Christ Singular Second Coming

 This is the time than ever before, were false Christs, prophets, false doctrines, and wonders will arise up in order to destroy the solid foundation of Jesus Christ teaching. In this teaching I will demonstrate other words that are employed to Christ singular second coming, but before I begin the teaching, I wanted to go back to the book of Daniel (9:24) when God said to Daniel [Seventy weeks"] is determine upon thy people.

 This part of the prophecy of [ "Seventy weeks" ] were the seventy periods of exactly seven years, of 490 years that became literal. There would be 69 sevens (483 years) from the command to [ rebuild Jerusalem] until [ the coming of Messiah ]. Daniel (9:25) Afterwards the city of Jerusalem and the sanctuary [ the temple ] would be destroyed. Dan (9:26)

  The key in this part of the prophecy to observe is the command [ to rebuild Jerusalem ] until the [ coming of Messiah ]. Notice that in this text is talking about [ rebuilt, or restoration ]. The first temple was built by king Solomon, not rebuilt or restore. The temple that Daniel is referring is the second temple in this part of the prophecy and the first coming of the Messiah. Now why it is so important to go on detail in this part of the prophecy? because this is one of the false doctrine that has been arise up in the church of Christ, were many believers has been teaching that the first Seven years of Daniel the church will be Rapture, and Christ will return Seven years later to get those left behind in the third coming. Another reason why it is so important to comprehend this true, is because there will be a false Christ that will arise up to do false signs and wonders. He will declare to the world that he is the Messiah.

 In the bible God said that my people perish because of the lack of knowledge. The Lord Jesus before He was crucify, He was in Jerusalem. In (Mt 24:2) the Lord said to His disciple: "Assuredly, I say to you, not one stone shall be left here upon another, that shall not be thrown down. The question in this text, which city and temple Jesus prophecy the destruction? The destruction is in agreement with Daniel prophecy. This part of the prophecy was fulfilled when the Romans destroyed the city of Jerusalem and the second temple in 70 A.D.

 The other part of the prophecy of Daniel's final Seven year period ( or 70th week) is recorded in (9:27) of the book of Daniel. What are the event involve of Daniel final Seven years? The first is a covenant with Israel, of peace and security agreement. The second is the great falling, or the apostasy. In the land of Israel there is a organization that is working to train priest to make sacrifices and the preparation of the furniture (the pieces) for the altar. There is no need for that because Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice on the cross. The church of Christ out of 6 to 7 worship songs, maybe one time the name of Jesus and the work of the cross is mentioned. The name of Jesus Christ in most churches has been excluded and less exalted. The work of the Holy Spirit has been avoided in most churches. Could that be the exact great falling away the apostle Paul wrote in (2 Tess. 2:3)? The answer is yes.

 The church of Christ are to remember that God said that at the name of Jesus every tongue and knees will bow down and confess that Jesus is the Lord. The issue is not the name of God, Lord, Immanuel, Jehovah Shalom, and any other name the scripture will refer to the sovereign Lord of the universe, but if Jesus Christ will be exalted, worship,and accepted as the Lord and savior. The third event is the reconstruction of the third temple. The third temple is the preparation for the fourth event, which is the arise of the world ruler call the Anti Christ. The bible does not give us name who he is, and how he look like, but the bible teach us where and when the Anti Christ will be reveled.

  The Lord Jesus reveled to His disciples of the Abomination of Desolation recorded in (Mt 24:15). Notice that this important event are also parallel to Daniel (9:27). The Anti Christ will show up right in the middle of the last Seven years of Daniel. He will be in Jerusalem at the temple causing the great tribulation, which is the persecution to the faithful remnant Jews. The fifth event is tied together is the two witness in the land of Israel. They will be proclaiming the word of God, and their duration of their ministry is the exact 1,260. (Rev. 11:3)

  The singular Christ second coming is very important to be comprehend, because there will be a false coming of Messiah, who will perform signs and wonders as well. The word coming is the Greek word [ Paraousia ]. However there is other three word that are employed to Christ second coming, and it is very important to comprehend this true. The first word is the Greek word [ erchomai ] translated coming. The Lord Jesus said in (Mt 16:28) " Assuredly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming [ erchomai ] in His kingdom.

