Oh, let the Son of God enfold you with His spirit and his love.

Let him fill your heart and satisfy your soul.

Oh, let him have the things that hold you,

and his spirit like a dove will descend upon your life and make you home.

Welcome to the Word for today,

featuring the Bible teaching of Pastor Chuck Smith, founder of the Calvary Chapel movement.

This radio program is a verse by verse study through the entire Bible.

And on today's edition of the Word for today, Pastor Chuck continues with signs of the times as we pick up in Luke chapter 12 verse 54 and now with today's message

here's pastor chow now he is talking to his disciples up to this point now he turns to the crowd

and he said to the people when you see a cloud rise out of the west, immediately you say,

oh, there's going to be a shower. And so it is. And when you see the south wind blow,

you say, oh, it's going to be a hot day today. And it comes to pass. Over there, of course, from the west would be your, it would be

coming from the Mediterranean Sea. So like here, when you've got the clouds blowing in from the ocean,

say, oh, we're going to have a shower, you know. You get the Santana's blowing, you say,

oh, it's going to be a hot one today, you know.

So over there, much the same.

Jesus said, you hypocrites, you can discern the face of the sky and of the earth.

But how is it that you can't discern this time?

In other words, you're able to tell by the signs in the heavens what kind of a day it's going to be, rainy or hot.

Why isn't that you haven't been able to read the signs that God has placed for the time of the coming of the Messiah?

And he rebuked them because they had not known the time of his coming.

They should have.
