Yes - I know. I put that extra word on the phrase when I refer to the 'scenario' that is the collection of 'events' that make up "the end of the end"...
What I meant by my post (that you quoted) was/is in the sense of:
"It wont be long now, folks!"
A few scriptures to help us live always ready:
1 John 3:3 And everyone who thus hopes in him
purifies himself as he is pure.
2 Pet 3
11Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of people ought you to be in lives of
holiness and godliness, 12waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, ...
So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:
8Who shall also confirm you unto the end,
that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Gal 6:6 Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things.
7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
9 And
let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
Lukw 12
And the Lord said, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom his master will set over his household, to
give them their portion of food at the proper time? 43Blessed is that servant
i whom his master will find so doing when he comes.
44Truly, I say to you, he will set him over all his possessions.
45But if that servant says to himself, ‘My master is delayed in coming,’ and begins to beat the male and female servants, and to eat and drink and get drunk,
46the master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know, and will cut him in pieces and put him with the unfaithful.
47And that servant who knew his master’s will but did not get ready or act according to his will, will receive a severe beating.
48But the one who did not know, and did what deserved a beating, will receive a light beating. Everyone to whom much was given, of him much will be required, and from him to whom they entrusted much, they will demand the more.
