Thousand of years, people dreaming about the moment when things would change. But they will not change by human hand. God has revealed in His book that there is a specific year, a specific month, a very precise day and hour, when HE will break His silence, when He will fulfill all His purposes concerning men and the world. HIS PLAN IS RIGHT ON SCHEDULE.
The day is coming when the Lord Jesus Christ will return and establish His earthly kingdom. The day is coming, and is right on schedule, when Jesus will rule righteously, with a rod of iron and the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea (Isaiah 11:9)
A Biblical mystery refers to truths God has hidden and will reveal in His time. This mystery involves the salvation of those who trust in Jesus Christ alone, it involves our place in Christ’s glorious kingdom. It involves the judgment of all sinners and demons.
This chapter reminds us once again of our responsibility to warn the world of that day. Remember, God’s plan is on schedule. He will not wait much longer.
