PART TWO:The Rapture. What?

Posted on November 14, 2025 by ahumblestudent

Don’t you love how Paul calls the Rapture a “mystery”? Maybe hard to understand or explain, right? And yet there are many things in the Bible we can’t fully understand or explain, such as, the Trinity, God, Jesus Christ, the Church, lawlessness, eternity, Satan, etc. And because we cannot fully understand them or handle them yet, God directed they be called “mysteries.”

Yet some will still ask, “But where does the word ‘rapture’ come from? Is it even in the Bible?

YES! But in a little different form. So please let me repeat again: It is the Latin word, “rapturo,” which comes from the Greek New Testament word, “harpazo,” which means in the English, “caught up.”

Caught up = raptured = harpazoed = caught up.

A little history. When the Latin Vulgate Bible was translated into English, when they came across the word “rapturo” in I Thessalonians 4:17, they translated that word to, “caught up,” which is to be raptured.

The Latin word, “rapturo,” was translated from the Greek New Testament word, “harpazo,” in I Thessalonians 4:17.

Where? High up in the sky above the clouds where we will meet the Lord Jesus Himself.

When? At the appointed time by God, the Father sometime in the near future.

How? By the almighty power of God, Jesus Christ Himself.

Hence, the concept, the doctrine, the clear truth of the Rapture of the Church is taught right there in your Holy Bible.

Doesn’t that sound great? Doesn’t it give you great joy, hope and peace to know as believers you will be with all your family and friends in Heaven with the Lord at that soon and coming day? And especially, how great will it be that we will finally see Jesus as He is and be with Him forever?

This idea of being “caught up” (raptured) begs the question” are there any examples of people being raptured in the Bible? YES!

The Bible tells us there are at least six people who were raptured or caught up or taken up to Heaven:

Enoch in Genesis 5:21-24…Enoch never died for he was taken up to Heaven by God.

Elijah in 2 Kings 2:10-11…Elijah never died for he was taken up to Heaven.

Jesus Christ in Mark 16:19; Luke 24:49-52 and Acts 1:6-11…Jesus died, was resurrected, and ascended to Heaven.

Phillip in Acts 8:39-40…Phillip was transported by the Holy Spirit from one place to another (that’s another meaning of Rapture: being transported by God from one place to another-we shall be transported from earth to Heaven).

Paul in 2 Corinthians 12:2-4…Paul was “caught up” to the third Heaven and returned and died later.

John in Revelation 4:1-2…John was called up to Heaven, returned and died later.

And let me add these other examples for more insights. There will be the “Two Witnesses” in the Revelation, chapter 11 during the future seven year Tribulation which is to come upon the whole world after the Rapture of the Church! These two witnesses will be killed, brought back to life, and taken up to Heaven (Raptured) while the world watches in amazement!

Some Bible scholars believe Isaiah and Ezekiel were taken up to Heaven for a time and returned.

Some branches of Christianity believe Mary, the mother of Jesus was taken up to Heaven to be with her Son. And there are some who believe the body of Moses was raptured to Heaven also.

I don’t know, but I do know that at the Transfiguration of Jesus as recorded in Matthew, chapter 17, Moses and Elijah appeared in glory beside Jesus while Peter, James and John looked on.

We know Elijah was taken up, raptured to Heaven as 2 Kings 2:9-10 tell us, right? But why was Moses there in a glorified body just like that of Elijah and Jesus? Moses died like all men die, for Deuteronomy 34:5-6 says:

“So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, over against Bethpoer: but no man knows of his sepulcher unto this day.”

Shouldn’t that have been Enoch, the very first person who was raptured and never died?

Genesis 5:24, “And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.”

Well, I believe that Elijah represents the saints who will be “translated” into glorified bodies at the Rapture; and Moses represents the dead saints who will be Resurrected to new, glorified bodies at the Rapture.

So, this mighty act by God of “bringing up” to Heaven people from the Earth, this Catching up, the snatching up, transporting people from one place to another is what the Rapture of the Church is all about. That’s what it is! It is not something newly invented as many Christians claim, but is as old as the New Testament itself and proclaimed boldly in Paul’s epistles.

