“Near is the great day of
the LORD, Near and coming very quickly; Listen, the day of the LORD! In it the
warrior cries out bitterly.”
(Zephaniah 1:14, NASB)
Today, although many people call themselves Christians, they have moved away from the fundamental truths of Christianity. For many, their prayers and pursuits are primarily focused on what worldly blessings they can receive from God. Most of us do not seriously think about the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and many do not even hear it being preached. Empty prayers, petitions, and worship are not what ultimately matters. The important question we must ask, as people who belong to God, is whether we are truly prepared for His coming.
Today’s meditation verse warns us about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, saying, “Near is the great day of the LORD, Near and coming very quickly.” Moreover, even those who possess physical strength, financial strength, and positions of authority in this world will not be able to stand on that day if they are not prepared for His coming. Yes, Scripture says, “Listen, the day of the LORD! In it the warrior cries out bitterly.”
When our Lord Jesus Christ spoke about His coming, He said:
“But immediately after the tribulation of those days THE SUN WILL BE DARKENED, AND THE MOON WILL NOT GIVE ITS LIGHT, AND THE STARS WILL FALL FROM THE SKY, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the SON OF MAN COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF THE SKY with power and great glory.”
(Matthew 24:29–30, NASB)
Yes, “That day is a day of wrath, A Day of trouble and distress, A Day of destruction and desolation, A Day of darkness and gloom, A Day of clouds and thick darkness.” (Zephaniah 1:15, NASB)
Today, He is revealed to us as a gracious Lord; but on that day, He will come as the righteous Judge. At that time, He will judge us not according to the worldly standards we have relied upon, but according to our deeds.
However, the Lord will be a refuge for those who live in a manner pleasing to Him. If we live a life that is pleasing to the Lord, we need not cry out in terror on that day like the mighty warriors described in Scripture. The reason is that the Lord Himself will be our refuge and our strong fortress. We read:
“The LORD roars from Zion And utters His voice from Jerusalem, And the heavens and the earth tremble. But the LORD is a refuge for His people And a stronghold to the sons of Israel.” (Joel 3:16, NASB)
The second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ will not be a day of fear for those who live in a manner pleasing to Him; rather, it will be a day of great joy—a day like the wedding day when the bridegroom and bride are united.
Yes, God revealed this to John, His servant and disciple:
“Let us rejoice and be glad and give the glory to Him, for the marriage of the Lamb has come and His bride has made herself ready.” (Revelation 19:7, NASB)
Therefore, if we do not want to fear the coming day of the Lord, it is essential that we prepare ourselves and live according to this truth: “The marriage of the Lamb has come, and His bride has made herself ready.”
Praying and striving merely for worldly blessings will bring us no lasting benefit on the final day. What matters eternally is whether we are ready for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Are we truly prepared for His coming?
