If Jesus Comes During This festive Season, Would He Find You Watching?

Jesus said:

But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Matthew 24:37-39

If this particular saying of Jesus was anything to go by, that means that Jesus could very well come on Christmas day or during the festive season, because the instance He gave described a festive period and people in a celebratory mood. And there's no more festive period in a calendar year than Christmas.

So if Jesus comes during the festive season, would He find you watching?

Jesus said:

Matthew 24:48-51 (KJV)

But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.


I don't think many have considered the possibility of Jesus coming in the festive period when people were in a celebratory mood, eating and drinking, dancing and partying, but from what Jesus said here, there is a likelihood that it's such a time when many do not expect Him to return, that He would. So many would be caught unawares because they're not ready for His return.

I have a feeling the 2002 Asian tsunami was a warning sign to mankind about what was to come, because it bore resemblance to what happened in the days of Noah, which Jesus said would be similar to what would happen on His return. It took place on the 26th of December, when the festive season was at a peak, when many were eating and drinking, dancing and partying, but they didn't know until the flood came and took them all away.

It hence became the worst disaster in living history, with over two hundred thousand lives lost, and I believe the period it took place significantly impacted the figures, hence that the casualties would have been far less had it not taken place on the festive period when people least expected and consequently least prepared for such.

Hence Jesus said:

Luke 21:34-36 (KJV)

And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.


So just as Jesus said, ensure that you don't get carried away with the Christmas celebrations, eating, drinking, dancing and partying that you forget to watch.

Because it's on such a day that you least expect Him that He would appear. So that when He comes, He wouldn't find you sleeping.

God bless.

Why does what Jesus says prick your conscience so much if not that you're a worker of iniquity and His Words brings your evil works to light?

Because I can't see any other reason for the extent of pain and apprehension you exhibited in your comment.

Jesus spoke about people not becoming carried away with surfeiting because that could make someone to lose focus, so what other period could typify surfeiting than Christmas?

It's obvious that you're nothing but an Antichrist because this is not even about your mammon prophet, yet it still hurts you this much to prove why you're so committed the gospel of mammon.

It's really shameful that you're too blind to see how lost you are to the Truth.

Not surprising when men and mammon have taken the place of the Holy Ghost in your life.

What's the difference between Hinduism and Islam

Re: If Jesus Comes During This Festive Season, Would He Find You Watching? by AntiChristian: 7:05am On Dec 28, 2020

What's the difference between Hinduism and Islam

Islam enjoins total submission to the will of Allah and following His messenger.

Hinduism believes in the continuous circle of life, death, reincarnation...

Islam does not believe in reincarnation or continuous form of life.

Hinduism is closer to Christianity where your God became man then died then rose...as a continuous circle of life.

Hinduism have three main Gods like Christians. Their gods can take human form too. Brahman, Vishnu and Shiva.

God can become man in Islam. Our Lord is one and believe in incarnation is disbelief.

So what's the difference between Father Christmas and Masquerade?

Hinduism uses vagina-like Blackstone that they kiss just the way muslims kiss the Blackstone placed in the vagina-like structure

The Kaaba is the home of Hindu god, Shiva, Muhammad only stole it.

The crescent moon is the symbol of Shiva.