It is the next greatest act of Jesus in God’s prophetic calendar to happen that Jesus will do as He promised. It can happen any day now as it is “imminent;” and this was the hope of the first century church. And the mystery of it all is how is God gonna do it and when will it happen?

WHAT?

Why, I’m talking about the raising of countless billions of dead believers who died in Christ, who are asleep in Christ over the past 20 centuries of human history in this, the “Church Age,” the “Age of Grace.” This event will be the resurrection of all dead and buried Christians.

And that will be followed by a brief moment of time, the immediate and instantaneous translation (changed) from mortal to immortal bodies suited for Heaven of countless billions of living believers all over the world who are Christ’s when He comes from Heaven, and we shall meet Him together in the air above the clouds. That’s where we are all going to meet Him first and then follow Him to Heaven.

Please understand that this is not the 2nd Coming where Christ returns bodily to earth to set up His kingdom and reign for a thousand years, but the first phase of the 2nd Coming = the Rapture.

If the doctrine of the Rapture of the Church were taught and preached in the majority of churches today, why nothing would stir up more hope, excitement or motivation to live for Christ than this! Lives would be changed; churches would grow. people would have a more profound hope, joy and peace.

“Whoever is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.” -Psalm 107:43.

THE RAPTURE? WHAT?

Posted on October 30, 2025 by ahumblestudent

(Part One)

It has been my experience that many Christians sometimes do not want to hear all the truth of God’s Holy Words as written in the Holy Bible! And if they hear it, they don’t believe it, or can’t be bothered!

I can’t make you believe what I present here, but I believe I have built a pretty good case. And whether you believe it or not, that’s up to you. Disbelief is not going to prevent the event from happening.

If Isaiah 53 is the stumbling block for the Jews, then 1 Thessalonians 4 is the stumbling block for Christians.

Such is often the case when one speaks of the Rapture of the Church.

Yet, what can be more important, more compelling than to know that Christ is coming back for His bride, the Church? And that includes you and me!

Really?

Yes, really. Anytime now.

It is my belief that when God, the Father calls the last person to be saved by faith in Christ Jesus by the Holy Spirit, then will Jesus come for His believers at the Rapture, and that will complete the Church Age, the Age of Grace that we currently live in. And thus 2,000 years of Church history will have been completed since its birth at Pentecost in Jerusalem of Judea in the year 33 A.D.

The idea of the Second Coming of Christ is His promise to “Rapture” His church, His true believers to Himself one day, that is, to meet Him in the air above the clouds and follow Him back to Heaven, IS, I Repeat, Is and always has been the Glorious Hope of the church. Like it or not, believe it or not, it is written in the Word of God in the Holy Bible. All God’s words is truth; He cannot lie; He cannot err.

To deny the Rapture is to deny the power of God! And to deny the power of God speaks of an unbelief in your faith.

And this truth of Scripture is set forth primarily in a Gospel (John) and two Epistles (1 Thessalonians and 1 Corinthians) by the two greatest Bible teachers of all time: Jesus and Paul.

And it is all about Jesus’s love for us and how He would carry out His plan to get us to Heaven after His death on the cross, His burial,. His resurrection from the dead, and His glorious Ascension: the mighty work He will do at the Rapture! As was His almighty power that created all things by His spoken word, so it will be at the Rapture when He shouts it to happen.

This future, prophetic, miraculous event is something only God can co and will do because it hasn’t happened yet, and because He said so, and because He promised, and He will do it! As it is written, all Scripture must be fulfilled.

But it was put in motion when Jesus spoke these words to His disciples during the Last Supper in the Upper Room in Jerusalem just before He was betrayed and sent to His death.

And in all the history of the world there was never anything about the Rapture until Jesus spoke those famous words as recorded in John 14:1-6.

There He gave them the very first words of a future Rapture when Jesus Himself would come back for them, and for all of us, and so answered Peter’s question about where was the Lord going?

His answer to Peter in chapter 13 sets the stage for what He was to tell them in chapter 14.

John 13:36…”Where I am going you cannot follow Me now, but you shall follow Me afterwards.” (The very first hint of the Rapture).

Next comes the first of the three pillars of the doctrine of the Rapture of the Church, His Church, His Bride!

