Isaiah 7:14. "Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel."
This was His "coming" in the flesh, as human man. Yet His own received Him not!
John 1:1. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
John 1:14. "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth"
For all of whom argue that Jesus is not God, please know that the Three Divine Beings are the GODHEAD, as GOD, the Father, as GOD the Son, and GOD, as the Holy Spirit. A better explanation must wait until we can ask Jesus face to face!
This is most commonly accepted as His First Coming, that as a Babe.
THE 2ND COMING! NOT A "SECRET RAPTURE".
Revelation 1:7. "Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen."
Many fully believe in the "secret rapture" but this verse posses a big problem, agree? How can it be a secret, when every eye shall see Him? Including the Resurrection of those who pierced Him?
Psalms 104:3. "Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:"
Psalms 68:17. "The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place."
From the 3 verses, we can learn that His "Clouds", are His angels,
Revelation 5:11. "And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;"
How many angels are there? Well the 10k x10k gives1 billion & 10,000, plus 1,000's of K's , lets us understand that there will be enough to do the job!
Matthew 28:2-4. "And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men."
Please know, that the Temple's High Priests, feared His followers would steal His body, because Jesus Himself had said I will raise this Temple in three days, so they talked the Romans into putting a Centurion Guard before the tomb, that's 100 fighting men, who became as dead men!
Matthew 24:30-31. "And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other."
2 Thessalonians 1:7. "And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,"
Luke 9:26. "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 his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels."
Now I ask you reader. . .if . . .ONE ANGEL' s appearing can put 100 hardened Roman soldiers to be as dead men, what will millions be able to do, plus both God the Father, and God the Son, shall be with them, and where ever these Two are the Holy Spirit shall be with them also! All in their full GLORY! They shall out shine the very sun! {Still think this could be Secret?}
Revelation 5:11. "And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; "
Acts 1:11. "Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
THIS WILL ALSO BE AUDIBLE!
1 Thessalonians 4:16. "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:"
Would you agree, that of all the instruments, the trump- trumpet is by far the loudest?
Matthew 24:31. "And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other."
Who are the Elect? They are NOT those who dis-believe or reject Christ, agree?
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17."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: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord."
NOTE: "..the dead in Christ shall rise first..." does this not create a huge problem for all who teach & believe, die and go to heaven or hell? Remember the clouds are the mass of His angels.
NOTE: "...meet the Lord in the air..." Christ, at this time, does NOT put His feet on this earth, period! This is the why for...
Matthew 24:26-27. "Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be."
WHAT SHALL HAPPEN THEN? THE RIGHTEOUS.
1 Thessalonians 4:16. "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:"
If the dead that sleep in Christ, are the first to rise, does this mean there's a second resurrection? YES!
That of the wicked, 1,000 years latter!
Revelation 20:5-. " But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years."
1 Corinthians 15:50-53. "Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 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. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality."
The "Corruption and in-corruption" are the human physical and or mental shortcomings and errors, such as blindness, or toothless, or missing limbs, all shall be be made perfect! As for the immortality, well we shall receive a body just a Jesus has! What a promise, a glorious body for each in Jesus! How can we know? Read on!
Philippians 3:20-21. "For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself."
THE UNRIGHTEOUS.
Philippians 3:18. "For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:"
Matthew 13:49-50. "So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth"
Revelation 6:15-17. "And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?"
Do you Reader, think that these are very afraid of Jesus, as they ask the the mountains to fall on them? The very ones who think that killing you for not believing as they do, that they are doing God a service?
John 16:2. "They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service."
Matthew 24:30. "And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory."
Sorry but most I know shall be rejoicing, only those who have not a personal relationship with Jesus, shall be the ones in mourning, but only for a little while until the die, by the His brightness!
Jude 1:14-15 . "And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him."
Zephaniah 1:14-15. "The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly. That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness,"
2 Thessalonians 2:8. "And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:"
SO WHAT IS USED FOR THE IDEA OF A SECRET RAPTURE IDEAS?
Matthew 24:40-41. "Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left."
Hopefully, you now know that one taken is taken to be be with Jesus, the other' s left behind, to perish.CC.Mark 13:32-37. Luke 17:26-30
DISPENSATIONALISM: or the second chance Gospel. (As per the Jesuits)
This is a human invention, primarily to counter the Reformation, a belief that the Antichrist, will come after the Tribulations, being one view, another being that he's already been and gone in the man form named Antiochus 3rd who desecrated the Temple by the roasting of a pig, during the Greek occupation!
