In preperation, 'first'.. we need to stay aware of the fact that The Anti-Christ is coming before Jesus is! You can read (The Epistle of Jude).. it's the last book in King James just before Revelations. This is Peter talking about Faults Teachers.. which is what we need to be 'watching out for' as Gods People, to ensure that we are not fooled or misguided by the Enemy! First will be the Anti-Christ who MANY of us will be tricked into believing is The Son of God finally come! Revelation 13:11-18 There is also a clear Description of Satans Charactor and personality (if you will) in Ezekiel chapter 8. In the days of the Anti-Christ we will all need to be very careful not to believe his lies! It's said that even the most Scholared Bible Experts will be decieved by the Anti-Christ in these last days before God's return! Here are actual words God had with Satan written in the Bible for us to read.. Isiah 14:12, just to give you an idea of Satans Pride and his extreme measure of Idolitry! It will be Satans last desperate attempt to gather Gods People together to follow him, Before the return of The Lord, so He will do Everything he can possibly do to convince us that he is The Lord! We need to know who Satan is and how he opperates so we can STAY ON GUARD! God Bless Us All!
There are a lot of wonderful verses that tell us what we should do to Prepare for the Coming Of Jesus Christ. One of coarse is to be following the 10 Commandments.. and then Jesus left us with one last Commandment.. To Love our neighbor as we Love ourselves.. John 13:34,35. Something God Spoke back in Laviticus 19:18, but obviously had to be repeated and added as a Commandment. I'm quite sure the new Commandment has everything to do with Ephesians 6:12 ! Here are a few more verses you should find helpful with your question: 2nd Chronicles 7:14 *Psalm 34:11,22 *John 3:3 *John 6;44 As a Sister in Christ I think you should also read Proverbs 31: 10 thru 31. For and about a Woman, it is absolutely beautiful.
