Introduction
Memory Text: “Now all these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come. Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall” (1 Corinthians 10:11, 12, NKJV).
Accounts in the Bible says a lot about events such as the Second
Coming, the investigative judgment, the final crisis, and more. And, through it
all, we find Christ as the center, for He must be the foundation as well as the
end goal of all prophetic endeavors.
Why are some people going to be caught off-guard by Christ’s second or
third coming?
Some people will be caught off-guard by Christ’s second
coming or third coming, not because they were not informed, but because they
refused to believe. Prior to the end, the gospel is carried to every nation on
earth (Matt. 24:14).
What lessons can be drawn from the story of the flood?
The passing of periods of time does not nullify the
prophecies. As with the Second Coming, the Flood did not come as a surprise to
the world because of a lack of information, it came as a surprise because they didn’t
believe. It is in the Flood Story’s context that Peter writes “that scoffers
will come in the last days, walking in their own lusts, and saying, ‘Where is
the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things
continue as they were from the beginning of creation’ ” (2 Pet. 3:3, 4, NKJV).
What lesson can we learn from Noah’s evangelism for ourselves?
Noah preached for 120 years, and only his family were saved
in the ark, the flood certainly came. We have not gotten to the point where
there are no results, although we are told probation will close, and the door
of mercy will be shut. We are to carry on the work of mercy, of warning the
world of the coming judgment, knowing that the prophecy will surely be
fulfilled, Christ is coming.
Why are the warnings from the accounts of Sodom and Gomorrah important for
last-day people of this planet?
Like Sodom and Gomorrah, the wicked will also be destroyed
by fire, as described so clearly in Revelation 20. Secondly, we should note
that this account is not primarily addressed to the outside world but to God’s
own people. Sin is remarkably deceptive and can blind us to the state of our
own hearts. We too, can fall into the same trap, hence, these accounts are
addressed to us.
What can we learn from God’s meeting with Abraham in Genesis 18:17‒32?
“Surely the Lord GOD does nothing, unless He reveals His
secret to His servants the prophets” (Amos 3:7, NKJV). Not only did Abraham
examine the case of Sodom, but he is also examining the character of God.
Likewise, before the end comes, God opens the books of heaven (Rev. 20:4-15) and
allows us to investigate the evidence before He finally brings fire down on the
earth.
Who needs the book of records to know who is saved or lost?
God does not need the book of records of every person to
know who will be saved or lost. These records are made for our sakes, for the
sake of the angels, for the sake of the on looking universe. These are the ones
who needs the book of records.
Who is the reason why we can get through judgment?
We can get through judgment only through Christ’s perfect
righteousness.
In Conclusion,
God’s desire is for everyone to be saved. If anyone is not saved it is because he or she consciously decided not to believe in Jesus Christ. May we be part of those who will “believe in [Christ]” (John 3:16) and be saved, in Jesus’ name.
