The End of the World

How can we prepare for the end of the world? By
understanding God's Word ! What will a believer
be like who is prepared? They will be:

LIVING CONFIDENTLY v. 1-2 But concerning
the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no
need that I should write to you.2 For you yourselves
know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes
as a thief in the night.

ANTICIPATING APOSTASY v. 3 For when they
say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction
comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant
woman. And they shall not escape.

EXPOSING THEIR IDENTITY v. 4-7 But you,
brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day
should overtake you as a thief.5 You are all sons
of light and sons of the day. We are not of the
night nor of darkness.6 Therefore let us not sleep,
as others do, but let us watch and be sober.7 For
those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who
get drunk are drunk at night.

PROTECTING THEIR SPIRITUAL LIVES v. 8 But
let us who are of the day be sober, putting on
the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet
the hope of salvation.

TRUSTING GOD v. 9-10 For God did not appoint
us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our
Lord Jesus Christ,10 who died for us, that whether
we wake or sleep, we should live together with
Him.

HELPING OTHERS v. 11 Therefore comfort each
other and edify one another, just as you also are
doing.
