Scripture points are shared, today, on Christians staying in readiness for the sudden appearing of Jesus Christ to harvest believers from the earth. The fighter at “Yahoo! Answers” using the ID “dodo” (Level 5 with 6,079 points, a member since November 19, 2014) posted the following:
If no christians know when jesus is coming back, why are they keep insisting that its happening soon? do you see the irony there?
THE GOLDEN ARROW: Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul. (Hebrews 10: 35-39, KJV)
THE DOUBLE DAGGER: About The End Of The World (08/30/2015); The Imminent Return of Christ? (07/19/2015); Becoming Ripe for Harvest? (07/03/2015); The Soon Return of Jesus? (01/05/2015); Sinless Until Advent? (11/05/2014); Holy Wars? (11/06/2014)
“dodo”, as though we were born spiritually blind, we now are all in a divine process whereby divinity grants foresight through divine law, promise, revelation, and spiritual vision. Rather than focus upon humor, irony, secular events, or the human predicament, Christian believers are directed to realize various sacred processes are going forward. The Advent or Second Coming of Jesus Christ is taught and received only through the Holy Spirit (also called the Comforter, the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of Prophecy, the Spirit of Truth). Believers are to endure the same life challenges as all others upon the earth, and are granted spirit content that ensures balance and patience. Included are faith, holiness, longsuffering, sacred knowledge, and wisdom. Christians must develop their ability to wait while having the excitement of things upon a cosmic scale, so that they may be without frenzy and hysteria. Believers are to commit themselves to no new messages, or further warnings from Christ; and the things already proclaimed will become actual and complete with great suddenness. The work of prophecy is to comfort, edify (build up), and exhort (urge to immediate action). Thus, here are some points from the holy writings that generate the necessary alertness, expectation, and readiness for the followers of the Lord to be harvested from the earth when Jesus returns:
(1.) Psalms 62: 5-8, King James Version (KJV): 5 My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him. 6 He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved. 7 In God is my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. 8 Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.
(2.) Isaiah 40: 26-31, KJV: 26 Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth. 27 Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over from my God. 28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. 29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. 30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall fall: 31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
(3.) Galatians 6: 7-10, KJV: 7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. 9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. 10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
(4.) Matthew 24: 24-27, KJV: 24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible they shall deceive the very elect. 25 Behold, I have told you before. 26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. 27 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.
(5.) Romans 8: 22-25, KJV: 22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travailed in pain together until now. 23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. 24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? 25 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
(6.) 2nd Peter 3: 9-12, KJV: 9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. 11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
There is far more to be said, correctly applied, and spiritually apprehended. (For example, (7.) Isaiah 25: 8-9, KJV: 8 He will swallow up death in victory: and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it. 9 And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.) Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according to your faith.
