Our Destiny and Great Privilege:

[keras]

This old world staggers along, from disaster to crisis, wars, earthquakes, storms, droughts, all now fairly normal occurrences. But God’s plans will soon come to fruition. The shocking and earth shattering Day of the Lord’s vengeance and wrath, the Sixth Seal worldwide disaster; will set the scene for a sequence of events, culminating in the Lord Jesus’ glorious Return. This next event will constitute the Lord’s judgement on Judah [the current inhabitants of Israel] and all the surrounding nations. Zephaniah 2:1-5

THEN, the entire holy Land will be regenerated and His people, the righteous Christian Israelites of God will come to live there, in peace and security. They; WE -will rebuild the Temple and prepare for the eventual Return of Jesus.

The nations:
Ezekiel 36:7 Therefore, says the Lord, the nations round about Israel will endure rebuke. Jeremiah 10:18, Romans 1:18, [the coming Day of the Lord’s wrath, resulting in the judgement of ‘the evil neighbours’. Jeremiah 12:14]

The Jews:
Jeremiah 7:20 I will pour out My anger on Judah, on man and beast, trees and crops – it will be unquenched. [The Land, virtually wiped bare] Zephaniah 1:14-18, Isaiah 29:1-4.

But the Lord says: only a short while, before He will regenerate it:

Ezekiel 36:8 But you, mountains of Israel, put forth your branches and yield fruit for My people, Israel, for their homecoming is near. [My people, all faithful Christians, gathered, judged and settled into all of the Promised Land. Ezekiel 20:34-35]

Ezekiel 16:52 It is you, Judah, that must bear the humiliation – for your sins have pleaded your sisters cause, your conduct is so much more abominable than theirs, that they appear innocent in comparison. Now you must bear your shame.
Ezekiel 16:53 I shall restore the fortunes of your sisters, Sodom and Samaria, [the 10 northern tribes of the House of Israel] and yours [the House of Judah] too at the same time.
Ezekiel 16:55 When your sisters become what they were of old, then your daughters will be restored likewise.
Ezekiel 16:63 You [Judah] will remember your conduct and be so ashamed and humiliated that you will never open your mouth again, once I have pardoned you.

Isaiah 40:1-5 Comfort My people, their term of bondage served – penalty paid.
Clear a road through the desert for the Lord, level the ground. Isaiah 40:31 Those who look to the Lord, will gain new strength

Isaiah 43:19 I am about to do something new. Through the wilderness I will make a way.

Micah 2:12-13 I shall assemble you, the whole House of Israel [all 12 tribes, plus those grafted in] herded like sheep. Now; every faithful Christian person.
Micah 4:6 I shall gather and restore the lost as a remnant, turned into a mighty nation.

Hosea 2:14-23 But now, I shall woo My people and lead them into the wilderness. I shall speak words of encouragement to them. I shall betroth you to Myself forever. Israel, [the Israelites of God, Galatians 6:16] will be My new sowing in the Land. I say- you are My people and they will say- you are our God. Romans 9:24-26

Isaiah 32:14-18 Houses are forsaken and streets deserted – the Land a waste to the delight of the donkeys and flocks.
Until the Spirit from on High is poured upon us, and then the wilderness will become garden land.
Justice and righteousness will prevail throughout the Land. My people will live peacefully, in secure homes.
Isaiah 32:19-20 Despite damage to vegetation and buildings, you will be blessed with ample water, crops and grazing land.

Isaiah 35:1-10 Let the wilderness be glad, the desert rejoice and flower. The Land will again show the glory of Lebanon, Carmel and Sharon, these will see the glory of the Lord.
Strengthen yourselves, say to those with fearful hearts- be strong. For your God comes to save you, with His vengeance and retribution. [Against your enemies]

Then the blind will see, the deaf hear, all disabilities cured. Water will flow in the desert, where jackals once roamed.
A highway will appear – called the way of Holiness. No unclean person will pass on it. Wicked fools cannot trespass on it. No dangerous beast will come there. But, by that way the Lords redeemed will return.
The Lords people, set free will come back and enter the Land with shouts of joy and triumph. Gladness and joy will come upon them –All suffering and sorrow will flee away.

Our Hope and our Destiny:

The Prophetic Word tells us how the Lord will save and protect His people during His terrible Day of wrath, the soon to happen Sixth Seal judgement of the nations.
Then we will be gathered and will migrate into all of the holy Land. Psalms 107, Ezekiel 34:11-16 and Isaiah 66:18b-21, Isaiah 35:1-10, Romans 9:24-26, are some of the best prophesies about this.

We Christians are the Lord's people, His chosen; John 15:18, 1 Peter 2:8-10, and we are the people; nation, who bear the proper fruit. Matthew 21:43.

