Peace in Christ.
Behold, He comes QUICKLY….that is, shortly…WITHOUT DELAY. For yet a little while, He that IS COMING shall arrive….and will NOT TARRY…that is, will NOT DELAY.
Rev 22:12
(12) And, behold, I come quickly (WITHOUT DELAY); and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
His life is to be made manifest in our mortal flesh. We are to manifest His PRESENCE in our mortal bodies to the people of the outside world (the saved people) who then will be drawn to Him. He shall not delay as it will happen. We shall not mortally perish until we see it.
Yet, the scoffers in the man-based churches (when they will hear the Word of Truth) will come forth and scoff: “where is the PROMISE of His coming (presence)?”
Coming = PRESENCE (Greek: Parousia= presence.) They think and preach that Jesus is DELAYING HIS COMING.
They are of the people of the “prince that SHALL COME”…that is, delaying his coming. They are the ones actually preventing His manifest life from appearing in this world so that it could be saved.
2Pe 3:3-4
(3) Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
(4) And saying, Where is the promise of his coming (PRESENCE)? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
But and if that evil servant (we have all been "evil servants" because we have all been part of/partakers of the man-based churches) shall say in his heart that the Lord DELAYS HIS COMING when they will hear the truth of the gospel….the Word of Truth…the good news of our salvation in our mortal bodies. They will scoff in their unbelief: "where is the promise of His presence?"
Mat 24:
(48) But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
They will persecute those who are preaching otherwise….and many will join along with them in their evil words and deeds towards what they will hear.
(49) And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
His fellowservants are those who reveal His life in their mortal flesh....the revealing of the Son of man. They will preach that Jesus IS COMING in the flesh...our mortal flesh.
We must be ready...watching at all times for the Son of man (one of His fellowservants) will come in such an hour we think not. We do not know when we shall cross paths with a person who has the Son of man manifested. We must let brotherly love continue at all times.
Mat 24:44 KJV
(44) Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
We ...the believers of His Word of Truth...shall be persecuted by the unbelievers in the man-based churches who will continue to think that the Lord DELAYS His coming when He does not delay as He said: behold, I come quickly…without delay.
We must not cast away our confidence in our faith of the Word of Truth that has illuminated our minds. We shall be persecuted by the “evil servants” who think that the Lord delays His coming.
After we have done the will of God, we shall receive the “promise”…the promise of His presence made manifest. There is a great recompence of reward…..for we shall receive the promise of His presence now in this mortal body which will then attract the people of the outside world who will see Him through us.
Heb 10:35-37 KJV
(35) Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.
(36) For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
For yet a little while, He that IS COMING shall arrive….and will NOT TARRY…that is, will NOT DELAY (in contrast to the preaching of the man-based churches that say that He IS DELAYING His coming.)
(37) For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.
Let us HEAR the Word and ENDURE in our faith of it in the face of the persecutions of those who are in the man-based churches whom we once loved and participated in, We shall be persecuted by those whom we were once close to…..and it will not be pleasant.
Mat 13:20-21 KJV
(20) But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;
Some will endure for a while but when the tribulation or persecution arises because of their faith in the Word, they are IMMEDIATELY tripped up…falling away immediately from that faith.
(21) Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.
The Just One shall live by faith. He shall arrive and will not delay. "Behold, I come quickly."
We must not “draw back” to the man-based churches in fear of the persecutions that shall arise. Let us not draw back unto perdition.
Our soul shall be persecuted by them…but we are to believe to the saving of the soul as when He arrives ….His presence is made manifest in our mortal flesh…then our soul shall rejoice immensely.
Heb 10:38-39 KJV
(38) Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
(39) But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.
Let us repent (change our minds) and be converted….turn back to the living God…so that our sins may be blotted out so that the times of refreshing shall come from the PRESENCE/Face of the Lord. He will send Jesus Christ to each one of us as His life...His presence...shall be made manifest in our mortal bodies. Others shall then see His face as we shall reflect Him to others.
Greek: prosōpon = face, countenance
Act 3:19-20 KJV
(19) Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence ( prosōpon =face or countenance)of the Lord;
(20) And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:
We must turn from idols…the images that are being served in the man-based churches…to serve the living and true God….the living and true Judge.
The “images” are their church handwritings of ordinances (such as “statements of faith”) that they are keeping in order to self-govern and judge with rather than keeping and serving the commandments of God that is within us. They are using/serving their images to JUDGE others with supposedly in the name/authority of God. "Little children, keep yourselves from idols". These things lead us to our mortal death. Those who are serving their images are practicing THE lie of the serpent.
1Th 1:9-10 KJV
(9) For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols (IMAGES) to serve the living and true God;
We must depart from their churches…turning to God from their images.
Behold, I come without delay. We are to wait for His Son from Heaven whom God will send to us after we have done His will. God already raised Him from the dead so that we might have His life NOW which delivers us from the wrath to come….death. He that IS COMING shall arrive and NOT DELAY.
(10) And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.
We must be not unequally yoked together with the unbelievers…..the man-based churches as they will not believe in the Word of Truth when they will hear it. What agreement does the temple of God have with “idols”…with their IMAGES?
We MUST come out from among the man-based churches (who are keeping and serving their images and will not believe in the Word of Truth when they will hear it).
We must come out from among them (who are "dead" in their trespasses and sins") and be separate from them so that He receives us. He will dwell in us and walk with us and we shall be His people. He will be our God...our living and true Judge. We shall no longer serve their "images"...their "other gods" that they made to keep and serve...to judge others with.
2Co 6:14-18
(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 (IMAGES)? 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.
(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.
Behold, He comes QUICKLY….that is, shortly…WITHOUT DELAY. For yet a little while, He that IS COMING shall arrive….and will NOT TARRY…that is, will NOT DELAY.
