Where have all the Christians Gone?

(So you’ve missed the rapture

Welcome to the Tribulation)

1 Thes 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.

So you’ve missed the rapture.  Boy! are you in trouble!   I am glad I am not in your shoes and facing what you are about to face. So what are you going to do? 

As I see it you have two choices:

   Die following Jesus.

   Die in the judgments on Satan and his world system

Jesus offers you a  place in his kingdom in heaven.  There you will have pleasure greater than anything you have ever had on earth.  Satan offers you torment and terror.

If you are going to die.  It is better dying for Jesus than for Satan.  At least Jesus promises eternal life after you die.  All Satan offers you after you die is hell and eternal torment. You have been given a second chance to follow Jesus, but it will cost you your life!  But then you’re going to die anyway so the following Jesus is the best of the two choices you have. 

There are many reasons you do not go up in the rapture:

You were a lukewarm Christian

You were a nominal Christian

You were a disobedience and unrepentant Christian.

You would not forgive others.

You do not believe in Jesus

But basically you did not follow Jesus as Lord

How does one become your follower of Jesus.

First you must realize your need of Jesus

Secondly, you must want to be a follower of his.

Thirdly, you must can reach yourself to be his follower.

Lastly, you must do the work he requires of you and live as he requires of you

They are some things you must believe about him

He is God who came to as a human.

Was born of a virgin

Talk what God requires you.

Removed the barriers between you and God so you could relate to God.

Did everything that was necessary for you to enter into a salvation relationship with God.  Salvation is the relationship, which you to develop and mature through obedience to God out of love for God and wanting to be like him.

You are also required to admit to others  You are a Christian.  In the tribulation you are in this may mean automatically is being put to death.

How do you live as a Christian.

Your focus should be on Jesus and his purposes otherwise you will not be a follower of Jesus (Col 3:1-3).

You would express the character of who King and the kingdom in all you do (Jn 13:34-35, Gal 5:22-23).

Because of what the King has done for you, you offer yourself as a servant to your  King (1Cor 1:30, Rom 12:1-3).

You do the work of the King.  You preach, teach and demonstrate the kingdom and by this draw people to the kingdom and the King Jesus (Mark 16:17-18).

Your serving the King is empowered by the Holy Spirit and he guides you in all Ministry so that Jesus is seen and not you (1 Cor 1:17, Acts 1:8).

You seek to deepen the relationship with your King as well as be used by him to expand the King’s kingdom as all the King has for you depends on doing what he says (Mat 6:33).

You need to trust God’s love, click follow circumstances, purposes, plans and will for you as all you have comes from your King’s Love for you (Rom 8:28, Gen 50:20, Jer 29:11).

In what you about to go through dying would be a relief and and act of love by your King to deliver you from the horror and terror around you.

Because you love your King, you will tell others of what he has done for you and will do to you if they are willing to follow him (Mat 28:18-20). 

The King’s will for you will be your life.  You have disobeyed God which is why you missed the second coming and that your obedience now will result in your salvation.  Not only yours, but possibly those around you as a see your example of life and death (Rev 12:11).  You must then Jura to the end to ensure your salvation (Mat 10:22).

You need to be led in all things by the Holy Spirit.  If you would do the will of Jesus and be an adopted son and citizen of heaven  (Rom 8:14).

You must know the truths of Jesus to survive the attacks of Satan (Jn 8:32).  It is the truths of Jesus that reveals the deceit and lies of Satan that he would use to try and trap you.

Jesus said, anyone wanting to know his truths would be taught them and sent the Holy Spirit to do this (Jn7:17, Jn 16:13).

You must know your delegated authority ever Satan to defeat  his attacks and destroy his works (Mark 16:17-18).

You must believe it is worth serving Jesus and suffering what you are about to.  That he is a rewarder of those that serve him (Heb 11:16).

There are fence sitters or halfhearted followers.  Being one of those is what resulted in your being with behind.  You will need to change a lot of things.  If you want to be a true follower of Jesus and get to heaven.  The Main change will be in your attitudes to Jesus and the world.

You must you must prepare yourself for death, as that will definitely happen to you. As people see how you die, peacefully trusting God and his promises for what happens after death, they will see Jesus is really worth following.  Your death will bring glory to God and draw people to him, as it shows there is something after death, which is better than is offered by Satan in this world.  After all, you have shown it is worth dying for!

