the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ...

[Wheeler]

When religious man shall hear the Word spoken in Truth….in Christ Jesus….in this last day, it is sown into his heart which is spiritually the “earth.”

Mark 4:26-29 KJV
(26) And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;
(27) And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.

The BELIEVING heart (the “earth”) of the person receiving the Seed….the Word of God spoken in Christ Jesus….shall then bring forth fruits of His righteousness. Religious man must DO His commandments…..to have love for one another. These are the “first fruits”…..the fruits of the Spirit are love, peace, joy, patience, kindness. This is Christ the first fruits in our hearts.

(28) For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.

When the “earth” of the heart finally brings forth His fruits of righteousness completely, then God IMMEDIATELY sends forth Jesus Christ….the “sickle”…into our mouths. We are to then go out and speak His Word in order to “harvest” others for the Lord who will then be the owner of our hearts, minds, and souls….our tongues.

(29) But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle,because the harvest is come.

His patience is our salvation and so we must patiently establish our hearts….bringing forth the precious fruit of the heart…the “earth”. We must be diligent in doing His commandments…having love for one another…..for the coming of the Lord draws near when we complete His will in our hearts. He will send Jesus who is the Word in our tongues only when we have brought forth His fruit completely within our hearts.

James 5:7-8 KJV
(7) Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.
(8) Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.

All shall be made alive….every man in his own order. Those who will hear the Word spoken in the Truth shall bring forth the first fruits in their heart….Christ the first fruits which is LOVE. And AFTERWARD….when we completely bring forth all of the fruits of the Spirit in the heart, Christ comes to our tongues so that we may speak His Word. He will have delivered up the kingdom of our hearts, minds and souls to God. All of our imaginations, thoughts and ways will have been put down.

1 Corinthians 15:22-24 KJV
(22) For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
(23) But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
(24) Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

We are to abide in Him….in love…..so that when He shall appear in our tongues, we may have confidence.

1 John 2:28 KJV
(28) And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

The Lord shall make us increase and abound in love toward one another and toward all men as our hearts are being prepared ….bringing forth Christ the first fruits. Our hearts will be fully prepared then for the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ…..for the tongue of Christ….to arrive in our mouths. Then we can finally speak His Word in Truth and with power.

1 Thessalonians 3:11-13 KJV
(11) Now God himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you.
(12) And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you:
(13) To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.

The God of peace shall cleanse us wholly and He shall preserve us blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ….whom He will send into our mouths when we are finally prepared for him.

1 Thessalonians 5:23 KJV
(23) And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

When we finally bring forth the fruits of the Spirit and ABIDE in them, then He comes quickly.

Revelation 3:11 KJV
(11) Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

He comes quickly to those who will KEEP….DO…the sayings of the prophecy of the Book. When we preach the Word of God with Christ Jesus who is sent immediately into us as our tongues when we have fully prepared our hearts, then we “prophesy.”

Revelation 22:6-7 KJV
(6) And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.
(7) Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.

He is the “root” of David….He is the tongue of the King that shall be given to us.

Revelation 22:16 KJV
(16) I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the rootand the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

He is the “rod”….the tongue…that shall be given us.

We are to OVERCOME our hearts…our own ways and thoughts….and keep His works unto the end. Our hearts are to become fully prepared in His righteousness and He will then give power over the nations.

Revelation 2:26-29 KJV
(26) And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:

The power is in the tongue….the tongue of Jesus Christ shall be given to us. The tongue in Christ will become a “rod of iron.”

(27) And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.
(28) And I will give him the morning star.
(29) He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

Everyone,

We all pass through eternity through reincarnation and we now have scientific proof of this. Reincarnation does NOT conflict with Christian beliefs, it explains them. The Christ returning and the "resurrection of the dead" is accomplished through the 'transmigration of the soul'. The body is temporary and the soul is eternal. Don't confuse 'heavens': the sky and space with 'heaven': an idyllic state of mind.

Anyone claiming to be "the Christ reincarnated" would (according to the Bible) have to produce the "book/scroll" prophesied in The Revelation 5:1-10:10 with the "7 seals" on the cover. I've produced the 74-page booklet There Are No Coincidences - there is synchronism with the "7 seals"/ 'beyond Einstein theories' on the cover, see... http://www.christianforums.com/t7566552/

When we hear the Word of Truth preached in this last day, the Seed that is sown in the hearts of those who will believe will bring forth the fruits of the Spirit so that the we may also receive the Lord Jesus Christ…..the Word of God…within our mouths. He shall be added to our tongues as the Word spoken in Truth. We are to wait patiently for the coming of the Lord as we establish our hearts in His righteousness. Religious man has been bogged down in envy, strife and hatred. He needs to hear the Word spoken in Truth so that he may produce fruits of the Spirit.

James 5:7-10 KJV
(7) Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.
(8) Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.

We are to not grudge against each other…but to have love for one another. Love is patient….it is kind….it is not rude…it is not envious…it is not boastful…it Is not proud.

(9) Grudge not one against another,brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.
(10) Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.

By doing this, then the day of Pentecost will have fully come. Pentecost is the feast of harvest. It is the feast we keep when we are all of one accord in one place….having love for one another. The first fruits of the Spirit harvest will have fully come.

Acts 2:1-4 KJV
(1) And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
(2) And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

Then God will send His Son to us who will give us a mouth that no enemy can gainsay or resist. He will make His messengers a flame of fire….speaking the Word of God in Truth and Spirit. We shall rightly divide the Word of God…..making our mouths a messenger of the Truth…..with cloven tongues. We shall be His “angels”….His messengers…who are sent out to reap others for God in the great harvest of men. Only when we have fully brought forth the fruits of the Spirit…love, peace, joy….will this take place.

(3) And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
(4) And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

He will give us a mouth and wisdom which ALL of our adversaries shall not be able to resist.

Luke 21:15 KJV
(15) For I will give you a mouthand wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.

He makes his ministers of the Word of Truth a flaming fire.

