Pastor Louis Giglio says ‘soon’ “is a relative term used in relation to the external nature of the ALMIGHTY, who exists outside time and space, yet concurrently operates within the confines of finite human history.” So to God it means “100-1,000 years, the latter of which, in God’s time, is the equivalent of one human day.”
“This has been the plan all along,” … “Yes, Jesus would come at Christmas and do what only he could do, but that He would come again to planet earth. And I want you to know that Jesus is coming soon.”
1. ‘Live Alert, but Not Alarmed’
“I would prefer you would wake up tomorrow and say Jesus is coming soon and he could come imminently,” he shared. “I want to live alert, but I don’t want to be frantic.
2. ‘Deception is the Enemy’s Game’
“The enemy’s plan for you and for me, in light of the fact that Jesus is coming soon, is that you would get deceived”
“Keep your eyes on the revealed Jesus, not on some hidden prophecy,” … “In other words, just keep leaning into Jesus every day versus digging around and looking for and listening to the next prophecy that someone’s going to say. Just keep your eyes on Jesus because if He’s coming soon, then you’ll have your eyes locked in Him when he arrives.”
3. ‘Live Ready”
“What the enemy has us stuck in is fixating on what day, when Jesus is saying be ready today”
4. ‘The Hingepoint of the coming of Jesus is the Fulfillment of the Great Commission’
“the Great Commission, just to be clear, is still, go ye therefore into all the world and preach the Gospel to all people,” … “This is still the mission of the people of God.
5. ‘Abomination that Causes Desolation’
“The abomination is coming against the temple, and precisely coming against the altar, and specifically coming against the Blood of the Lamb”
“It is idolatry that is so brazen that it would stand right in the midst of the story of Jesus and say ‘forget about the Blood of the Lamb, I am the one that is to be worshiped and exalted’ and the result of this act brings desolation,”
“If you ask the average psychologist to describe the psyche of the human condition, they would say to you ‘futile, meaningless and empty.'” “Why? Because man is already trying to plant God and already it’s fall in the Church, and hearts are growing cold.”
“It’s brazen in the world” … “And people are standing in the holy place saying forget about the blood. We are good to save ourselves.”
6. ‘Make the Move’
“Some of us have spent the entire pandemic looking at houses, but we have not spent five minutes thinking about the one that is being prepared for us in Heaven”
7. ‘Everyone Won’t Make It’
“Two men are in a field, and one is taken, and one is left”
“The tell-tale sign of the Son of Man coming is that most people’s hearts are going to grow cold,” … “Start now, knowing Jesus is coming soon by making the move … the move from earth to Heaven.”
“Keep your lamps burning”
