Revelation 1:8 - I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, says the Lord, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.

First, let me remind you...the words in red are from Christ! The Word is truth. 

All I know is God/Jesus knows the beginning from the end in any and all situations from the minutest thing to the largest. 
What man can do this? 
Don’t think He doesn't know the outcome of elections, our hearts’ motives, each of our demises? Don’t think He knows about “climate change?”  He has a purpose, that all men should know Him. He both knows...and cares.

Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will. (Matthew 10:29)

I have this sign in my kitchen. 
We are to love Him above all other things. We are to trust in His Son, Jesus, which means turning to Him in repentance. God wishes none to perish in this world. Not even terrorists! If we all go to Him with hearts humbled, asking for Him to forgive us of our sins, He is so willing to do this. We need not go to any other person. We go directly to God. He is never too busy to hear heartfelt prayers. He doesn't want our good works. He just wants us...to come to Him. 


He is the Alpha and Omega, as seen above. He has shown us what the days will be like prior to His return. We are beginning to see evidence of this. I know...we've heard for thousands of years He is returning soon. When do you think He will have seen enough evil, enough rejection of Him and His Son, enough rejection of what His Word says is wrong that the world today ignores as truth? When is enough enough?

All He wants for us is good. This good will come when He returns. It comes with dedication to Him and in the very end with eternal life. Not everyone will have this life if they have not put Him first, believed His Words, trusted in His Son only, not works, for the salvation of our souls. 

He is the Alpha and Omega. He is the first, as Creator God and the last, as Christ our conquering Savior, King of kings and Lord of lords. We can live in the same victory, through Christ. 

Today it would be wise to know these truths in our heart. His truths are the best and surest. What He says, He will accomplish...and I believe it will be soon. Do you really know Him? Have you really given your life to Him? Have you ever thought about your life and looked at the things you've done that might have been or are not quite on the up and up? Have you ever felt guilty about what you've done or have you dismissed it as "everyone else does it?" God does not grade on a curve. If it's wrong in His eyes, it's wrong. 

He knows the beginning from the end. He knows our hearts. He knows who needs saving. He's wanting that none should perish. Will you be part of that group? Can you be humble? Can you ask your Heavenly Father for forgiveness? Today's a good day...before it's too late. (Just an aside...yesterday's terrorist attack in Manhattan (October 2017)...I wonder how many of those victims, despite their innocence in this act and not deserving of their deaths, knew God? I wonder how many met Him? I wonder what they know right now? There is no place where they wait and see if the good they did in their lives outweighs the bad. God is just and without our receiving His Son we are toast! 

Matthew 24:29-30,36-38,42,44 - Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only. But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark...
Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming.
Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.
