1 Thessalonians 5:1—But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you, (2) For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes AS A THIEF IN THE NIGHT. (3) For when they say, “PEACE and SAFETY, then SUDDEN DESTRUCTION comes upon them as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. Well if what we just read is any sort of a clue, we are not living in the day when they are saying, PEACE and SAFETY, but WAR and RUMORS of WAR. Mark 13:5—“Take heed that no one deceives you. (6) For many will come in My name, saying, I am He, and will deceive many. (7) And WHEN YOU HEAR OF WARS AND RUMORS OF WARS, DO NOT BE TROUBLED; for such things must happen, BUT THE END IS NOT YET.
The Scriptures say something must happen first, before the end will come. Matthew 24:14—“And THIS GOSPEL of THE KINGDOM will be preached IN ALL THE WORLD as A WITNESS TO ALL THE NATIONS, and THEN THE END WILL COME.
Luke 21:20—“But when you see Jerusalem SURROUNDED BY ARMIES, then you know that its DESOLATION is near. Psalm 74:1—O God, why have You cast us off forever? Why does Your anger smoke against the sheep of Your pasture? (2) Remember YOUR CONGREGATION, which You have purchased OF OLD, THE TRIBE of YOUR INHERITNCE, which You HAVE REDEEMED—This MOUNT ZION where You have dwelt. (3) lift up Your feet TO THE PERPETUAL DESOLATIONS. THE ENEMY HAS DAMAGED EVERYTHING IN THE SANCTUARY. (4) YOUR ENEMIES roar in the midst of YOUR MEETING PLACE; they set up their banners for signs. (5) They seem like men who lift up axes among the thick trees. (6) And now they break down its carved work, all at once, with axes and hammers. (7) They have SET FIRE to YOUR SANCTUARY; they have defiled THE DWELLING PLACE OF YOUR NAME to THE GROUND. (8) They said in their hearts, “Let us destroy them altogether. They have burned up all the meeting places of God in the land.
Psalm 77:1—In Judah God is known; His name is great IN ISRAEL. (2) In Salem also is HIS TABERNACLE, and HIS DWELLING PLACE IN ZION. (3) There He broke the arrows of the bow, the shield and sword of battle. (7) YOU YOURSELF, are to BE FEARED; and who may stand in YOUR PRESENCE when once you ARE ANGRY? (8) You CAUSED JUDGMENT TO BE HEARD FROM HEAVEN; the earth feared and was still, (9) WHEN GOD AROSE TO JUDGMENT, TO DELIVER ALL THE OPPRESSED of THE EARTH. Israel has been oppressed for a very long time! Isaiah 29:7—The multitude of all the nations who fight against Ariel, (Jerusalem) even all who fight against her and her fortress, and DISTRESS her, shall be as a dream of a night vision. (8) It shall even be as when a hungry man dreams, and look—he eats; but he awakes, and his soul is still empty; Or as when a thirsty man dreams, and look—he drinks ; but he awakes, and indeed he is faint, and his soul still craves; So the multitude of ALL THE NATIONS shall be, WHO FIGHT AGAINST MOUNT ZION.” Isaiah 31:5—Like birds flying about, (Planes?) So will the Lord of hosts defend Jerusalem. Defending, He will also deliver it; passing over, He will preserve it.
Isaiah 64:1—Oh, that You would rend the heavens! That You would COME DOWN! That the mountains might shake at Your presence—(2) As fire burns brushwood, as fire causes water to boil—TO MAKE YOUR NAME KNOWN TO YOUR ADVERSARIES, That the nations may tremble at Your presence! (3) When You did AWSOME THINGS for WHICH WE DID NOT LOOK, YOU CAME DOWN, the mountains shook at Your presence, (4) For since the beginning of the world men HAVE NOT HEARD nor PERCEIVED by THE EAR, nor has THE EYE SEEN any God besides You, WHO ACTS FOR THE ONE WHO WAITS FOR HIM. If these terrorists’ nations want a Jihad, a Holy war, then a Holy war they will have. This time they will have to take on the armies of THE LIVING GOD.” Just as Goliath defied the armies of Israel, (1 Sam. 17:10) these modern day Goliaths (terrorists) have also defied our God, the living God! I Sam. 17:36—Seeing he (Goliath) has DEFIED THE ARMIES OF THE LIVNG GOD.” I believe it will be like coming full circle! Coming back to the time, when God was Israel’s King before Saul.
