THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST " READY " ?

 The (Bible) The Word of GOD is a mirror which is clean and by having a Pure Heart, you can see the great need for growth. The Apostle Peter is one of our examples of a brother who walked with JESUS for 3 1/2 years and at the end Peter said " I Don't Know The MAN and I Go A Fishing. " Peter had a great need for growth even after walking with JESUS, Peter lacked understanding and still needed to Mature in the knowledge of CHRIST. Another example is Apollos a brother full of zeal, who really thought he knew The Heart of GOD, but found he could be taught a better way and so can we if our hearts are right. Apollos story is another example of a brother who needed to Mature in the knowledge of CHRIST. " And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus. This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John.  And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly." Acts. 18:24-26   All of us must grow,mature and bring forth good fruit, this fruit is leading someone to CHRIST. This is accomplished by the knowledge of THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. JESUS said we get it wrong because we lack the knowledge of the Scriptures and HIS POWER. The Second Coming of CHRIST is one of the great debates that puzzles us because of all the different interpretations, but The Father is not a GOD of confusion, we can and must mature in the understanding of his coming. We must study the Word to show our selves a believer fit to witness and handle The Word of GOD. If we're going to quote The Word of GOD you must know what we're talking about because people eternal life is at stake. And don't become evil when The Father starts opening the understanding of the people. Remember it was the Rulers, Priest's, Pharisee and some believers that tired to stop JESUS from giving the people the TRUTH. The Father said don't let this be you ! because there ARE PEOPLE THAT WOULD RATHER LIE AND IGNORE THE TRUTH THEN CHANGE. AND WILL DO EVERYTHING IN THEY'RE POWER TO MAKE SURE YOU STAY THE SAME !

There's two main places in the Bible that we get insight into The Second Coming of CHRIST. The Apostle Matthew's gives us the the words of JESUS. Paul on the other hand gives us another side of GOD. Which removes all fear and answers the question,  what happen to our love ones that died in CHRIST JESUS..       The Gospel according to St. Matthew chapter # 24 opens with : 
" And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. 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. And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows." Matt. 24 : 1-7      One Great understanding JESUS gives in this text is The 3rd Temple that our Jewish brothers and sisters are planning to build even at this very moment. And they're rising the Red Heifer for Worship. They do this because they're blinded to the truth. Just like most of us . JESUS said the Temple would be destroyed and rebuilt in 3 day. The 3rd TEMPLE IS JESUS, The City of Refuge a Building where the Foundation is GOD. JESUS is the end or fulfillment of all things. It is Finished ! The Veil of The Temple or the door that stopped us from being the presents GOD was removed. And JESUS said there's a new door now. I AM THE DOOR AND THE WAY to the Temple because I AM THE TEMPLE..  Open the ears of your soul and absorb the wisdom of GOD.  "And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.  And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.  Rev. 21:22-23

JESUS said there would be wars and rumors of wars, earth quakes, floods, hurricanes and tornadoes and all kinds of sicknesses, but the end is not yet. But death can come at anytime.  THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST IS AT DEATH ! We must know and understand that it's JESUS Who comes for us at death. JESUS said I have the keys over death and hell. No one dies are enters hell without JESUS. This is why JESUS said Watch and Pray for we know not the day nor hour that that Son Of Man Is Coming for us, but we do know death is coming and could be at your door today. Realizing that no man can see GOD and Live,  when CHRIST comes the only way we can see HIM is at death. And flesh and blood cannot inherent the Kingdom Of GOD. THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST IS AT DEATH..

JESUS went on to teach there will be no confusion when HE comes : 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. For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together. Matt. 24:27-28

Definition of CARCASS : a dead body : corpse; especially : the dressed body of a meat animal the living, material, or physical body   Carcase - contact with a, made an Israelite ceremonially unclean, and made whatever he touched also unclean, according to the Mosaic law (Hag. 2:13; comp. Num. 19:16, 22; Lev. 11:39).

JESUS is teaching us when ever you see a dead body know for sure HE was there ! And HE would be as obvious as the lighting flashing in the heavens. JESUS said every knee is going to bow, All the people that didn't bow to the LORD in front of man will bow at death, and there will be weeping and grinding of teeth. Crying I didn't know, I didn't know YOU where real. Get ready for no one knows the day are hour, but what we do know is death is coming and JESUS has the KEYS FEAR HIM ! Because JESUS now Rules with a Rod of Iron for all that don't believe or know HIM... Get ready, get ready, get ready for real. Because the Second Coming of Christ is at death, death is real so get ready ! JESUS said watch and pray for you know not the day nor hour that death will send you a text, ring your phone are come knocking at your door are you ready ?

JESUS now gives illustrations of HIS COMING : This is what will happen to all that's not ready. Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.  But and if that ev il servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;  And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;  The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.    Matt. 24: 45-51

THE PARABLE OF THE 10 VIRGINS :
The illustration of the Virgins represents 5 believes who was ready at the Coming of CHRIST. They had prepared for HIS COMING and was ready to go when ever HE appeared. But 5  didn't believe nor did they fear death without JESUS. They though it was all a joke, but can you hear them knocking at the door weeping and grinding there teeth but it was to late. Matt. 25

THE ILLUSTRATION OF NOAH :
JESUS said no man knows when I AM COMING. But just as in the days of Noah they where eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage and all of a sudden death came. Jesus is teaching us be ready for you know not the day are hour, but you do know death is coming.

Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? John 11: 25-26

This final part in understanding the Second Coming Of JESUS is untreated in 1ST. THESSALONIANS 5:1-11      But 1ST. CORINTHIANS gives us what was not known to the Church. That everyone that believe in The LORD JESUS CHRIST after HIS Resurrection shall never die. And shall never wait in the earth. But we shall be changed in a moment like a flash of light in the face of GOD.. The Rapture happens at death. Just like we came to The Father a long we will meet HIM a long. Just as we were baptized a long, we shall die a long but if you have JESUS death has no sting.. The bottom line is we shall not sleep in a grave.
The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven. As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the 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. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.   1ST. Cor. 15:47-54

Now Thessalonians has been misunderstood for years because Corinthians has clearly taught us that we shall not all SLEEP. Paul writes the dead in CHRIST shall rise first. This by no means is teaching that believers in CHRIST shall not be changed. but must wait in the earth this contradict the Word That we just read. Paul is teaching that all the people that died today 6/20/11 are the first to die in CHRIST because we're still here, we're the ones that remain and one day it will be our time to meet JESUS. CHRIST is teach be ready, keep your house in order at all times because we don't know the day are hour that JESUS is COMING FOR YOU !

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. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 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. 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: 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. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.       1ST. Thessalonians 4:13-18
But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. 1ST. Thes. 5:1-3

WATCH AND PRAY FOR YOU KNOW NOT WHEN YOUR FATHER IS COMING !
