As Ye See The Day Approaching

Hebrews 10:22-25 - Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) 24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: 25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.


  1. Introduction.

    1. Revelation 6 explains the various steps the Anti-Christ will take to establish his kingdom.

      1. The Anti-Christ will not come to power as other world governments have come into power.

      2. He comes in with peace, promising more peace, and gives continual and growing destruction to those who follow him.

    2. Some world leaders or those who attempted world dominion in recent memory:

      1. Alexander – of Greece.

      2. Stalin

      3. Japan

      4. Hitler

      5. Other world leaders who came to power using force:

        1. Daniel 7:3-8 –

        2. Babylonians

        3. Medes/Persian

        4. Grecian

        5. The forth beast – diverse from all beasts before it, because he comes into power using peace, not war.


  1. Now is the time for all of us to do whatever it is God directs us to do. (Actually the same things he always wants us to do!)

    1. II Corinthians 6:2 – Now is the accepted time for the lost to be saved because it will soon be too late to be saved.

    2. Romans 12:1 – present our bodies a living sacrifice, which is our reasonable service.

    3. I Corinthians 7:29-32 – Take care of our families by praying for them, talking to them about the soon coming of Christ in the rapture.

    4. Witness to the lost about the gospel and the soon coming wrath of God.

    5. Titus 2:13 – Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; (go back to verse 7) – Don’t be so concerned and anxious about worldly possessions or what will happen at the next turn toward liberalism the government makes. It is good to be informed, because we do not want that day to come upon us unawares.

    6. I don’t think there is anything wrong with continuing our daily activities, but if you are not ready to meet the Lord, NOW is the time to get ready. I know you have heard this many times before, but if you delay in getting right with God, you probably never will get right with him.

      1. Matthew 13:7 – the thorns choke the word.

      2. Mark 4:18,19 – the word becomes unfruitful.

      3. Luke 8:7 – bring no fruit to perfection (of animals that bring their young to maturity.

    7. Many people live today thinking about vengeance against somebody, not realizing they are spending their lives seeking justice for wickedness instead of seeking righteousness for themselves.

      1. Romans 12:19 – Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

      2. 2 Thessalonians 1:8 – In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:

      3. Hebrews 10:30 – For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.