Psalms 104:4 KJV
(4) Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:

He will make us as the “angels of God in heaven”…..we will preach the Word of Truth to others in their hearing…..in the “heavens.” We will repeat what we will hear the Spirit saying in the Word of Truth.

Matthew 22:29-30 KJV
(29) Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
(30) For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

We shall “prophesy”…..we shall speak the Word of God with true understanding….and not in “tongues which means speaking the Word but not truly knowing what we are saying. We shall see “visions”….we shall understand the writings of the Bible. When religious man reads the Bible, his mind immediately forms a “vision” of how it should be. He sees ethereal scenes…fantastical images…with his fleshly mind. But religious man is asleep….he is dreaming. He will wake up and interpret those “visions.” We shall interpret the Scriptures as they were meant to be….in Christ Jesus who is the Truth…..by the Spirit.

Acts 2:17-19 KJV
(17) And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
(18) And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:

He will show wonders in heaven above.

(19) And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:

Many shall HEAR the wonderful works of God in their ears which are the wonders shown in the “heaven” above. We shall HEAR them in our ears above….in the “heavens.” In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. God is in the Word that we will hear in the “heavens” of the airways.

Acts 2:11-12 KJV
(11) Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.
(12) And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this?

And He shall show signs in the “earth” beneath. The preaching of the Word of God in the Spirit will show signs in the HEART of the hearing man….the “earth beneath.” When we will hear the Word of God spoken in Truth and Spirit, then our hearts shall “burn.” As it says in Luke 24…… Did not our hearts burn with us (the “fire” in the earth) while he TALKED with us by the Way and while he opened to us the Scriptures? The preaching of the Word of God in Truth comes not in word only but also in POWER. We won’t just merely hear it with our ears but will have the evidence of His power in our hearts….the signs in the “earth.”

Luke 24:32-36 KJV
(32) And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?
(33) And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,

The Lord shall appear to “Simon” which means “HEARING.” He shall appear in our hearing of the Word of Truth. He is the Word that we will hear.

(34) Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.
(35) And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread.

And as we speak His Word, Jesus himself stands in the midst of us. He is the Word that we will speak with our tongues. His Word shall give us peace.

(36) And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

The “signs” will be in the “earth”….the heart. Out of “heaven”…the airways of the hearing of man….we shall hear His voice. His voice is heard through the preaching of the Word in Truth and Spirit by His messengers. We shall hear His instruction…..to have love for one another. There is power in the Word. Upon the “earth”…the heart….He shall show His great fire. His Words shall make our hearts “burn.”

Deuteronomy 4:36 KJV
(36) Out of heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he might instruct thee: and upon earth he shewed thee his great fire; and thou heardest his words out of the midst of the fire.

The Word comes to us not in word only….but also in power. It makes our hearts “burn.” We shall have JOY within our hearts.

1 Thessalonians 1:5-6 KJV
(5) For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.
(6) And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost:

Those who will HEAR His Word will receive it with joy.

Luke 8:13 KJV
(13) They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.

But will they KEEP His Word within their hearts? Will they go on to bring forth fruit with patience? Will they patiently bring forth fruit in order to receive the Lord Jesus Christ….the tongue of the Word of Truth who God will send to those who have done so?


Luke 8:15 KJV
(15) But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it,and bring forth fruit with patience.

 

[Wheeler]

As His messengers, we will reveal Jesus Christ to others by word of mouth….by the WORD…..the “breaking of the bread” of heaven. Jesus is that Word of God we will hear others speaking…that “Bread” of God that comes down from “heavens”. The “heavens” are the airways…the hearing ears of man. His “Bread” gives life to the hearers of the Word. His words are Life and Spirit…. “Breath.”

John 6:32-36 KJV
(32) Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.
(33) For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
(34) Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.
(35) And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
(36) But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.

As His messengers sent forth by Him, we are to open up the Scriptures to others by the wisdom of God. No interpretation of the Scriptures is by man’s private interpretation but by the Spirit of Christ….by His “Breath.” His “supper” are the true sayings of God.

Luke 24:30-39 KJV
(30) And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.

And when the “eyes” of our understanding are opened and we shall know Him by the Word spoken to us. Then the messenger of the Word of Truth is no longer needed….for we shall know Him within our hearts and shall be able to speak His Word to others….revealing Jesus to others with His Word that will come out of our mouths.

(31) And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.
(32) And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?
(33) And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,

The Lord appears to “Simon”…which means “hearing.” He shall be revealed in the hearing of His Word of Truth in this last day. As His messengers, we are to reveal Jesus to others by speaking the Word of Truth to others so that they may know Him also.

(34) Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.
(35) And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread.

And when we speak the Word to others as the two disciples did with the eleven who were gathered together, there is Jesus himself standing in the midst of us….via the Word. Jesus is the Word of God spoken in Truth and Spirit.

(36) And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
(37) But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
(38) And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?

His messengers are people In the here and now. They will reveal Jesus to others by their speaking of the Word. Jesus reveals himself via the tongues of human beings. His disciples are his “hands” and his “feet.” We are of the body of Christ.

(39) Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.

“How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the good news of peace and bring tidings of good things!” His messengers are His “feet”.

Romans 10:14-15 KJV
(14) How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
(15) And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!

We are to be like Mary and sit at Jesus’ “feet” and hear His Word. We are to pay attention and not be distracted by the worldly things like Martha was.

Luke 10:38-42 KJV
(38) Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.
(39) And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word.
(40) But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.

What a great many things that many in the churches are concerned and troubled about. Will they be too busy to hear the Word of Truth when it comes?

(41) And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:
(42) But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

His messengers shall reveal the Son of man by the Word that they will speak. But there will be those in the church who will be too busy doing “church” to really care. They shall continue to “eat and drink”….continuing after the covetousness in their hearts as they build their churches, their ministries, their glory among men, their congregations. They will continue thinking that gain is godliness. It will be church business as usual as the Word is being preached openly. History repeats itself….remember the days of Lot.

Luke 17:28-30 KJV
(28) Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;

Like Lot, the righteous shall be removed from among the wicked in the church (those who will not believe) by the Word of the Truth that the messengers will come to preach (the sound of a great trumpet) to them in order to gather them out. He will come like a “thief in the night” to take out His people from among them.

