Today is the Time to Encourage One Another.

“Today, if you will hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”

The few who are faithful to the testimony of Christ need to encourage one another, today. Yesterday does not guarantee faithfulness to Jesus today, and tomorrow is a new day that is not in the events of today, Jesus says, “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.” Matthew 6:34 Today is when we need to encourage fellow Believers to hold on to what we have in Jesus. “Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God, but exhort one another daily, while it is called “Today.”

God is still working in this world today, Bible prophecy is being fulfilled in front of our eyes, and Jesus Christ is coming soon. Isaiah 53 is to Jesus Christ what Revelation 13 is to the beast. The beast has power over physiology and gives people what to say, do, think, and feel. The beast is in this world today, and is here for “42 months,” meaning that the return of Jesus Christ is within “42 months,” As written in Revelation 13:5 “and it was given authority to continue for forty-two months.” Let’s encourage one another with the Word of God, “lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.” Click for a post on the beginning and end of the beast’s “42 months”, from Revelations 13:5-6.

We will share in the resurrection from the dead with Jesus Christ and live eternally with Him, “For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end.”

“Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief
in departing from the living God, but exhort one another daily, while it is called “Today,”
lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
For we have become partakers of Christ
if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end, while it is said:
“Today, if you will hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”
Hebrews 3:12-15

All of Today’s People are Rebellious to the Word of God.

The rebellion in the wilderness happened because everyone decided that Moses would not be returning. “For whom, having heard, rebelled? Indeed, was it not all who came out of Egypt, led by Moses?” As a result, the majority built their own god, the Golden Calf. Today, no one believes that Jesus Christ is returning, so the whole world has chosen to live by the god of this world, which is the beast giving them what to say, do, think, and feel. Those who serve the beast are wearing the fig leaf of humanism. “All who dwell on the earth will worship [the beast], whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.” Revelation 13:8. Corpses are falling dead to the Gospel of Christ due to the sin of rebellion against the Deity of God. They will not enter into eternal life in the New Jerusalem, “And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who did not obey?”

“Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” John 14:6

“For whom, having heard, rebelled?
Indeed, was it not all who came out of Egypt, led by Moses?
Now with whom was He angry forty years?
Was it not with those who sinned, whose corpses fell in the wilderness?
And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who did not obey?
So, we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.”
Hebrews 3:16-19

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:11