It was at the Last Supper when He said to His disciples gathered there that one would betray Him and one would deny Him three times! And that was like a verbal bombshell that exploded in their midst, and they were highly upset!

Here then is what Jesus said to them (the first pillar of the Rapture) in John 14:1-6:

“Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions. If it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again (Second Coming, Rapture phase) and receive you to Myself (Rapture), so that where I am, there you may be also.”

“And where I go you know, and the way you know.”

“Thomas said to Him, Lord, we do not know where you are going, and how can we know the way?”

“Jesus said to him, “I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”

Don’t you see? None of us is bodily going up tp Heaven except by Jesus. That’s the way He made it to be before the foundation of the world, and that’s the way He’s gonna make it happen by His almighty power, one of these days.

The same idea of this future event was amplified by Paul in his Epistle to the Thessalonians (the Second Pillar of thew Rapture) in Chapter 4, verses 13-17:

“But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep (died), lest you sorrow as others who have no hope.

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.

For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep.

For the Lord Himself shall descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God.

And the dead in Christ will rise first.

Then we who. are alive and remain shall be ‘caught up’ (raptured) together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.

And thus we shall always be with the Lord.”

Someone said “rapture” wasn’t;’t in the Bible, but there it is right there in the two words, “caught up,” or “raptured” taken from the Latin word, “rapturo,” taken from the Greek, “harpazo” in the New Testament bibles.

This is the truth of the Rapture as clearly taught by Jesus and Paul. Grasp it!

Now comes the third pillar of the Rapture as found in 1 Corinthians 15:51-52 as Paul tells his church at Corinth what’s going to happen:

“Behold, I tell 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 trumpet.

For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.”

The KING Always Has One More Move

Posted on August 31, 2025 by ahumblestudent

Who is the KING of the Universe, the Sovereign KING of Heaven and Earth, and all things created by Him, seen and unseen? Who created the angels, the Heavenly Host? Don’t you know He created everything in just six, regular 24 hour days? God created everything perfect and working perfectly just as GOD created them? Who planned in the beginning an eternal salvation for all believers in GOD and His Son, Jesus Christ, and eternal damnation for all unbelievers? Just and only GOD, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. revealed in the New Testament at the Baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist, as the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit! He is the creator, susrtainer, planner, and revealer: the GOD of miracles and healing, of wonders and might, Who holds all things together and by His will everything works perfectly as in the day they were created! When He created human beings, He created the first two male and female beings. They were created adults, with intelligent and speaking and writing the first language-Hebrew! And also being able to reproduce to spread all over the earth! All creation, the grass, flowers, trees, the fish of the seas and the birds of the air, and all land animals were created adult with the ability to reproduce its kind, each with their own seed in them!

Imagine a great chess game between two evenly matched opponents. One represents Christianity, the other, Satan. And the game goes on for hours and hours… attack…counter…defend. One is sweating bullets; the other. a smug smile on his face. And then, just when it all looks grim, and Satan cried out, “Check-mate!” Game over! But just then, the cry went up, “NO!” You missed something: He didn’t see it, because “The King has one more move!” Whatever your circumstances in this life in our walk with God, no matter what, “THE KING ALWAYS HAS ONE MORE MOVE!”

All things belong to GOD, even Satan, the fallen Cherub, and all the fallen, evil, wicked angels he took with when he rebelled against God. Satan, the arch-deceiver of the nations and mankind, the murderer and inciter of any “bloodlust;” of deep lying there is no depth, and of stirring up of men to murder, rape. and torture the innocent, there is no bounds!

He and his bloodthirsty army of demons (fallen angels) are answerable to GOD, their Creator, and will be judged on day in the near future! Their eternal abode is the “Lake of Fire!” There he will be along with his son, the Antichrist, and the False Prophet, and all the evil, wicked human non-believers from the time of Adam and Eve to the time when Christ’s reign on earth will be complete after a thousand years have expired. But Hell will open wide its jaws for the Final rebellion led by Satan in one last futile attempt to destroy the Jewish people and their Messiah! Fire will come down from Heaven and destroy the forces of evil, and Satan will be cast alive into the Lake of Fire! Then Jesus Christ alone will judge all the dead unbelievers, who will be resurrected and cast into the Lake of Fire forever.

