To the followers of Christ: Jesus made it clear that he came to die by being lifted from the earth so that all men would be drawn to him. The people he was talking to were a little taken aback by what he was saying because they had heard that the Christ would be King forever and didn’t understand why he would die. During this conversation, God spoke; some heard thunder, but others thought that an angel spoke to him. 

Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again. John 12:28

I wonder if any of them heard the actual words spoken by God. Those who only heard thunder, were they unable to understand him because of their unbelief? 

Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes. John 12:30

Then Jesus tells them that the prince of this world would be cast out:

Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. John 12:31

The prince of this world is Satan. Now means now, but can also mean soon; does it mean 2000 years into the future? We must ask ourselves this question: Are we living in Satan’s little season? Could the timeframe we are told be completely off? 

More than ever before, we should listen to what Jesus said and walk in the light while we still can. 

Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them. John 12:35-36
