Look Up For Your Redemption Draws
Near!
There is much talk in The Church about the end of time, the Rapture, the Great Tribulation and the
current wars and political situation in Israel, America and the world. There
are many sermons and books about the time in which we live and the prophecies
about the End of Days and the Great Tribulation. Many of them are contradictory
to each other because there is much confusion of the order of and overlapping
of events as described in The Bible.
Luke 21:28 “Now when these things begin to happen, look up
and lift up your heads, because your Redemption draws near!”
Matthew 24:13 “But he who endures to the end shall be Saved!”
Matthew 24:44 “Therefore you also be ready, for The Son of
Man is coming at an hour you do not expect!”
JESUS told us many of the signs we should be watching for,
some of which have been happening since the tower of Babel; some of which have
not happened yet; some of which have been fulfilled and yet will be fulfilled again. Like the destruction
and desolation of the Temple in Jerusalem: it has happened three times; the
Chaldeans under Nebuchadnezzar, The Greeks, though it is not recorded in The
Bible and the Romans in 70 AD which is not recorded in The Bible. Yet it will
be desolated again by the antichrist! The Chaldeans and the Romans destroyed
Jerusalem, The Temple and desecrated the Temple; the Greeks only desecrated The
Temple; the antichrist will only desecrate The Temple.
But all the signs JESUS gave us in The Gospels and The
Revelation are to help us know the time in which we live so that we can Endure
and be Ready for His Return. There is too much teaching on the signs and not
enough on the Enduring! If we are keeping watch for His Return and are ready
for His Return then we will not be caught as if by a thief in the night (Luke
21:34-36). We have to endure the persecution of the End of Days, just as we
have to endure the persecution of the present day. During the Last Days it will
be harder, but that is only for seven years.
JESUS said the time would be cut short for the sake of the
Saints (Matthew 24:22); seven years is pretty short out of the almost 2000
since CHRIST was Crucified and Raised. The Church has been persecuted ever
since His Ascension and will be until the Seventh Trumpet. At the Seventh
Trumpet the Church will be raptured and the seven bowls (vials) of GOD’s Wrath
will be poured out on the nations, then the battle of Armageddon, then CHRIST
will take His Throne in Jerusalem and Reign for one thousand years. What a day
that will be! (Revelation 11:14-19; 14; 15; 16; 19)
By the modern calendar we are in the year 2024 - it has
changed since the first century AD and they have no idea when we reach 6000
years of humanities rule over the earth since they are confused about the
Beginning.
By the Hebrew calendar we are in the year 5785 – it has
changed since the first century AD, but they believe we have 215 more years of
humanities rule over the earth.
By the Essene calendar we are in the year 5950 – this is
original Hebrew calendar counting from Creation, which means we have 50 more
years of humanities rule over the earth.
What does all this mean? That is the mystery that is hidden
in the Scriptures that each of us who believe in JESUS CHRIST as The Son of GOD
Who was Crucified to take away our sins and Raised from the dead to Give us Eternal
Life have to find. Seek first The Kingdom of GOD and His Righteousness is more
than a promise about GOD meeting the needs of our physical life; it is the
command to search out GOD and His Plan for our life! Do a simple word search of
seek on your electronic Bible app, then obey.
The Bible tells us that every thought, word and action of our
life is recorded and will be reviewed at the Great White Throne Judgment, and we
will be judged accordingly.
Don’t be confused by those who teach that Christians will be
judged by CHRIST at the Bema Seat, not at The Great White Throne. The Bema Seat
of Judgment is The Great White Throne; JESUS and The Father are One, read
Revelation 20:11-15, understand how inclusive verses 12-13 are.
GOD is going to hold each and everyone of us; Redeemed and
not redeemed, heard about JESUS or did not hear about JESUS; accountable to how
we lived our life. It is our responsibility to seek GOD and learn of His Ways
and then Obey! We live in a time when almost every person in the world has
heard about JESUS and most of the world has access to The Bible in one form or
another. If you listen to what others say about GOD, JESUS, The HOLY SPIRIT and
The Bible, and they teach incorrect or falsely what the Bible says and what GOD
expects of you and you live your life according to that teaching; GOD will
judge them for that but He will also judge you because you did not take the
time to seek Him, to study His Word or listen to His SPIRIT. You could wind up
being like those in Matthew 7:21-23 or 1 Corinthians 3:11-15.
“Seek The LORD while I may be found…!” “You Seek first The
Kingdom of GOD and His Righteousness…!” Isaiah 55:6; Matthew 6:33; GOD The
Father and JESUS The CHRIST both have commanded us to seek them.