Then God will create the new Heaven and the new Earth, and the New Jerusalem which comes down from Heaven. and will be our new home for all eternity with God, the holy Father, and Son, and Holy Spirit.

So think about it, with all the evil and wickedness, confusion, deception, hatred, war, murder, bloodshed, persecution of Jews and Christians world-wide, and just when it seems Satan has won and things can’t get much worse, don’t you think that “THE KING HAS ONE MORE MOVE?”

When Cain slew his brother, the godly Abel, God raised up Seth, his replacement who would continue the “seed line” to the Messiah. The King had one more move!

When Satan and his demons had polluted the whole world with violence, wickedness, and bloodshed 24/7 so that 99.9999% of the human population at that time was so corrupt and their thoughts were on wickedness and violence all the time, it looked like Satan had won the day! But God had a remnant in the righteous Noah and his wife and their three sons. And GOD determined He would destroy everything on the earth by a Flood of water. To ensure a remnant of people and birds and animals would survive, God had Noah and his sons build a gigantic Ark that would carry them all to safety. And when the waters subsided, and God renovated the earth to sustain life, they left the Ark to repopulate the earth. Satan thought he’d won, but the King had one more move!

When Israel had left Egypt and Pharaoh thought he had them pinned in at the Red Sea, God divided the waters to stand still, and Israel crossed over on dry land to safety.. But when the army of Pharaoh followed in hot pursuit, God brought the waters down upon them and they all drowned in the Red Sea. Satan thought he had won that day, too.! But he didn’t count on one important thing: The King had one more move!

Fast forward a couple of thousands years to the time of Christ. Satan thought he had killed the Messiah on the Cross of Calvary. It sure looked that way as he gloated and wrung his hands together, congratulating himself for a job well done in stirring up the religious leaders of Israel to carry-out his dastardly plan. But what he didn’t know was that on the third day Christ Jesus would be resurrected from the dead to glory, and God’s plan of salvation was secure! You see, heSatan is a loser, and always will be! He still didn’t; know the rest of the story…Because;

“THE KING ALWAYS HAS ONE MORE MOVE!”

Glory to GOD in the highest. In Christ Jesus we have the victory!

In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Against Anti-Semitism

Posted on July 1, 2025 by ahumblestudent

The most ancient of all hatreds of any group of people is Anti-Semitism! This Satanic backed hatred does not target the peoples of the Arab nations in the Middle East, but rather one specific group only: the Jewish people! Just look at the world today. Neighboring nations surrounding Israel want to wipe them off the face of the map! College campus protests are chanting pro-Hamas-Palestinian hatred of the Jews, crying out, “From the River to the Sea!” meaning, the total extermination of all Jewish people, men, women, and children! When the terrible, horrific murdering Hamas attack upon thousands of innocent Jewish people occured on October 7, 2023, and the taking hostage of 200 more, instead of outrage and immediate demand for all hostages to be set free, instead, Anti-Semitic acts of violence ramped up 400-500% world-wide! And Christianity was mostly silent just as they were during the years of the NAZI Holocaust in Germany! You may deny it ever happened, but Gen. Eisenhower visited a death camp in 1945 and had it filmed and documented as proof against the times of denial that would come.

We are living in that age; We live in a time of great deception unleashed as never before by Satan himself through the work of his demons, his fallen angels!

Way back in the Holy Bible, in Genesis 3:15. after Eve and Adam had eaten of the fruit from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, which God had commanded them not to eat of or they would surely die, they listened to the Serpent (the Devil) instead of God. So He came down from Heaven to the Garden of Eden, and pronounced a curse on them, and said, “And I will put enmity between you and the women, and between your seed and her seed…” And so, from this point forward Satan has been trying to destroy the “Seed of the woman,” the Messiah and the Jewish people!

Enmity = hatred, violence, strife, war.

Something you should know. Genesis, chapter twelve through 50 tells us that Abram (Abraham) is the ‘father of the Jewish people’ through Isaac, Jacob (Israel) and the 12 tribes of Israel.

