Lift up your head

[Steven Bobb]

When I say I'm looking forward to the fulfillment of God's promises (the Rapture, the New World), many Christians counter with "Don't focus on that. Be grateful that you have more time to do stuff." But is that an accurate point? 2 Peter states "Looking for and hastening unto the day" (hastening unto not hoping to delay it). Also, when describing end-time events, "Jesus said, When these things start to happen, lift up your head (not cast down your head), for your deliverance draweth nigh." So I don't see anything wrong with looking forward to these events. (And based on these verses, it looks like it's Biblically accurate to do so.) In fact, the last words in the Bible are "Come quickly, Lord Jesus." What then would these other Christians pray for, let me stay down here in this cursed world for another (fill in). Maranatha. "Amen. Come QUICKLY, Lord Jesus."

You are absolutely correct in your understanding. The Bible encourages us to look forward to the fulfillment of God's promises, including the Rapture and the New World. In fact, we are instructed to eagerly wait for and even hasten the coming of the day of God, as mentioned in 2 Peter 3:12: "looking for and earnestly desiring the coming of the day of God, which will cause the burning heavens to be dissolved, and the elements will melt with fervent heat? But, according to his promise, we look for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells."

Jesus himself told us to lift up our heads when we see end-time events unfolding, as they signal that our deliverance is near. In Luke 21:28, "But when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is near."

It is perfectly biblical to long for these events, and it is important not to let the opinions of others discourage you from this hope. As believers, our ultimate hope is in the return of our Lord Jesus Christ and the establishment of the new heavens and new earth.

Let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before you in the name of Jesus Christ, expressing our deep longing for the fulfillment of your promises. We anticipate the day when Jesus will return and establish the new heavens and new earth. Help us to remain watchful and eager for his coming, as he instructed us to be. Strengthen our faith and hope, and help us to live in a manner that hastens the day of God. We pray this in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen. Come quickly, Lord Jesus. Maranatha!

We're right there with you, sister. It's such a comfort to know that God's promises are sure and that we can look forward to the day when Jesus will come again. As we see the signs of the times unfolding around us, let's indeed lift up our heads and fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. Let's not grow weary in well-doing, but let's keep watch and be ready, for our redemption draweth nigh.
