Discuss Matthew 24 Page 75

Amen~

Mathew 24:36 and Acts 1:7, prepare yourself in holiness at all times.

Only God Himself, in JESUS, knows when the world will end! It is all said in Matthew 24. God bless him who suggested to me that I should read the whole of Matthew 24 and I have just read it! Jesus speaks of His second coming we know not when! The Mayans are not the prophets commissioned by God to tell the world that December 21 is the appointed time for Jesus's second coming! The end of the world can come at any time, thus we have to be prepared, repent from our sins, seek God's Divine Mercy through Jesus, pray for the Divine Mercy. This is a devotion taught or instructed by Jesus Himself to Sister Faustina, a Polish nun.

December 21 - 25, 2012

The Mayans certainly could not know the day or hour!

First of all when GOD talks about heaven, it means the outer space above the earth. This space is inhabited by unclean spirits. Job 25:5; Ephesians2:2. GOD has set a time in which He will cleanse the whole heaven by shaking it ( Isaiah 34:4; Revelation 6:12-13). The shaking of the heaven (pictured as a fig tree being violently shaken) is the coming war in heaven which will be fought by Archangel Michael and his angels against the devil and his angels, Revelation 12:7. The devil and his angels will lose this war and their heavenly places will be taken over by the angels. All these unclean spirits together with the devil will be cast down to the earth (and the stars of heaven fall to the earth), Revelation 12:9-13. This is the beginning of the great tribulation the earth and it will last 1260 days. Immediately after the tribulation the LORD Jesus shall return to the earth to finish off the devil and all his demons and remove all things that offend from the earth, Matthew 24:29-30 ; 13:40-43; Revelation 19:11-21. The Writer of Hebrews 12:26-27 described the shaking of the heavens and the earth as the way for GOD to remove the sinful and the unclean from both the heavens and the earth. That which cannot be shaken are the righteous and the holy, and these shall abide forever.

All of chapter 24 is prophetic in that Jesus is talking to his disciples (verse 3) and giving the signs or events that will come to pass before the second advent (coming) of him and his army ( Revelation 19:11-16). Items of note are:
1. Son of man is a term used by the Jews only (gentiles use the term son of God);
2. Verse 13 is a tribulation verse after the rapture;
3. Verse 14, this gospel is not the gospel we preach today (which is the gospel of the grace of God);
4. Verse 32 the fig tree is Israel (1948) is when they became their own state which you can liken to a tree budding. When you see trees beginning to bud you know summer is close;
5. The real significance of these signs is that they will all start and continue to increase in numbers and in intensity before the second coming of Christ, which we know that the rapture will happen 7 years earlier; which means the closer we get to the second coming of Christ, it is even closer for the rapture of the church.
As you watch the events in chapter 24 unfolding around the world these days you need to ask yourself, am I ready to come face to face with God almighty, which could happen at any moment? Examine yourself and see what faith are ye, II Corinthians 13:5.

We are so fortunate that God created us. We fell into sin and we deserve death. But God did not stop there. There was a plan of salvation and that is Jesus' death. Now our ABBA father wants to be with his people for eternity. Matthew 24 is giving us the signs of His return. We need to be vigilant to know all these signs so we could not be caught unaware and miss the whole event. Let us always read His word, follow His leading and develop a close personal relationship with Him NOW. Thank you Lord for this blessed HOPE. Come Lord Jesus, Come!

This is very powerful to read.

I think that the entire Bible is from God and God only. No human being can prove it otherwise. I am a dedicated Seventh Day Adventist and will be till I pass away. The Bible is trustworthy and true in every single way and I beleive in it with all my heart.

I pray and I stay where god needs me.

Matthew 24:10 (NLT) says, And many will turn away from me and betray and hate each other. The Lord said, as part of the end time signs, many that would turn away from following or believing in the Gospel, are those the Lord Himself, refers to in Matthew 13:19-22 (NLT) in other words, it is the persecution of all kinds that will force those who have not been reading their Bible and to know the things that are coming. For no sufficient word of God in their lives, they will turn back. Betrayal and hatred are common in the world; those who turn back from following the Lord Jesus Christ will do what those in the world are doing.

This is warning of a false rapture. The subject matter is the coming of Jesus. Jesus starts this by saying that "Many will come in His name; saying I am He." This is NOT saying that many will claim to be the messiah. It is saying that they were here to take us to Him. These would be the very devils controlling those who were preaching false doctrines concerning the timing of His return. We MUST remember, the subject being addressed by Jesus to His disciples, is the sign and the timing of His return to earth. This is why He strictly tells us NOT to go with those who will ultimately say they are here to take us to Him. These would be the very devils that came in the days of Noah and took the women and produced giants like Goliath. This is the correct interpretation of what Jesus was talking about when He warned us NOT to go with them! He then goes on to tell us we MUST wait for the sign of the Son of Man before His return. Matthew 24:29-31.

