All you people of the world, you who live on the earth, when a banner is raised on the mountains, you will see it, and when a trumpet sounds, you will hear it.

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭18‬:‭3‬ ‭NIV‬‬

To cop a fitting cliche, when all is said and done, it literally will be so.

We are guaranteed to witness, see and hear the beginning of the ending of time as we know it.

While it will strike joy in the hearts of many, it will trigger the fear of all fears in the hearts and minds of others who repeatedly chose against the invitation to be free.

The ‘us vs them’ that has characterized our world on every issue from the start will be immediately rendered a non-issue as it transfers to the hand of the one who issued such things from the very beginning.

Relief from the struggle will create joyous elation and deep regret simultaneously as their determinations and destinations are set.

This is why now and today is so critical for all of us while we still can act before the banner appears and the trumpet sounds.

For when God writes names in the Lamb’s book of life, he does so for eternity.