In Chapter 12:1-3, the Almighty GOD makes this promise to Abram and his future descendants:

The LORD had said to Abram, “Leave your country, your people and your father’s household and go to the land I will show you.

“And I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.

I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.”

Anti-Semitism will continue to persecute the Jews until Messiah Jesus returns to earth to set up His kingdom. Seven years will precede it. And now, during your lifetime, would you rather be blessed by God or cursed by Him.? How you treat the Jewish people will determine your fate for all eternity! .

Where do you stand today? I stand with Israel and the Jewish people!

“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May those who love you be secure. May there be peace within your walls and security within your citadels.”

Blessed be the name of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and blessed be the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit forever and ever,, in Jesus Christ’s name, Yeshua Messiah, Amen.

Knowing the Future, Part One

Posted on March 29, 2025 by ahumblestudent

No matter who you are or where you are, you really can know your future as to what GOD has planned! And the best place to be right now is in a love relationship with the Lord Jesus, the Son of God. The world is full of deceit and greed and evil and wickedness in all places! And no wonder, man still thinks he can rule as a king, having rejected the Prince of Peace, the One who is to come at the end of history: the KING OF KINGS AND THE LORD OF LORDS, who will rule with an iron scepter! Jesus Christ is His name and He was here once before, bur not as King but a prophet, a lowly servant, the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world, who was sacrificed on the cross of crucifixion in the year AD 33 on a hill overlooking Jerusalem and the Temple, in Judea. There He died, was buried in a tomb, and on the third day He rose again from the dead in His new, resurrected, glorified body. After being with His disciples and His mother and all the women who follower Him out of Galilee, eating and drinking and teaching them all the things to come, He then took His disciples to the Mount of Olives and there He was taken up to heaven through the clouds. As they were looking up, suddenly two men appeared in shinning white robes told them just as they have seen Jesus go up to heaven, so in the same manner will He return. They were told to go into Jerusalem and wait for the promise of God to come upon them, the Holy Spirit! This took place on Pentecost, and from this point forward the clock of the future started ticking, revealing how the future will play out from the beginning of the Church Age (the Age of Grace) forward into the 21st Century.

If you can get a timeline of events both past, present and future settled in your understanding, and if you can see it in your mind, you can know with truth and certainty, for it is all written in the Word of God, the Holy Bible! God used men, His chosen vessels to write exactly what He wanted written for all mankind. But the only way your timeline is going to work is by belief! You have to believe all that is written without doubt, or skepticism, or scoffing, or ridicule, or any other excuse man foments in his mind! JUST BELIEVE! And not only will you get the timeline of the future right, but it will change your life forever, even unto salvation! If you believe on the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, your choice as where you will spend eternity when you die is settled: you will be in Heaven with GOD forever, not in hell!

If you could take s roll of paper and stretch it out around the walls of your room, you would probably have enough space to construct your timeline. But that would have to include just about all the important events that happened in history, but that is not what w are going to do here. Instead, we will select key events spanning 6,000 plus years from the beginning to the future; and from that time to our time over sixty centuries have elapsed into the dust of history. So let’s get started.

Starting with GOD creating all things seen and unseen over 6,000 years ago (sorry, not millions), in six, regular 24 hour days, all things were created adult and all worked perfectly just as God made them. You have your first seven day week and time began. Then, 1,500 years forward and you have the Ark and the Flood that destroyed the whole earth by water save only those who were on the Ark: Noah and his family (eight people in all) and the animals and birds that would repopulate the earth after the Flood. They settled in the valley below the mountains of Ararat in Armenia, and Noah’s sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth and their wives had children and their children had children and they lived in the tribes of their fathers. Not long after, probably 200 years or so, they went south and scouted out the land between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in what is today Iraq. Instead of repopulating the earth as God had commanded, they instead chose to make bricks and build a city and a tower, the Tower of Babel! This would not stand, so God came down and confused their language so that everyone spoke in a different language and could not understand one another. That caused them to band together by languages and customs, and they began to spread out over the earth and founded new lands that became nations and kingdoms and cities, This was the beginning of nations and languages. From this point comes a chosen people by God-Israel through Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and from the great law giver, Moses to the time of Christ’s death, resurrection and ascension, about 4,000 years have elapsed! Mark that on your timeline and we will go forward from that point in history to the Church Age and great events that will happen afterwards.