Have you forgotten in the Old Testament when God was Israel’s king? Many times He would drive out the nations before them. Remember how he handled the battle of Jericho? For God these terrorists are nothing but child’s play, He could even turn them against one another, if He so chose to do that! Psalm 44:1—We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what deeds YOU DID in THEIR DAYS, in days of old: (2) How You drove out the nations with YOUR HAND, but them You planted; How You afflicted the peoples and cast them out. (3) For THEY DID NOT GAIN POSSESSION of the land BY THEIR OWN SWORD, nor did their own arm save them; BUT IT WAS YOUR RIGHT HAND, YOUR ARM, and THE LIGHT of YOUR COUNTENACE, because YOU FAVORED THEM. (4) You ARE MY KING, O GOD: COMMAND VICTORIES FOR JACOB. (5) THROUGH YOU WE WILL PUSH DOWN OUR ENEMIES; through YOUR NAME we will TRAMPLE those who RISE UP AGAINST US. (7) But YOU HAVE SAVED US FROM OUR ENEMIES, and have put to shame THOSE WHO HATED US.
This war is different from any other, because it is a fight BETWEEN GOOD and EVIL. We have the right enemy in our scope here, so we can expect God to take sides in this battle. God knows how to deal with these unseen enemies, who creep about seeking ways that they can bring death and destruction to as many people as possible? I can hear the prayer of Asa still ringing through the heavens today! 2 Chronicles 14:11—And Asa cried out to the Lord his God, and said, “Lord, IT IS NOTHING for You TO HELP, whether WITH MANY or WITH THOSE WHO HAVE NO POWER; HELP US, O Lord our God, for WE REST ON YOU, and in YOUR NAME we GO AGAINST THIS MULTIDUDE. O Lord, You are our God; DO NOT LET MAN PREVAIL AGAINST YOU.
1 Corin 2:9—But as it is written: EYE HAS NOT SEEN, nor EAR HEARD, nor HAVE ENTERED INTO THE HEART of man THE THINGS which God HAS PREPARED for those WHO LOVE HIM.” (10) But God HAS REVEALED them to us THROUGH HIS SPIRIT. For the Spirit searches ALL THINGS, yes, THE DEEP THINGS OF GOD. (11) For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things OF GOD except THE SPIRIT of GOD.
John 16:13--”However, when HE, THE SPIRIT of TRUTH has come, HE WILL GUIDE YOU INTO ALL TRUTH; For He will not speak ON HIS OWN AUTHORITY, but whatever HE HEARS He will speak; and HE WILL TELL YOU THINGS TO COME. (14) He will GLORIFY ME, for HE WILL take of what IS MINE and DECLARE IT TO YOU. (15) “ALL THINGS that the Father has ARE MINE. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and DECLARE it to you. John 3:35—“The Father loves the Son, and has given ALL THINGS into HIS HAND. John 5:30—“I can of Myself DO NOTHING. As I HEAR, I JUDGE; and MY JUDGMENT is RIGHTEOUS, because I DO NOT SEEK MY OWN WILL, but THE WILL of THE ONE WHO SENT ME.” (31) “If I bear witness of Myself, MY WITNESS is NOT TRUE.” John 3:17—For God DID NOT SEND HIS SON into the world TO CONDEMN the world, but that THE WORLD through Him might BE SAVED. John 7:18—He who SPEAKS FROM HIMSELF SEEKS HIS OWN GLORY’ but He who SEEKS THE GLORY OF THE ONE WHO SENT HIM IS
TRUE and NO UNRIGHTEOUSNESS is IN HIM. John 12:44—Then Jesus cried out and said, “HE WHO BELIEVES IN ME, believes not in Me BUT IN HIM WHO SENT ME. (47) “And if anyone HEARS MY WORDS and DOES NOT BELIEVE, “I DO NOT JUDGE HIM; for I DID NOT COME TO JUDGE THE WORLD but TO SAVE THE WORLD.
