So little time and so much to do! - NCCG.ORG Ning Network Archive 2008-10

1 Cor. 15:51-54 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

The first month of the biblical year begins with Passover. Two thousand years ago, the new age began with the crucifixion oYah'shua on the Cross on Passover! Next, Messiah rose from the dead precisely on day of the celebration of first fruits. Then, fifty days later, the Feast of Shavu'ot (Pentecost) began the celebration of the harvest season. This day marked the outpouring of the Ruach haQodesh (Holy Spirit) and the beginnings of the first harvest right here in Jerusalem as three thousand souls came into the kingdom!

Now, here we are, in the midst of the summer harvest -- the harvest of souls, awaiting the great sound of the trumpet! When the trumpet sounds -- it shall be the beginning of a new age when "this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality!"

So as we celebrate Yom Teruah (Feast of Trumpets), it’s a reminder that this age is soon coming to a close -- that the summer will soon end and there will be no more days to work. Let’s take heed the sound of the shofar and rise to this awesome occasion!

We live this life only once, so let’s do what we need to do while we still can! Let’s not put off the good we are called to do! Don’t put off forgiving others -- forgive now! Don’t put off sharing with that neighbor with whom you’ve been wanting to share for years -- share now! Don’t put off going forth and doing the great things God has called you to do — do them now! These are the final days of the harvest -- let’s get out into the field and finish the work that needs done so that we might all be able to rejoice together in the end!!

Amen and amen. Welcome back, my brother. You've been sorely missed.
