The Day of the Lord

Woe to you who long for the day of the Lord! Why do you long for the day of the Lord? That day will be darkness, not light. it will be as though a man fled from a lion only to meet a bear, as though he entered his house and rested his hand on the wall only to have a snake bite him. 

... “I hate, I despise your religious feasts; I cannot stand your assemblies. Even though you bring me burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them. Though you bring choice fellowship offerings, I will have no regard for them.  Away with the noise of your songs! I will not listen to the music of your harps...You have lifted up the shrine of your king, the pedestal of your idols, the star of your god—which you made for yourselves. Therefore I will send you into exile beyond Damascus,” says the Lord, whose name is God Almighty. ~Amos 5:18-26 ~

The Average Person: Wake up, have breakfast, go to work, talk about their dreams, plans, weekends, what they will buy, how they will spend their money, maybe go to the Gym after work where they pridefully look in the mirror, go home, eat dinner, talk more about themselves, plans, dreams, etc, watch T.V., go to bed. Throughout the day their is much complaining, slander, gossip, and boasting, always trying to get ahead and make more money so they can buy more stuff and go more places, the focus is mostly on self and family. There is very little to no talk of God.

The Average person that calls themselves Christian: Wake up, have breakfast, go to work, talk about their dreams, plans, weekends, what they will buy, how they will spend their money, maybe go to the Gym after work where they pridefully look in the mirror, go home, eat dinner, talk more about themselves, plans, dreams, etc, watch T.V., go to bed. Throughout the day their is much complaining, slander, gossip, and boasting, always trying to get ahead and make more money so they can buy more stuff and go more places, the focus is mostly on self and family. There is very little to no talk of God. They will probably never share Christ with a stranger or lead anyone to Salvation.They spend little to no time reading the Bible or being in prayer. Their stomach is their real God (their desires) The Bible says "although they profess to know God, they deny Him by their deeds.

Here is the interesting part...if you talk about the rapture, the coming of Christ, most would be excited and say they look forward to it! God says "Woe to you who long for the day of the Lord! Why do you long for the day of the Lord? That day will be darkness, not light. it will be as though a man fled from a lion only to meet a bear, as though he entered his house and rested his hand on the wall only to have a snake bite him.

Therefore, my brothers, be all the more eager to make your calling and election sure... ~ 2 Peter 1:10 ~
