It's Time

Letters to the Bride of Christ at the End of the Age

By Wayne Jacobsen

Overview


What if we're living within a decade of Jesus's return? Followers of Jesus have awaited that day since Jesus ascended into the clouds forty days after his resurrection. Whether he comes in the next ten years or 150 years, there will be a generation of Christ followers tasked with bearing witness to his light through the perilous times that precede his coming. They will need a love stronger than their own self-interest, a light greater than the lies of darkness, a resilient faith that is only strengthened in adverse circumstances, and an undeniable hope in a future of God's choosing. And if that will serve them well in those days, wouldn't it be worth living that way today.

Description


Wayne Jacobsen's It's Time! is a tender, urgent, and Spirit-infused call to the heart of every believer who dares to ask: What if Jesus is coming back sooner than we think—and are we living like it matters? In this moving collection of spiritual letters, Jacobsen writes not with fear or fanaticism, but with deep love and prophetic insight—guiding Christ's followers into readiness not just for His return, but for the kind of radiant, resilient faith needed in these final hours. Drawing from the imagery of the Bride of Christ, Jacobsen paints a portrait of a people set apart—longing not for escape, but for intimacy with the Bridegroom. His tone is pastoral and poetic, rooted in Scripture and overflowing with wisdom born of experience and prayer. As he walks the hills near his home and listens to the whisper of the Spirit, he passes on that whisper to us—reminding us of what it means to live faithfully in an age clouded by darkness and deception. This is not apocalyptic speculation. It's spiritual preparation. With honesty and clarity, Jacobsen reminds us that whether Christ returns in 10 years or 150, there must always be a generation willing to: □ Love beyond self-preservation □ Shine brighter than the lies of the age □ Walk in unshakable trust amid the shaking of nations □ Anchor hope not in outcomes, but in God's sovereign story What makes It's Time! so compelling is that it doesn't scream for attention—it sings. It calls quietly, yet powerfully, to the Bride of Christ to awaken, to prepare, and to live as though eternity is nearer than we think.
