Are we ready for this?

Matthew 24:23-28 Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. See, I have told you beforehand. So, if they say to you, ‘Look, he is in the wilderness,’ do not go out. If they say, ‘Look, he is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. For as the lightning comes from the east and shines as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures will gather. As Jesus is describing His coming again in judgment, He clears up some misunderstanding about what it will be like. Rather than it being gradual, it will be sudden. Rather than it being a subversive sneaking around, it will be apparent for all to see. Rather than being limited in power, it will be total. There will be no place to hide, no time to reconsider, no excuses to muster. Are we ready for this?
