Romans 13:12
12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.
Tomorrow is the Total Eclipse. The day when in many places across our State will go completely dark. This is a huge event that will amaze some of the people and scare others. Some people say that animals will go crazy during a total eclipse. I could not find that to be entirely true. According to researchers they will act a little strange. They will often go silent and act very nervous do to the total darkness in the middle of the day.
The real questions is will you go crazy. Let's hope not. No, in all seriouness you will feel a little strange as well if you are outside and see the darkness, but you will be ok.
Shortly before returning to Heaven Jesus told His disciples that someday He would come back to establish His Kingdom. But first, certain things had to happen, and we are see many of those things happening.
He said that before He returns that we must preach throughout the world.
Mark 13:10
10 And the gospel must first be preached to all the nations.
We now have every avenue to preach to the world. We have Radio, TV, Internet, Cell Phones, and many other electronic devices to hear and read the Bible.
One of the other signs of the last days is Satan's final attempt to hale God's work through a massive onslaught of evil. Our world has seen Satan many times try to stop what God plans to deliver.
Matthew 24:6-7
6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.
We have seen so much in the line of wars in the past few years. We as Americans leaving in the land of the free are slowly seeing our freedoms taken away. Something's we don't even notice.

I have heard all of my life that Jesus is coming back. I have never seen more things happening and changing according to what the Bible says than now. Things are changing so quickly and bigger things are happening.
I was reading the other day about how that people that claim to be christians are dropping very rapidly.

What does the Bible say about the end of the world? First it will be sudden and unexpected and most people will be unprepared.
Just as in Noah's flood, a major event will suddenly overtake the earth and then it will be too late to turn to God.
2 Peter 3:10
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.
He added, "The good news is, we need not need fear that day if we know Christ. Is your faith and hope in Him, and are you seeking to live for Him every day?
2 Peter 3:11-12
11 Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, 12 looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat?
