As surely as the water gathers behind a dam, the day of judgment is coming.

And one day it will be revealed.

In fact, that's a message that the sermon that the Apostle Paul preached to the Athenians on Mars Hill from Acts chapter 17.

It's the very core of the Christian gospel.

It's what Christianity is all about.

And he said to them in Acts 17, he said,

The time of ignorance God has overlooked.

But now he commands everyone everywhere to repent.

For he has appointed a day. He has appointed a day in which he will

judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he has appointed. And in order to prove that this is the

man who is going to be the judge of the world, he raised him from the dead. In fact, Jesus said that the father judges no one,

but the son will be the judge. The very savior who died on that cross and rose again is going

to be the judge who sits on the high bench on that last day. We have been looking at the signs

of the return of Christ. We look today probably to the clearest and the most detailed sign of the return of Christ.

I want you to turn with me, please, to Matthew chapter 24, beginning at verse 29.

In these few verses, the Lord Jesus Christ delineate for us what we're going to see

happening to the cosmos. What is going to happen globally? Is it going to be global catastrophe?

And there can be little doubt that soon after that his return to take his bride home,

his return to take his children to heaven is around the corner.

Matthew 24, 29 to 31 says that he shall return immediately when you see catastrophic events. Look at the verses again.

In fact, you cannot help if you follow science like I do or are interested in reading about

what's happening in the world that those verses in days gone by drew a lot of criticism.
