This is the last day of the Church’s liturgical year for the 2007 season. And the final message to sum up and conclude is: BE VIGILANT AT ALL TIMES! for the great and terrible Last Day can come at any time! Any time at all! Just because it has not occurred in 2000 years does not mean that it cannot happen today!
Jesus - who was sent into the world to be its savior and its hope - tells us to pray constantly and often during the day for the strength to stand when he comes as judge!
All of the kingdoms of the earth shall be crushed on that Day! especially that one which was most errant and most consciously rebellious of the ways of God. That fourth beast may be present in the world even now! Yet, no kingdom, no king is any match for the King of Kings and the Kingdom of God! The holy ones of God will be gathered into that Kingdom on the last day - and the reign of Christ will last for ever!
We are placed on this earth for one purpose only: to spend love in such a way that it will determine where we will spend eternity - in the new heavens and new earth that will appear at Judgment Day - or in the firey hell that awaits those who choose to do it their own way! It seems like such a lopsided choice - but many actually will choose the flames - rather than call God their Father - and live a life a bliss with their brothers and sisters at the Great Wedding Feast of the Lamb!
May we this day give glory and eternal praise to God - and may that praise continue all the days of our lives until we praise him for ever in heaven!
Amen!