(29) But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
(30) Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

The pastors of churches who will not be watching for the Word of the Truth shall be surprised by the “thief” when He comes to take His people from under their watch. He comes to get “Lot and family” by the hand and lead them out from under their influence. The pastors houses shall be broken up by the Word spoken by His messengers. They will believe and leave.

Matthew 24:43-44 KJV
(43) But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
(44) Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

What concord does Christ have with Belial….men who are worthless…because of their unbelief in the Word of Truth. We shall not fellowship any longer with the unbelievers in the churches.

2 Corinthians 6:14-18 KJV
(14) Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
(15) And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
(16) And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

The house shall be broken up….as the righteous leave the presence of the unrighteous.

(17) Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
(18) And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

The messengers shall gather His elect together from the four winds….from every wind of doctrine that religious man teaches in error out of the hidden covetousness that is in his heart. They will reveal Jesus to others via the spoken Word. Like Peter, they will come to gather the church out of its “prison”. Religious man keeps many in the dark….bound in the chains of envy and strife…in divisions and hatred of one another. Religious man preaches errors and his works are based on those errors. They are works of darkness that keep us bound in the dark prison…the bondage house of religious men. But His messengers will lead them out like the angel of the Lord did with Lot and like they did with Peter. They will come forth and shall brighten the “prison” that many are currently in with the preaching of Jesus Christ.

Acts 12:7-11 KJV
(7) And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.

They are to put on Jesus Christ and follow him out of their prisons. He will deliver many from errors…from sins and transgressions. They will no longer follow the wrong voice but will follow Him. They are the “other sheep” that had been scattered by strangers’ voices in their pulpits.

(8) And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.
(9) And he went out, and followed him; and wist not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision.

Blessed are those who do His commandments….His two greatest commandments….for they shall have the right to enter into the city. The first and second wards are the two greatest commandments that we are to fulfill. We are to love God with all of our hearts, minds and souls….and love one another as He loves us. When we complete these things….bringing His righteousness to fruition in our hearts…we will no longer need the “angel”…for we shall know Him ourselves.

(10) When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him.

We shall then “come to ourselves” for we shall know Him and His mercy. All shall know Him….from the least to the greatest and will not need any to teach them to know the Lord.

(11) And when Peter was come to himself,he said, Now I know of a surety, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.

In that day shall the “Branch”….the tongue that speaks the Word of Truth ….be beautiful and glorious. And the “fruit of the earth”….the fruits of the HEART…shall be excellent and comely for those that will ESCAPE from the “prisons” of religious men. His Word…Jesus….delivers many from the errors of religious men. We shall have true love for one another in Christ Jesus…who is the Word of Truth. His messengers shall reveal Jesus in that Word that they will speak and many shall escape from the current houses of bondage that we call “church”. We are those who are CALLED OUT from among them. The true “church” is the “called out” from what religious man calls “church”.

Isaiah 4:2 KJV
(2) In that day shall the branch of the LORD be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel.

 

[Wheeler]

Be not forgetful to entertain “strangers”. Strangers will come forth speaking His Word of Truth in this last day. They will be His messengers.

Hebrews 13:2 KJV
(2) Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

Their words will seem strange…foreign…to many in the churches in this last day. Their teachings will not conform to anything currently being taught by religious men. But we should be quick to listen…and slow to speak…slow to wrath…when we hear their words. He will “begat” us with His WORD of Truth.

James 1:18-22 KJV
(18) Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth,that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

When we hear that Word we are to be swift to hear and slow to speak. Many will be tempted to speak out against His Word because it will not conform to their “words” that they speak in ignorance.

(19) Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
(20) For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.

Like Cain was warned, sin lies at the door. Sin lies at the “door” of religious man’s mouth. He will be tempted to disesteem what he will hear with his ears. He will be tempted to stubbornly stick to his own denominations teachings….his pastor’s words….his family’s traditions. But he is instructed to get rid of the wrathful words that he will be tempted to speak….and receive with MEEKNESS the engrafted Word which is able to save his soul.

(21) Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.

And be DOERS of the Word and not just hearers of it…..

(22) But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only,deceiving your own selves.

The words of His messengers that will be sent forth to teach will be the words of Jesus Christ in their mouths. Will we recognize Him when we will hear His voice? The two disciples on the road to Emmaus didn’t recognize Jesus at first.

Luke 24:15-16 KJV
(15) And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.
(16) But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.

But they “entertained” the “stranger”…..

Luke 24:28-31 KJV
(28) And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further.
(29) But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them.

….and they only knew Him by the breaking of bread….by the living words that He spoke to them. He “broke” down the Scriptures for their understanding.

(30) And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.
(31) And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.

Mary Magdalene also did not recognize Jesus at first…..

John 20:14-16 KJV
(14) And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.
(15) Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.

She recognized Him by His teaching…..for she called Him “Master”….which means “Teacher”.

(16) Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.

His messengers whom He will send forth will also not be recognizable as Him. They will be flesh and bone people…unrecognizable to them from the outside…."strangers". But He is in the Word that they will speak. Jesus is the WORD of God. His words are Life and are Spirit. His messengers are to be used as His conduits of the Word of Truth. Let us not forget to "entertain" the words of "strangers"....let us hear their words and consider them....for we will not know immediately where they come from.

 

[Wheeler]

Our goal is to overcome the envying, strife and hatred within our hearts by the hearing of the Word of Truth in this last day and bring forth the first fruits of righteousness within us….for without these things being completed, our Lord Jesus Christ will not come and be our “tongues” so to speak. Many in the churches have been living as carnal babes in Christ for the last 2000 years……

1 Corinthians 3:1-3 KJV
(1) And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
(2) I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.

….for there is among us envying and strife and divisions. We can not understand His Word in the Truth because of these things. We are only fed with “milk” and not the “meat” of the Word. We, as a whole group, have not gone on to perfection….receiving the tongue that speaks the Word of God in Truth…..the “meat” of the Word. We have been living only as “babes” and not advancing on to perfection.

