The Second Coming of Jesus Christ

The second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ begins with the Rapture of the Church in the air, followed by the Great Tribulation, during which time also will occur the judgments at the judgment seat of Christ, which constitute the giving of rewards for good works, consummating in His coming to the earth in power and great glory; the elapsed time for these momentous events will be at least seven years, the period of Daniel’s seventieth week (Dan.9:27), which corresponds to the time of the Great Tribulation (Matt. 24:29,30).
1. The word Rapture is nowhere found in the Scripture; it is a word used to designate an event, and it comes from the root meaning “to be caught up.” The Rapture, Christ’s descent into the air to meet His caught-up Church, constituting every believer both living and dead, is the next event of divine prophecy to take place; there is no known prophecy yet unfulfilled between the present time and this tremendous event, mentioned my the apostle Paul in I Thessalonians 4:13-18.
2. Following the Rapture, Christ sets up His judgment seat, probably somewhere in the air, before which all His saints will appear one by one (Rom. 14:10; II Cor. 5. 5:9,10), for the judgment of their works, and the giving of promised rewards (I Cor. 3:11-15; 4:5). These will transpire in all probability during the seven years of the Great Tribulation on the earth.
3. After completion of the giving of His rewards, in Revelation 19:11-16, the Lord Jesus Christ is seen as He is leaving Heaven with His saints and angels, for the purpose of destroying His enemies, and setting up the kingdom of Heaven on the earth.
(Matt. 24; Isa. 2:12-21; 13:9-13; Zech. 2:10-13)
And so with power and great glory, Hew returns to the earth, establishing his throne, upon which He reigns, together with His saints for a thousand years (Rev. 20:4-6); after which the kingdom is turned over to God the Father.

Salvation

Salvation is the free gift of God to man by grace through faith, entirely aside from works:” For by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not your own doing, it is the gift of God - not because of works, lest any man should boast” (Eph. 2:8,9, R.S.V.; see also Rom. 3:27,28; 4:1-8; 6:23). The only condition of salvation is belief on the Lord Jesus Christ. “What must I do to be saved…Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved…” (Acts 16:30,31). First comes salvation, and then works (Eph. 2:9,10; Titus 3:5-8).
The salvation offered in this age of grace embodies every aspect of God’s grace, such as redemption, propitiation, justification, forgiveness, imputation, sanctification, glorification, and reconciliation.

Born Again - The New Birth

“Ye must be born again!” (John 3:7). Who? Everyone, in order to enter into the kingdom of God; in order to enter into the kingdom of God; in order to be saved. The old natural birth does not count; it must be a new spiritual birth. The Lord Jesus Christ says, “Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God” (John 3:5). What did He mean? We search the Bible and find that water is the symbol for the Word of God (“born of water”) here has nothing to do with water baptism, as baptism speaks of death, not birth, so man must be born again of the Holy Spirit, using the Word of God. The Lord makes it very clear that there is a great distinction between the flesh and the Spirit when he says, “That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit” (John 3:6)’ flesh remains flesh to the very end.
The Lord explains that there are mysteries in nature which we cannot understand: “The wind blows where it wills, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know whence it comes or whither it goes; so it is with every one who is born of the Spirit” (John 3:8, R.S. V.). You cannot see the wind, but you recognize its power; you cannot see the Holy Spirit, but you recognize His power. He is invisible, but He makes His presence felt in a mighty way as He convicts and regenerates sinful men. He changes men completely; you recognize the power, although you do not see it actually working; you see a vain, worldly woman suddenly become a quiet woman of prayer; you see a wicked, godless man changed into a saint; they become new creatures in Christ Jesus, with new desires, new hopes, new ambitions, and new hatreds too; for they hate the old things in which they used to live. That is the work of the Holy Spirit. You do not see the Spirit, but you see the power manifest in the life. In view of these truths we conclude that: (a) God requires the new birth in man because the natural man (I Cor. 2:14) cannot understand spiritual things; they are foolishness to him, no matter how educated, cultured or moral he may be; he entirely lacks the ability to “enter into the kingdom of God” (John 3:5), being absolutely unable to obey or please God (Rom. 8:7,8). (b) Turning over a new leaf is not the new birth, the new birth being a creation of the Holy Spirit (John 1:12,12;3:5; II Cor. 5:17; Eph.2:10; 4:24); not by producing “happy feelings” or ecstatic “experiences,” but solely by believing the Word of God; the Holy Spirit opens the Word to man’s spirit, as he hears and reads; he is made to understand his present relationship to God and his high destiny, learning that he who was once alien and outcast is now, through infinite grace, a child of God and joint heir with Christ (Rom. 8:16,17). (c) The requirement for the new birth is belief on Christ crucified and risen (John 1:12,12; 3:14,15; Gal 3:24), and it occurs at the instant of belief. (d) Through the new birth the believer lives in Christ, and Christ in the believer (Gal. 2:20; Eph. 2:10; 4:24; I Peter 1: 23-25; I John 5:10-12).
In summation, it is the Word of God received by faith and engrafted in the heart by the Holy Spirit that produces the new birth.

Life Is So Short

Many of us never stop to think about just how short life is when it is compared to eternal life. We get so caught up the rat race of society that we fail to think about the after life or what the bible refers to as eternity. Yes there is life after one dies and I am not talking about purgatory.....and forget about reincarnation too. That is not going to happen. "It is appointed
for all men to die and after that the judgement." "You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away." (James 4:14, NAS)

In Psalms 90, Moses talks about the shortness of life when compared to eternity.
"Lord, you have been our dwelling place and our refuge in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth or ever you had formed and given birth to the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting you are God. You turn man back to dust and corruption, and say, return, O sons of the earthborn. For a thousand years in your sight are but as yesterday when it is past, or as a watch in the night." (Psalm 90:1-4, Amplified Bible)

When we feel that we cannot go another day with the pressures, pain, frustrations and disappointments that we face in this life, focus upon eternity. This is why it is so crucial to know Jesus Christ as your Savior. "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son so that whosoever believeth in Him shall have eternal life." John 3:16

You may be saying, "ah I am too young to die" or " I haven't lived my life yet". DO NOT BE DECEIVED! Young people are dying at an alarming rate around the world, either murdered on our streets innocently or from diseases or catastrophes. Only you can make a difference where you will spend eternity - in Heaven or in Hell.

Please, I beg you, please consider choosing Jesus Christ today. God really loves you and He cares for you.