  The second word employed is [ apokalypsis] translated coming or revelation. Its basic meaning is to disclose or bring to light. There is a disclosure bringing light of the Lord Jesus by men who were under the controlling influence of Holy Spirit. When the Apostle John wrote the rest of the end time prophecy in (Rev 1:10) he was in the [Spirit ] on the Lord's Day. The apostle John was the scribe, but the Author of the book of Revelation  is the Lord Jesus. (Rev 1: 1).  The Apostle Paul wrote in (1 Cor. 1:7) so that you come short in no gift eagerly waiting for the revelation [ apokalypsis, coming] of our Lord Jesus Christ.

 The final word is [epiphaneia] is indicating a visible manifestation of a hidden deity. It could be either in person or by some great act through which his presence is reveled. The bible indicates that Christ will come with great glory and power in the old and new testament it is written. The Apostle Paul wrote in (2 Tim. 4:1) this way: I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing [ epiphaneia] and His kingdom.

 These three different words that are employed in connection with Christ singular second coming, many believers has interpreted as to prove two separate comings. The Greek word echomai [coming], apokalypsis [coming or revelation], and epiphaneia [ appearing] are not describing two comings, they are words employed to describe different aspects of Christ's singular coming. The word [ Paraosia] coming use by the disciple in (Mt 24:3) is evident that they clearly understood that there is only one second coming. The Greek word Paraousia is translated [Para] mean with, and [ousia] mean being. It is an arrival of the consequent presence with.

 There is two different comings and a very careful observation must be done. The bible recorded an arrival, coming or [Paraousia] of the world ruler who will declare to the world that he is the Messiah. (2 Thess 2:9) he will performed miracles and signs, that even the elect will deceive if possible. He will make fire come down from heaven according to (Rev 13:13). The second arrive is recorded in (Lk 21:25-28) the stars will fall down compare to (Rev 6:12-13) the sun and the moon meaning that Jesus will not touch the earth, there is the preparation set up with the cosmic for His coming.The apostle Paul also wrote that Christ will come as thief in the night, meaning that no one will not know the exact day and hour.

 A thief never tell  the victim when  is the time he will perform his duty to steal. Also, anyone who has been robbed knows that a thief goal is to steal as quit as possible and then disappear. That is the idea of the Rapture, it is true that the word Rapture has never appear in the bible, because this word come from the Latin [ Raptus ] meaning " a dragging or taking away, a violent rending. The new testament was translated into the Greek language. The two [ Paraousia ] are different and one is to perform Satan works or duties, and the other one is to accomplished two purpose to Rapture the church, and to judge the wicked.

 Dear Friend:

  The time is getting near of the second coming of the false Messiah, and the truth Messiah. The bible has been written over 2,000 years and has been carefully preserve until this generation. The Lord could not be in error, when He declare specific events that must happen before He come. It is important for the church of God to be faithful to Christ, and to continue the proclamation of the gospel until the end.  If you are reading this massage and are not save, this true will not make any different until you personally asked the Lord Jesus Christ to save you, cleanse you from all of your sin, and to come into your life and be your Lord and savior.



A Clear Understanding Of God Grace

 The meaning of God grace has been miss interpreted  in most of the churches. The idea behind the scene has brought to our modern christian culture an error of the gospel. Is the idea that a child of God can constantly walk in disobedience toward God,because we live under His grace, and not under the law. This is a very dangerous believe system that can destroy relationships with God,and others, and ultimately will affect the calling of the ministry. The truth is yes we live under God grace, yes is true we are not living under the law, but we are still missing the Lord's point.

  The church of Christ are to be set apart, in another word sanctify by God. The Lord Jesus before He accomplished His ministry to die for the sins of the world, He pray this important prayer in (John 17:14-19). "Sanctify them by your truth. Your word is truth. "As you sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. "And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth. The most important part of this massage is to be able to understand, that part of God grace for the church of Christ, is for Him to be able to set us apart, or sanctify us if you prefer so we can walk in His truth. The (V19) when is saying [They also may be sanctified by the truth], mean to be set apart, or separated from anything that is not true, false or counterfeit from God's direction.

