NOW! Don’t be thrown by this first subtitle, “No New Salvations.” This subject is still related to “Tribulation Saints” and what the Great Consummation message brings to this subject.
So, let’s press on.
(Excerpts, Excerpts, Excerpts from This Side of the Whirlwind)
Where else?
No New Salvations?
“Despair, you farmers, Wail, you vine growers, grieve for the wheat and the barley, because the harvest of the field has perished” (Joel 1:11).
The ministers of the gospel are the farmers and vine growers who will mourn and weep for the lost.
The wheat denotes the children of God, those who have received the gospel message but for whatever reason gave up before or during the Great Consummation.
Frankly, I’m not sure exactly what the barley represents so I’ll leave that for God to reveal in His perfect timing.
At the time of this harvest, all crops will and have failed and none were or will be saved.
One of the tragic misunderstandings in the Pre, Mid and Post-Tribulation teachings as well as the A-Millennial and Preteristic viewpoints is the idea of Tribulation Saints. Tribulation Saints as presented by these false doctrines represent those individuals, Lukewarm Christians and or secular peoples, who come to the knowledge of Jesus as Lord AFTER the Resurrection and Rapture of the Body of Christ has taken place. BAD doctrine!
Once again, these wrong minded teachings are the result of Christendom not having the entire message for the End Times. Remember, the Prophets Daniel and John were told by God to, “…Shut up the words and seal the book until the “Time of the End,” (Daniel 8:11-26; 12:4-9 and Revelation 10:1-7).
WE ARE the Tribulation Saints!
Those Christians living in the Latter Days “right now” will be the Tribulation Saints. Continue reading →
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. Continue reading →
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;Continue reading →
How about a question? What is the 2nd half of Christ’s Covenant?
Here’s the “simple” answer. The 2nd 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. Continue reading →
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;
And these who knew not Jesus as their Savior said to the mountains and rocks…
Fall on us,
Hide us from the face of him that sits on the throne,
And from the Wrath of the Lamb:
For the Great Day of His Wrath is come;
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?
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.
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, Continue reading →
