Revelation |
Again the Lord's Warnings to be on Guard. MG 32 Now learn
a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and puts forth
leaves, you know that summer is nigh: MG 34 Verily I
say unto you: This (That) generation shall not pass, until all these things be
fulfilled.
No doubt there are those who will put their own prideful spin on the Words
of Jesus Christ that will not pass away. Be careful. The Spirit of
Truth reveals that we are all liars that need to repent and look with faith to His
Mercy. God's
Mercy is ministered thought His Spirit of Grace Who is One within
the New Covenant Blood of His Son Jesus Christ; and the Word of Jesus Christ
says: Take and drink all of you: This is My Blood of the New Covenant
which is shed for many for the remission of sin. MG 36 But of that day and hour knows no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but My Father only. The Day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night. MG 37 But as
the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be. 2nd Thessalonians 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the Truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the Truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. MG 40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. MG 41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. R1st Corinthians 15:51 Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
1st Thessalonians 4: 14 For
if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which
sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him.
15 For this we say unto you by
the Word of the Lord, (See above Matthew 24 verse 40 thru 41)
that we which are alive and remain
unto the coming of the Lord shall not precede them which are asleep.
16 For
the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the
archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in
Christ shall rise first: Is not Paul talking to the Church/Ecclesia, concerning the Church/Ecclesia, and the timing of the Lord Christ's return during the tribulation? Consider Paul's words: "Then we which are alive and remain". Paul's words should be a dead give away as to those members of the church who are yet alive at the end of the great trial of the tribulation. Then those which remain alive, would be caught up in glory with the rest of the saints to be with the Lord forever more. There is a well known charismatic televangelist teacher of the prophetic that says he was persuaded against the mid or post-tribulation rapture because of Revelation 19 verse 14. He calls it the "U Turn Teaching". However on this point and the others in the book of Revelation, he misunderstands, that, its not that the saints are raptured up in the clouds of glory, only to do an about face, and return to do battle alongside of the King of kings. No! The Scripture in sequence reads: And the armies which were in heaven followed Him (King of kings) upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. (See Revelation 19:11-16.) This prophesied event would appear to take place after the wedding feast for all of those that are called IN the Body of Christ Jesus and Love their Lord. (See Revelation 19:5-10.) Then it is after this blessed event of the marriage of the Lamb of God that John now sees the heavens are opened up and the Lord of Hosts is leading His armies to battle in the valley of Har-Megeddon. Twice the scriptures report the confirming Words of the Lord of Host: For whosoever shall be ashamed of Me and of My Words, of him shall the Son of Man be ashamed, when He shall come in the Glory of His Father's, and of the holy angels. (Mark 8:38.) Matthew 25 verse 31 and 32 also confirms the Word of Jesus concerning HIS army of angles that will be with Him: When the Son of Man shall come in His Glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then shall He sit upon the Throne of His Glory, and before Him shall be gathered all nations: And He shall separate them one from another as a shepherd divides His sheep from the goats. The Bride of Christ is not part of the armies (the holy angels) of the Lord, for the she is delivered from the wrath to come according to 1st Thessalonians 1:9-10. Although the Bride of Christ is of One Holy Spirit with Her Husband Yeshua/Jesus the Messiah yet she would be resting from her own works and enjoying the great peace that she has abiding within God's Holy Spirit within the Almighty's Eternal Kingdom of the Living. Eternity is timeless and not subject to a day in time, as when the Lord Christ will judge the wicked in the Almighty's creation of time. For again, it is the incarnate last Son of Adam/Man from the Seed of Ishshah/Woman, Who is coming forth to crush the head of all evil, Satan, for: When the Son of Man shall come in His Glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then shall He sit upon the Throne of His Glory: (See Matthew 25:30-32.) MG 42 Watch therefore: for you know not what hour your Lord doth come. MG 43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. MG 44 Therefore
be you also ready: for in such an hour as you think not the Son of Man cometh.
