The saved eagerly await the Day of the Lord, His return to Earth, to bring the fulfillment of His promises to those who trust in His Word. That Day will be glorious for those who live by faith in Him. However, it will be torment for those who prefer to live in the flesh, enjoying the false joy provided by sin. These poor lives will howl like animals in distress, knowing that the hour of final reckoning has come.

No one can live as they wish and expect to be welcomed into the Kingdom of Heaven. According to the Word of the Lord, the reckoning is near, in which each one will go to the Lord to give an account of their days on Earth (2 Corinthians 5:10). It will be heard from the rooftops what everyone has done, even the most secret plans. God is Omniscient!

The screams will be of no use! Taken by despair, for having refused faith in God and closed themselves off so that He would no longer trouble them, many will cry out for the forgiveness they once scorned. These people loved the lie and the works of Satan, whom they chose. Jesus will return to judge the living and the dead; after all, His Word does not fail. But beware: those who do not surrender to the Savior today will live in the lake of fire eternally!

The Day of the Lord is being shortened because of His love for those who were already ready for eternal life, but have strayed because of the many works of the kingdom of darkness (Matthew 24:22). Those who tried to change God's rules and, with mockery, said that He did not care about practices contrary to nature will be confronted with the truth of their filthy acts, which corrupted them. Return to the Heavenly Father!

The devastations in nature and the moral decay of the chosen ones are near, in order to show that there is justice in the world to judge those who have allowed themselves to be corrupted by easy gain. Why do people not recognize that the Creator's Word will judge them? God will fulfill His warnings, so dedicate yourself to studying the Bible, return to your church, and see yourself through the Creator's perfect gaze. There is still time to reconcile with Him!

The afflictions will be varied, and humanity never imagined it would face them. Jesus will come at the height of Truth, when not one stone will be left upon another. It is not man's right to choose how he will live and assume that he will not be judged; nor can the Father exempt anyone from eternal punishment if that person has rejected the Lord's efforts to convince him of the Day of Judgment. Watch and pray!

Jesus assured us that difficulties will be found even where they shouldn't be: in the pulpit of churches. Then, the end will come: “Therefore when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” (whoever reads, let him understand) (Matthew 24:15). There is little time left, make peace with the Most High to enjoy abundant life.

In Christ, with love,
