There is a need to always be prepared. The Rapture as recorded in Revelations could occur at any moment. In a twinkling of an eye, the Lord at a time no one knows will return to earth. Those who have accepted Jesus, will be jubilant and meet Him in the air. Those who have not accepted Jesus will enter into the worst of times.

Reading in Isaiah 25, the prisoners are those who do not accept Jesus and are not set free. They are those left behind on earth who have never accepted Jesus as Savior at the time Jesus returns. They will be in darkness and not understand what is going on. There will be seven years of the worst of times … hell on earth for those who rejected Jesus. This is called the tribulation.

Those who put a lot of study into the End Times say the Anti-Christ will attack and take over Jerusalem. There will be the final battle at Armageddon which is just south of Jerusalem. Jesus will simply speak a few words. No one knows what the words will be but maybe something like “Peace Be Still” and it will be over. Jesus will defeat the army of the Anti-Christ. ^[1]

The “feast” mentioned in Isaiah 25:6 is the new earth with Jesus reigning over all nations. Jesus is the Light that shatters the darkness. At that point, all things will be completely transformed. This is the thousand-year reign of Christ on earth with peace and prosperity.

According to the “The End Times” video, the planet will be renewed, there will be peace, and things of beauty will cover the earth. Jesus will reign as King. The new earth will be formed with the Light of perfect truth, the Light of life, and the joy of everlasting life.

Lord … this day we are working to build up the Kingdom. It’s rewarding work that is useful and important forever. We spur one another along toward your blessings. There are difficulties we face but we are lifted up because our eyes are on the ultimate prize. We step out in faith using Your Word as the stepping stones along the path. We are thankful that grace is the currency of Your Kingdom that rewards us with the treasures of peace and eternal bliss. We are focused on the victorious finish that Jesus provides. Amen.
