Matthew 25:13)).
Do not wait any longer! “Today if ye will hear His voice, harden not your hearts” (Heb. 3:1515While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. (Hebrews 3:15)). “Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation” (2 Cor. 6:22(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succored thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.) (2 Corinthians 6:2)). Are you prepared? Are you ready if the Lord Jesus comes tomorrow? Today?