Brethern, it's our responsibility to preach the word in all the world. That's why God called us. The Bible says 'he that winneth souls is wise'. Soul winning is third duty for all christians.

The comming of Jahsuah/Jesus
The Sabbath and Winter are key to the times that the world has never seen.The truth of Gods word will be known to all.Right now we have different ideas as to what the truth is. The Sabbath and the correct day of worship will be a fact.Winter is not a good time for large numbers of people to move at one time,so if large numbers of people have to move out during winter time, many people will die. The sabbath is a day of rest, a holy day when the sprit of God moves upon his people to give them peace. There will be no peace, if large numbers of people have to move on that day. Technology will be of little use, so people will be looking for something to worship. This is where the flase Chirst will appeal to many. Only those who take God at his word will be standing.At the time that it is unbairable, Jahsuah will come for his people. This will happen very fast.Only Abba/ the father knows.

The greatest command for all of us is to WATCH
this is repeated throughout all the New Testament

Bebopp. Surely your words are of none else but of someone who never believed in or even understood the faith contained in the bible. I never liked the church much myself either. But if you read the bible where is the churched ever mentioned as an institution of gods law? Where does it say that you should act like or listen to priests? The bible surely is of god but the church surely is not. Some churches might be lead by men and women of faith, some congregations surely have faithful men and women in them. But some or even many might not have a true faithful soul in them. Just cause you go to church doesn't make you free from sin. Anyone who sins knows this. But true faith leads away from sin. Read 1john2 1john2 and 1john3 and understand the message. Understand that truth and gods command only can be found in your own heart. You shouldn't listen to the world, but to your heart, your soul, the spirit god has given you. Your heart knows whats right, so feel it. And only people that are of strong will and righteous character can be people of real faith. Read the following verses. Matthew 24:5, Matthew 7:22-23. Luke 21:8 Mark 13:6. Who do you think they speak of? What does your heart tell you in this matter? So follow your heart in truth and righteousness.

When reading verse 40 of Matt. 24 remember the subject is the return of Christ. Think of verse. 23 in Chapter 24 here is Christ or there He is, but believe it Not! Don't chase after Christ for when Christ returns we will know for Jerusalem will be flatten to dust. So the first one taken in that 23rd verse is running with the fake messiah antichrist. I heard a Preacher say he wanted to be the first one taken on T.V. taken into hell. Wow! Crazy man!

I see it sadly enough. Many who say Lord, LOrd, yet thier lives do not reflect him. The Elect seasoned Saints being led astray. We must Watch as well as Pray!

This is a wake up call! I am very disappointed that "Christians" have tucked their salvation experience in their pocket and gone off to become one of the guys in the world. When Christ promised eternal life he used verbs that were assuming the believer would stay on the path (you know, the straight and narrow one.)

If you buy a car and throw away the manual, not following the manufacturer's stipulations, you void your warraanty. How much more true is it in the case of our redeemer? I am speaking of the persons who really had a true conversion experience, were sorry for their sins and really meant it when they said they would follow Christ. However, following the conversion, we are still allowed access to the steering wheel. It's called free moral agency. Unfortunately, many with the real thing look left and right and like what they see in this world. We are instructed to be in the world and not of the world. That's not hard to understand. Is it?

Right now, so many believers have dropped their guard and this includes ministers and are in real danger of missing the reward they were once sure of and of course hell is the "default." Narrow is the way - and few there be that find it. Even so, come quickly Lord Jesus.

Matthew 24:36) “Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father.if he would be god wouldn.t he know when that day is??????
( Psalm 83:18) That people may know that you, whose name is Jehovah, You alone are the Most High over all the earth.
Matthew 22:37) He said to him: “‘You must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole mind.’
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. ( was he talking about himself????

RE: Cyntha Kolb's comment That is why Jehovahs Witnesses call on people. To find ones that really want to see from their own Bible what the truth is. The Bible is what we teach from and about. If you can please contact the local congregation and come and listen to all the wonderful truths found in the Bible.
As for the comment about Jesus being God please look in the Bible and you will see many times Jesus' own words that "The father is greater than I am" and that Jesus is identified as the firstborn of creation. Plus Matthew 24:3636 “Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father
Jesus as God's son doesnt know the hour therefore Jesus is not God.
Also when Jesus was baptised his Father spoke from heaven saying "This is my Son the beloved"
There are many more Scriptures that show us that Jesus is the Son and Jehovah is his Father and God.