John 17:1—Father, the hour has come. GLORIFY Your Son, that Your Son also may GLORIFY you, (2” as You HAVE GIVEN Him AUTHORTIY over ALL FLESH, that He should give eternal life to as many (all) as You HAVE GIVEN Him. (3) “And this is eternal life, THAT THEY MAY KNOW YOU, the ONLY TRUE GOD, and Jesus Christ, whom YOU HAVE SENT.
Matthew 28:18—Then Jesus came and spoke to them saying, “ALL AUTHORITY has BEEN GIVEN to Me in heaven AND ON EARTH (19) ‘GO THEREFORE and make disciples of ALL THE NATIONS, baptizing them in the name of THE FATHER and of THE SON and of THE HOLY SPIRIT, (20) “teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I AM WITH YOU ALWAY, EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD. Amen (KJV)
Coming right back to where we first came in, “Matthew 24:14—And THIS GOSPEL of THE KINGDOM will be PREACHED IN ALL THE WORLD as a witness to ALL THE NATIONS, and THEN the END WILL COME. Acts 1:6—Therefore, when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, “LORD, WILL YOU AT THIS TIME RESTORE THE KINGDOM to ISRAEL?” (7) And He said to them, “IT IS NOT FOR YOU TO KNOW TIMES OR SEASONS which the Father has PUT IN HIS OWN AUTHORITY. (8) “But you SHALL RECEIVE POWER when THE HOLY SPIRIT has come upon you; and you shall be WITNESSESS TO, ME in JERUSALEM, and in ALL JUDEA and SAMARIA, AND TO THE END OF THE EARTH.” 1 Corinthians 4:19—But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord wills, and I will KNOW NOT THE WORD of those who are PUFFED UP, but THE POWER. (20) For THE KINGDOM OF GOD is NOT IN WORD but IN POWER.
1 Corin. 1:30—But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us WISDOM FROM GOD—and RIGHTEOUSNESS and SANCTIFICATION and REDEMPTION—(31) that, as it is written, “He who glories, let him glory in the Lord.” Chapter 2:1—And I, brethren, when I came to you, did not come with EXCELLENCE of SPEECH or of WISDOM declaring to you THE TESTIMONY of GOD. (2) For I determined not to KNOW ANYTHING among you except Jesus
Christ and Him crucified. (3) I was with you IN WEAKNESS, in FEAR, and in MUCH TREMBLING. (4) And my speech and my preaching WERE NOT WITH PERSUASIVE WORDS OF HUMAN WISDOM, but IN DEMONSTRATION OF THE SPIRIT AND of POWER. (5) that YOUR FAITH should NOT BE in THE WISDOM of MEN but IN THE POWER OF GOD. (6) However, we speak WISDOM among those who ARE MATURE, yet NOT THE WISDOM OF THIS AGE, nor of the rulers of this age, who are COMING TO NOTHING. (7) But we SPEAK THE WISDOM of GOD IN A MYSTERY, THE HIDDEN WISDOM which God ordained BEFORE THE AGES for our GLORY. Romans 16:25—Now to Him who is able to establish you according to MY GOSPEL and the preaching of Jesus Christ, ACCORDING to THE REVELATION of THE MYSTERY which was KEPT SECRET since THE WORLD BEGAN. (26) but now has been made manifest, and by the prophetic Scriptures has been made known TO ALL NATIONS, according to the commandment of THE EVERLASTING GOD, for OBEDIENCE to THE FAITH—(27) to GOD ALONE WISE, BE GLORY through Jesus Christ FOREVER. Amen.
Romans 1:1—Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated to THE GOSPEL of GOD (2) which He promised before through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures, (3) concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh, (4) and DECLARED to be THE SON OF GOD with POWER, according to THE SPIRIT of HOLINESS, by THE RESURRECTION from the dead, (5) through whom we have received GRACE and APOSTLESHIP for OBEDIENCE to THE FAITH AMONG ALL NATIONS for His name, (6) among whom you also ARE THE CALLED of Jesus Christ.
Acts 13:32—And we DECLARE to you GLAD TIDINGS—THAT PROMISE which was made TO THE FATHERES. (33) God has FULFILLED this FOR US their children, IN THAT He has RAISED UP JESUS. As it s ALSO written in the second Psalm: You are My Son, Today I have begotten You. (If we continue on with that Psalm it reads, “I will DECLARE the decree: The Lord has said to Me, You are My Son, Today I have begotten You. Ask of Me and I will GIVE You THE NATIONS as Your INHERITANCE, and THE ENDS OF THE EARTH for YOUR POSSESSION.
