PREPARING FOR THE RETURN OF CHRIST

Scripture: GENESIS 46:26-34, GENESIS 47:1-2


Preparing for the Return of Christ
Dr. Rick E. Ferguson
Genesis 46:26-47:2

How much longer can this old world survive? That's the question everyone is asking these days. How will the world end?

Will it end in a nuclear holocaust?

Will we run out of natural resources and die from shortages of fuel and food?

Will we over populate the world and die of starvation and disease?

Will we poison ourselves to death by air, water and soil pollution?

Will we eventually burn up because we've destroyed the ozone with hair spray and air-conditioner freon? (I'm told that if the average temperature of the planet raises 5 degrees it can no longer sustain life.)

In Genesis 46 we see an Old Testament story that gives us a preview, or a prophetic picture, of Christ's return to earth. It is the story of Joseph going out to meet his brothers and father, to take them back to Egypt to live with him. In my opinion it provides a beautiful and accurate picture of the return of our Lord and Savior Jesus ...