Don’t think about what you are going to say when you face those who are going to kill you.  There will be no previous experience for you to look back on.  The Holy Spirit will strengthen your faith and resolve as as well as guide you in what to say to defend Jesus and declare your faith in him even though you know you will die as a result of this (Luke 21:14-15).

But then, you really don’t have a choice.  You can stay with Satan and endure is the terrible times that are ahead Lord or and be with Jesus and avoid them.  To a bureau and pain now and eternal happiness or endure more pain and eternal torment.  The choice is yours.

What will the tribulation be like?

There will be disasters all over the place many will die of these disasters as well as a result of the slaughter of those who believe in God.  Christians and Muslims and Jews will be exterminated so that the only God we can remains is that of the liberal believers and their God will be the one Satan has placed in front of them.

It will be a place of fear and torment amongst those not in control and as Christians should have peace they will stand out from those who are followers of Satan and the Beast.

People will ask about the peace you have in the midst of all the evil and problems around you.  This is where you either declare Jesus and risk dying all reject him and end up living through hell that is going to occur and then after you die go to the real hell (Heb 6:6-8).

How will God provide for you?

Unless you have the mark of the beast you will not be able to buy and sell or pay for any electricity and water or rent and similar.  So how are you going to eat and have shelter?  This is where you must trust God to keep you until he asks you to die for him.

God will have people quietly help provide for you supernaturally.  After all, trust God, and nothing is impossible for him.  He had wild animals feed Elijah and can do the same for you.  Besides, there is no real alternative.  It is either Jesus or Satan.

As you trust God and you will see miracles of provisions, as well as miracles demonstrating the kingdom of God until you are remove through death.  You really will have no choice.  Follow Jesus and demonstrate the kingdom, facing possible death as you do this and each day  or continue in a lukewarm faith, which is why you originally did not go up in the rapture.

How to keep your salvation in the tribulation.

The only way to keep a salvation is complete obedience to Jesus so that you will be where he wants you to be to be able to protect you, provide for you and use you. Do not look at what is happening around you as that is orchestrated by Satan.  But look to Jesus and what he requires of you.  In that will be obedience and salvation.

Jesus said in revelation 3:5 that the people of Sardis would lose their salvation if they did not obey him.

So how do we obey Jesus?

We obey Jesus through obeying his commands.  He only gave one command, to love others as the loves them (Jn 13:34-35).

So how do we love others as he loved them?

We serve them as he served them.

So how did Jesus serve people?

He told them about the kingdom of God and what God has done for them.  But God had made it possible for them to enter into a personal relationship with him now and in heaven (evangelism).

They hindered the work of Satan, the enemy of God, and destroyed the works of Satan, where ever they found it (spiritual warfare).

They freed people from the damage Satan had done to them ( through deliverance and healing).

They defend their the name of Jesus, and his property and truths.  Even though it cost many their life, or caused them to be persecuted.

They did these things out of love and appreciation for what he had done for them.  They appreciated that their salvation cost him his death on the cross and out of love for him and what he has done they to are willing to die for him and the father in heaven

Once again I are remind you of the choices obeying Jesus and dying or obeying Satan.  And once the guy in I remind you that it was not doing the things which led to your being left behind when Jesus came back for his people.

So if you still want to follow Jesus and face certain death but obtain eternal life forever with Him in heaven then pray the following prayer.

Father, I approach You through Jesus and I thank you I am able to come into Your presence only because of what He did at Calvary. I forgive all who have offended me, including myself and repent of any bitterness, root of bitterness or other wrong attitudes I have towards myself or anyone else. Help me to do this please.

I do not want what Satan offers me.

I do not want his demons.

I want to do what Jesus wants and to give everything, past, present and future to Him as my Lord.

I am sorry for the things I have done wrong in my life,

And in future I will try to do only what Jesus wants me to do.

I know all guilt , shame and condemnation were dealt with at Calvary and all my sins were forgiven there so that all you ask me is to do is to reject the things of your enemy, Satan, and to wholeheartedly try and obey you. I am not perfect so I know I will fail you at times but all you ask is for me to turn away from these wrong things and to keep trying to obey you.

In Jesus name I declare every curse of any type was broken at Calvary and that every demon enforcing any has to go to the abyss in Jesus Name.

Satan you no longer have a right to work in any areas of my life as it has been given to Jesus, so in Jesus’ Name be gone to the abyss.

