The Son of Man is coming!

The Son of Man is coming!

"I saw in the night visions, and behold, there came with the clouds of heaven one like the Son of man, and went to the Ancient of Days, and they get to him. [The Messiah] was given authority and glory and kingdom, that all peoples, nations and men of every language serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass, and his kingdom will never be destroyed. "(Daniel 7:13-14)
Among the accurate prophecy that the Holy Spirit revealed to Daniel, the above is not a prediction of the first, but the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. It is a clear prophecy of the coronation of the Messiah in the end times, which will begin the thousand years of peace on earth.However, the term "Ancient of Days" in the above passage refers to God the Father In other words, Daniel had a vision of the Son of God the Father of man having dominion over all the earth. Area which will be eternal, and whose kingdom will never be destroyed.
The Lord Jesus Himself in Matthew 24:30, reinforces the same prophecy given by Daniel. About 550 years later, Jesus says about himself:
"Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, all the peoples of the earth mourn, and they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory [in brilliancy and splendor]."
As you read the entire chapter 24 of Matthew, Jesus makes this statement to explain all the signs that will precede His return.Signals which are already happening in our generation. During his sentencing, Jesus returns to talk about Daniel's prophecy in Matthew 26:64 that the high priest accused:
"Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said [sic], however, I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven."
Much later, around AD 96, Jesus appears to John (at the time as an exile on the island of Patmos) producing the same vision that was given to Daniel:
"I turned to see who was talking to me, and turned I saw seven golden lampstands, and among the lampstands one like a son of man, and girt about with talar robes, at chest height, with a golden girdle." (Revelation 1:13)

The text indicates that what John saw was a human being, in his appearance. "Son of Man" was one of the titles that Jesus gave himself, the same term used in Daniel 7:13.
Revelation 1:13 says that Jesus still appears "robed and girded talar, at chest height, with a golden girdle." ESAA description is typical of the robes that used when the chief priests ministering in the Temple. Hebrews 3:1 tells us that Jesus is our great high priest. In times of the Old and New Testaments, this garment symbolized power and authority to whom he dressed well.Especially the belt was worn only by one having authority.Matthew 28:18 says that all authority in heaven and on earth were given to Jesus.

Those who persevere in Christ will be crowned

"You did it, however, for a little lower than God [or His heavenly beings] and with glory and honor."(Psalms 8:5)
First, it is important to understand that the crown of the Bible, means recognition. For example, when a king is crowned, it means that all the people recognize him as supreme authority. David here is a prophetic vision of the future Messiah would be made for a short time, human (less than God), but the crowning glory and honor. The King James Fixed Faithful (ACF) cites the same text as follows:
"For you did little lower than the angels, and glory and honor."(Psalm 8:5 - KJV)
A thousand years later, Jesus comes to earth in exactly this way: 100% man made, but crowned with glory and honor, as quoted text.Both, the author of Hebrews quotes this passage confirming it in Jesus Christ in Hebrews 2:6-9:
"Before, someone in a certain place, he gave full testimony, saying, What is man that thou art mindful of him? Or the son of man that You visit him? You did it for a little lower than the angels, glory and honor Crown [and set over the works of thy hands]. All things in subjection under his feet. Now, since all things under him, he left nothing outside their domain [human]. Now, however, still do not see all the things he [human] subject; see, however, who, for a little while was made lower than the angels, Jesus, for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that by grace (unmerited favor) of God [to us sinners], might taste death for every man. "
This text is also showing that we are all human, despite being made smaller than God and the angels, can also be crowned with glory and honor if we persevere in doing the work of Christ right here on earth. In other words, God has crowns for recognizing each one of us. The Bible identifies five types of crown that we receive from God the Father:
1. The crown of righteousness (2 Timothy 4:8)
Living a righteous life before God certainly imply this crown. It is not easy to live justly in a world full of malignancy, masa eternal reward will be worth by the effort to honor Jesus Christ.
2. The Crown Incorruptible (1 Corinthians 9:25-27)
It is also often called the "crown of victory." This crown is given to those who deny to themselves and their personal desires, giving way to a life of faith to serve God with faithful service.
3. The Crown of Life (James 1:12 and Revelation 2:10)
All those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake the work of Christ on earth will receive this crown. Also known as "the crown of the martyrs," she has been given to all who were persecuted and killed because of Jesus Christ. God never fails to acknowledge the efforts of those who paid a heavy price because of persecution.
4. The Crown of Joy (1 Thessalonians 2:19)
All that lead people to Christ will receive this crown. The soul-winners are those who receive this recognition of God. Paul was a soul winner. Even the angels in heaven rejoice when one is saved (Luke 15:7).
5. The Crown of Glory (1 Peter 5:4)
This seems to be a special crown given to real leaders who teach and minister the Word of God correctly, genuine and special. Can be ministers, professors, teachers, evangelists of children or anyone who makes the Word of God faithfully come to others. Such individuals do not always receive recognition in life here on earth, but will certainly be rewarded in eternal life.
This week, think about how we can be eligible to receive all these crowns from God. Are we even acting in fidelity to the Lord Jesus here on earth?