Neither being Biblical, in the slightest.
1 John 2:18-19. "Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us."
This is Paul writing and the US are all those in Christ by love & faith. But read with care, and those antichrists,. . ."they went out from us, but they were not of us..." these are those who set up their religions, the Strange Religions, for Rome! She with her Hell fires burning lost people forever, or her indulgences the prepaid for sins, praying to the dead, and whole host of other things not found in any Bible, not even their own! These DO NOT BELIEVE IN GOD'S WORD, EXCEPT AS IT SUITS THEM!
Hebrews 9:27 . "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:"
Isaiah 55:7. "Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon."
No person's sins are so big, or so many that God can't forgive and Christ has already paid this debt in full!
2 Thessalonians 1:6-7. "Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,"
Some may ask, "Why does God allow evil men to exist"? Well for one He want all to come to full and honest repentance, and none to be lost.
Matthew 13:30. "Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn"
God's angels will pluck up the tares.
MANY ARE TAUGHT & WANT TO BELIEVE THAT NONE SHALL GO THROUGH THE TRIBULATIONS, HENCE THE SECRET RAPTURE BUT. . . did the Children of Israel get raptured away from all the Plaques, or where they left in place but fully protected from all these events, by God' s hand?
Revelation 7:13-14. "And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb."
Isaiah 25:9. "And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation."
SIGNS OF HIS COMING.
MATT. 24-- MR. 13.. LK 21
Matthew 24:2-3. "And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?"
This is known as a typology, being the ending of Judah and Jerusalem, ion 70A.D.,so shall the earth's surfaces be uprooted and leveled of all human made stuff.
Zephaniah 1:14-16. "The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly. That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers."
THAT DAY, GREAT DAY, DAY OF THE LORD, all are the same time framed day, of the Second Coming of our Lord!
Luke 21:25-26. "And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men' s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken."
Matthew 24:7. "For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places"
Please know, the word Nation, in the Greek is ethnos, meaning ethnic peoples, shall rise up against each other, and within kingdoms even while kingdoms fight! Just look at earth' s famines, and pestilences, Spanish Flue 1918-1920 killed 20 million, and how many have died from Aids, since 1980? Or Earthquakes with records in casualties, and numbers, as well as increases in Richter Scale numbers. Since 1990 more people killed to date 1/2012, then as known in history!
James 5:1. "Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten. Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days. Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth. Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter. Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you."
If Matthew 24:7, did not have any meaning to you, how about James, above, and what your local papers are reporting? On earth' s economies? HELLO?
2 Timothy 3:1-5. "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away."
Or have you seen or been hit by anyone of these spoken of in 2nd Timothy? Hopefully not anyone YOU know!
Isaiah 5:4-6. "What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes? And now go to; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; and break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down: And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor digged; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it."
God did everything for us, but with our free-will we humans for the vast numbers of us, turned our backs on Him, even embracing evolution, an idea whose ONLY purpose is to do away with God! Just as Satan always wanted
Revelation 11:18-19. "And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth. And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.
This is the closing o Probation, and Judgments are finished. Just look at all the natural fires in Spain Portugal, Greece, Texas, Arizona and California and Australia, in just the last few years!
Nahum 2:4. "The chariots shall rage in the streets, they shall justle one against another in the broad ways: they shall seem like torches, they shall run like the lightnings."
Please replace chariots with cars and trucks on earth's highways, near any city.
Revelation 16:15. "Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame."
Again, those who know His Word, will not be taken by surprise, as we all would be if a thief broke in our homes. You are not in the dark, knowledge wise are you?
1 Thessalonians 5:2-4. "For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief."
John 5:22. "For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:"
Why should be be joyful at this remark? Because, Jesus lived on earth, and went through much more than we ever will, so He knows what it is for us to deal with Satan & company. Yet Rome is busy removing Jesus with Mary!
Daniel 7:26. "But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end."
This is the Little horn power system, that shall be destroyed, this is the Church of Rome and all its' leaders, who have nothing,[ because they hold their traditions as higher than God' s Word], but Satan's displays of bleeding statues, ghostly apparitions, and astigmatic now on every continent on earth, for the first time!
Question: Why resort to hurting persons for the reputed cost of sins, by these astigmatic, sufferers? Did not Christ pay for all sins for all time at His Cross? YES or NO? So how are a few very human people pay this price?
And who but Satan would be able to do this horror?
Daniel 7:13-14. "I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed."
THIS IS PART ONE!
CONT; Part 2.
