Matthew Chapter 24 Discussion Page 39

Wherever there is a dead body,there the journalists or reporters eagles will gather, and all of us see it nearly everyday, simultaneously through Global Telecommunications like a lightning flash illuminating the entire sky . Not the "one on one " personal situations of Jesus 's age.

The fig tree is a symbol of Israel s prosperity as a nation. In the case of the withered fig tree Matthew 21 19 , it pictures a nation living in blindness and unbelief, until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in Rom. 11 25 . Indeed, from the time of the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70, the nation has also been scattered and not in possession of the land until very recently. However, the parable of the fig tree in Matt. 24 32 35 shows an entirely different tree, one having tender branches and leaves beginning to bud, a reference to the nation beginning to prosper again. Jesus uses this as a sign, of sorts, to signify that all these things are near, even at the doors. When we see this sign, we are to know that summer is nigh. Summer is the time when figs bear fruit. Notice carefully the language. When we see the tree starting to bloom, we are to know that summer harvest is near, but not actually here yet. In the context of Israel and the end times, summer must be the millennial kingdom, when the nation is again thriving in the land. That will not happen again until after the return of Christ. Cr. James Hollandsworth

Jesus wants His children to be ready for the rapture, and not to be caught by surprise, like those who are unsaved. His admonition to Christians is emphatic watch for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come 24 42 . He warns His disciples in vs. 43 44 of the possibility of living in unfaithfulness, resulting in shock and surprise at the rapture, experiencing the Son of man s coming in the clouds as a thief arriving in the night. Faithful servants are not taken by surprise. While they don t know the hour, they are ready for the rapture, regardless. Cr. James Hollandsworth Thief in the Night Rapture or Second Coming

When soul departs from the body in the name of Jesus Christ.Jesus Christ receives good souls himself.

The rapture is very real, 1 Thessalonians 4 12 thru 18. Those who have taken on the name of Jesus Christ by following Acts 2 38 and continuing living a saved life they will experience the rapture. This is the hope of finding true peace. The scripture states that in Job 14 1 Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble. Test and trials will come into a person life how we are able to endure is through the power of Jesus Christ. Those who have taken on this name through the shedding of his blood by following Acts 2 38 will find true peace after the rapture has taken place. Right now we have a since of peace knowing that if we continue living a saved life after following Acts 2 38 then we will make the rapture. It does not matter if we die in Jesus Christ or alive and remain in Jesus Christ we will go up when he comes back.

Matthew 24 7

I invite everybody for discussion about Second coming of Jesus Christ for solving their problems.

It seems that even though many hold these verses to be the or a cornerstone for the rapture, dialogue with other Bible scholars do not bring up the "rapture " in their discourse. Adam Clark 1825 states "The meaning seems to be, that so general should these calamities be, that no two persons ... should both be able to effect their escape and that captivity and the sword should have a complete triumph over this unhappy people. " No where in Clarks commentary does he say, "This is the lift off of the saints before Christs ' second coming. " So what are we to know, is there a "rapture " or is there not? I am still looking.

Jesus Receives good souls himself.

If we have any doubt, or if don 't know were to look for the signs of the times, all the instructions are given, also in Luc 21, but clear any one can understand.

Wealth and prosperity

Amos gives us further light on this for us in 3 5 Surely God will revele nothing but through His servants the prophets.

Jesus said that very truely i am saying,nobody can see the kingdom of god unless they are born again.it means that for see the kingdom of god,people will have to born again.These sentences shows the rebirth theory.

I believe that it means to be ready for Christ at anytime. Live your own life as an upright practicing Christian and never failing in faith. Life is not promised but salvation is and we must keep the faith and be a good example.

Jesus said when you see all these things know that his coming is AT THE DOOR. His coming will be sudden!! There won 't be any time to repent and turn around. God help all of us to know his word so we won 't be deceived. We who know the MASTER must be prepared. So many are not and do not knowJESUS. Press into HIM. Let us not be one of those his angels do not call.

Could it be that Yeshua is speaking of himself? Follow me on an adventure threw the passages that he himself wrote. " John 12 28 " " Revelation 12 5 " " Luke 17 20 37 " " Matthew 24 28 " In John 12 28, does not the word "again " mean more than once? Wayward Son Kansas And which generation is he speaking of that will not pass? Could it be this one? And the word carcase is spelled in singular form, not plural. And they asked him... "where Lord? And he answered them and said...for wheresoever the "carcase " is...singular, not plural. You don 't need a map or a GPS device to figure this out. Yeshua tells ya flat out that he will return "again " in the flesh and die a "second time " and be glorified... "again! " What 's so hard to figure out? Ever wondered what happened to the "man child " in Revelation 12 5? There 's your answer. Just as The Father said to The Son...Carry on my wayward Son, they 'll be peace when you are done, lay your weary head to rest, don 't you cry no more...NO!