Travail

OA woman when she is about to give birth, is suffering because her hour has come, but after that there is more reminiscent of his sadness because of the joy of having begotten a child. (John 16:21)
Our life is made thus: the times of pain and times of refreshing. I think we are in time to give birth. We generated long, suffer, pass sleepless nights, we had financial problems, illness, battles in the mind ...
However, God allows it all to grow in Him in order to produce something good in our lives - the same joy of seeing a child being born.
We lost but we lose something to gain the throne of God. No matter their age, their suffering, their daily struggles. It matters to your life with God, his fear of him even though you're hurting do with Job, God does not curse, but bless in the times of suffering, for He is your strength, your refuge.
Often you do not understand, but God has given him victory. And you can be sure that this suffering comes to an end, has a heavenly reward for their lives. For he who sows reaps, good or bad. That is, everything depends on what we sow. It is time to forgive, to sow seeds of love, say no to gossip, to bless those who curse you, not to point the finger at others, not to judge, because who are we to that?
We are flawed, it is a fact! Let us look at ourselves and see how we need God, as we have no right to point the finger at others. Often do not know the person and you judge it without knowing quite why it is critical that time and context of his life, or in time of good things ... However, it is because one day she planted in the kingdom of God in people's lives, gave their best and now reaps the fruits of righteousness.
So do not judge, but also planted seeds of love. We will do our best to bless the hungry, do a good deed, because certainly in the near future will reap the fruits of righteousness.

Israeli, Jewish, Jews and people of God

There is great confusion about the four terms that give name to this text. We have to make distinctions not only between the modern state of Israel and the historical-Biblical Israel, but mainly with the People of God. We should not delude ourselves: Israelis (citizens of Israel, a nation founded in 1948) and the Israelites of old (people descended from Abraham, children of the 12 tribes, the sons of Jacob, the people of Judea until 70 AD, also known as Hebrews)are not exactly the same people.


Since the term Jew, however, refers to those who follow Judaism, religion cognate ceremonial practices (preserved, developed or contaminated) after the Babylonian exile. These practices are associated with the observation of principles and concepts described, abstracted or relative to what we now call VT So there may be, Israeli Christians, atheists, Buddhists, etc.. But - strictly speaking - there is no Jewish Christian. And, of course, that today, in this sense, there is a Jew, and that none of these groups (ethnic, cultural or religious) is necessarily God's people.


The Bible states that 'Israeli', or 'descendant of Abraham' is one who by faith trust in God, whom we call elected! And who is not born in the "Holy Land" or even that it is descended from Semitic.


It is obvious that there are common elements between Judaism and Christianity, and both are 'derivatives' of the Old Testament readings (Speaking in a philosophical way and / or anthropological), and more, this niche was cultural / social / religious (Judaism) that he ultimately became completely (Hebrews 1: 1). But there are profound differences that can not be ignored or easily reconciled, without an abandonment of faith.


Jews close to the truth (Christ) and it is close to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Moses did not hear or even understand David and the prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah and Daniel, ignore the clear and unmistakable voice of God! In fact, not believing in Christ is not to obey Yahweh since the Scriptures (Tanakh) are clear about the lordship of Jesus. It is also noteworthy that during the 400 years between the end of that exile and coming of Christ, the assertion period of Judaism (such as culture, religion and ethnicity), God was silent. And there is a clear repudiation of Jesus by that tradition.


Even more firm and incisive than the other religions, the Jewish religious status should be condemned (as religion). Judaism with their belief system (based on the old covenant) is far from Christ, and be offensive, cruel and repulsive to all sincere Christians, because they maintain the symbols that pointed to the superior sacrifice of Christ, turns out to satirize, decrease or make fun of the substitutionary death of our savior, Jesus Christ, the only name that is no salvation!


However I must add that all religions (pejorative) - Christianity included - are reprehensible. How much try to buy the good gifts of divinity (whether with good deeds, penance, relics, devotion, obedience, liturgies, or witchcraft) to declare it (in the case of Christianity strict) dependence on Christ for salvation, not what to see (or hear) from the pulpit. But we need to clarify that this treatment (conviction) is to religion and does not (necessarily) anything with the religious (fan). This should be the target of our love.


Only Christ saves!


How shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation? Which having been announced by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard?

