"STAY AWAKE!"

Matthew 24:36-42                                 (ESV)
"36 "But concerning that day and hour NO ONE KNOWS, not even the angels of heaven, nor the SON, but the FATHER only.
37 For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the SON of MAN.
38 For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark,
39 and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the SON of MAN.
40 Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one left.
41 Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one left.
42 Therefore, "STAY AWAKE", for you do not know on what day your LORD is coming."


Saturday evening there were tornadoes about 150 miles west of my home.  Differing news reports place the fatalities of these storms between 11 and 24 people.  Sunday evening there have been severe thunderstorms with numerous reports of tornadoes, and we apparently have Warnings for more severe weather until midnight.   To my knowledge there have been no reports of casualties for Sunday evening, something we can be thankful for.

Social Media was rampant with reports on the weather Sunday evening.  Several friends were keeping others informed of dangerous developments throughout the evening.  Obviously the storms were capable of producing fatalities, as was exhibited during Saturday evening storm outbreak.  My friends who were alerting others were only concerned with others safety, as the Saturday evening storms were fresh on everyone's mind.  Watching weather radar reports a person can keep up with the storms locations and intensity.   A storm can hardly sneak up on anybody any longer as we have smartphone "apps" and programs to alert us of inclement weather.

Everyone should be aware that an event of cataclysmic proportions DEFINITELY IS coming, and very soon as Judgement Day WILL occur!  If there were an "app" for this event ALERTS would be going off like gangbusters!  JESUS said that we need to "STAY AWAKE", for we do not know on what day our LORD is coming, but HE did say we should be able to see when the days were drawing near.  JESUS CHRIST will return one day, and very soon!  There aren't enough warnings that can be given, as the GOD's WORD is the most authoritative warning system ever developed!  

An fail-proof ALERT system like has never been developed has been left for mankind by a HOLY GOD!  That ALERT system is known as the HOLY BIBLE and it is filled with passages that call on us to "STAY AWAKE".  In Matthew 24:44 JESUS says "Therefore you also must be ready, for the SON of MAN is coming at an hour you do not expect."  Your ALERT system should be activated.  "STAY AWAKE" should be more than a scare tactic, it should be a way of life!!
