Heaven Bound

Signs. What would we do without signs? Go here … stop there … turn here  … helpful and necessary if people utilize them correctly but when there’s a multitude of signs in a short space of time or place it can get confusing.

I think that’s where we’re at today prophetically speaking. So, many signs and seemingly important events just in the last year or so that we can barely keep up. And while we’re grateful for signs at some point it begins to have the opposite effect. Probably because we have certain expectations about how things will play out and when they don’t we tend to become a bit jaded or even disillusioned. That being said, we have two signs that occurred in the last hours of 2024 and the early hours of 2025 that deserve mention. Both of which involved lightning in one form or another.

Just before midnight on New Years Eve four of our most significant public buildings were struck by lightning.

Followed just hours later by a man who purposely drove a truck into a crowd in New Orleans killing 15 people.  *Oddly enough the weaponized vehicle was a Ford F-150 Lightning.

But that was not the end – oh, no. Before the first day of the New Year was over someone else would lose their life when another truck exploded outside Trump Tower in Las Vegas.  And while not exactly tied to “lightning” in this instance it was the Tesla Cybertruck – the often compared to and alternative to the Ford F-150 Lightning …. so again, we have another close tie involving not only the word lightning but a tie to the vehicle used in the earlier event.

Needless to say the internet has been buzzing with these events. Some feel that God is sending us a message using words like ominous and omen in describing how they feel.

Lighting in the Bible is a sign of God’s great power and strength. In Psalm 97:4 it states:

“His lightning flashes out across the world; the earth sees and trembles”

I think it would be safe to say that indeed we have been given a sign. And for those of us who feel that no further signs are necessary we would do well to remember that it is not necessarily us (believers) for whom the signs are given. I’m pretty sure that in the days ahead … when things continue to unravel as they surely will there will be some who will remember this day and these signs and hopefully turn to the only one who can save them.
