Nehemiah 6:3 And I sent messengers unto them, saying, I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down: why should the work cease, whilst I leave it, and come down to you?
Nehemiah 6:4 Yet they sent unto me four times after this sort; and I answered them after the same manner. 5 Then sent Sanballat his servant unto me in like manner the fifth time with an open letter in his hand; 6 Wherein was written, It is reported among the heathen, and Gashmu saith it, that thou and the Jews think to rebel: for which cause you build the wall, that thou mayest be their king, according to these words.
The reason why God is giving us so many examples is that in our day currently, The Christian could be in grave danger of losing focus on the things that really matter. With all the protests and killings and arson, and with all of the wars and rumors of wars, if folks are careful we may forget that there are much more important issues to grab our attention.
Some of these are listed below so that we may focus on Christ, and the work that He is finishing up in the heavenly sanctuary, and the corresponding work of preparation to stand in the final conflict that would take the world by storm, and unawares. [1] One of the real issues that ought to be on the front burner of our minds is that “This gospel of the kingdom must be preached in all the world and then shall the end come.” And we are almost there folks!
Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
May God His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