A Herald Crying Out

Posted on December 31, 2024 by ahumblestudent

It has been given me in this age, the Church Age-the Age of Grace, whereby God, the Father is calling people everywhere by His Holy Spirit to His Son, Jesus Christ, to be a herald of His Word, proclaiming the most marvelous event to happen next in God’s prophetic calendar found exclusively in the Holy Bible in the New Testament!

The great event I am proclaiming, an event so near that the Holy Spirit has written to be “imminent,” will be a glorious day when Jesus comes out of Heaven to Earth, in the air above the clouds to receive His Church to be in Heaven with Him. This future one and only complete and great gathering of the Church saints by Christ is known in Scripture as the Rapture of the Church, the catching up or snatching up of the His Church as found in 1Thessalonians 4:17. Although you will not find the word “rapture ” here or anywhere else in the Bible, it’s truth, teaching, and doctrine is right there in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17, the most dominant Rapture passage in the entire Bible, where we read, especially verses 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 uo together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”

To get the idea of the Rapture as being one of the great doctrines of the Bible, let’s take as historical tour. The New Testament was originally written in Greek. That’s a fact! And the 1 Thessalonians passage of the Rapture in chapter 4, verse 17 is “harpazo” (to be caught up).” When the Greek New Testament was translated into Latin by saint Jerome in AD 383, known as the Vulgate Bible, when he came to the Rapture passage in 1 Thessalonians 4:17 to the Greek word “harpazo,” he translated it as “rapturo;” and from that word came the English “caught up,” or the Rapture! It’s all right there whether you believe it or not…it’s going to happen because God said it’s going to happen even as Jesus promised in John 14:1-6! Nothing has to happen before it to happen! That’s why it is “Imminent!”

In a word, this is the resurrection of the dead in Christ (those who sleep in Christ) and the translation of the living, that will happen in a moment, in a flash, in the “twinkling of an eye” when Christ Jesus gathers His Church on that soon and coming glorious Day!

Even so, come Lord Jesus.

In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Where Is Your God?

Posted on October 22, 2024 by ahumblestudent

Those who are doomed cry, “Where is your God? You say he is coming, but it’s been 2,000 years now and we still have not seen him! He is silent!”

But God is not silent, and one day soon He will shout and the dead and living believers of the past 2,000 years will be gathered up to Him above the clouds in an instant! Yet He has not been silent all these years, for He has been calling people everywhere to His Son, Jesus Christ by His Holy Spirit, right up to the time He has appointed when He shall “Shout” the command to come up to Him. And so shall we ever be with the Lord forever! Hallelujah! The silent call in the death of a believer is one by one by one. But in our great gathering at the Rapture, it is everyone-all together, at once, and quick, very quick, even before you can rub your eyes! And there He will be, and we shall see him as He is, and our family and our friends will be there, too, in glory in the air way above the clouds.

And at that time appointed by the Father in Heaven, the whole world will be amazed and stunned, not believing what just happened! But evil will explain it away and get on with their wicked ways against God, hating God and His people, deceiving and being deceived and worshipping the very demon gods that will destroy them! God gave them time to repent, and they would not! And their ending in eternity is the Lake of Fire where they will join Satan, and the Antichrist, the False Prophet, and the vast multitude of fallen, demon angels. That is their destiny; that’s where they all will be forever!

But GOD in His great love for us has made us to be with Him in eternity…forever and ever in the light of His presence, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, living forever in beauty untold or imagined in the new Heaven and Earth and the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of Heaven, made by God.

You can know your destiny and you can find it in the Holy Bible. How to get to Heaven, how to get to hell. You choose, for the time is at hand.

In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

To the Glory & Praise of GOD

Posted on August 31, 2024 by ahumblestudent

A man’s got to know the Big Picture! God, the Father, and the Son, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, the One and only God, the most blessed and holy Trinity-Triune GOD has revealed to mankind from the beginning who He is, what He has done, what He is doing, and what He will do in the future! Everything we need to know and the questions that have always been asked from the beginning of human history are all contained in the written word of God, the Holy Bible. In these sacred pages is God’s story from the beginning to the very end of all things from Creation to Salvation to Eternity set forth in GOD’S Plan of the Ages, from Genesis through Revelation!

