The cloud approaches in the night. A cloud which appears as the night sky to those who witness its approach. Who notices? Who pays attention?
With blind eyes they look. Though their ears hear they do not recognize the noise. The air begins to move; taken toward the coming storm. And alarm begins to fill the minds of all men.
Sparkling sparks mimic the stars. No technology perceives the impending doom. Death approaches silent and unstoppable.
Rebellion against the Holy will of God has blinded their eyes. They refuse to listen to the Holy words which can save them. Hands filled to over flowing with pleasure and every wicked thing, the people live in alarm. As they refused to speak of Holy things, so now they refuse to speak of what is coming. And the mystery of approaching doom escapes their understanding. “It will not be given to them” is the statement from Heaven. Understanding and preparation is removed from the face of the earth.
Those who see perceive through eyes born of God. Those who hear have yearned to hear the Word of God. They will endure in peace, for they were told long ago of this storm’s approach. Today is the day for preparation. Prepare to receive the salvation of your souls.
Let us give praise to the Glorious Judge of all creation. Not one of His Holy Judgments will lend itself to the blame of wicked men. His enemies will be utterly swept away with a simple nod of His Glorious head. And the will of God, that Holy and Perfect will, carries His people into that Blessed Rest. Praise to the Lord Jesus for His faithfulness to the Father.
By His Grace.
