Question: Christ says as the lightning flashes from east to west so will it be in my coming.
For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.
Luke 17:24 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Matthew 24:27
What do you all think this means? What has the Holy Spirit reveal to you regarding all of this?
Do you think it is representing a Holy Religious War..which will come out from the East and flow towards the western countries? Would Be good to hear your thoughts concerning this.
Bella l don't think Matthew 24:27 was talking about religious wars, but simply the coming of our Lord Jesus. All who are alive when He returns will be able to see Him. And all the rest of humanity will see Him later, when they are resurrected.
REVELATION 16 12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon
the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the
way of the kings of the east might be prepared. 13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to thebattle of that great day of God Almighty. 16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongueArmageddon.
The above part of Revelation is the only war that will be against Israel. During this Time Jesus will appear and end the Great tribulation.
The Battle which the Bible talks about is the war against Israel. This war is called the battle of ARMAGEDDON. In this war almost all the nations of this world will participate. While this war will be progressing against Israel, than Jesus SUDDENLY will APPEAR, which is called ''the Second Coming''.
In the mids of this war against Israel, Jesus will APPEAR. In the END, God will Save Israel out of the hands of Satan. But for now Israel must battle each war without the help of GOD by FLESHLY WEAPONS. That is sad. But God knows why and also will eventually rescue them AFTER HIS Wrath is poured out in this world of Evil, which is called ''the Time of Great TRIBULATION'', that will be in the WHOLE WORLD.
Thank you Busani,but so far what info or revelations other than that has the Holy Spirit bestowed upon you about all of this? Is there more which you can share with us brother for the edification of the Body of Christ unto the Coming of Christ. Does anyone else have any more which they can add relating to this very important thing which we must know and understand unto his Coming into power?
Thank you for sharing these sister Irma So here are some certain signs which we must observe unto his coming into power. The preparation and drying up of the great river Euphrates. And that great final war which must take place..surely coming from the eastern nations towards the western nations. Surely these will be religious wars indeed..but there also is a rebellion which will take place as many still within this world will Fight against the Lord. It is said..at his coming into power..how many people will christ find still in the true faith. TRULLY TRULLY the divsions and The great falling away must continue to occur. Let's see what else the Holy Spirit can reveal as we seek to find.Thanks much! God bless
1 Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more.
2 For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus. 3 For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:
4 That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;
5 Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:
6 That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.
7 For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.
8 He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.
9 But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.
10 And indeed ye do it toward all the brethren which are in all Macedonia: but we beseech you, brethren, that ye increase more and more;
11 And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;
12 That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.
13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. ALL THOSE WHO HAVE DIED SINCE PAST IN CHRIST..HE WILL BRING INTO POWER WITH HIM INTO HIS GLORIOUS KINGDOM..Which will flow out from within us...as he lives within us all whom he has chosen and are called unto him in spirit.
15 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.
CHRIST JESUS(Yeshu-ah) IS THE LIVING WORD of God, WHO ALWAYS SPEAKS.LISTEN WELL AND HEAR HIM AS HE CALLS YOU and by his Spirit teaches and REVEALS much unto you his Body all things which you must come to Know and Understand..as this Body OF his is being fed continuously and edified unto our Full salvation.
6 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:
WHO WILL RISE UP FIRST???
17 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. We must ARISE to come together with him,to take down the PRINCE OF THE AIR out of his dark Kingdom..trully we will remain as ONE with Christ forever.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
The war is not between the eastern part and the western part. Satan is the cause of all wars here on earth. Satan loves to watch peoples making war with one another. But the Battle of ARMAGEDDON will be between SATAN against Israel(natural).
Satan will use the Western part more than the eastern part to war against Israel during the TIME of GREAT TRIBULATION. IN these times, Satan will make peace, through the Anti-Christ, with Israel. The History of Europe is a great example. The Anti-Christ will reside its central Power in Europe. SO, dont get fooled by no one. Anti-Christ is already active behind the scene to get control of Europe. And many parts of this world are already under conrol of the Anti-Christ.
