The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Matthew 24:21-27, “For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will.
22 Unless those days had been cut short, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short.
23 Then if anyone says to you, ‘Behold, here is the Christ,’ or ‘There He is,’ do not believe him.
24 “For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect.
25 ‘Behold, I have told you in advance.
26 ‘So if they say to you, “Behold, He is in the wilderness,” do not go out, or, “Behold, He is in the inner rooms,” do not believe them.
27 “For just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes even to the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.”

Although I have not yet heard it said, with all the conglomeration in the news these days,
it would come as no surprise if someone were to say (or, has already said) that Jesus is hiding in seclusion in a little-known cave somewhere in Israel. Stranger things are said
these days.

The phrase, “do not believe them” in verse 26 tells us that His Coming will not be to the
few alone. Rather, He will be revealed to mankind when and how He chooses. Anyone
who listens to the multiple “preachers” on the Internet and/or on YouTube, will soon
know how confused many preachers are about the Coming of our LORD Jesus. Of course,
they all want every viewer to assume their position as their own. Just note carefully that
it is Jesus who says, “…do not believe them.”

Have you intentionally noticed the way of lightening? The Bible says that lightening flashes from east to west. When, though, does lightening flash? It flashes when, where and as
often as the LORD desires. We have no more control over when it flashes than we do that
it flashes. It is entirely under control of the Almighty! And in the same way, we have no knowledge of when or where on Earth the LORD is coming. That’s why we must be ready!

Don’t waste time with foolish things or foolish talk about the precise time of His Coming!
The LORD alone knows when it will be. We have enough to do to be ready for when He does come!

Heartily in Christ Jesus,

(Dado III)