THE ANTICHRIST

This character is mainly is stated in the books of Daniel, 2 Thessalonians and Revelation. But who is the antichrist and that his role in the end times?
First, let's first see how the Bible defines the Antichrist:
The Bible defines antichrist as the son of perdition, man of sin, as 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4:
"Nobody in any way deceive you, because it will not succeed unless the apostasy comes first and is the man of sin revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and stands against all that is called God or is worshiped , so that he sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself as God. "
It is very important to mention that "son of perdition" was also the term Jesus used to refer to Judas in John 17:12:
"While I was with them I kept them in thy name that you gave me, and kept, and none of them is lost but the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled."
Coincidence? The Bible says that Judas Iscariot was possessed by Satan himself, as Luke 22:3-4:
"Satan entered into Judas, who was surnamed Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, and he was dealing with the chief priests and captains how to deliver him."
The Antichrist will also be possessed by Satan himself. So Paul says in 2 Thessalonians 2:7-10:
For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only in there until it is put off;and then that wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the breath of his mouth and destroy with the brightness of his coming;to that whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,and with all deceit of unrighteousness in them that perish because they refused to love the truth to be saved.So, Judas Iscariot and the Antichrist are the only ones to be possessed by Satan himself, according to the Bible. In 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 and 7-10 (above), the Bible shows us one of the main features of the Antichrist, which is to oppose everything that is from God, including Christians.
In Daniel 7:8,11,21 and 25-26 are also more characteristics of the antichrist. The Antichrist is described by Daniel as the "little horn":
8. I considered the horns, and behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom three of the first horns were uprooted, and behold, this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man and a mouth speaking great things.11. I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain and his body destroyed, and it was given to be burned by fire.21. As I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;25. He shall speak words against the Most High, and shall devour the saints of the Most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand one time and times and half a time.26. But the court will sit in court, and shall take away his dominion, to destroy and to break through.
THE SPIRIT OF THE ANTICHRISTThere is one very important detail that needs to comment on this study. To reach the Antichrist on the world stage successfully, is a necessary psychological preparation of world population so that it is fully accepted upon arrival. Just as there is today spread in the media that the mark would be good, practical and attractive, the same happens in a subliminal way for the antichrist to be accepted as soon as elected leader.
So, as John describes in 1 John 4:2-4, the spirit of antichrist already operates today doing exactly this study, whose aim is to discredit the divinity of Jesus Christ. Some examples:
Teams that claim to have found the supposed tomb with the bones of JesusThe discovery of the "Gospel" of JudasPriests of the church itself by denying the Jewish Holocaust of World War IIThe word antichrist means opposed to Christ, or in opposition to the anointed one. From now on, will be increasingly common this kind of reporting. It is the intensity of the operation of the spirit of the Antichrist rising to culminate in the arrival of the Antichrist in person.
NATIONALITY OF THE ANTICHRISTThe nationality of the antichrist has been one of the biggest issues today. There are only guesses and clues. Let them. Revelation 13:1 says:
"And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rising from the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads a blasphemous name."
This refers to the sea of ​​people who live around the Mediterranean Sea. Hence it takes to be a Gentile, not Jewish. Daniel 8:8-9 reads:
"And the goat waxed very great: but, being the most strong, the great horn was broken, and rose in its place four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven. And one of them came forth a little horn which grew exceedingly great toward the south and the east, and toward the pleasant land. "
In Daniel 8, Daniel has a vision of the overlapping Greek Empire to the Persian empire, which suggests that the Antichrist (represented by smaller horn) has partly Greek descent.
Daniel 9:26 refers to the Antichrist as a prince who is to come, which will also mean that the family of the race that destroyed Jerusalem. In history, this lineage is the Roman empire, which suggests that the Antichrist will also have Roman ancestry.
"And after threescore and two weeks will cut the Messiah, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary, and its end will come like a flood, and till the end there will be war; the desolations are determined. "(Daniel 9:26)
Daniel 11:36-37 says that the antichrist will do if the gods of his fathers. The phrase "respect for the God of their fathers" suggests that parents follow the antichrist to Almighty God. This fact suggests that the Antichrist will also have Jewish lineage.
Note: Corrected True King James is the one that gives us the clue of Jewish descent, as it translates the verse to "... respect for the God of their fathers ...". Other translations, such as the King James Version and the NIV, suppress this information and translate the same verse as "respect the gods of his fathers ...", suggesting that the parents of the antichrist already follow false gods instead of God Almighty.
"And the king shall do according to his will, and will rise up, and magnify himself above every god will, and against the God of gods shall speak astonishing things, and shall prosper till the indignation be complete, because it that determined shall be done. Neither shall he regard the God of your fathers, neither shall he regard the love of women, nor regard any god, for he shall magnify himself above all. "(Daniel 11:36-37)
Therefore, the Bible suggests that the Antichrist will seed Greco-Roman-Jewish.
