Ezekiel 6-7, Song of Solomon 4, Matthew 25:1-30
What God said to me – Because I have delayed My coming people either believe “I AM” not really ever coming or they think there is plenty of time. Neither is true. Like sands in an hourglass, time will actually run out. There will be a point when the door is shut and those on the outside will have no more chance of redemption. Look at Noah’s day – he preached about the need for people to repent and turn to Me up until the day when he entered the ark, I shut the door, and the rain began to fall. Look at the parable of the ten virgins – five were prepared and ready for My coming, even with My delay, but the other five thought there was plenty of time to get ready and they were not there when I shut the door, and it was too late. Notice in each situation “I” shut the door. Judgment is on My timetable. Time is running out – there is a day soon coming when I will shut the door so act with urgency and share about the need to repent and to come to Me for salvation. The door is about to shut!
