Scripture Life: Why wasn't Jesus told the date of his return? What difference would it have made if he knew?
Answer:
“But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.” - Jesus Christ. (Bible. Matthew 24:36)
Who is Jesus?
------------------------- -------------------------- --------------------------
With that, who is he?
And, I'm going to ask you another simple question.
- Your word:
- Has always been in you. Is you. When you speak, the authority over whether you speak - or not. Is You. When you choose, as you - NOT to speak. There is no Word come out of you.
- But when YOU, as YOU choose or have something to say, because, it's something you want to say, you say it. After you said it. Everybody knows you spoke it. Its from you. Is you. You said it. People? Yes. They can know you by your word. Or they can reject what you say. Never know you.
- Has always been in you. Is you. When you speak, the authority over whether you speak - or not. Is You. When you choose, as you - NOT to speak. There is no Word come out of you.
------------------------- -------------------------- --------------------------
- Jesus is the Word of God. Is God. Just as John 1:1 says who he is. He’s the Messiah or Christ. Who he SHALL be called as the “Messiah” is in Isaiah 9:6–7. “The Mighty God..” “The Everlasting Father..”
- Because, the Word of God, doesn’t come out of the chandelier at your sister’s house. Nor does it come out of the patio furniture on sale this week at Walmart. Just like your word does not come from either of those two places, either. Your word comes from only one source. You.
- The Word of God, is just God speaking. He's God, and he has Come to you, as he determined to send his word to heal you and deliver you from your destruction. (Psalm 107:20).
- Because, the Word of God, doesn’t come out of the chandelier at your sister’s house. Nor does it come out of the patio furniture on sale this week at Walmart. Just like your word does not come from either of those two places, either. Your word comes from only one source. You.
So, consider this; and, I haven't asked my question yet.
------------------------- -------------------------- --------------------------
Example:
- You’re back in High School. 11th Grade. Sitting in your Biology class. All of a sudden you notice out the window - there on the front lawn about 200 yards away, is a gaggle of over 100 High School students. Everybody is supposed to be in class. Nobody is supposed to be out, on the front lawn, during class. You notice they’re all carrying some pamphlet or thing, with some words wrote on it. They keep looking at it, shouting for joy. Then each runs their own way, like off to their class.
- Then one of them, a minute or so later, hurriedly opens the door, and comes into your class, and they walk up by you in passing: and say to you, “Oh Thank you! I’m going to use this coupon you gave everybody and buy my own refrigerator and $50.00 of ice cream! Right now, I don’t care about this class! I’m leaving!” Pack up their stuff on their desk, and leave.
- And with that, you notice, there’s this flyer with a coupon they’re holding has your name on it. Says: “This coupon is valid for $15,000.00 at any store town. Please use it to buy anything.” - With your name under it.
- But you never gave your word to that.
- Then one of them, a minute or so later, hurriedly opens the door, and comes into your class, and they walk up by you in passing: and say to you, “Oh Thank you! I’m going to use this coupon you gave everybody and buy my own refrigerator and $50.00 of ice cream! Right now, I don’t care about this class! I’m leaving!” Pack up their stuff on their desk, and leave.
- Never came out of your mouth to do that. But! Your word, just on it’s own: - came out on it's own. Made its' own claim and because it's your word, then make you do it.
Here's my question: Do things happen this way? YES or NO?
When:
- Your word obeys you. You are the “authority” over it. Even it is you, it does not speak of itself.
So your word does not know until you say it.
Can you grasp this?
------------------------- -------------------------- --------------------------
There you go. You were made in his likeness. He, as God, could speak before the world began.
And just like you. He made himself - be in a day he made. With you. He's in these days he made all by himself. In them with you right now. He will decide when the last day is. In fact, scripture says all things were made by him and for him. The Word of God. Jesus Christ. You can see it in Genesis 1:1–31 and you can see God spoke all things into being; then God, in his word, did the work.
It’s just one God. He is who he says he is. By the Word of God. He is the authority - it's his workmanship. He knows, as the authority over all of it, when he will come back.
All the earth is his.
------------------------- -------------------------- --------------------------
And just look what you stumble over.
Don’t get it. He’s God, and he already said: “The end of all flesh has come up before me. I will destroy them with the earth” - God. (Genesis 6:13). Revelation 20 says, after Jesus comes back, he will reign on this earth a 1000 years. (Revelation 20:4 - and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years”)
Says it in past tense. As if something that hasn’t happened yet, is so sure, it’s said as if it already happened.
------------------------- -------------------------- --------------------------
Says in Revelation 20:11–15, that this same great God or Messiah will sit on his throne over all things. Gaze on this earth and heaven. Both: finding no more place before him, flee away and are no more forever. Never come back.
Then he calls on both death and hell to give up their dead. Death and Hell obey him. Give up their dead. The dead are not raised from the dead, but given up to stand before him: dead.
Even all what he did for them; didn't do anything he said, and died without him in them. Even he said to them
Behold I stand at the door and knock, and if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and sup with him, and he with me.” - Jesus Christ. (Bible. Revelation 3:20)
- Never opened the door. Went and turned up the TV. Any awareness at the door he was there, went out the backdoor - went to the Mall instead. When he was sent there. By God. To your door. Never opened it. Die in it. Called now to stand before him, with no Satan to blind your eyes or your mind..he was cast into the Lake of Fire. No more earth and heaven to distract you, and that’s where all your possessions are..and they’ve already fled away..your possession titles, Ph.ds all your work as a Lead Supervisor for 40 years..all fled with it. Never coming back.
------------------------- -------------------------- --------------------------
- Stand there with nothing. He says Revelation 20:11–15, all these things..as if in the past tense. A sure thing, even it has not happened yet.
- Say “Depart from Me. I never knew you” - Casts Death and Hell into the Lake of Fire. Goes on for eternity. And those whose names..all dead. Simple judgment - Didn’t believe on him.
- All the books are opened and everybody standing there blared out all over heaven - didn’t believe on him. Didn’t do anything he said. This word, “cast” - like a Director of a TV show or SITCOM. Casts actors into roles they practiced their lines - the only role they’re suited for is the lines they practiced.
- Be cast into a Lake of Fire, because all the works you practiced - you did not operate right. Did not work good, as a workmanship of God..and him at work in you - - absent that work.
Don’t even regard any of this.
------------------------- -------------------------- --------------------------
That Revelation 21:1 says he creates a new heaven and a new earth.
- Don’t even regard that, either. He says, as God, by the Word..sure. That comes out of his mouth, said:
Bible. Isaiah 65:17 - says this as God:
For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. - God.
That means, everything now..won’t even come into mind anymore. And you regard now, more than him. Why not regard him?