   The church of Christ has a calling to walk in holiness. We have the responsibility to guard our conduct to those that are watching us. Weather or not the world accept our testimony, we still have the calling to proclaim the gospel. Our conduct say more than words, will a child of God be perfect? The answer is no. One thing the Lord expected is that when He point out a sin, He want our willingness to confess it and to turn away from it. This is the gap that most modern christian culture churches are preaching, they confess their sins but on and on continue to walk in disobedience toward God. This is the most critical part of the grace of God, that is been preach in most churches.

  The grace of God become in their meaning to get a  license to sin every time they want to, because God will forgive them from all of their sins, that they do on purpose. The bible call that kind of walking prideness and arrogancy. In the book of Samuel there is an important view between this two men. In (1 Sam 13: 13-14) King Saul was chosen by God to reign because the people asked for a king. However God answered their petition, lets make a close observation what this men of God did. In chapter (13:13-14) And Samuel said to Saul, "You have done foolishly. You have not kept the commandment of the Lord your God, which He commanded you. For now the Lord would have established your kingdom over Israel forever. But now your kingdom shall not continue. The Lord has sought for himself a man after His own heart, and the Lord has commanded him to be commander over His people, because you have not kept what the Lord commanded you".

  What causes God to decided not to even answer to Saul request prayer? The answer is his arrogancy and disobedience toward God. He clearly knew what God asked him to do, and still choose to walk in rebellion toward God. Even he was living under the law, God still show Saul His grace and gave him the opportunity to continue to do his task. Saul decision still was to walk in disobedience toward God, into a point that the Lord decided not to use him any longer to do other important assignment. In chapter 14:35 we can see how he was walking spiritually in the sight of God. Remember that he was anointing and his spiritual walk was not pleasing the Lord. (V35) Then Saul built an altar to the Lord. This was the first altar that he built to the Lord. In chapter 15 if we read the hole chapter we can see that he choose to disobey God. In (V 10,11) Now the word of the Lord came to Samuel saying "I greatly regret that I have set up Saul as king, for he has turned back from following Me, and has not performed My commandments". And it grieved Samuel and he cried out to the Lord all night.

  The arrogancy caused Saul not to be used by God, because he decided to sin against God knowing exactly what God asked him to do. His disobedience bring a lot of consequences he was rejected by God to serve Him, his son did not became king, and his daughter became unfruitful to race descendant. The Lord choose David because even then God knew that he was going to sin against Him, the Lord saw a humble heart and willingness to turn away from the sin. The king David was willing to obey God at any cost. The king David understood that God grace was not meant to continue to walk in his transgressions. This is a men after God heart, he understood his sinful nature. In (Roman 3:23) For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. He clearly understood that because he confess in Psalm 51:5 that he was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin his mother conceived him.

   It is so interested that David clearly understood that the Lord will not accept any burnt offering and sacrifice until he truly repent from his sin. The Psalm 51:16-17 said: For you do not desire sacrifice, or else I would give it; you do not delight in burnt offering. (V17) The sacrifices of God are a broken Spirit, a broken and contrite heart - These, O God, you will not despise. He understood that he would not prosper in his life until he made the commitment not to just confess the sin, but to turn away from it. In (V 12,13) Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me by your generous Spirit. Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, And sinners shall be converted to you.

Dear Friend:

 The grace of God is not meant to be that I can sin against God knowing that He is pointing out a specific sin that most need to be confess it and to turn away from it. The grace of God is not meant to be to justify my sinful conduct, but an opportunity to use His grace to asked the Lord Jesus Christ to forgive me for all of my sins and plead him not to allow me to fall into temptation.

The Glorious Hope

  In the same way people in the old testament, for the first coming of the Messiah, the church of Christ should be waiting for that future Hope. The prophecy of His first coming were full filled. He came as a Lamb, and die for the sins of the world on the cross. In His second coming which is in the new testament, the church should be looking forward for that glorious hope.

