Romans 13:11-12 Part 1 of 2

And do this, understanding the present time: The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.

 

The hour has already come

1 Corinthians 7:29a  What I mean, brothers and sisters, is that the time is short.

1 Corinthians 10:11  These things happened (verses 1-10) to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the culmination of the ages has come.

James 5:8  You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord's coming is near.

1 Peter 4:7  The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray.

1 John 2:18  Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour. 

Revelation 22:10  Then he told me, "Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this scroll, because the time is near."

 

for you to wake up from your slumber 

Ephesians 5:14  This is why it is said: "Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you."

1 Thessalonians 5:5-6  You are all children of the light and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness. So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be awake and sober. 

 

The night is nearly over; the day is almost here 

Hebrews 10:24-25  And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another--and all the more as you see the Day approaching. 

1 John 2:8  Yet I am writing you a new command; its truth is seen in him and in you, because the darkness is passing and the true light is already shining.
