Understanding the Times

Understanding the Times

Would you believe me if I told you the most desperate need of our day is for men who understand the times we are in?   In 1 Chronicles 12:32, the Bible describes the men from the tribe of Issachar as having wisdom and insight in regards to the times that they were living in.  It says, “From the tribe of Issachar, there were 200 leaders . . . All these men understood the signs of the times and knew the best course for Israel to take.” 

Just as Israel needed wise and discerning leaders to guide them through tough and trying times, today, we need men who understand the times we are in!  Men who hear from heaven and tell of God’s call to repentance.  Men who understand there is a judgment day coming for everyone!  Men who are clothed with the white raiment of a holy lifestyle to invoke their every effort!  Men whose hearts are ablaze and on fire and anointed with a Holy Ghost unction to proclaim that Jesus Christ was and is God’s answer to man’s every need and every man’s prayer!  1 Chronicles 12:32 really says, “While ordinary men saw the problem, God sent men who saw the cure.”  O, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!” (Romans 10:15). Praise the Lord! 

Beloved, understanding the times we are in means understanding the return of Jesus Christ for His church is imminent! It could happen at any moment!  Are you ready for that?  Have you embraced God’s cure for the needs of your heart?  His name is Jesus.  “And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). Believe in Him and escape the wrath to come!