  This should not be a time for distress, but a time for celebration of that future hope. The Apostle Paul wrote in (Rom 5:2-5) through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance: and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now hope those not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

  The power of rejoicing during time of trouble will be strenght to our hope. It will help us to look forward to that future hope of His coming. The Apostle Paul wrote (Philiphian 4:4) to rejoice always in the Lord. The time of trouble will always bring an opportunity to trust the Lord. The (V2) the text demonstrate that the believer has access by faith into His grace. The time of trouble help us to persevere during difficulties in life. In (V3) the text demonstrate to help the believers, to maintain our non negotiated conviction and to stand firm no matter what. The time of trouble give you a living hope, that something good will come out and that is our intervention from God.

  The glorious hope always speak about the deliverance of the believer in trouble time. The more is our affliction, the greater is our deliverance. If we remember, when Israel was in Egypt, they were in slavery, mistreated, and afflicted. As soon as they cry out to God, the Lord descended to respond their prayer and to deliver them. The bible teach that our glorious hope is the Lord Jesus. That is exactly what He will do in His second coming. He will descend from heaven, and He will deliver His people.

The Nature Of The Curse

 The decision of obeying God will always bring blessing. In chapter 28 of  Deuteronomy, the Lord communicate to Moses the blessing or the cursing for those who choose to obey or disobey the Lord. The two primary reason of divine judgment Curse, is for the abandonment and disobedience towards God's command.

  In Malachi chapter 3:7-9 Yet from the days of yours fathers you have gone away from My ordinances and have not kept them. Return to Me, and I will return to you, says the Lord of hosts. "But you said, In what way shall we return? (V8) "Will a man rob God? Yet you have robbed Me! But you say, "In what way have we robbed you? In the tithes and offerings. [ You are Cursed with a Curse, for you have robbed Me, Even this whole nation]. The Lord communicate in (V7) two things: They have gone away, [meaning abandonment] and did not kept them. [meaning disobedience].

  The Curse never come by obeying God command, but by man disobedience toward God. The book of Malachi has a very important spiritual principle and application for God's chosen people. The church of Christ is God's chosen people in the same way as the people of Israel. There are two different type of Curses for believer and none believer. Every child of God has been promised eternal salvation, in (Rom 8:1) There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. The believer that is not walking in obedient, cannot be Curse to experience eternal separation. However the believer that is not walking in obedience cannot experience the blessing of His  Joy, His peace, His supernatural intervention in trouble time, and will experience spiritual and physical poverty. Notice that God mentioned this type of Curse, to His chosen people who knew Moses law and the command. In (V7) God said to them to return to Him and He will return to them. It is clear that He was speaking to those who knew His truth.

  The other type of Curse is the one that the wicked people will experience for rejecting the salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. In (Mt 25:41) Then He will also say to those on the left hand, Depart from Me, [You Curse] into everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels. This type of Curse is eternal separation for not obeying the gospel.

  The Curse it is a divine judgment and only God is assign to send His judgment. The believer in Christ are not commanded to Curse anyone, but to bless those who do wrong to us. In (Mt 5:44) "But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who Curse you, do good to those who hate you and persecute you. We are to reflect God's glory no matter were we are. The book of Jame speak of our wrong behavior and use of the tongue. The Apostle Jame speak of the tongue in (3:9-10) saying: With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we Curse men, who have been made in the similitude of God. (V10) Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so.  

  Every time a believer choose to walk in disobedience toward God, that is a powerful weapon for Satan to steal their blessing. He knows that he cannot take away your salvation, but he knows how can he destroy your testimony into a point were God cannot use you into a specific task that God want to get done through you. He not only can destroy your testimony, but he is always looking reason to accuse you in the presence of God. It is better not to give him any reason.

 The wicked people practice this type of blasphemy that Jame speak of the wrong use of their tongue, because they are in darkness, and dead in their transgressions. In (Rom 3:13-14) "Their throat is an open tomb, with their tongues they have practiced deceit; "The poison of asps is under their lips, (V14) "Whose mouth is full of Cursing and bitterness. The Apostle Peter speak of their nature (2 Pet 2:14) having eyes full of adultery and that cannot cease from sin, enticing unstable souls. They have a heart trained in covetous practices, and are accursed children.  