In Jesus’ Name I command complete healing and restoration of every part of myself damaged by Satan.

I ask for restoration and the healing of the heart of flesh given to all who follow Jesus wholeheartedly as well as the healing of the wounded spirit and the restoration of the sound mind.

I ask You, Jesus, to fill me afresh with The Holy Spirit to replace the demons that have gone as well as any vacant areas in my soul..

Thank you Father, Jesus and Holy Spirit.

Amen

The Following prayer removes much of what Satan placed on you when  you belonged to his kingdom.

Satan I declare at Calvary you were made captive and defeated by The Lord Jesus and now have no right to attack anyone even if they accept it so you are there under false pretences.

I claim the victory at Calvary as well as the authority delegated to me by Jesus and in Jesus’ Name I command that every demon in this person is to leave them and go to the Throne of Grace ,be judged and held captive

I declare that all the consequences of your actions against them are illegal and in Jesus’ name must be removed and taken by you to the Throne of Grace with you.

In Jesus’ name I command healing and restoration of all the damage the demons did to you and ask you Holy Spirit to take the place of the demons that have left.

I ask you Holy Spirit to show this person what they need to change in there lives.

Amen

How to Hear The Holy Spirit

It is important to be able to hear The Holy Spirit clearly s He is your guide to live as Jesus desires you to live and to fight Satan as Jesus desires you to fight Satan. Remember Rom. 8:14, that to be an adopted child of The Father you need to be led by The Holy Spirit.

Preparatory Prayer

Lord, I want to hear The Holy Spirit so I can do Your Will and be guided to be Your follower and son/daughter by adoption. I give this desire to You and am sorry for anything I have done wrong in this area.

In Jesus’ Name I command any demons that are blocking me from hearing and understanding the truths The Father, Jesus and The Holy Spirit want me to hear and understand to go immediately to the in Jesus’ Name to The Throne of God to be judged. I ask You, Holy Spirit, to take their place.

How You Hear Him

Unless The Holy Spirit or Satan actually appear to you, they can only talk to you in your mind. When they are speaking it is as if they are your own thoughts or that you are talking to yourself. People often mistake this for a disorder as if there are apparently two personalities in them when demons are speaking audibly in your mind. Also when The Holy Spirit is speaking, they usually think it is their own thoughts. So you need to know who is interacting with you.

If it is not our thoughts then it is either The Holy Spirit or Satan placing them there. You can actually hold a conversation with the Holy Spirit or the demons representing Satan and ask them questions and they will answer if appropriate. Only answers from The Holy Spirit are 100% truthful. Demons will answer in a way that furthers their purposes for you.

You will need to silence your mind. You may have trouble hearing Him (The Holy Spirit) especially if you are in a place full of distractions or in a place where Satan rules. Remember, The Holy Spirit, has a still, small (quiet) voice.

He will place an impression, picture, or thought in your mind, give you an emotion, or even speak to you in an audible voice. You will know it is from Him as it will not cause you to fear. He may speak in other ways than these, but these are the normal ways. You may feel a check in your spirit which is a ‘no’. If He does not reply it is also a ‘no’, so you ask Him the reason why He said no as He may tell you and you may find out more by this than by the answer you wanted.

The answer He gives will line up with The Bible, and you will have peace in your heart over it. Remember, God will not contradict His Word.

Remember that Satan will try and cause you doubt about what you are hearing then cause you to reason that it is wrong or impossible so that you believe you are not hearing correctly. He will also at times place fear or other wrong emotions in you to cause you to doubt God’s Love, Control, Plans or Purposes for you to take away your rust in God and your Joy in Him and His things He ha for you. At times Satan will block you hearing The Holy Spirit so you need to cast him out and stop him doing this and ask again. If you do not hear from The Holy Spirit, ask the following:

Are you in a place in which Satan rules so that the spiritual atmosphere is blocking The Holy Spirit?

Are you in sin and do you need to deal with it using the five points?

Are you to ask this particular question of The Holy Spirit?

If you do not get an answer, it may not be the time to ask

It may not be the time to receive the answer

It may not be an appropriate question to ask

Are you to command demons that are blocking you from hearing the Holy Spirit to leave in Jesus’ Name?

Do you really want to hear the answer?

Are you seriously listening or just going through the motions of listening

The Holy Spirit is your Companion in this life, so it is necessary to be in continual communication with Him as He helps you to navigate the traps of Satan and do the Will of God.