Acts 13:46—Then Paul and Barnabas grew bold and said, “It was necessary that THE WORD OF GOD should be spoken to you first; but since you reject it, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, behold, we TURN TO THE GENTILES (47) “For so the Lord commanded us: I HAVE SET YOU TO BE A LIGHT TO THE GENTILES, THAT YOU SHOULD BE FOR SALVATION TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH.” Isaiah 49:6—Indeed He says, “It is too small a thing that You should be My Servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and TO RESTORE the preserved one of ISRAEL; I WILL ALSO give YOU AS A LIGHT TO THE GENTILES, THAT YOU SHOULD BE MY SALVATION TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH,” (8) Thus says the Lord: ‘IN AN ACCEPTABLE TIME I have heard You, and in the day of salvation I have helped You; I WILL PRESERVE YOU AND GIVE YOU AS A COVENANT to the people TO RESTORE THE EARTH, to cause them TO INHERIT THE DESOLATE HERITAGES; (9) That You may say to the prisoners, Go forth, to those who, are IN DARKNESS, show yourselves.
2 Corin. 6:2—For He says in AN ACCEPTABLE TIME I have heard you, and in the day of salvation I have helped you.” Behold, now is the ACCEPTED TIME; behold, now is the day of salvation. Then looking back a few Scriptures we read, “2 Corin. 5:18—Now ALL THINGS are OF GOD who has RECONCILED us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us THE MINISTRY of RECONCILIATION, (19) that is, THAT GOD WAS IN CHRIST RECONCILING THE WORLD TO HIMSELF, NOT IMPUTING THEIR TRESPASSES TO THEM, and has committed to us THE WORD of RECONCILIATION. Then in Hebrews we have The New Covenant, and here also, God is passing over the sins. Hebrews 8:10—“For THIS is THE COVENANT that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I WILL BE THEIR GOD, and THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE. (11) NONE OF THEM SHALL TEACH HIS NEIGHBOR and NONE HIS BROTHER, saying, KNOW THE LORD, for all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them. (12) “For I will be MERCIFUL to their UNRIGHTEOUSNESS, and THEIR SINS and THEIR LAWLESS DEEDS I WILL REMEMBER NO MORE.”
Hebrews 9:15—And for this reason He is the MEDIATOR of the new covenant, that those who are called may receive THE PROMISE of the ETERNAL INHERITANCE.
Looking to some more signs of the time! Luke 21:29—And He (Jesus) spoke to them a parable: LOOK AT THE FIG TREE, and all the trees. (30) “WHEN THEY ARE ALREADY BUDDING, you see and KNOW for yourselves THAT SUMMER is NOW near. Well let’s see if we can find some fruit on the fig tree, or is it still barren? Remember Jesus cursed the fig tree and no longer could fruit be found on it? Yes, I believe we found some! Hosea 9:10—I found ISRAEL like grapes in the wilderness; I SAW YOUR FATHERS as THE FIRSTRUITS on THE FIG TREE IN ITS FIRST SEASON. So the fig tree is producing once more! Isaiah 27:2—In that day sing to her, “A vineyard of red wine! (3) I, the Lord, keep it, I WATER IT EVERY MOMENT; lest any hurt it, I keep it night and day. (4) FURY IS NOT IN ME. Who would set briers and thorns against Me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together. (5) Or let him TAKE HOLD OF MY STRENGTH, that HE MAY MAKE PEACE WITH ME; and HE SHALL MAKE PEACE WITH ME.” Proverbs 16:14—AS MESSENGERS OF DEATH is the king’s WRATH, but A WISE NAME WILL APPEASE IT. (15) IN THE LIGHT of THE KING’S FACE is LIFE, and HIS FAVOR is like a cloud of THE LATTER RAIN. Isaiah 27:6 cont.-- Those who come He shall cause to TAKE ROOT IN JACOB; (Psalm 24:6—This is Jacob, THE GENERATION of those who seek Him, who SEEK YOUR FACE.) Israel SHALL BLOSSOM and BUD and FILL THE FACE OF THE WORLD WITH FRUIT.) Returning to Luke 21: 30-- When they are already BUDDING, you see and know for yourselves THAT SUMMER is NOW NEAR. (31) “So you, likewise, when you see these things happening, KNOW that THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS NEAR. (32) Assuredly, I say to you, THIS GENERATION will by no means PASS AWAY, till ALL THINGS ARE FULFILLED.
