In The Days of These Kings. Part [10] 04/02/2026 (Morning thought)

Luke 21:26 Men's hearts failing them for fear and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. 27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

Luke 21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your  redemption draws nigh. 35 For as a snare it will come on all them who dwell on the face of the whole earth…. Matthew 24: 42 Watch therefore: for you know not what hour your Lord doth come. 43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.

[Great Controversy pp 636>637] It is at midnight that God manifests his power for the deliverance of his people. The sun appears, shining in its strength. Signs and wonders follow in quick succession. The wicked look with terror and amazement upon the scene, while the righteous behold with solemn joy the tokens of their deliverance. Everything in nature seems turned out of its course. The streams cease to flow. Dark, heavy clouds come up, and clash against each other.

[Great Controversy pp 636>637] In the midst of the angry heavens is one clear space of indescribable glory, whence comes the voice of God like the sound of many waters, saying, “It is done.” That voice shakes the heavens and the earth. There is a mighty earthquake, “such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake and so great.” [Revelation 16:17, 18.] The glory from the throne of God seems flashing through.

 Matthew 24:44 Therefore be you also ready: for in such an hour as you think not the Son of man cometh.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!

In The Days of These Kings. Part [9] 04/02/2026 (Evening thought)

Luke 2:11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. 13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying:

Luke 2:14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men….. Matthew 2:1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, 2 Saying, where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. 3 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

Mark 13: 35 Watch you therefore: for you know not when the master of the house comes, at evening, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning. 36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. 37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch…. 1st Thessalonians 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child and they shall not escape.

1st Thessalonians 5:4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. 5 You are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. 6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober…. You’re probably getting the sense that the issue of suddenness, will play a role in the collapsing of the last kingdom upon the earth. But the Bible states we must study line upon line and precept upon precept so, let’s read again.

Luke 21:25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