First Satan will make false peace with Israel to get entrance to their REBUILT Temple. But the Temple is not built yet. This will be possible only in the TIMES when Satan will let them rebuilt it.
NOW the western part is peaceful with Israel because they have hold of power and financial resources to defend themself agains any threat of this world of evil. They are holding themself up by power and money and NOT by GODLY power. But there will come a time when even that will fail in the END. And than they will call upon the Lord for Help. But help will not come immediaty. Many will be killed and be destroyed, which Jesus HIMSELF had spoken about. MATTHEW 24 1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the TEMPLE: and His disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. 2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
The temple of Jerusalem was rebuilted many times. And you see that lots of stones are still left. This means that it wil be built up one more time in the Time of Great Tribulation. And than Satan will sit as God and demand worshipping of the Israelites. Ofcourse they will refuse to bow down for Satan and than this will the LAST and FINAL destruction of the Temple of Jerusalem,which JESUS spoke of in Matthew 25.
Whatever happens, it will be all in the Plans of GOD, like HE spoke through His prophets and disciples. All that God spoke will be fulfilled in its own TIMES.
For now, we must expect RAPTURE or DEATH. Those things of the Future is not for our TIME. So, rest assure, the things happening right now are only the MINOR WRATH of GOD upon this world. The time has not come yet for the Anti-Christ to RULE this world OPENLY. Now it only controls the autoritive figures without exposing themself. But the followers of Jesus cannot be fooled. We know that SATAN is behind ALL EVIL here on earth. Humanbeings are only the vessels Satan uses to maintain his rebellion against GOD, the Creator of this world.
But we know how Satan will end, and how this world will end. Jesus already revealed it to John, who put it in writing, called in the bible as''REVELATION''. Nothing can remain hidden.
You mean between Satan and Jesus before Final Judgement and after Satan is loosed again from the bottomless pit???
This is something that will be worldwide and will lead to the destruction of this world with fire of above. Satan will gather many nations to make war against Jesus and His saints. And that will be the END of Satan ofcourse. Who can stand before the Living God, Jesus Christ and live? Only those whom are protected by HIS BLOOD. NO sinful being can remain existing before a HOLY GOD.
This is something that I still dont grasp yet how the Final day will be when the earth and heaven will be destroyed by FIRE.
2 Pet 3,7 But the heavens and the earth, which are NOW, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto FIRE against the day of judgment AND perdition of ungodly men.
This world will END by Fire of Above. That is the only way to CLEANSE it from all bloodshedding and impurity. Both Heaven and Earth will be destroyed by Fire. Fire will destroy all LIVING things. It will be like in the BIG FLOOD. Only those whom were in the Arc of Noah were SAVED. All living thing were destroyed by the Big Flood, accept nature itself. But fire will destroy also nature itself and God will start over again by the ones that are SAVED. Our body will be like the angels. So, no multiplication anymore of mankind after the END of this present world.
2 Pet 3,13 Nevertheless we, according to HIS PROMISE, look for NEW HEAVENS and a NEW EARTH, wherein dwelleth RIGHTEOUSNESS.
To accomplish this, God have to clean the WHOLE CREATION from ALL EVIL. When ALL EVIL BEINGS are all thrown in the LAKE of FIRE than God will CLEANSE CREATION by His FIRE.
In the NEW World, Heaven and Eearth will be no longer seperate from each other, but it will become as ONE WORLD. This is so amazing. God will live among humankind. All the creatures of Heaven and the Creatures of Earth will live together in the new World of GOD. God will be the SUN. No natural sun is needed anymore. There will be also no more Sea.
Rev 21 1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. 2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is WITH men, and HE will dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. 10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of HEAVEN from God,
To God be all the glory, our Creator and God, Jesus Christ.