Our Delegated Authority

In Mark 16:17 we have  been given authority to cast out demons.  This casting out those attacking you, in you or through removing them destroying the works they are doing.

The Five Steps

Give the sin, area of moral weakness, circumstance, problem, event or situation to Jesus to be lord of, as well as all that led to the area, event etc as well as the consequence of this event(s).

Forgive all who have offended you including yourself, repent of unforgiveness, bitterness, root of bitterness, anger any wrong emotions or attitudes to others or yourself and also of any sins you are bringing to Jesus.  You may need to pray :”Lord I forgive. Help me to forgive”,

Command Satan to go in Jesus’ Name as he no longer has a right to these areas as they now belong to Jesus,

In Jesus Name command healing and restoration of all the damage Satan did to you,

Ask Jesus to send The Holy Spirit to fill you replacing all the demons that have left

When Tempted

Satan cannot make you do anything you do not agree to do. He has to deceive you into agreeing with what he wants you to do. So, the first line of defence is to reject what he offers. When you are attacked ask The Holy Spirit if you are being attacked from within you or outside of you. It attacked from within you then deliverance is needed. If attacked from outside of you then cast it out in Jesus’ Name to The Throne of God to be judged.

Most demons have names that are foreign to us so it would be nearly impossible to cast them out by their names. As long as we can identify them by their activity then we can cast them to in Jesus’ Name to The Throne of God to be judged

If you are attacked in an area often or have a weakness you are having trouble overcoming then you probably have a need for deliverance in that area.

When you are tempted and feel you need deliverance use the following framework of the five steps Jesus gave me (quoted previously)

If there is no need for deliverance then tell any demon attacking you that you belong to Jesus and to go to in Jesus’ Name to The Throne of God to be judged and ask The Holy Spirit to take their place.

Any emotion, altitude or feeling that is negative is not from God but is either a suggestion from a demon or a demon playing on hurts reactions (habits) in you.

Accordingly you will either cast out a demon from inside you using the five steps or command an external demon to leave using steps 3 to 5 of the five steps.

Whenever I get any wrong thought sensation, feeling or emotion, I command the demons behind it to leave and go to in Jesus’ Name to The Throne of God to be judged.

In summary:

If the thought is from God, you obey it.

If the thought is from you ensure it is given to God or dealt with as He tells you to. It may also be a need for deliverance in that area.

If the thought is from Satan, reject it after determining if either deliverance is needed (demons inside you) or just casting out of the demon is required (external demons attacking) then do what you need to cast Him to in Jesus’ Name to The Throne of God to be judged.

If the thought is external then the last three steps are only needed

The key is to take the thought, emotion or sensation captive to Jesus (2 Cor 10:5). In other words the demon placing the thought in your mind , sensation or emotion is cast to in Jesus’ Name to The Throne of God to b \e judged.

Just resisting the thought does nothing. It is capturing the source of it that removes the demon and the temptation.

To deal with any demonic rooms (nests) that were not removed by a deliverance session, give the area etc. (step 1) to Jesus, then do the remaining four steps. You may need to ask The Holy Spirit what to give to Jesus as what is happening may be completely different to the original cause of it.

If you give the area etc, all the events leading to it and all the consequences of it to Jesus you should also catch the root cause. Sometimes a specific event may need to be repented of and if you cannot hear what it is from The Holy Spirit then find someone who can. But first attack Satan and stop him blocking you and see if that allows you to hear what you need to repent of. It is does not then seek these people.

How does Satan attack?

Satan attacks you by placing thoughts in your mind, emotions on your personality or feelings/sensations in your body. He also tries to deceive you from the truth of a situation or distract you from what Jesus wants you to do.

Thoughts

Satan will try to tell you things are different to what they really are. He has to make you accept his lies so he can use you for his purposes or hinder your being used by Jesus. He has to convince you that something you have, you really do not have or something you really do not have, you have. If you are sane, he may suggest you have mental problems etc. He will often suggest the opposite of what you are in the hope you believe him and he can then mould your thinking as he wants too.

If you are saved he will throw thoughts into your mind that question that to the stage you will wonder if you are saved. If you have been given a God given ministry he will make you question that it is the correct on until you look elsewhere for the ministry he suggests you should have. If you are sane he may try and get you to believe you are mentally unstable etc.

