Who Can Learn?

Scripture supports itself!

Who can accurately learn and understand the message found in God’s Word?

Well, according to Isaiah 28:9–13 and Hebrews 5:12-14, God teaches and enlightens those who mature in the pursuit of His Word and His Will:

For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed into the image of his Son… (Romans 8:29 NIV)

So who will HE teach?

This Side of the Whirlwind: Climb High!

The Adventure and The Climb!

Don’t doubt God has a plan for your life. (Romans 8:29 “Them He did foreknow…)

More significantly, God has a plan for the entire Body of Christ and world as a whole (Revelation 17:17).

Sometimes unpleasant circumstances take place before God’s purposes reach fruition (Genesis 15:13-16).

During such campaigns the saints can sometimes endure great struggles and persecution and even death for God knows the greater good and sometimes we are His tools.

The Second Half of Christ’s Covenant

Part 3

We left off with this contract between God and Humanity:

Behold, I set before you today a blessing and a curse;

• the blessing, if you obey the commandment of the LORD your God which I command you today;
• And the Curse (Judgment) if you do not obey the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you today. (Deuteronomy 11:26-28 NKJV)

Now, let’s look at the Split Versing of the Covenant of Jesus Christ.”  The two divisions of the contract or covenant can be seen in Isaiah 61:1 and 2.

First Half of the Covenant”

At the beginning of His ministry Jesus announced Himself the fulfillment of the Blessing’s Half of the Contract when He said Isaiah 61:1-2a was fulfilled by Him (Jesus).  He did this on the day He entered into His hometown Synagogue in Nazareth (Luke 4:14-21) and proclaimed Himself Israel’s Messiah.  Here is what He read, Isaiah 61:1-2a:

 “The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me, because the LORD has anointed Me to preach glad tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to bind up the brokenhearted; to proclaim liberty to the captives; and the opening of the prison to those who are bound;

How about another question?

Did you know — that as a Christian you are saved by the blood of the Lamb?  There is NO OTHER name under heaven by which you MUST be saved.

This is a True statement!!!

The majority of Christians would answer this question in the affirmative.

And it is true; we are saved by the blood of the Lamb;

Second half of Christ’s Covenant

Part-One

The Contract!

How about a question?  What is the 2^nd half of Christ’s Covenant?

Here’s the “simple” answer.  The 2^nd half of Christ’s Covenant is the Judgment half of Christ’s two-part Contract with humanity for Salvation.  Was that really a simple answer?  You’d have to decide for your self. 🙂

What contract — you might ask?

The two part contract between God and humanity which offers people Salvation.

The Whirlwind Comes: This Side of the Whirlwind

Prophecy, The End Times, The Great Consummation, The Great Tribulation

The Whirlwind of the Lord Comes!

Revelation 6:12–17 (KJV emphasis added) says,

And I beheld Jesus opening the sixth seal, and, lo, there were great earthquakes;

And the sun became black as sackcloth of hair,

And the moon became as blood;

And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casts her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.

And the heaven departed and rolled up as a scroll;

And every mountain and island moved out of their places.

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;

1. And these who knew not Jesus as their Savior said to the mountains and rocks…
2. Fall on us,
3. Hide us from the face of him that sits on the throne,
4. And from the Wrath of the Lamb:
5. For the Great Day of His Wrath is come;
6. Who shall be able to stand?

The Sixth Seal takes place in Revelation 6:12-17 but…

The opening of the Sixth Seal is also referenced in:

Matthew 24:27–31, Mark 13:24–27, Luke 21:25–28)

 

Written Below is an example of what you can expect:

An incredible quake shakes the earth as the sun, moon, and stars go dark.  The sky is devoid of light.

As the global earthquake subsides, a brilliant burst of light will shatter the darkness as it encompasses our world.

This brilliant luminescent display is the window of Christ’s coming!

Christ’s arrival splits the skies with a thunderous explosion of sound just as if it were lightning ripping through the heavens.

Which Way Will You Go?

Then everyone will hear the Trumpet of God as it resounds in the hearts and minds of everyone everywhere.

The voice of God will join or follow the Trump of God as Christ roars out over the skies of skies of the earth.

 

Every living soul will hear the Savior’s call; NONE are exempt… however, not everyone is a confessed friend of Jesus (Romans 10:9-11; John 15:14).

The Saints of God look up and begin to run towards their Savior.

This is the moment when the Rapture actually takes place with Jesus calling the saints of God skyward and to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb (Revelation 19:6-7).

True-Believers are gathered as the Children of God soar to the skies over all the earth.

