09-30-2025 PART 1: Trumpets, Angels, and the Season of His Return
Manage episode 509412388 series 3547917
Section 1
Jesus’ return will be heralded by a phenomenal trumpet blast as angels actively carry out God’s plan—both gathering the righteous and executing judgment. Scripture portrays angels as obedient servants who work in perfect harmony with God’s mercy and justice, ministering to the heirs of salvation at His command, not ours. This grand ingathering will be a triumphant, united moment for all God’s people across the ages—an awe-filled reminder that there are powers and authorities beyond humanity, all subject to the Lord’s will.
Section 2
From the fig tree, Jesus teaches us to discern seasons rather than fixate on dates: when the buds appear, you know summer is near. Likewise, as foretold events begin to unfold, we recognize that His return is “at the door,” without knowing the exact time. The call is to be watchful without anxiety—walking by faith, not fear—because God rules over the affairs of people and nations. Instead of panic over headlines, believers should cultivate confidence, expectation, and steady obedience, trusting the unshakable Word that will never pass away.
Section 3
History cautions against date-setting (e.g., attempts tied to 1948 and shifting definitions of a “generation”). Jesus didn’t give a timetable; He gave signs and a mission: keep doing what He’s called us to do until He returns. The wise response is to resist speculative timelines, remain Bible-grounded and Spirit-led, and anchor our hope in God’s sovereignty. The nearness of His return is certain; its scheduling is His. So we keep our eyes on the prize, confident that the King who has never abandoned His people will gather us in due season—exactly on time.