Sunday never was, isn 't and never will be the Sabbath. Yeshua was a Rabbi who taught the Law Torah of his G d. Yeshua can 't change G d 's everlasting decrees. G d is not a man that He should lie, nor the son of man that He should repent.

The signs of wars, and rumors of wars, as well as kingdoms rising against kingdoms have always been. The major sign now is pestilence such as Ebola that is mostly in West Africa is a sign of a pandemic that will be worldwide. These are the birth pains that Jesus was talking about, and as a woman has more frequent pains the closer she gets to delivery tells us that we are very close to the second coming. People need to turn to the Lord for salvation, before the Day of the Lord comes. Whoso ever will call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Every thing that happend aroun the world, is acording to Matthew 24.

Matthew 24 40 Seems to be the way life is, it refers tolife and death we are here one day and gone the next.

The elect are God 's chosen thats Jews blacks christians asians and whites so long as you believe in Jesus and follow God 's commandments

I found this web page by accident while doing research for an article i 'm writting and needed a scripture verse to prove a fact. Finding this page and all that is written is mind boggling, it really is. I hope that Amilcar Portillo made it to the other side without any difficulty because the "elect " are Jews.They are the remnant of Israel that will escape God 's wrath during the tribulation. The only comment that came close to making any kind of sense is the one directly following the mindless comment made by this Portillo person.Chapter 24 is all Tribulation language.For those who do not understand what is taught it 's this, Christ 's 2nd coming has nothing to do with the rapture of the church or better still "the Body of Christ. " As far as Mr. fitzgerald 's comment it sounds like something that could have come out of Rome.If anyone finds these comments offensive then i suggest that this person read and study harder and if you do not understand something then ask someone for help. What ever you do, please, do not offer up comments on something of which you are totally ignorant of.

There are 3 seperations in the life of the truly elect of god, theres the seperation from other religions to christianity IE Islam, budism, hiduism etc. These are known as the called. The second seperation is the true elect of God from the fake or non elect. These are known as the chosen. The last seperation is the reserected soul, from the dead body of man. Everybody can agree on the first and last seperation but not on the second one. However very few will expeirience all 3 seperations. Remember, Many are called few are chosen. Where do you stand before God.

Who are the "elected "? If those are the Jews, I may as well pack up my bags and move to the other side since I got nothing to loose.

It is evident t that we are living in the beginning of sorrows. the wars the pestilence, Christians being slaughtered openly, T.v. evangelism filled with false prophets, even to the point of teaching witchcraft as a gospel doctrine.One cannot miss the truth that we are in the beginning of sorrows.

This is the time of the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. According to the verses of 1Thesalonians 4 16and 17, clearly we can understand that the dead in Christ at first and then the remaining God 's children alive still will rise up to meet Him in the air. So that the carcase, here, stands for Our Lord Jesus Christ and the Eagles for all saints.

Dear Wayne Fitzgerald With all humility, I will attempt to correct edify you regarding the mystery of the rapture. Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will not subject His own body The members of His Church, the body of Christ in which the Holy Spirit dwells to His wrath. Why would our Lord subject His own body to His own wrath? I believe our Lord did not reveal His mystery to us until "recently " I hear 1800s because it was not relevant. Our Lord gives us tremendous insight regarding the rapture THROUGHOUT Psalms and many other books OT NT . A few random verses pertinent to the rapture Isaiah 57 1 The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come. Jeremiah 23 20 The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly. also see Jeremiah 30 24 1 Thessalonians 5 9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, Study Psalms 18 for ALL it worth. Also, see Psalms Chp 4, verse 11, which informs us that we are being tracked via GPS satellite technology via our cell phones, GPS, On star etc. Very informative. Would love you have Bible study with you some time. May our Lord bless you with all spiritual wealth. Peace

People today have alot of hate in their hearts .God warns us to love one another.God warns that when we see these things come to pass, look up for your redemption draweth near,even at the door.We need to repent and let the Holy Ghost have His way in our heart.

it is amazing that people can read Matt. 24 and not read the answer of when Jesus returns, after the tribulation, v 29 30. The doctrine of the rapture was brought to earth by evil angles and almost all accept it, but Gods children will not accept that false doctrine because the Holy Spirit and study protects them

Well saint 's, if the day 's are shorten for the elect who could make them longer. Why the unelected, if they would change there thought and intentions to something more ethical, moral,or spiritual life would change. It is only the good and perfect gift that comes from above, why are some under control of the ground. We need more from above, our higher nature in higher.