Looking up the word summer in the dict. I found: SUMMER 1. the warmest season of the year between spring and autumn. 2 anything considered like summer in its warmth, full beauty, healthy maturity, or the like; such as a young man in the summer of his life. Summertime; any period in which energy is the greatest or talent most productive.
Luke 21:31-- Goes on to say, “So you, likewise, when you SEE THESE THINGS HAPPENING, know THAT THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS NEAR. (32) Assuredly, I say to you, THIS GENERATION will by no means PASS AWAY till ALL THINGS are FULFILLED. Galatians 5:14—For ALL the law IS FULFILLED in one word, even IN THIS: You shall love your neighbor AS YOURSELF.
Luke 18:20—Now when He was asked by the Pharisees WHEN the KINGDOM OF GOD WOULD COME, He answered them and said, “THE KINGDOM OF GOD DOES NOT COME with OBSERVATION; (21) nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or See there! For indeed, THE KINGDOM OF GOD is WITHIN YOU.”
Colossians 1:24—I (Paul) NOW REJOICE in my sufferings for you and fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, for the sake of HIS BODY which IS THE CHURCH, (25) of which I became a minister according to the stewardship FROM GOD which was given to me for you, TO FULFILL THE WORD OF GOD, (26) THE MYSTERY which has BEEN HIDDEN from AGES and GENERATIONS, but now has BEEN REVEALED to His saints. (27) To them God willed TO MAKE KNOWN what are the riches of THE GLORY of THIS MYSTERY among THE GENTILES; WHICH IS Christ IN YOU, the HOPE of GLORY. Romans 14:17—for THE KINGDOM of GOD is not food and drink, but RIGHTEOUSNESS and PEACE, and JOY IN THE HOLY SPIRIT.
Colossians 1:18—And He is THE HEAD of THE BODY, THE CHURCH, who is the beginning, THE FIRSTBORN from THE DEAD, that in ALL THINGS He may have THE PREEMINENCE. (19) For it pleased the Father that In Him all the fullness should dwell, (20) and by Him TO RECONCILE ALL THINGS TO HIMSELF, (ministry of reconciliation) BY HIM, whether things on earth OR THINGS IN HEAVEN, having MADE PEACE through THE BLOOD OF HIS CROSS.
Ephesians 5:30—For we are members of HIS BODY, of HIS FLESH and OF HIS BONES. (31) For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be JOINED to HIS WIFE, and THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH.” (very important to note here, it is not saying one spirit, but ONE FLESH)” (32) This is A GREAT MYSTERY, but I speak CONCERNING CHRIST and THE CHURCH.
You see that is why I believe Jesus was telling the Pharisees the KINGDOM OF GOD Is WITHIN, that it would not come with observation. At that time however, there was no way for them to have a clue what He was talking about, because Christ had not yet been crucified. He had NOT YET RISEN, and the HOLY SPIRIT, had NOT YET BEEN GIVEN. Because it is CHRIST IN YOU the HOPE OF GLORY. Also in the Gospel of John we read, “A man can receive nothing UNLESS IT HAS BEEN GIVEN TO HIM FROM HEAVEN. You see the word itself can become a stumbling block and it is only the Holy Spirit who can turn it into a stepping stone. Let me give you an example!