(3) For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?

Like the disciples showed us, many of the churches argue among themselves about which of them is the greatest. Which is the greatest church? Which is the correct denomination? Which is the correct biblical interpretation? Which church is the one approved by God over the other? Which is the richest?

Luke 9:46 KJV
(46) Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest.

The true, spiritual meaning of the Lord’s supper is to come together in true love for one another. This love is to be unfeigned. When we come together, we come together for the worse and not for the better. Many sit at the Lord’s supper to argue over who is accounted the greatest among them….just as His disciples did.

Luke 22:20-24 KJV
(20) Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.
(21) But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.
(22) And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed!

Strife arises among the churches about which should be accounted the greatest. They come together in their churches for the worse ….not discerning the body of Christ. We are ALL of the body of Christ…across all denominations. We are still living as “babes” though in Christ…..and not advancing on to perfection. We continue to live in divisions…in envying and strife….over who is accounted the greatest among us.

(23) And they began to enquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.
(24) And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.

The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men and “killed” because of this behavior of many in the churches. The biblical witnesses’ words have been “killed”….the Truth is hidden behind the twisting of their words because of the envying and strife that is so prevalent among us.

Mark 9:31-37 KJV
(31) For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise the third day.

We can not understand their words correctly…..because we dispute among ourselves about who is the greatest.

(32) But they understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask him.

When He finally comes into our humbled and repentant hearts with His comfort (Capernaum means “city of comfort”,) He will ask us about what have we been disputing among ourselves. Why have we been disputing for the last 2000 years?

(33) And he came to Capernaum: and being in the house he asked them, What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way?

Again, who is the greatest church among us is the dispute we all have….

(34) But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed among themselves, who should be the greatest.

In order to sit down upon His throne with Him, we must be a “servant of all.” We must minister His Word of Truth in this last day in all meekness and love. “He sat down” = the coming judgment in this last day. He “called the twelve”…..He will call forth His messengers forth in this last day. The “twelve” signifies those who are spiritually from all of the tribes of Israel who are called in this last day to be His messengers….His “angels.” He gives the instruction to the messengers He will call forth to preach: If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.

(35) And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.

His messengers are to be like a child…..and not be a ruler like the current “kings” who are in the pulpits of many churches today.

(36) And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them,

And those who will receive the “children”…the messengers of the Word of Truth in this last day…..receive Him. The messengers will reveal Jesus Christ in the Word that they will come preaching in all meekness that comes with His wisdom.

(37) Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me:and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.

Those who will receive the words of His messengers in this last day receive Jesus and the Father. Jesus is the WORD that they will be speaking. He will be in their mouths...for they will have overcome and have received Him in their tongues.

John 13:19-20 KJV
(19) Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he.
(20) Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.

Those who will hear Jesus Christ being revealed to them in the Word that will be spoken and will receive it into their hearts shall hear Him as well. The words that will come out of the mouths of His last-day messengers are the words of Jesus Christ himself.

Luke 10:16 KJV
(16) He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.

Many shall receive Him as their King as they did 2000 years ago. The Word will come to us by His messengers who will preach it in their meekness. He comes on a “donkey” in lowliness and meekness to those who will receive Him.

Matthew 21:5 KJV
(5) Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.

And a very great multitude of His people shall spread their garments in the Way of righteousness. They shall cast off their “religious” works of darkness to follow Him in the Way. They shall “cut down branches”….they shall get rid of their tongues that speak evil and error from their hearts. They shall follow Him.

Matthew 21:8-11 KJV
(8) And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way.
(9) And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.
(10) And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?

Jesus is in the tongue….the Word…of His messengers. “Nazareth” means “branch” and refers to the tongue. He comes forth from the tongue…the “branch”…. of His messengers. “Galilee” means “wheel, revolution, turn.” It is the hearing ear that “turns, revolves” to the Truth. They will speak what they HEAR the Spirit saying in this last day.

(11) And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.

But not all will receive His messenger’ words in this last day. Many church leaders who currently live as kings shall not receive the little “children” of the Word of Truth that will be sent to them. They will be of the modern-day “Diotrephes’s “ in the churches who will love to have the preeminence among their congregations.

3 John 1:8-11 KJV
(8) We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellowhelpers to the truth.
(9) I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.

They will “prate” against His messengers of the Truth in this last day. They shall speak malicious words against them and will forbid those of their congregations from receiving their words. Those who will openly receive the Word of Truth in this last day will be cast out of their churches.

(10) Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and forbiddeth them that would, and casteth them out of the church.

He that will receive His messengers and His Word that they will speak with love is of God….for God IS love.

(11) Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.

Instead of coming to the Word of Truth in all humbleness and sacrifice, they will continue in the “temple” of their hearts preaching “peace and safety” (selling “doves”) and making merchandise of His sheep because of the covetousness in their hearts. It will be business as usual until He comes in the day of their visitation for their hardness of their evil hearts.

Matthew 21:12-14 KJV
(12) And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,
(13) And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.

They shall be cast out into outer darkness. They shall be judged for their sins…..until they return to Him in their humbled hearts and be healed. They shall become “blind and lame” ….and shall only be healed by their returning to Him in the temple of their hearts in the FAITH of the Word of Truth.

(14) And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them.

The “devil” or Satan will reveal himself in the tongues of those who will oppose. The “man of sin” will be revealed with their mouths…..for he will rise up to oppose what he will hear. The word “devil” means “false accuser, slanderer.” Those who will falsely accuse His messenger as “evil-doers” in this last day will be the children of the wicked one. They will be men in the churches. But His messengers are to be like little children, not rendering evil for evil so that God may be glorified when they are visited by Him for their sins. They will learn not to blaspheme by His judgments.

1 Peter 2:11-12 KJV
(11) Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
(12) Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.

When we hear the Word of Truth in this coming time, we are to put away the “sword” of our mouths. For those who will speak evil against the Truth shall perish with their own speaking.

Matthew 26:52-53 KJV
(52) Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.