He places emotions on you like sensual pleasure to try and get you to sin either sexually or other sensual ways or distract you from the self-control God wants you to have so that you sin and like the pleasures he has given you more than what God wants you to do.

He can place moods on you like fear, anxiety and depression so that you do not have the joy of God and wonder what is wrong with you that you have these things for no apparent reason.

Remember, Satan does things subtly and will use doubt about things, especially the things of God to have you start to question the truths of God. If he can get you to do that he can then either use you or hinder your walk with Jesus.

He has to have you think a certain way so he can use it for his purposes and uses all he can to do this. This is why when you have anything negative in your mind you are to cast it toin Jesus’ Name to The Throne of God to be judged

Regulations that limit Satan

This is based on the binding and loosing Jesus spoke about:

Mat 16: 19  And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

We are guided to make regulations are made against the work of demons on earth.  When they are enforced demons have to do what the regulation says.  This is because they are captives and have no rights so can be dealt with summarily. ‘

The Holy Spirit will show you what regulations to make to be recorded in the annals of The Kingdom of God.

Anyone can make these regulation if The Holy Spirit tells you too.  Unless they are mandated by God they are ineffective as they are not His Will.

When you command one demon to go only one demon goes.  When you make a regulation then eery demon has to go as you do not need to be around to enforce or even be alive as it is in heaven and enforced by Jesus.

When attacked, unless I need deliverance in the area I command in Jesus’ Name for all the regulations in The Kingdom of God to be enforced on demons everywhere.

The format for a regulations is something like:

In Jesus Name I command a regulation to be written in the Annals of heaven for all time that any demon that... here list what you do not want them to do... Is to go to the Throne of God and be judged,

The Antichrist will have problems until the last Christian using the regulations is killed.

The False Messiah

Jesus will return from the sky so will the false messiah but the false one will do it first in the hope of deceiving the world.  There will be one major difference between these two.  Jesus will return with His clouds (angels and saints ) the false messiah will not be allowed to do this.

All Christians will be dead when Jesus returns so He will not return while you are so any messiah returning cannot be Jesus.

Why should a person desire heaven over hell?

Heaven

People have been taken to or have died and have come back from heaven.  They tell of a beautiful place where there is peace and happiness.  Where there is no more pain or suffering.  Where everything you will ever need is provided for you.

It is everything God has promised to those who follow Jesus and is worth dying for.

If God is God and Jesus his representative of page within it is worth dying as a follower of his just to obtain the promises he has made in regard to all those that follow him faithfully.

Hell

People have also been taken to handle or  have died and returned. 

they describe Satan’s world, hell, which is his to rule reveal and show exactly how much of a heartless and and cruel master he his.  They describe a place of fire and darkness and stench, where the bones of the people have holes in the from the action of worms on them and there are unspeakable tortures committed on them.

To see what Satan is like in this look at what Hitler did in World War II, Stalin did to the Russian people and the tortures of the Inquisition and middle ages.  In these you will see his true equality is.  His anger and vindictiveness, hatred, mercilessness, lovelessness, and the complete giving over to his lusts, and his desires.

I do not understand why anyone would not die for Jesus to gain all that God promised them, when the alternative is so terrible.

Final Comments on this section

In the few years you have left on earth, will be chaos, torment, fear, disasters and anything else God does to punish the kingdom of Satan and all those who follow him.  You’ll die at the hands of Satan most probably and you really have a choice: die for Jesus and go to heaven, what God does Satan and go to hell..

You know that Jesus is real and cannot deny that as all those who truly follow Him have been raptured and I with him in heaven.  You to would be there, if you had followed Jesus as he requires you to.  You have been given a second chance, although you will need to die to finalizes it and show you really do follow Jesus. 

The alternative is to reject Jesus and follow Satan, die anyway, and be cast into hell, have eternal torment instead of living in the pleasures of what Jesus offers you in heaven.

Your eternal fate is in your hands.  Remember, a man is not a fool  who’s gives up his life to obtains heaven and eternity.

The choice is yours.

The comings of Jesus

The Coming of Jesus that ends the Tribulation

This is the event that marks the physical establishment of the rule of The Kingdom of God on earth.  I am not interested in the timing but in the attitudes we should have to this event.

Because there is an indeterminate period after the seven year Tribulation called the Great Tribulation no knows when this will occur.  This is so even if they could work out the commencement date of the Tribulation.

