Ezekiel 12:22-23

“Son of man, what is this proverb that you people have about the land of Israel, which says, ‘The days are prolonged, and every vision fails’? Tell them therefore, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “I will lay this proverb to rest, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel.” ’ But say to them, ‘ “The days are at hand, and the fulfillment of every vision.”
Ezekiel 12:22-23

As it was centuries ago, so it is now; the prophecies of God are often ridiculed as tall tales that deserve no place in the mind of an intelligent person.

For the honest seeker who takes the time to search God’s word, fulfilled prophecies come one after another with indisputable accuracy. Yet the world scoffs. The prophecies of God are still waiting for the time to reveal their fruition that will take place whether believed upon or not.

There are those who laugh at the idea that Jesus will come again. The follower of Christ longs to see that day; the rejector of His love shakes their head and inwardly hopes it never, ever happens. Oh, how the Lord yearns for every man and woman to hear His voice and be ready for His return! Today, let’s keep the Lord’s return in mind, ready by His grace for that day, eyes scanning the horizon for that sweet hour.