Ever wonder how everything works? How the earth is just there in the darkness of space-held there in place by what force? How it is just the perfect distance from a star called the Sun as it travels around the Sun in one year…and this has been repeated with not one error year after year for the past 6,000 years! And what about that other great globe that hovers above the Earth, that revolves around the earth and is held there by some great force we call “gravity”? Where did this force come from and how is it sustained year after year? It doesn’t shoot out into space and it doesn’t come crashing to earth, but keeps its perfect distance as it always has right from the beginning, the very beginning when GOD created the heaven and the earth and all things seen and unseen in just six, 24 hour regular days by His Almighty power. He holds all things together and sustains all things by the power of His Word! Now, more than ever before one can begin to grasp this truth by seeing the pictures set back to earth by the Webb Telescope which display the incredible vastness of the universe, the beauty of the universe and the countless billions of galaxies made up of countless billions of stars and countless billions of planets and moons, there is no finding the end of it! And where might Heaven be then, GOD’S eternal home?

If we could take a comprehensive view of God’s great plan from eternity to eternity, how might we proceed? Well, per Louis T. Talbot, D.D., and his wonderful work, “GOD’S Plan of the Ages,” 1936 (Reprinted 1986). let’s begin with the past eternity, and revert to the time before there was a universe, before a planet was ever brought into existence, before even the angels were created. Into eternity past we find out those things that have neither beginning nor end: (1) The eternal God (2) the eternal Son (3) the eternal Spirit; and (4) the eternal Purpose. Namely, the Eternal Triune GOD: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. The Holy Trinity…with our finite minds, how can we understand how God can be three Persons, yet one God? As the story goes…”Some years ago a weak-minded boy, who was never known to utter a rational sentence, while on his death bed, looked up and spoke these amazing words:

“I see-I see-what do I see? There is One, and One in three; And the One in the middle-He died for me.”

All these things speak to the praise and glory of the Almighty and Eternal and Immortal and Creator and Sustainer God, who’s plan of Salvation rests in His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, for the pinnacle of His creation, man and women, made in the image and likeness of God, but who sinned and needed a Redeemer to pay for his sins, and that in faith-in true belief in Jesus Christ’s atoning death for our sins, in true repentance, we have forgiveness and eternal life with God forever!

To the great praise and glory to God for His wonderful, magnificent, stupendous, marvelous universe, the earth, the sun, the moon and the stars, nothing can compare with His great, great, great love for us in Christ Jesus for our salvation and eternal life with Him forever and ever…this be to the Praise and Glory to God, and forever more.

In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

The Glorious Love of God

Posted on June 26, 2024 by ahumblestudent

As a Christian, what can we say about this year? To the world of man, Christians and Jews are despised. Yet you should not be surprised, when all the world despises you; for the world despised the Son of God, and He has been raised up! The enemy of our faith has raised up false teachers who were born to be deceivers and themselves are being deceived! For what seems like the end days of the Church Age, the Age of Grace whereby God, the Father is calling people everywhere, both Jews and Gentiles by the Holy Spirit to His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. To the end for the forgiveness of sins in true repentance unto eternal life with GOD forever! All that come to Jesus in faith will never be lost. Jesus died on the cross for our sins, and that believing, we have become the children of God and to one day reign with Him. With all the confusion in the world, can it get worse? My answer? Yes, much, much worse! All things must play out as written in the prophetic Word of the Holy Bible! Read the Revelation of Jesus Christ. There is coming a future seven year period as never before in all the history of the world! At the end of this period known as the Great Tribulation, when judgments rain down from Heaven, when demonic activity abounds as never before, when Satan shall reign through his son, the Antichrist, when the False Prophet shall work lying and deceiving miracles, when two great wars shall try to obliterate Israel, and finally, in this super condensed time, the nations of the world shall gather to try and destroy the remnant of Israel once and for all. And at this great battle of the LORD, Armageddon, Jesus Christ shall come in the clouds in great glory with his armies following Him; the Messiah, the KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. And He shall destroy all the wicked armies assembled there at Bozrath with the Sword of His mouth, and call the birds of the air to come to the supper to devour the flesh of men and horses! The Antichrist and the False Prophet shall be cast alive into the Lake of Fire forever; Satan will be chained and bound in the Pit for a thousand years. And King Jesus shall reign in Jerusalem for a thousand years, and so shall we.