The Father will give Jesus Christ 12 legions of “angels” in this last day. They will be His messengers of the Truth who will come forth to gather His elect together from the “four winds” of every man-made doctrine that is designed after with the covetousness within religious man’s heart.

(53) Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?

The “four winds”…..

Matthew 24:31 KJV
(31) And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

….toss the carnal “children” of the churches around in envy, strife, divisions, hatred. Many are carried about with every “wind of doctrine” of men that preach them because of the covetousness that are in their hearts.

Ephesians 4:14 KJV
(14) That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;

His “angels” are the last day pastors, teachers, apostles, prophets, evangelists who shall come forth to gather His elect TOGETHER……

Ephesians 4:11-13 KJV
(11) And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

…..for the perfecting of the saints….for the building of the body of Chirst….TOGETHER.

(12) For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

The messengers will come forth to gather together all of His people….from all denominations…from all directions….from all doctrines, commandments, and traditions of men. Both Jew and Gentile shall be gathered together by the preaching of the Word of Truth by His messengers in this coming time. We are to become a new creation….a new man.

(13) Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

He will say to His last-day messengers: “Come, let US make man in OUR image and after OUR likeness…..”

Genesis 1:26 KJV
(26) And God said, Let usmake man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

His last day messengers that shall be called forth will have already been made into His image….Christ Jesus….and are called to gather together His elect until we come in the unity of the faith in the Word and of the knowledge of the Son of God….being made into a perfect NEW MAN. As His messengers in this last day, we are co-workers with God in making this new man into OUR image by the Word that we will preach to His people.

The Parousia of Matt 24

 

[Wheeler]

Hi LittleLambofJesus,

Thanks for reading!

Jesus comes to our ears in the form of the Word of Truth that will be preached in this last day. He is the WORD of God spoken in Truth and in Spirit by His messengers who are to be sent forth. He is revealed in the WORD that will be spoken.

Those who hear with their ears are then to let Him into our hearts….so that we may bring forth fruits of TRUE righteousness. We depart from the envy, strife and hatred that is brought forth as a result of the erroneous teachings of religious men. He shall cleanse us with His revealed Word of Truth. And when the fruits are fully brought forth, God sends our Lord Jesus Christ…“the sickle”…. into our mouths so that we may “harvest” others with His Word. We will reveal Him to others in the spoken Word. He will make us His messengers by the sending of the Lord Jesus Christ into our fully prepared hearts. He is sent as our mouth that speaks Him.

Concerning the “sign” of His “parousia”:

Jesus is revealed through the preaching of the gospel of the kingdom by His messengers that will be sent forth. This “kingdom” is our HEARTS. We are to let Him rule our hearts…..which is His temple. We will HEAR with our ears (the “heavens”) the good news of the kingdom being preached in this last day AND we are to let His Word into our hearts voluntarily in order for Him to be Lord over us. The kingdom of God is our hearts. His nearness is in the Word that will be preached in Truth in this last day.

Here is the SIGN of His being near…His presence: we shall see the “abomination of desolation” stand in the “holy place” where it should not be.

Matthew 24:14-15 KJV
(14) And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
(15) When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand

Where will it stand? In the “temple” of God….which is our HEARTS! When the Word of Truth comes to the ears of His people in this last day, there will be two reactions. We will hear His voice via His messengers in the “graves” of religious man…..in the envying, strife and hatred that many have been living in.

John 5:28-30 KJV
(28) Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,

All shall come forth….either to receive the love of the Truth and be saved (“life” = having love for one another) or to awaken to pride and vocal opposition to His Word and be judged for our willful resistance.

(29) And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

The judgment is based on the exposing of what is in every heart by the tongue. Some will negatively resist the Word of Truth with their mouths. The “man of sin” will be revealed. The man of sin will seek his own will…..his own covetousness in his heart. As He hears, He judges.

(30) I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.

One reaction will be to do good. Those who hear and will believe in the Word of Truth and humble their hearts so that He will reign in them will bring forth good fruits. The kingdom of God is WITHIN….within our hearts!

The other reaction will be those who will rise up in their religious pride and OPPOSE what they will hear. Why will they oppose? Because of the covetousness in their hearts that they will refuse to put to death.

The SIGN of His nearness…is the vocal OPPOSITION to the preaching of the “gospel of the kingdom.” This opposition will be before all men to hear. They will stand up in their hearts and will vocally oppose what they will HEAR and this will be evident to ALL of us. The preaching of the Truth shall cause an extreme negative reaction of those in the church who let covetousness rule their hearts. The “man of sin” shall be revealed….for the preaching of Jesus Christ shall reveal the secrets of men’s hearts in this last day.

The “man of sin” shall reveal himself with HIS MOUTH…and is the SIGN OF HIS being near. When we see this, we are to FLEE from those who call themselves brothers but are really slaves of sin. They will reveal themselves with their mouths.

Those who are in Jesus are to separate from the ungodly among them. We are to flee to His mountains of righteousness for God shall judge those who will resist His Word with their tongues. We do not want to be in their presence when His wrath will be revealed. We, who will believe His Word of Truth in this last day, and are not to stay in their presence for their judgment will not slumber. We do not want to be consumed in their iniquities….their plagues that shall come upon them.

2 Thessalonians 2:3-12 KJV
(3) 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;

The negative reaction to the Word of Truth shall be heard by all of us….. for many people in the church shall exalt themselves in their hearts with their tongues over the hearing of His Word. The wheat shall see the “tares” by their bad “fruit” brought forth out of their hearts with their mouths.

In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word WAS GOD. All that is “called God” is His WORD of Truth that will be preached in this last day. They will rise up in their pride to oppose in this last day.

They shall sit in the “temple of God” showing themselves as God. The “temple” of God IS our HEARTS. He is to RULE in the kingdom of our hearts. These men shall be revealed as the “man of sin” because they will sit in their own hearts as God instead of letting God rule over their hearts. They will hear His Word in this last day and will refuse to confess with their tongues that He is Lord over them by their vocal opposition that shall be heard by all. This is how we shall know that His presence is here….by their vocal negativity. It will be quite visible.