 When a child of God choose to obey Him, they will experience His supernatural intervention because God is always faithful to those who walk in obedient. I like to share my testimony with His provision. The Lord allow me to experience His supernatural intervention in my rent. I am unemploy since July, I did not know if I will have the rent money ready for the beginning of the month in this year. The unemployment check cover my rent, but does not cover the rest of my expenses. The Lord intervene in a supernatural intervention, He provide for my rent and to pay the rest of my expenses. He even gave me more than what I was expecting. This is the result of my obedient to bring my tithe and offering to the altar, and because I am walking by faith and not by sight, the Lord made that intervention and this miracle it can be prove that came from God.

Dear Friend:

 If you are a believer the only thing I can witness to you is that God is faithful, but there are requirement and that is our obedient to Him. If you are not a believer this massage will not do any good until you ask the Lord Jesus to come to your life save you, and be your Lord for ever.

The Conduct Of The Lord's Supper

The Lord's Supper it is mentioned in the four gospels, this is a celebration commanded by the Lord Jesus. There are three primary reasons for the Lord's Supper: The first one is to eat it in memory of Him. The gospel of (LK 22:19) "And He took bread, gave it to them, saying, "This is My body which is given for you;
do this in remembrance of Me".

  The second reason is for the proclamation. The Apostle Paul wrote to the church of (1 Cor 11:26) For as often as you eat the bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death till He comes.

 The third  reason is to participate in His trials. In  (Mark 10:38-40) But Jesus said to them, "You do not know what to ask. Are you able to drink the cup I drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? (V39) They said to Him, "we are able" so Jesus said to them,"You will indeed drink

 the cup that I drink, and with the baptism I am baptized with you will be baptized; (V40) "but to sit on My right hand and on My left is not Mine to give, but it is for those for whom it is prepared ".

 The doctrine of the Lord's Supper it is very important to remind and communicate to old and new believers, It is very important to take the Lord's  Supper and santify the Lord with reverence, and understand that this is a celebration were the church of God, are to come in purity and humble heart. It is very important to examine our walk with the Lord before eating the Supper. The Lord Jesus did not command to celebrate His birth date, but He did commanded to celebrate the Lord's Supper.

  The doctrine of the Lord's Supper is the key for our faith in Christ, because if Jesus did not rose from the death, then in vain we believe and in vain we are proclaiming the gospel. The Apostle Paul reprimanded the church of Corinthian for their behavior, and their abuse of taking the Lord's Supper in a unworldly manner. He begin teaching to the church of their narrow minded decision of their participation that are abomination to God. In (1 Cor. 110: 16-17,20-22) The cup of blessing which we bless, is it the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, it is not the communion of the body of Christ? For we, though many, are one bread and one body; for we all partake of that one bread.

(V20-22) Rather, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to have fellowship with demons. You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the Lord's table and of the table of demons. Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He? Many churches has foolish allow new and old believers to eat and drink the Lord's Supper by not announcing, their responsibility to come in a pure heart in their participation of this celebration.
The Apostle Paul saw the important to communicate to the church of Corinthian, that the Lord's Supper was not meant to be taking in an unworthy manner. The Apostle Paul let them know, one of the reason the church were experience sickness among them, and some of the reason why many were sleep because of their ignorance of their behavior. In (1 Corin. 11:27-30) Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. For this reason many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep.

 The church of Christ now days are not taking seriously this principle of God's moral of His holiness and the respect that He deserve. There are time, that God will allow sickness for a specific reason, in His plan He may allow it, so we can to depend on Him, and to transform us into His image. The other reason He may allow it because many decided to disobey His command. This is the time to auto examine yourself, and find out if this that the Apostle Paul wrote in his letter, are disobedience toward God by taking His Supper in an unworthy manner, or it is God plan to allow the sickness for a walking testimony.
Dear Friend:
I don't need to convince you what is right and wrong, If you are born again Christian the Holy Spirit will guide each believer to the truth. If you are not a believer, you must understand that this celebration can only be done by believer. In order to participate in this celebration you must need to receive Jesus Christ as your personal savior.
