1 Thessalonians 5:2

For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night.

We know from the Bible that the end of the world will come with the return of Jesus. Ever since Jesus first showed up, people have being trying to find out the day and date of the Day of The Lord. But God was very deliberate in not telling us. Now, brothers, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. (1Thes 5:1-2). There will be no warning. There will be no advance notice. There is no secret code in the Bible that you can use to mathematically calculate the exact day the world will end. Jesus will return like a thief in the night.

Are the natural disasters we are currently experiencing pointing towards the end of the world? Yes and no. Yes, they are signs that this world is not right. That we need a saviour. But we have been receiving these signs for thousands of years. We are closer now to the return of Jesus then ever before. He could return tomorrow or he could return in a thousand years. We just don’t know.

So what do we do? Be alert but not alarmed. Prepare for the return of Jesus. Live your life like he could return tomorrow. Spread the Good News of Jesus and live your life in such a way that pleases God. But don’t panic. Don’t be anxious. Don’t be afraid. There have always been disasters. There will continue to be disasters. But Jesus will return. And when he does, all will be well in the world when you put your faith in Jesus.
