Genesis 10 & 11 -- The End In Sight

“There will be no more waiting!  In the days when the seventh angel is ready to blow his trumpet, God’s secret will be finished.  This secret is the Good News God told to His servants, the prophets.”

The Good News is the Gospel of Christ.  It’s about salvation.  So does this mean that when the seventh angel blows his trumpet, that God will be turning off salvation by faith in Christ?  After that, will it be too late?

In chapter 11, when the seventh angel did blow his trumpet, loud voices in heaven announced that God had taken back rule over the earth.  Satan would no longer flaunt his rule.  The announcement was made that it was time to judge the dead and to destroy those who would destroy the world.

By this point, the hearts of those left behind are certainly hardened.  Otherwise, they would reflect on all these catastrophes and determine that they’d rather be on God’s side!  How blinded they’ve become!

Father, as I look back at my own life, I remember all too well a time when I let pride blind me to Your truth.  Thank You for restoring me before it was too late.  Thank You for undoing much of the damage I’d done to myself and others.  Please keep me ever mindful that time is short and people need to hear Your Good News.

Your Brother In Christ,
Gary Ford
