Please really check it out and ponder before you get mad at me,
These days leading up to his coming when you hear of "wars and rumors of wars and famines and .....all those things" be NOT
But it is when you hear "Peace and safety" Then sudden destruction of Gods people being taken in.
it is spiritual, it is war for the souls. He is coming doing miracles
How does he come in? Peacefully and prosperously
the tribulation is great for all those who don't know, or care or are deceived, PHYSICALLY. The ripping and shredding and dying and death are "of the souls of the children of God being ripped away from Him and they don't EVEN know it is happening, they think the real Christ has returned.
Think back. When Satan was with Jesus what did he want? When he was protecting the mercy seat, what did he want? When he will be standing in the temple what will he be claiming?
He wants to be God. If you are going to be worshipped like a God you have to act like one. That's the deception. He wants to be worshipped as God. He will proclaim he is God. He is going to fix the deadly wound. The whole world will "worship after him" He knows he has but a short time. He hates God and wants as many souls as he can get.
Oh! I'm mot mad at all.
If I am anything? It's more sad, and frankly disappointed.
There's a
lot more
to the "Temple of God", then the "Chief Cornerstone." (Jesus Christ) Called "Bethel", in the O.T. (House OF
God). As opposed to another house described in the O.T. called "Beth-Aven." (house of
nothing)
One cannot accept the "chief cornerstone", and fancy oneself, as having "built" the "whole" Temple. It don't work that way. There are a lot of "stones" involved.
Just as there is a lot of difference from one being "saved?" And, "inheritance."
Salvation? Is a
gift! The
Gift of the Holy Spirit? Reckon that's a
gift also. Hence the Name, eh?
Inheritance? Is NOT a gift! It is "earned!" And, this is the difference between being "saved", and being "Adopted."
Matthew 7
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Isaiah 28
9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts.
10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:
Which
is different then:
Matthew 7
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
Isaiah 28
13 But the word of the Lord was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
Just as there
is a difference between "eternal" and "everlasting."
But, to understand this? One must understand the
"war" that's been going on ever since the
attempted overthrow, which is what brought an end to the previous earth/heaven
age.
Many saved people believe this "war" is yet to come. Many adopted people know this "war" has been going on for a much MUCH longer period of time.
