31 mai 2025 | Chère tante Louise, Toute ma vie, j’ai entendu parler de la pluie de l’arrière-saison. On dit que la première pluie correspond au Saint Esprit, répandu au moment de la Pentecôte. Mais qu’est-ce donc que cette pluie de l’arrière-saison? Signé, Pluviophile Cher/ère Pluviophile, Dans le climat méditerranéen chaud de la Palestine, une […] Source: https://atoday.org/tante-louise-quest-ce-que-la-pluie-de-larriere-saison-dont-jentends-tant-parler/
Daily Lesson for Sunday 1st of June 2025
It is interesting to note that the lost are not crying out, “What is this?” or “Who is behind this?” They appear to know what is happening. They refer to Jesus as the Lamb, which would require knowing something of the story of Christ. They also seem aware that “the great day of His wrath has come,” and that they are caught in a hopeless position: “Who is able to stand?” (Revelation 6:17, NKJV).
Prior to the end, the gospel is carried to every nation on earth (Matthew 24:14), and the three angels’ messages are delivered to the entire planet. And yet, there will be people who are caught off guard—not for lack of information but because of their refusal to believe and to obey. This will be the reason that such people are lost in the last days.
Jesus points to the story of the Flood to warn us that His second coming will come as a surprise to many. As with the Second Coming, the Flood did not come as a surprise to the world because of a lack of information. Noah preached for 120 years to a world that refused to believe. All were told what was going to happen. They just didn’t believe.

Meanwhile, many people assure themselves that the passage of long periods of time means that the prophecies are false. Using the Flood story as context, Peter writes “that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, and saying, ‘Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation’ ” (2 Peter 3:3-4, NKJV). As each year passes, this sentiment will only grow.

In each person’s own experience, the second coming of Jesus (or in some cases, the third coming) is never more than a moment after death, and we all know how quickly life goes by. How might this perspective help us deal with the “delay”? |

Not long ago I talked to a woman who had suffered a lot growing up as a Seventh-day Adventist. The abuse wasn’t physical. It was spiritual. She was one of those people (I am another) whose parents and teachers drilled down on all the awful things that were about to happen to Adventists: persecution, our […] Source: https://atoday.org/editorial-ptsda/
