"KEEP ON THE WATCH"

Keep On The Watch

What does the future hold for us? Exciting times are yet to come. Paul warned that"Jehovah's day is coming exactly as a thief in the night." Referring to men who appear to be worldly-wide, he says: "Whenever it is that they are saying: 'Peace and security!' Then sudden destruction is to be instantly upon them." Hence, Paul urges his readers: "Let us not sleep on as the rest do, but let us stay awake and keep our senses." (Thessalonians5:2, 3, 6) Truly, those who look to human institutions to bring peace and security are ignoring reality. Such individuals are fast asleep!

The destruction of this system of things will come with striking suddenness. Therefore, keep in expectation of Jehovah's day. God himself told Habakkuk: "It will not be late!" Indeed, it has never been more urgent for us to keep on the watch. (spiritually)
