![]() ![]() Jesus' soon return is another day closer. I also recall that earthquakes are one of Jesus' return milestones which means that as we feel the pain and share the grief with those who have lost their families and friends, we cannot afford to ignore the bigger picture. In my wildest dream, I never imagined that the figure would reach the colossal figure and probably still be counting. ![]() I recall that 24 and 48 hours after the incident, while the death toll had reached around 3000, I was shocked and taken aback that so many people had died due to the unfortunate disaster. The death toll from Turkey and Syria's recent earthquake had passed 28,000, while over 85,000 more people got injured today, 12 th February 2023. For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him. Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as, in fact, you are doing. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness. So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be awake and sober. For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, get drunk at night. But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, putting on faith and love as a breastplate and the hope of salvation as a helmet. You are all children of the light and children of the day. But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief. Now, brothers and sisters, about times and dates, we do not need to write to you, for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. While people are saying "Peace and safety," destruction will come on them suddenly, as labour pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. ![]()
