Rv13

When Christ came at Christmas, the vast majority of the world had no clue that God's redemptive work had begun. God took on humanity and began the process of salvation for all, yet almost no one knew! The first Advent was humble and quiet.

It feels odd reading about "the beast" of Revelation 13 during Advent. My mind struggles to envision what the last days will actually be like. Will they be radically different from today? Will God be doing something supernatural again and most of the world have no clue that it is actually God doing it? Is that possible?

Jesus came the first Christmas in the most humble of ways. I don't believe His second coming will be anything like His first! People will still reject Him, yet no one will miss His final coming to earth.