Im from the truth movement, and after years of analysis of all the data emerging. I finally realized, that when you sum it all up, it points towards preparations, of some kind of an alien invasion. Matthew 24:15 The abomination standing in the holy place, the Vatican, will not be a normal human being. We will all see him/them, as part of a announcing media transmission. Here he will read another version of scripture, lets call it Babylonian, claiming it to be the genuine one. They will then force the closing down of the church, and begin persecute/kill all church remainders, and all remaining Christians. They will do that under their 3 and half years rule, and further 3 and a half years until the final battle of Armageddon. Finally i will let you in on a secret: The meaning of the number 144.000 is known in the highest teachings in Buddhism. Its the ancient symbolic number of conscious vibration behind matter in each second. So the number 144.000 is symbolic, and means who ever is still alive.

love Matthew,and the whole bible can"t get enough of jesus

you couldn't be more wrong..Satan comes first ..Christ is the last trump out,“Behold I show you a mystery we shall not all sleep but we shall all be changed. In a moment, in a twinkling of an eye, at the last trump, for the trumpet shall sound and the dead shall be raised incorruptible and we shall be changed. ( 1 Cor 15:51,52)Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and [by] our gathering together unto him, That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for [that day shall not come], except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

( 2Th 2:1-4)

Your conclusion is valid, and I also agree. I struggled over this verse also, and asked the Lord to open my eyes. Shortly thereafter, an eagle struck down a dove almost into my lap, fully intact and good to eat. I understood that the eagles shall feast upon the "carcase" of the fallen ones, and the eagles may very well include the ones caught up.

The 144000 is the translated ones, without tasting death,(Henockh/Elijah type). Who are they? The are the fist fruits for the Lamb, the spiritual Yisra-EL, that spreaded all aver the world.


Elijah was a type of the 144,000. We read in PK 227 that "Elijah was a type of the saints who will be living on the earth at the time of the second advent of Christ, and who will be 'changed, in a moment in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump' ( I Cor. 15:51, 52), without tasting of death. It was as a representative of those who shall be thus translated, that Elijah, near the close of Christ's earthly ministry, was permitted to stand with Moses by the side of the Saviour on the mount of transfiguration. . . And there also stood Elijah, representing those who at the close of earth's history will be changed from mortal to immortal, and be translated to heaven without seeing death." Concerning Moses we read: "Moses, representing those who will be raised from the dead at the time of the second advent. "- Ibid. Surely we cannot misunderstand these plain statements.

I believe Lord Jesus is telling us quite plainly here in verse 29-31 that after the tribulation we shall see the sign of His long awaited return.As confirmed in Luke 21:25-27 and Mark 13:24-27. I am preparing and expecting according to these verses to have to endure the Tribulation.

We have to be careful when reading Matthew because Jesus is speaking to the Jewish People as to the COMIING KINGDOM!.
He has not gone to the Cross so there is no Church at this time. The Chapter is a Prophesy of the End the of The Age and the Second coming. The Church is not there!
If you go to the book Revelation you will see the Church in Chapter 4. All those who belong to Jesus Christ are there and the Crowns and Raiment has been given to them at the Bema Seat. The Church Has a Different Garment=RAINMENT. When you read all those who are killed in the tribulation they are wearing another garment; Revelation: 6: 11 They are given WHITE ROBES. They have been given White Robes because of their TESTOMONY, and they are to rest awhile.
The Rapture does take place before the 7 year Tribulation and we are in Heaven around the throne watching the Seals being opened with the Beasts, and Ten Thousand times Ten Thousands of Angels. Also, we know the Church is gone because:
The Lord Has other Wittiness: the 144,000 Virgin Jewish. !2,000 from each Tribe of Israel during the first half of the Tribulation. The Second half the Lord Sends the TWO Wittiness.It could be Moses and Elijah, or Enoch?
There are also The Angels who go out and proclaim the Gospel of the Kingdom, Not the Gospel of Grace and the Cross. The Lord always has a Witness. Today we are the Witness to the Lost, to proclaim that Jesus died on the cross and Shed His blood for our SINS. AMEN1
There is so much more to learn and we must seek the Lord to teach us His word. My prayer always is: Lord show me your Word and Only Your Word and not what another says. He has been Faithful to me for all these 30 years.
Brother and sisters in the Lord, This is our Commission. Jesus said, Go into all the World and preach the Gospel! This is the True Church, all those who OVERCOME! We have very little time left so I encourage you all to fall in Love with Jesus and tell everyone that He came for them.
Thank you for the opportunity to say a few words.