(4) 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.
(5) Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
(6) And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
(7) For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
(8) And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:

The Lord’s “parousia”…His being near….is in accordance with the working of Satan. When Jesus Christ is being preached….the Word of Truth….then the lying tongue comes forth because they will have not received the love of the Truth. The “sign” is in the negative reaction to what they will hear. It will be extreme and ALL shall see it. There will be no second guessing His presence by all of the actions of the resisters of the Holy Spirit. We then are to flee from their company.

(9) Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
(10) And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
(11) And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
(12) That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Covetousness should not stand in our hearts….in the “temple.”

John 2:13-17 KJV
(13) And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,
(14) And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:

He will come drive out those who will continue to make merchandise of His people because of the covetousness in their hearts. He shall judge His people for their willful sins when the Word of Truth has been preached to them….and their rejection of what they will hear. Covetousness is idolatry in the heart….in the temple where God should be sitting.

(15) And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;
(16) And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.
(17) And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.

 

[Wheeler]

…..continued from previous post…



The “adversaries” of the gospel of Christ will be men in the church who will not believe in what they will hear in this last day. Their opposition to the Truth and to His believers is the EVIDENT TOKEN….the SIGN….of His being near and our salvation and their “perdition.”

Philippians 1:27-28 KJV
(27) Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;
(28) And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God.

Those who are believers of the Word of God shall suffer for His sake….because of the mouths of the unbelievers among His people.

29 For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;

 

[Wheeler]

Concerning the “timing” of Matthew 24…..

Jesus first came to the lost sheep of literal Israel…..the Jews. They had the Day of salvation when Jesus came to preach to them. He came to preach the year of salvation….the acceptable year of the Lord…. to the RELIGIOUS people of the Jews only. The Gentiles at the time were not called to this salvation.

Luke 4:18-20 KJV
(18) The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
(19) To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

Notice that Jesus doesn’t mention the Day of God’s wrath when he quotes Isaiah in Luke.

Isaiah 61:1-2 KJV
(1) The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;

In Luke, Jesus stops right after “to proclaim the acceptable year of Jehovah”….and does NOT say “the day of vengeance of our God.”

(2) To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;

The literal children of Israel were to be filled with the “bread” of heaven FIRST….before any Gentle could partake of it. The Gentiles were considered the “dogs” that weren’t meant to be given the holy things of God. They were the outsiders. Yet, even the Greek woman believed.

Mark 7:26-29 KJV
(26) The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.
(27) But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto the dogs.
(28) And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.
(29) And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter.

Yet, many of the Jews did not believe in His Word. They did not know the time of their visitation. The things that belonged unto them could have brought them peace….peace in their hearts. And so the year of the salvation came to a close and their Day of the wrath of God came upon them as judgment.

Luke 19:41-44 KJV
(41) And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,
(42) Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.
(43) For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,
(44) And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.

Now the natural branches were cut off because of UNBELIEF so that we Gentiles could be grafted in. the Gentiles are “spiritual” Israel. “Spirit” means “breath”…..our thoughts, beliefs and words are of Israel. But are we any better than they? NO….for all have sinned and have fallen short of the glory of God.

Romans 3:9-12 KJV
(9) What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;
(10) As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
(11) There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
(12) They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

Now it is the Gentiles turn for their year of salvation. Jesus comes with His disciples…His “angels”…His messengers to preach the Word of Truth that will deliver us from religious man’s vain commandments and traditions. The Gentiles worship of God is made up of vain commandments and doctrines of men. Nothing is different this time. History repeats itself. We are NO better than they. First the literal then the spiritual. As Gentiles, we are also warned against unbelief in the day of our salvation from religious man’s errors….deliverance from his prison. Will we also not know the “day of our visitation?”
Romans 11:18-23 KJV
(18) Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
(19) Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.
(20) Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
(21) For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.
(22) Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
(23) And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.

First the unbelieving Jew experienced the Day of wrath…..the unbelieving Gentile also WILL experience the Day of His wrath. Will we also be contentious with His Word of Truth when He comes? History repeats itself.

Romans 2:5-11 KJV
(5) But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;
(6) Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
(7) To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:
(8) But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
(9) Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
(10) But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
(11) For there is no respect of persons with God.

Literal Jerusalem was surrounded by the Roman armies and the literal temple was destroyed. Now it is our souls…our hearts…that are in danger if we will not believe in His Word of Truth in this last day FOR THE GENTILES. It is the “last days” for the GENTILES. The “last days” for the Jews was 2000 years ago. They are only to be grafted in again….for many of them will believe in His Word of Truth. The unbelieving Gentiles of the church will be “cut off” and the believing Jews grafted in again. It comes full circle.

The literal temple had the “abomination of desolation” within it. They were buying and selling in the literal temple…which is the sign of His “parousia.”

Luke 19:43-46 KJV
(43) For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,
(44) And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.

He came into the temple….He was near to it for judgment. It was no longer the day of salvation for He came into the temple….the Day of Wrath….to cast them out. He came with a whip as punishment. Then the Romans came and destroyed the literal temple shortly after.

(45) And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought;
(46) Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.

Likewise, today His “temple” is our hearts. WE are the temple of God where covetousness should not be.

1 Corinthians 3:16-17 KJV
(16) Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
(17) If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

(29) And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter.

I am enjoying your posts
According to a lexicon, it appears "little dogs/puppies" is the more better rendering. This paricular word is only used in relation to non-Jews it seems. Will have to look into this more

Strong's Number G2952 matches the Greek κυνάριον (kynarion), which occurs 4 times in 4 verses in the Greek concordance of the KJV

Matt 15:27 The yet she said "yea Lord! for even the little-dogs/kunaria <2952> eating from the crumbs, the ones falling from the table of the lords of them;"
[Mark 7:27/Luke 16:21]

Lazarus and the Rich Man - Here a little, there a little - Commentary

LUKE 16:20 "But there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, full of sores, who was laid at his gate,
21 desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table.
Moreover the dogs/kuneV <2965> came and licked his sores

When we hear the Word of Truth preached in this last day, the Seed that is sown in the hearts of those who will believe will bring forth the fruits of the Spirit so that the we may also receive the Lord Jesus Christ…..the Word of God…within our mouths. He shall be added to our tongues as the Word spoken in Truth. We are to wait patiently for the coming of the Lord as we establish our hearts in His righteousness. Religious man has been bogged down in envy, strife and hatred. He needs to hear the Word spoken in Truth so that he may produce fruits of the Spirit.