Note that there are two events:

The first is His coming for those who have overcome the evil that is in the world and He meets these in the air (2 The 5:17).  This completes their deliverance physically from the Kingdom of Satan and his attacks on them.  The spiritual deliverance occurred at calvary.  The Lukewarm  Christians are left to face the beast and his mark and be sifted by the threat of death so that through their death in refusing to take the mark and in this obey Jesus, they will be saved.

While those taken up celebrate ‘The Marriage Feast of The Lamb’ those on earth must prove their allegiance to Jesus by dying for Him.  Because of their lukewarmness they would have little reward in heaven but by dying for Him at least they obtain the Martyr’s Crown.

The third return is when Jesus returns with His saints to reclaim the earth.  The earth is spoils of war resulting from His victory at Calvary so Satan and his kingdom are removed as they have no right to be on earth. 

The deception of the Antichrist

The Anti Christ  attempts to return in the same way Jesus does so that even the elect will worship him but Jesus has restrained his return so we can know it is not The Lord returning.

The way we will be able to tell the Antichrist descending as the false messiah is twofold:

There will not be the gathering of the saints in the air to meet Jesus (1 Thes. 4:17) and then to go and enjoy the Marriage feast of The Lamb)

There will not be the “clouds” (angels and saints) returning with Him  to rule with Him 1000 years.

The Antichrist cannot emulate the snatching away mentioned in Thessalonians nor is he allowed to return with his own version of the “clouds”.  Remember these two things in the days ahead or you will be deceived

What is the purpose of The Tribulation?

God uses the Tribulation to remove the security of the people in the kingdom of Satan in the hope they will repent.

Satan tries to rule as many as he can so he can take them with him to hell and if he cannot take them with him he tries to get them destroyed so Jesus will have no one on earth to rule when he comes back.  This is why The Father cuts short the Great Tribulation or there would possibly be no one left from this era for Jesus to rule.

It will be tough in the Tribulation so better go with the Christians to meet Him in the air and then attend the ‘Marriage Feast of the Lamb’ than to have to suffer through the Tribulation.

Note: the Gospel of The Kingdom is not preached to the ends of the world before His first secret coming and then may not be preached to all the world before his return to rule for 1000 years.  The ‘end’ comes after it is preached to the world and that seems to fit more with the end of the Millennium and the destruction of the earth that marks the end of time and the influence of Satan on these.

Mat 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

Jesus desires us to be here to serve Him and represent Him or else He would have taken us home so to desire the second coming to leave the earth and all our problems is to desire something that is not His Will.  His will is to serve Him where He wants us to in the manner he wants us too.  To desire anything else is wrong.

He desires us to remain to proclaim His Kingdom and Deliverance so that many will come to Him and Glorify Him.  We are to do the King’s business till He says “enough” and then withdraws those that have overcome Satan and his system before putting the lukewarm church through the Tribulation to sift it as wheat before He then judges Satan’s system, then his demons then Satan himself.

If we have on your heart what Jesus has on His Heart we will long to see people drawn to Him and in a personal relationship with Him.  We would want it more than any pleasure we know or have.  Their eternal fate would be more important than any thing we desired as our King (Jesus) desires it and we should desire all He desires out of love for Him.

We would seek to spread the knowledge of Him and His salvation and not want to escape from the world of the enemy as we would see the joy and deliverance that would occur to those captive and persecuted by the enemy and freed from his influence.

The second coming is our great hope but it does not replace what Jesus wants us to do or it becomes an idol.  It completes our deliverance from Satan and his world system but then so does death.  This secret coming also involves the death of our body and the giving of a new better replacement body.  Flesh and blood cannot inherit the heavenly Kingdom so our flesh and blood dies.  So it is death but a special one as all who are overcomers also die at the same time and in this is it unique.  It is the uniqueness of this that makes the second coming special.  The sequence is as follows:

The secret coming when all who are overcomers of Satan’s world system are raised up to meet Him in the air

The marriage feast of the lamb while the Tribulation continues

The return of Jesus to rightfully claim the earth

The Millennium

The final revolt leading to the destruction of the earth by fire and the Last Judgment

The New heaven and Earth in the Kingdom of God (as it is no longer defiled by Satan and sin)

The Holy city on earth with Jesus in it to reign forever with us.

The second coming is the beginning of the events that will result in the end of this age.