But God had planned something special for His believing Church. You see, before the Time of Jacob’s Trouble, known also as the Great Tribulation, that future seven year period I mentioned can start, Jesus Christ will come out of Heaven and call His Church to Himself, in the air above the clouds in a miraculous, loving, one-time only event as foretold in the Scriptures and known as the Rapture of the Church.

It will happen in an instant, in a flash, in the “twinkling of an eye.”” For the Apostle Paul tells us in I Thessalonians 4:13-17…

“But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep (dead), that you sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him.

For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

For the Lord himself shall descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet 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.”

In this age of great mystery as we get closer and closer to the Rapture, shouldn’t we proclaim and teach as much as we can this most vital doctrine of the Glory and love of God in Christ Jesus for the ones He loves, His Church of the past twenty centuries? What do you say?

In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

What?

Posted on March 27, 2024 by ahumblestudent

Many Christians today just don’t realize that nothing would bring about unity, motivation and hope in the Church than the teaching-preaching of the 2nd Coming of Christ! And when I say that, I’m including all the prophetic events that are yet to come as the Holy Bible teaches! Things to come that must happen before our Lord Jesus returns.

Did you know according to Psalm 82, Jesus the Messiah sits at the head of His heavenly council with the “sons of God,” His holy angels? Since His mighty creation of Genesis, chapter one, there has been at least one session per century, and so sixty have concluded. And now He presides over the sixty-first. and for men’s reasoning, the 21st Century in the “Year of Our Lord.’

The Dialogue.

“Time is concluding,” He says, “when all things must come to pass as it is written! “And I want you to be ready for Heaven’s new arrivals.” ‘My Father and your God has appointed a day when He will call Me to Himself and shall say, “Son, go get My Church!”

Here’s what’s going to happen:

“Immediately I will descend from Heaven with Michael and the seven trumpet angels. And with the voice of the Archangel and the trumpet call of God, I will shout the command:

“COME UP HERE!”

Then the dead who sleep in Christ shall rise first with their souls intact, and glorified; then those who are alive and remain shall be translated-glorified, and together, “in the twinkling of an eye.” they shall be “caught up,” and ascend through the clouds and meet me in the air high above the clouds, and shall be with Me forever in Heaven.

Each angel was assigned a family. and together they surrounded the Throne of God and gave thanksgiving and praise and honor to God, the Father and to the Lamb of God. Love overflowed that day as in no other time in history!

And we sang: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God almighty who was, and is, and is to come! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”

Then God showed them the wonders of Creation, and His mighty works and deeds. And all around the Throne it was heard”. “Blessed are You, Lord God Almighty, who made us and appointed the time we would be born in history and where and what our lives were to be. Then we looked and saw the Lamb that was slain and the Lion of Judah! He had a scroll in His hand, and there was John with a book in his hand, too. As John wrote the future events of the Revelation of Jesus Christ, we saw the events as they were happening on earth. We saw massive armies gathered at a place in northern Israel, Armageddon! Then they, an uncountable number of soldiers moved on Jerusalem! We also saw the surviving Jewish people, God’s remnant, fleeing east towards the ancient city of Bozrah. The messianic Jews, millions of men, women, and children would be protected against the forces of Satan and his son, the Antichrist who seek their destruction once and for all. at the last 3 1/2 years of God’s Wrath poured out upon the whole earth, the Great Tribulation! He would protect them and nourish them in the fortified rock city of Petra. They would believe and call for Him, and He would come to their rescue.

“And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, “Hallelujah: for the Lord God omnipotent reigns. Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to Him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and His wife has made herself ready.”

“Blessed are they which are called to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.”

And then was heard Jesus proclaim:”‘My will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. You shall have bread and you will never thirst. My Kingdom is now come, and the Marriage Supper shall be for a thousand years.” Now, Prepare to mount up!”
