Favorite Bible Verse:
"Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand." - Revelation 1:3 KJV
Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, until that he have mercy upon us.
- Psalms 123:2
Watching is mentioned by Christ, and it's watching in this context you've shared, watching for His return, watching for deliverance from the snare that will trap the entire world (the great tribulation). Nothing is more important than us having our eyes, minds, and hearts stayed upon His soon return. Some assume that those not watching will get swooped up in the rapture just the same, but that's all it is, an assumption.

Nothing is more important than us having our eyes, minds, and hearts stayed upon His soon return. Some assume that those not watching will get swooped up in the rapture just the same, but that's all it is, an assumption. Obeying the words of the Master rather than making assumptions seems the better option to me. I'm often attacked for making this assertion, i.e., to not make assumptions but instead, carefully follow Jesus's instructions. Only time will tell, but in the meantime, I highly recommend watching wholeheartedly for His return, focused more on Jesus and less on the evil doings of this world.
Luk 21:35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
Luk 21:36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
Someone posted that AI has the potential to accept the antichrist and even work for him. Considering AI's soulless logic and algorithmic rationale, how could we say it will not have the potential to be used as a means to control, enslave and be wielded for many evil purposes? Something to think about
Elon Musk is a part of the world, too, but we, the children of God, know from the scriptures who the god of this world is.
2 Thessalonians 4
3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
Musk is a completely secular scientific humanist with no belief in God whatsoever.
Great video with 1 caveat. We are to run our race well. We are to hold on to our crown that no one takes it from us. He's not concerned about rewards, but Jesus reminds us to hold to it.
I think we have to look at certain word meanings. You cannot "lose" your salvation like you lose your keys or glasses but you can throw away your salvation via free will. When you get saved you don't forfeit your free will to choose Jesus or not to choose Jesus. Sadly, some do throw away their salvation and the bible speaks on what happens when you do it (2Peter 2:21). I just think the wording "once saved always saved" can give new or weak believers the wrong idea. Once you're saved you cannot c... moreI think we have to look at certain word meanings.

Sadly, some do throw away their salvation and the bible speaks on what happens when you do it (2Peter 2:21). I just think the wording "once saved always saved" can give new or weak believers the wrong idea. Once you're saved you cannot continue in sin.... willfully. We mess up for sure and feel absolutely horrible after we've messed up but some just willfully sin thinking they are saved no matter what they do and they have a pass to keep on sinning. Plenty of people living in known and willful sin think they are saved just because they believe in Jesus. I mean there are homosexual churches who absolutely believe in Jesus but Jesus is very clear many times throughout the bible that the sexually immoral and homosexuals will not enter the kingdom of heaven. 2 Peter gives clear indication that people can get saved and then throw it away.
