WHAT IF YOU KNEW HOW MUCH TIME YOU HAD LEFT ON THIS EARTH...

What if you knew that you had 15 years left on this earth to live?

What would you do with your time?

What would you do differently? How would you prepare your family, friends, and new people that you meet?

What if you knew that after that 15 years an event would take place that would impact everyone you know in life in a negative way if they did not accept Jesus?

What would you tell them? How would you show them to prepare them for what is coming?

This is exactly what happened to King Hezekiah in 2 Kings 20. King Hezekiah was someone that faithfully followed God as leader of Israel. The only thing he did NOT do was tear down the high places set up to worship another god other than the One True God. He didn't worship there, but he allowed it to stay. He got really sick with a boil and the prophet Isaiah was sent to give him the message that he would not survive this illness and that he would die. After Isaiah left, King Hezekiah got up and facing the wall prayed, "God, you know that I have been faithful... please spare me." God sent Isaiah back to the King and told him that he would now recover and God was giving him 15 more years to live.

Then Hezekiah did something interesting. He invited a contingent of officials from Babylon to come and visit. He showed them everything: the treasury, the temple gold and silver, and his entire palace. He was quite proud. When Isaiah asked him who was there and what they wanted, Hezekiah told him. Isaiah's reply was that after King Hezekiah dies, Babylon will invade Israel, steal all of what Hezekiah showed them, and even capture the King's sons, taking them into exile and making them eunuchs. Hezekiah's response was, "This is great news." In King Hezekiah's mind, he thought, "at least it won't happen in my lifetime."

He had 15 years to prepare Israel. But he didn't do it. Israel was captured, many were killed, Israel was left in ruins, and Hezekiah's sons were exiled and made eunuchs.

If you had 15 years and you knew that the Tribulation was coming...

How would you prepare those in your life? Your family, friends, and people that you meet? Hopefully, you won't do what Hezekiah did and leave the problems coming to the next generation. Hopefully, we spend time preparing those in our lives for what is coming... Hopefully, we can lead them to Jesus.