Everyone everywhere will be able to see this mighty spectacle but too few will actually ascend to the heavens at that time.

Once the Saints of God have left the earth, God’s Wrath will shortly begin (Revelation chapters 7 and 8).

No Counterfeit Accepted

The magnificent nature of Christ’s return during the Rapture will authenticate its divine origin and establish the impossibility of any real counterfeit.

Unquestioningly the unfolding of biblical and prophetic events in the here and now will further support the accuracy of God’s Word during these last days of the Church Age or Time of the Gentiles.

Even as the world witnesses the physical gathering of the Saints over all the earth and the literal coming of Christ, shortly after the Rapture non-believers will stubbornly deny the existence of the One True God, YHWH.

• Though people everywhere will marvel over the calamities they have witnessed taking place during the Rapture…
• Non-believers will eventually deny the Rapture and obvious move of God as they ignore Biblical connections with the horrors befalling the world at that time.
• Even the Wrath of God will not bow the knees of the unrepentant.
• Millions upon millions will suffer God’s judgment but none will repent. [1]
• God’s Wrath and judgment are necessary components to the fulfillment of the Second Half of Christ’s Covenant (Isaiah 61:1-2; Daniel 9:24-27).
• The Biblical and supernatural events unfolding around the globe today are prophecies being fulfilled.
• Heedlessly, the remnant of humanity (those left behind) will simply not accept the reality of a Living God having dominion over all the earth and those who live on it.
• After a very short period following the Rapture the non-believing populous of the world will simply deny the Rapture ever took place.
• The secular world will invariably reject God’s inescapable, supernatural and obvious judgment on Mankind.
• People will claim the Rapture was some form of mass global hysteria and attribute all reports to natural origins.
• Before the one-year period of God’s Wrath is fulfilled, Man’s rebellious nature will have explained away every undeniable truth which revealed “God is” and then the LORD’s final and dreadful judgment will FALL!
• One year after the Rapture the Time of the Gentiles will come to its end.

Sadly, anyone left on earth following the Rapture will die in a sinful and rebellious state.

Prophetically, none left behind will repent (Joel 3:9–17, Zechariah 13:7–9, and 14:1–15; 2 Corinthians 15:50–53; 1 Thessalonians 4:13–5:9).

 

 

[1] Revelation 9:20–21; Revelation 16:9 and 11, “… The rest of men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not …”

Are you right with Jesus?

Do you have a personal relationship with our Savior?

Israel, God’s Not Finished Part 2

Okay, we left our last blog making the statement that “Even as the Body of Christ must be saved by faith and not by works so too must the nation of Israel be saved by faith and not because they are the sons of Abraham according to the flesh.[1]

• Remember, Ishmael was a son of Abraham and yet not a child of promise or salvation.”
• Ishmael (the first son of Abraham) is the father of the Arab nations and ultimately Islam today.

Israel, God’s Not Yet Finished

Thanks for the great question BG:

I believe every single promise to Israel has already been fulfilled. I read that somewhere. Joshua 21v 45… There failed not ought of any good thing which the Lord had spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass

We are delighted to receive this question/statement from BG today (the names haven’t really been changed because this is too much fun).  This question about Israel’s disposition before our Creator is a common misunderstanding especially for those of the Preteristic persuasion.

Isn’t it wonderful how fair and just is our God; still, He is GOD we serve a Creator Who is wholly and utterly GOD in all that implies.

Long before you or I came into existence our God, the Creator,

NO NEW SALVATIONs 2

So, with it in mind you’ve read the first installment of this blog:

Don’t jump off the proverbial cliff thinking the Great Consummation has begun and therefore salvation is no longer available… WE should know what to look for when it comes to the Great Tribulation of the Great Consummation beginning and therefore believing salvation is lost to ourselves or anyone else we would like to share the message of “Jesus”.

Here are a couple solid identifiers or conditions to Christ’s return:

2 Thessalonians 2:1–12, Verses and Commentary

No New Salvations

You know Jesus said in John 9:4-5:

Jesus said, “I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work. “As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”

So do you think the Son of God meant it when He said a time was coming when “NO ONE” could work?  What does that even mean?

I so glad you asked! 

A unique element bound to the Great Consummation and He Who Lets is the idea of no new salvations during the Great Tribulation period of the Great Consummation.

During this time frame when Jesus (who is the Restrainer) also known as “He Who Lets” is taken out of the way (taken off the face of the earth spiritually) humanity will no longer have access to that wonderful and amazing saving power of Jesus Christ.
