It is so easy for people to interpret the times and seasons when natural occurences are abound to happen but fail to interpret the times predicted to be the end of our world.
How is it that they do not discern the times we are in? We have a whole bunch of hypocrites who easily embrace falsehood and ignore the truth that keep staring at their faces.
Jesus when preaching to the crowds pointed out their hypocrisy in dealing with the truth
Then Jesus told the crowds, “When you see a cloud coming in from the west, you immediately say, ‘There’s going to be a storm,’ and that’s what happens. When you see a south wind blowing, you say, ‘It’s going to be hot,’ and so it is. You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky, yet you don’t know how to interpret the present time?” Luke 12:54-56
People could easily predict shower or rain when they see a cloud rise, they would expect heat when they see south wind.
People can easily predict the times of each seasons: winter, summer, autumn and spring but fail to notice the exact time we are in just as Jesus addressed the crowd.
The people saw the miracles of Jesus, heard his preaching and or read many predictions about Jesus Christ by the prohpets yet they found it hard believeing that He was the true Messiah and to believe his predictions about the end time , a time when He will appear again.
The same is happening in our days. The miracles performed by Jesus is still happening in our days, the gospel is preached daily and what Jesus said will be the signs of the end time are all happening yet people can't infer that “this is the time” when the Messiah will appear.
Scientist of our days are one people that keep dodging the truth and always trying hard to explain every occurrences with man's wisdom yet the truth still remains and all things indicates that end is near.
Hypocrisy won't allow this generation to come to their senses and realise that wars and rumors of wars, nation rising up in arms against nation, kingdom against kingdom, earthquakes and famines happening in various places are some of the signs indicating the end is near.
People will read weather reports and are abreast with information concerning weather changes but fail to read their Bibles to know the times we are in.
It is not surprising that many people will be taking unaware by the second coming of the Lord and the day of reckoning.
Christians must wake and not join the masses who ignore the truth that has been told for many years about the end times and the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The time we least expect will be the time the Messiah will appear. Let's be vigilant.
Knowledge and insight to the word , is the foundation on which a strong Christian faith is build , nice one friend.
Do people even know the meaning of discerning? It is a simple word but it has become strange to both believers and unbelievers. But the truth is clear we real need to be discerning. Thanks for the reminder

Ignorance, hypocrisy and laziness are some of the reasons why many have overlooked or neglected the most important issues about God's word. May the Lord be gracious
