Theme: UNDERSTANDING THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES
Text: “And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.” – Luke 21:25, 26.
Comment: Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ gave further signs of this age – the end of the world – in the text for today. The planetary bodies: “sun”, “moon” and “stars” were symbolically used to represent politics, religion and commerce, which are the principal elements used by the devil to govern this world. (2 Corinthians 4:4) While “the sea and waves roaring” implies the constant disagreement that will exist between the rulers and the ruled. There is self-centeredness and complacency especially among the rulers – without conscience. Today, men all over the world are living in apprehension and perplexity. Someone you see this moment can be no more the next minute. People are dying from ailments such as heart failure, cancer, kidney failure and other diseases that are beyond cure. All these underscore the inescapable fact that the world is gradually coming to an end. Christ warned: “And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.” – Luke 21:28.