James 5:7-10 KJV
(7) Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.
(8) Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.

We are to not grudge against each other…but to have love for one another. Love is patient….it is kind….it is not rude…it is not envious…it is not boastful…it Is not proud.

(9) Grudge not one against another,brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.
(10) Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.

By doing this, then the day of Pentecost will have fully come. Pentecost is the feast of harvest. It is the feast we keep when we are all of one accord in one place….having love for one another. The first fruits of the Spirit harvest will have fully come.

Acts 2:1-4 KJV
(1) And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
(2) And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

Then God will send His Son to us who will give us a mouth that no enemy can gainsay or resist. He will make His messengers a flame of fire….speaking the Word of God in Truth and Spirit. We shall rightly divide the Word of God…..making our mouths a messenger of the Truth…..with cloven tongues. We shall be His “angels”….His messengers…who are sent out to reap others for God in the great harvest of men. Only when we have fully brought forth the fruits of the Spirit…love, peace, joy….will this take place.

(3) And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
(4) And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

He will give us a mouth and wisdom which ALL of our adversaries shall not be able to resist.

Luke 21:15 KJV
(15) For I will give you a mouthand wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.

He makes his ministers of the Word of Truth a flaming fire.

Psalms 104:4 KJV
(4) Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:

He will make us as the “angels of God in heaven”…..we will preach the Word of Truth to others in their hearing…..in the “heavens.” We will repeat what we will hear the Spirit saying in the Word of Truth.

Matthew 22:29-30 KJV
(29) Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
(30) For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

We shall “prophesy”…..we shall speak the Word of God with true understanding….and not in “tongues which means speaking the Word but not truly knowing what we are saying. We shall see “visions”….we shall understand the writings of the Bible. When religious man reads the Bible, his mind immediately forms a “vision” of how it should be. He sees ethereal scenes…fantastical images…with his fleshly mind. But religious man is asleep….he is dreaming. He will wake up and interpret those “visions.” We shall interpret the Scriptures as they were meant to be….in Christ Jesus who is the Truth…..by the Spirit.

Acts 2:17-19 KJV
(17) And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
(18) And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:

He will show wonders in heaven above.

(19) And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:

Many shall HEAR the wonderful works of God in their ears which are the wonders shown in the “heaven” above. We shall HEAR them in our ears above….in the “heavens.” In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. God is in the Word that we will hear in the “heavens” of the airways.

Acts 2:11-12 KJV
(11) Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.
(12) And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this?

And He shall show signs in the “earth” beneath. The preaching of the Word of God in the Spirit will show signs in the HEART of the hearing man….the “earth beneath.” When we will hear the Word of God spoken in Truth and Spirit, then our hearts shall “burn.” As it says in Luke 24…… Did not our hearts burn with us (the “fire” in the earth) while he TALKED with us by the Way and while he opened to us the Scriptures? The preaching of the Word of God in Truth comes not in word only but also in POWER. We won’t just merely hear it with our ears but will have the evidence of His power in our hearts….the signs in the “earth.”

Luke 24:32-36 KJV
(32) And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?
(33) And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,

The Lord shall appear to “Simon” which means “HEARING.” He shall appear in our hearing of the Word of Truth. He is the Word that we will hear.

(34) Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.
(35) And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread.

And as we speak His Word, Jesus himself stands in the midst of us. He is the Word that we will speak with our tongues. His Word shall give us peace.

(36) And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

The “signs” will be in the “earth”….the heart. Out of “heaven”…the airways of the hearing of man….we shall hear His voice. His voice is heard through the preaching of the Word in Truth and Spirit by His messengers. We shall hear His instruction…..to have love for one another. There is power in the Word. Upon the “earth”…the heart….He shall show His great fire. His Words shall make our hearts “burn.”

Deuteronomy 4:36 KJV
(36) Out of heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he might instruct thee: and upon earth he shewed thee his great fire; and thou heardest his words out of the midst of the fire.

The Word comes to us not in word only….but also in power. It makes our hearts “burn.” We shall have JOY within our hearts.

1 Thessalonians 1:5-6 KJV
(5) For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.
(6) And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost:

Those who will HEAR His Word will receive it with joy.

Luke 8:13 KJV
(13) They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.

But will they KEEP His Word within their hearts? Will they go on to bring forth fruit with patience? Will they patiently bring forth fruit in order to receive the Lord Jesus Christ….the tongue of the Word of Truth who God will send to those who have done so?


Luke 8:15 KJV
(15) But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it,and bring forth fruit with patience.

Thank you for a wonderful post.

Thanks for reading Underheaven and LittleLambofJesus!

I thought maybe I was babbling to myself here....lol!

God bless you both!

The speaking of the Word of Truth in this last day…Christ Jesus…shall provoke two responses in religious man.

One shall humbly receive what he has heard and will be exalted by God and another shall exalt himself in his covetous heart against the Truth but will eventually be humbled by God. The thoughts of many hearts will be revealed by the preaching of the Truth and the corresponding response of the tongue of man. He shall speak what is in his heart….whether it be good or bad. All shall be revealed. Christ is “for a sign which will be spoken against” so that they hearts of many may be revealed.

Luke 2:34-35 KJV
(34) And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against;
(35) (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.

This is what happened 2000 years ago. The “wicked” among the Jews were revealed…. “born” so to speak….as soon as Jesus spoke the Word to them.

Psalms 58:3-5 KJV
(3) The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.

