Revelation 6:1-1
Let's become believers who prepare for crisis!
The amount of precipitation per day in Seoul last week was 259.5 mm, the highest since 1908 when meteorological observations began. In particular, the rain fell intensively at a rate of 70 to 100 mm per hour, and the drainage system could not handle it. This resulted in a “super urban flood”. There are three main types of floods. River floods and coastal floods are traditional concepts. Urban flooding means 'the city is flooded because the water cannot drain out'. The sudden flooding of Gwanghwamun Square and nearby roads is an example of an urban flood. Major trains also stopped due to this urban flood. There were also power outages. At the Noryangjin Fish Market, a transformer hit by lightning stopped working on the afternoon of the 21st. Due to the power outage of the aquarium, the operation stopped for more than 10 hours, resulting in the mass death of fish and shellfish.
Japan has long been preparing to prevent urban flooding. A large-scale drainage system installed underground in Saitama Prefecture, near Tokyo, Japan. It can treat more than 180,000 tons of water at once. Among the disaster prevention facilities, there is a huge underground drainage system that is 177m long, 78m wide and 18m high, twice the size of a soccer field. This facility is said to be capable of treating 180,000 tons of water at once. It is said that it is a facility that can sufficiently treat cars with 1M50cm of water on the road. When you are ready, you can overcome the crisis.
On the other hand, in Japan, there are churches exclusively for weddings. Osaka Lutheran Church is impressive for its very good interior, clean management, and kindness. However, they know that it is common for Japanese people to go to a shrine when they are born, go to a church when they get married, and get married in a Buddhist way when they die. Japan, with a population of over 126 million, has the impression of being spiritually unprepared. If you are not prepared spiritually, you will be put to shame in the last days.
Matthew 3:3 “There was a voice of one crying in the wilderness, saying, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight the way for him to come.
"(God tells us to prepare for the coming of Jesus Christ)
Luke 12:47 “The servant who knows the will of his master and does not prepare and does not do it will be beaten much.”
(Those who do not prepare will receive more reproof)
Ephesians 2:10 “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works.
This is what God prepared beforehand, that we might walk in it.”
(For good works God has prepared us)
1 Peter 3:15 "Always be prepared to give an answer to anyone who asks you the reason for the hope that is in you."
2 Corinthians 9:5 “I thought it necessary to exhort them to prepare in advance the promised annual report.”
Genesis 22:8 "God will provide"
Today's text, Revelation 6:1-6, speaks of the signs of the end times. First, peace will be taken away from the earth. Revelation 6:4 says, “Peace will be taken away from the earth… ' he said. Let's become instruments of peace as those who prepare for crisis!
(Matthew 5:9, Ephesians 2:14). Second, let’s become instruments of love! In verse 4, “… Let them kill each other.” Be an instrument of love (John 13:34) Third, prepare for the time of tribulation! Verse 4 says, “And he received a great sword.”