We will, in the holy Land be His witnesses, Isaiah 43:10, John 15:27 and His Light to the nations. Isaiah 49:8, Acts 13:47, Ezekiel 39:27
Basically; there is no need for anyone, other than the 2 Witnesses to go to heaven, Revelation 11:12, and they do not stay there, as Jesus Returns just then and they are resurrected along with all the GT martyrs. Revelation 20:4

The whole idea of a rapture removal of Christians to heaven, is not part of God's plan for His people. Therefore, a body change is not necessary or logical, before the final wrap up after the Millennium and only then will all those whose names are written in the Book of Life, receive immortality and be with God for Eternity, when God and therefore heaven will be on earth. Revelation 21:1-7

So you believe the great tribulation of Matthew 24 is intended for Christians ?

So you believe the great tribulation of Matthew 24 is intended for Christians ?

I actually read and understand the Bible. Because of false beliefs, you have been made incapable of understanding the Prophetic Word. Isaiah 29:9-12, Jeremiah 4:22, Deuteronomy 29:4

From your comment above, it seems you think I must be Biblically illiterate.
Revelation 8 to 19 describes how the ungodly peoples will endure the Great Tribulation and when Jesus Returns, be annihilated.
Faithful Christians will pass safely thru it and be rewarded for their trust in the Lords protection.

Keras, you pump out the same bad interpretations again and again my friend....

Our Hope for the Future

It seems that there are as many views of what God has planned for the end of this age, as there are people who study the subject. But there is only one actual future for us and those who teach false theories will be judged more severely. James 3:1

Then there is the bulk of Christians, who just simply don’t want to know, or find the prophetic Word just too hard to comprehend.

In our Bible, we are told: God does nothing without revealing His plan to His servants. Amos 3:7 Paul says: We are not in the dark, the Day of sudden destruction will not come upon us like a thief. 1 Thessalonians 5:1-6

We see in 2 Thessalonians 2:11… God puts those who do not open their minds to the love of the truth, under a compelling delusion, which makes them believe what is false. Then in Isaiah 29:9-14, talking to us, that is: the Christian peoples, the Laodicean Church of today; we are…. pitiful wretches, we attend ‘church’ but our hearts are far from the Lord. Our worship is by rote and made up of rules taught from men. Therefore once more the Lord will astound His people, shock and amaze us.

Most of us won’t know His plans, because the wisdom of the wise will be removed and the discernment of the intelligent will be lost. Matthew 11:25



The Day is coming; When the wicked and godless will vanish and all who love evil will be cut down. Isaiah 29:20-21, Isaiah 66:15-17, Psalm 83, Rev. 6:12-17

Then: In that Day; the deaf will hear the words of scripture and the blinded will see through the impenetrable darkness. Isaiah 29:18 & 24 The lowly will once again rejoice in the Lord, as the Holy Land is regenerated into a fruitful garden Land. Ezekiel 36:8, Amos 9:13-15, Isaiah 35

That Day of fire and tempest, Malachi 4:1-3, is not a Day for all who believe in the Lord to panic or be frightened, for Righteousness will rise among them, as the Lord heals the wounds [of spiritual and physical exile, Ezekiel 37] inflicted upon His people. Isaiah 30:25-30, Zephaniah 3:8-10, Revelation 7:9-17, Luke 21:26-28



This is what we look forward to, our great hope for the future:

Ezekiel 34:11-16 Now, [that is: soon after the Day of the Lord’s wrath against the nations] I, Myself will search for and gather My people, I will rescue them for wherever they are scattered after that Day of cloud and darkness. I shall lead them out of the nations, Micah 2:12-13, Psalms 107, Isaiah 35 and bring them home to their own country. I shall make a Covenant with them to ensure peace and prosperity and they will have good leaders. Ezekiel 34:23-31, Jeremiah 30:21, Hosea 1:11

After they are settled, Jeremiah 30 & 31, the Lord will summon Gog to come down from the north and invade the Land recently restored from ruin, whose people are gathered from many nations and are now settled and prosperous. Ezekiel 38:8
This is in order for the Lord, through His people, to show Himself great and holy to the nations. Ezekiel 38:16

Later, the Leader of the One World Government, a ten region confederation, Daniel 7:24, Rev 17:12-13, will come to the new nation of Beulah, Isaiah 62:1-5, and make a seven year treaty of peace with them. Daniel 9:27, He will break it at the mid-point and invade Beulah. Zechariah 14:1-2

Those people who refused to agree to a treaty with the leader of the OWG, will be taken to a place of safety for the final 3 ½ years of this age. Revelation 12:14
Those who did agree, Isaiah 28:14-15, must remain. Zephaniah 14:1-2, Revelation 12:17

But this conquest of the holy Christian peoples, Daniel 7:25, Revelation 15:5-8, will trigger the Great Tribulation trumpet and bowl punishments.

Then; 1260 days later, the Lord Jesus will Return, destroy those attackers of Jerusalem, bind up Satan and commence His Millennial reign.