The Pharisees opposed the words of Jesus….they were “antichrists”. This is why Jesus called them a “brood of vipers”……a “generation of vipers”. They came into being by the speaking of His words. They stopped up their ears from hearing the words of Jesus and spoke “poison” in return. The tongue is full of poison and is an unruly evil….as theirs was. The tongue is as a poisonous “serpent” that can strike others with lies and lead others astray away from the hearing of the Truth with their great swelling words of vanity.

(4) Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;

They would not hearken to Jesus. They would not believe.

(5) Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.

They had no “sin” until he came to speak to them. As soon as he spoke the Word of God to them in Truth, they were awakened to sin….to opposition…in their unbelief. The “sin” was to speak out against the Truth once they heard it. Like Cain, the Pharisees let sin rule over the “door” of their mouths. They did not overcome. The “man of sin” was revealed.

Genesis 4:7-8 KJV
(7) If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door.And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.

Their tongue was as “Cain’s” which means “ a spear” and they hated Jesus. They rose up against him with the “spear” of their tongues. “Abel” means “to become vain, act emptily”…..and the Pharisees considered Jesus’ words as such.

(8) And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.

The Pharisees were angry with Jesus without cause. They were in danger of the judgment … “hell fire”….because they considered Jesus as “Abel”….. “vain,empty”…. “thou fool.”

Matthew 5:21-22 KJV
(21) Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
(22) But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a causeshall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.

They were in ignorance of the Truth before. But when the time came, they did not believe what they heard Jesus speak because of the hardness of their own hearts. They did not believe Jesus nor did they believe what Moses wrote….for Moses wrote of Jesus. They honored not their fathers.

Exodus 23:20-22 KJV
(20) Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.
(21) Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.
(22) But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.

He came to speak to them and once they heard and opposed, they had “no cloke for their sin.” The “man of sin” was revealed by his outspokenness against the Word of Truth in the hearing of His Words. They became “THIS GENERATION”….an evil generation. They were “born” so to speak. The “wicked” were revealed….for the words of Jesus brought them out into the light for all to see. They hated the Word. They hated Jesus and the Father.

John 15:22-24 KJV
(22) If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.
(23) He that hateth me hateth my Father also.
(24) If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.

There is nothing covered that shall not be revealed by the preaching of the Word of Truth. All that is in the heart shall be revealed by the tongue…..for the mouth shall speak what is in the abundance of the heart. Whatever lurks within every heart shall be revealed….whether good or bad.

Luke 12:1-3 KJV
(1) In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
(2) For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
(3) Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.

“This generation” came into being at the preaching of Jesus. Jesus had warned about the coming Day of Judgment unto “this generation”….who had been born at the hearing of the Word of Truth.

Matthew 23:36 KJV
(36) Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.

God is patient though and not willing that any one perish. The Gentile church is about to repeat history….for the wicked “generation” will be generated again in the revelation of Jesus Christ in this last day. He will bring them to light for all to see. The tares will be separated from the wheat. The tares will bring forth their poisonous fruit. We shall know them by the evil fruit of their tongues.

2 Peter 3:9 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.

God has patience though. His great patience is during the coming Day of salvation….the acceptable year of the Lord...at the time of the preaching of the good news of the deliverance from religious man’s prison…his errors. But those who will speak out against the Word of Truth that they will hear with their ears….and speak evil of those who do receive it during this coming time….will just be storing up wrath for themselves for the Day of Judgment that will follow.

Matthew 24:34-36 KJV
(34) Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
(35) Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

But when this coming of this Day of Judgment will arrive no man knows. His messengers of the Truth will not know when the Day of salvation ends and the Day of Judgment begins. Their job is to just keep preaching the good news of salvation and enduring the evil-speaking resisters with patience.

(36) But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

His saints are to be patient….for God is patient also….not willing that any man perish but come to repentance and the acknowledgement of His Word of Truth.

2 Peter 3:8-9 KJV
(8) But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
(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.

The Pharisees were a “generation of vipers” that was born at the hearing of the Word of Truth. They could not speak good things but only the evil that came out of the abundance of their hearts. The “beast” ….their tongues….came up out of the “bottomless pit” of their hearts to make war.

Matthew 12:34-36 KJV
(34) O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
(35) A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.

“And there was war in heaven”….a war of words… that the Pharisees could not win. They could not resist or gainsay the words of Jesus but instead had to resort to hateful, false accusations in the end….a lying, accusing, back-biting tongue.

Revelation 12:7-9 KJV
(7) And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
(8) And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
(9) And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

They fought over the “body of Moses”….the writings of Moses. They (the dragon and his messengers) accused Jesus and his disciples (Michael and his angels) of breaking the Sabbath.

Matthew 12:1-2 KJV
(1) At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat.
(2) But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.

Matthew 12:2 KJV
(2) But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.

Matthew 12:10 KJV
(10) And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.

The Pharisees could not gainsay the knowledge of God as spoken and the miraculous works done by Jesus….and so they were “cast out” into the “earth”. Evil came out of their hearts as they turned from warring over the Law to falsely accusing him of having a devil. They could not win the war of words about Moses’ writings and so resorted to outright lies and false accusations.

Matthew 12:24 KJV
(24) But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.

How can Satan cast out Satan? No, it was “Michael and his angels” that cast out the Pharisees’ erroneous teachings (Satan and his messengers) out of the hearing ears of others.

Matthew 12:26 KJV
(26) And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?

The Pharisees were losing their position of authority in the “heavens” of many people’s ears. They were being “cast out” from their elevated positions over many people for many were listening, believing and following Jesus. The “stars” were falling from the “heavens” so to speak and they intensely resented this. Satan fell from heaven as lightning unto the “earth”.

John 12:19 KJV
(19) The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.

And when they found they could not win a war of words with Jesus, then they turned to evil accusations which came out of their hearts….the “earth”. A “rod” cast onto the “ground” becomes a “serpent”. They spoke unruly evil with their tongues because Satan was in their hearts. …the “earth”. They had great wrath….for they knew their time was short. The tongue becomes a serpent upon the evil heart. We are to flee from rendering evil for their evil that they will speak.

Exodus 4:3 KJV
(3) And he said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before it.
