The End
July 6, 2023
“The End”
Blessings folk!
Peter now makes a profound statement in his letter.
Remember, the Spirit is leading, speaking, guiding…our words and minds fail us in understanding the way the Lord speaks through His vessels.
1 Pe 4:7a
The end of all things is at hand;…
The end?
The end is at hand?
The end of all things?
Yes!
The end was near.
The end is ever nearer.
The Scripture says much about the end.
Peter actually says much more in the second letter we have from him…we will see later.
Mat 24:13-14
(Jesus speaking) But the one who endures to the end will be saved.
And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
ESV
1 Jo 2:18
Children,
it is the last hour,
and as you have heard that antichrist is coming,
so now many antichrists have come.
Therefore we know that it is the last hour.
ESV
In many, if not most, of the Scriptures that speak of “the end” there is an exhortation to live as we should.
We will see this with Peter…later.
For now, are you aware that the end is at hand?
Are you enduring?
