There are many who insist the end is nigh. They just cant wait for the end to come. There might be one problem with that. The Lord rang this through the servant who writes to you today like a bell rings in a tower: "What if I'm not done yet?"
2 Peter 3:9 “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”
→ God’s patience/delays judgment so people have time to be saved.
What else has the Lord impressed lately? A "vision" or impression of a set of knitting needles and yarn out on the horizon, with our hands (the hands of mankind) working with His Hands to co-create the future. We, the Church are an active participant in the future by His design. What does that mean? It means the prophets of doom may have to wait to get their doom. It means our best days may still be ahead of us, not behind us. It means that the Church gets a say, a vote in what happens next.
The Lord also impressed a "vision" of an infinite possibility future, where mankind has not even scratched the surface (today) of what is possible. We think things are so advanced now with computers and AI but around us, there is an expanding universe of limitless discovery and possibility. We have'nt even nicked the surface of it.
AI as of today has trouble even reporting the correct date with clear instructions to do so, which means it is not ready as of today to take over the world. That said, this world is in an advanced stage and quite possibly the Lord could arrive unexpected at any moment. So which is it? We do not know and we are not going to know until He arrives which is why He told us over and over again to be watching and ready for His unexpected return at all times. We must be fully ready to leave with Him at a moments notice and at the same exact time we must be fully prepared to wait however long it takes for Him to do all He is pleased to do on this earth until He is finished. These two realities have existed and will continue to exist together.
Why write about the stuff at the beginning of this post? Because the Lord provided it, and because it provides a counter to the doom only "prophets." The Lord can extend this timeline as long as He wants to. He can throw any number of monkey wrenches into the globalist establishments machine to cause it to stumble, thus extending the time to do what He wants to do on this earth.
Speaking of what He wants to do on this earth, we His children have been called to level up, the advance all of our talents, skills and abilities to become the very best versions of ourselves-all centered in His good, pleasing and perfect Will. His Will is that we Love Him with all our heart, soul and mind, and we love each other with His Love not the "love" of this world. He works in us and through us to accomplish His Will.
Philippians 2:13
“For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.” (KJV)
Jeremiah 29:11
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
Yes, the book of Revelation, and the tribulation will be dark days for this world, however....This does not exclude the possibility of some of the brightest days of the Church arriving beforehand. The servant who writes to you today believes the Lord God has extended to us a HOPE in our future here on earth. As opposed to the prophets of doom who tell us to start digging our bunkers now and topping off our preps. That is not what this servant is hearing from the Spirit of the Lord.
Our best days ahead ties in directly with our obedience to level up into the best versions of ourselves-centered in His Will. Notice all the "bests" in the recent discussion. The possibility of the best days being ahead is not so we can all kick our feet up on the table and return to worldly living. The purpose of all of this is to finish strong. There is a direct tie in to the parable of the talents, and the parable of the wise virgins here. He gave us "talents" skills and abilities. He expects us to put them to profitable use. Anyone who thinks the parable of the talents was just about money missed the whole point of the parable.
This is about alignment and agreement with our Lord, and His Will. Nowhere in the Bible will you find the Church appointed to wrath, in fact its just the opposite:
1 Thessalonians 5:9 (KJV)
“For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ.”
- 1 Thessalonians 1:10 — “…and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.”
- Romans 5:9 — “Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.”
- Revelation 3:10 (to the church in Philadelphia) — “Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world…”
Bottom line here:
Yes, the Lord could come back today-pull His Church out and begin the tribulation. We must be ready for that possibility. However......we must also be ready for the possibility that the Lord pushes the timeline back further to save every soul possible before the hell on earth of the tribulation begins. We must also open the eyes of our heart, mind and spirit to see the possibility of a hope filled future from now through whenever the end comes.
The story of Noah gives us a clear pattern for the end times:
- Normal Life Continued Right Up to the End People were eating, drinking, marrying, building, buying, selling — everyday human activity. From their perspective, it looked like “business as usual” or even good days. → This mirrors the sense that we can have relatively “good or best days” for believers (open doors, gospel advance, fruitfulness) even as the world continues normally.
- Noah Had an Open Door of Grace While the world carried on, Noah was building the ark and preaching righteousness (2 Peter 2:5). God gave him time, protection, and an open door to complete his assignment. The door of the ark stood open until the very day Noah and his family entered. Then God shut it (Genesis 7:16).
- Sudden Transition from Normal to Judgment The flood came the same day Noah entered the ark. There was no long warning period after the door closed. → This supports the idea of a period of relative normalcy / opportunity for the righteous, followed by sudden judgment.
2 Chronicles 7:14
“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” (KJV)
-We are at a cross-roads right now similar to the cross roads, solar eclipses that passed over America in recent history. The push back of darkness and the advance of what is good, and right does not have to stop with Trump in 2028. Trump is not a perfect man, neither was Cyrus the Great of Persia when he set Israel free from Babylonian captivity in antiquity. Trump and Cyrus are shadows or types of each other. Cyrus set Israel free from Babylon back then, and Trump has setback the current end time Babylonian spirit in the same way. Cyrus setting Israel free from ancient Babylon paved the way for the building of the second temple. Trump setting at least part of the world free from the current Babylonian system will pave the way for building the third temple. There is nothing new under the sun:
Ecclesiastes 1:9
“The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.” (KJV)
If the Lord comes back soon-great. If the Lord tarries and gives us time to develop and center in His Will-great. Either way, its time for us to do our job. As we do our job we must remember we do it with and through Love. Without love, nobody gets into the Kingdom:
1 Corinthians 13:1-3 (the clearest on this idea)
“Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity [love], I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.”
This shows that without love, even the greatest spiritual works are worthless.
1 John 4:7-8, 20
“Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.” “If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?”
Matthew 22:36-40 (The Greatest Commandments) Jesus said the whole law hangs on loving God fully and loving your neighbor as yourself. Without love, you are not fulfilling what God requires.
Galatians 5:14 & 22
“For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.” “But the fruit of the Spirit is love…” (Love is listed first — the evidence of true spiritual life.)
The Bible teaches that love is not optional for entering or inheriting the Kingdom of God. Without love (especially love for God and others), all other religious activity is empty. True saving faith produces love.

Thats it for today. Hopefully you are encouraged by the possibility of our best days still being ahead of us not behind us. The Lord has prepared a hope and a future for us both on this earth and beyond it.
Please join with your brother in praying over the prayer targets today.
Glory to God
grace and peace