The Effects of The Second Coming

Everything you have done or are going to do will become irrelevant as will all ownership and authority you have. What will be relevant is how you related to others and expressed God’s Love in these relationships.

You will be in the presence of Jesus with all its joys and pleasures.

Every area of your person will be completely healed.

How are you living – as if Jesus was returning in the next second?  And what are you living for?  Where is your treasure?  Sent ahead to heaven or stored on earth so you cannot take it to heaven with you or are you living in a lukewarm way and will miss the second coming of Jesus and face the wrath of God in THE Tribulation!

The Marriage Feast of The Lamb

The word ‘marriage’ means an act of marring something.  The act of marriage is sex that mars the woman’s virginity and then they live in matrimony as a married  (Marred) couple.  So what is marred by the Marriage feast of The Lamb?  And what follows it?

I do not know but hazard a guess that what is marred is the ability of Satan to damage or attack us and what follows is the relationship we have with Jesus forever as a companion of His in eternity.  But the Bible does not say.

The Secret Coming is our deliverance from Satan and his system and in that is our delight but even more the establishment of the Kingdom of God on earth should be our joy and delight, that our Lord finally has is rightful place as ruler of earth.  That the Kingdom of men has become the Kingdom of God at last!  Grace Mercy and Love will be the mark of the rulership of Jesus and all will be as it should be until Satan is released after a 1000 Years.

Even so! Come Lord Jesus

Establish your reign

in Righteousness, Love, Mercy and Grace

Amen

Rom 14:11 … each of us shall give account of himself to God.

On that day, when you face God and give account of your life, it will not matter what denomination you belong to; It will not matter what theories you have about the Bible, It will not matter what ‘good’ works you have done!

As you stand face to face, spiritually naked before the God of this universe, He will look at you and examine you to see what you have done with Jesus! That, and that alone determines your eternal fate!

You will be examined to see if you have the Spirit of Jesus in you as proof of your acceptance of Jesus.  As God sees His own Spirit in you because of your relationship with Jesus, He will welcome you to your eternal reward! But if He does not see the Spirit of Jesus in your spirit, then you will be ushered into eternal punishment.

The pleasure of earth will have no comparison with the pleasures of heaven and your wisdom will be of no benefit when you face God naked and alone because Jesus is not in you!

 (Heb 10:31) It is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

It will be useless then to rethink your values, as the scriptures say you are judged after death and do not have a second chance!

 (Heb 9:27) Just as everyone must die once and be judged,

Once you have died it is too late to change your mind about the existence of Jesus or Hell or doing the work of Jesus as He asks you to do. You will give an account to God of how you have lived as well as how your life related to Jesus! Those who believed in Jesus and did what He said, will pass the test – but only because Jesus declares to the judge that they are His and are no longer under judgment. Those who do not have Jesus, or only acknowledged Him, without actually doing what He said, will suffer the same punishment as the demons. The demons know Jesus exists and can see Him but do not obey Him.

 (James 2:19) You believe there is one God. Good! But the demons believe that, too, and they tremble with fear.

It does not matter what you know about Jesus! It is whether you come to Jesus and accept what He has done for you and obey Him, or whether you reject what He has done for you.  It will be an evaluation of how you served Him as a citizen of His Kingdom and related to Him.

Your attitudes, not only to Jesus, but also to His commandments will determine your eternal fate!

Are you ready to face the Judge

Jesus says He will soon be here to reward people according to the way they related to Him and obeyed Him!

 ((Rev 22:12) “Listen! I am coming soon! I will bring my reward with me, and I will repay each one of you for what you have done.

Are you ready?”

The Millennium

Why is the Millennium necessary?

For Jesus to condemn Satan for the way He ruled earth without showing He could rule it perfectly would be unfair to Satan.  Because Jesus will rule the Millennium perfectly He will have the right to judge Satan for the way he ruled the earth, especially when Satan tries to destroy all Jesus has built up in the Millennium when Satan is released from the Bottomless Pit (Rev 20:7-9.

In Conclusion

Those who have loved Jesus and followed Him as Lord will go to heaven

Those who are lukewarm may yet get there but it is doubtful as Jesus said He would spew them out of Hi mouth so there getting to heaven does not look promising.

Those who reject Jesus will go to hell

I say again the choice is yours and you will have no one else to blame where you end up in eternity and beyond!

…Even so, Come Lord Jesus