1 Corinthians 15:50—Now this I say, brethren, THAT FLESH AND BLOOD CANNOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD: nor does corruption inherit incorruption. Well then, does that put an end to our quest for seeking the Kingdom of God? After all does not the word itself say, Seek ye FIRST the kingdom of God? Matt.6:33) Does that mean then that we can never obtain it while we are walking around in these earthly bodies? Well let’s see what it has to say in Romans 8:9—But YOU ARE NOT IN THE FLESH but IN THE SPIRIT, if INDEED THE SPIRIT of GOD DWELLS IN YOU. Now if anyone does not have THE SPIRIT of CHRIST, he is not HIS. (11) But if THE SPIRIT of HIM who RAISED Jesus from the dead DWELLS IN YOU, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give LIFE to YOUR MORTAL bodies through HIS SPIRIT who DWELLS IN YOU. Romans 8:1—There is therefore now NO COMDEMNATION to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk ACCORDING TO THE FLESH, but ACCORDING TO THE SPIRIT. (2) For the law of THE SPIRIT OF LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS has made me FREE from the law of sin and death. (4) That THE RIGHTEOUS REQUIREMENT of the law might BE FULFILLED in us who DO NOT WALK ACCORDING to THE FLESH but ACCORDING TO THE SPIRIT.
John 14:21—“He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved BY MY FATHER, and I will love him and MANIFEST MYSELF to him. (23) “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word’ and MY FATHER will love him, and WE WILL COME to him and MAKE OUR HOME with him. John 14:10—“Do you not believe that I am in THE FATHER, and THE FATHER IN ME? THE WORDS that I speak to you I do not speak on MY OWN AUTHORITY; but THE FATHER WHO DWELLS IN ME DOES THE WORKS. (11) “Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in me, or else BELIEVE ME FOR THE SAKE OF THE WORKS THEMSELVES. (12) “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes IN ME, THE WORKS that I do HE WILL DO ALSO; and GREATER WORKS than these HE WILL DO because I GO TO THE FATHER. (13) “And whatever you ask in My NAME, that I WILL DO, that the Father MAY BE GLORIFIED IN THE SON. (14) “If you ask ANYTHING IN MY NAME, I will do it.” I am asking the Father to give His Son the nations as His inheritance and the ends of the earth for His possession.
We have been told, if you are NOT WATCHING Jesus said, “then I will come upon YOU as A THIEF, and you will not know WHAT HOUR I will come upon YOU.” It is important to note that Jesus is talking to the angel of the church of Sardis when He said this. (Rev. 3:1-2) Matthew 24:43—“BUT KNOW THIS, that if THE MASTER OF THE HOUSE had KNOWN what HOUR the THIEF would come, he would HAVE WATCHED and NOT ALLOWED HIS HOUSE to be BROKEN INTO. (45) “Who then is A FAITHFUL and WISE servant, whom HIS MASTER made RULER over HIS HOUSEHOLD, to give THEM FOOD in DUE SEASON? In Jeremiah 10:7 it says, “who would not fear You, O king of the nations? FOR THIS is Your RIGHTFUL DUE. Verse ten says, “But the Lord is THE TRUE GOD; He is THE LIVING GOD and THE EVERLASTING KING.”
Returning to Matthew 24:46--“Assuredly, I say to you that he will MAKE HIM RULER OVER ALL HIS GOODS. Well we KNOW that Jesus WAS WATCHING and He said this! John 10:9—“I am THE DOOR. If anyone enters BY ME, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. (10) “THE THIEF does not come except TO STEAL, and TO KILL, and TO DESTROY. I have come that they MAY HAVE LIFE, and that they may have it more ABUNDANTLY. Have you been watching? If so then maybe you have seen this! Joel 2:11—The Lord gives voice BEFORE HIS ARMY, FOR His camp is very great; for strong is the One who executes HIS WORD. FOR THE DAY OF THE LORD is great and very terrible; who can endure it? (9) They run on the wall; they climb into the houses, THEY ENTER at THE WINDOWS like A THIEF. (whoops!) John 10:1—Most assuredly, I say to you, he WHO DOES NOT ENTER the sheepfold BY THE DOOR, but CLIMBS UP SOME OTHER WAY, the same IS A THIEF and A ROBBER. (2) But he who enters by THE DOOR is THE SHEPHERD of the sheep.
Joel 1:15—Alas for the day! For the day of the Lord is at hand; It shall come as destruction from the Almighty. (16) IS NOT THE FOOD CUT OFF from before our eyes, JOY AND GLADNESS from THE HOUSE OF OUR GOD?
Psalm 104:27—These all wait FOR YOU, that YOU MAY GIVE THEM THEIR FOOD IN DUE SEASON (28) What you give them they gather in; You open Your hand, they are FILLED WITH GOOD. (29) You hide YOUR FACE, they are troubled; You take away their breath, they die and return to their dust. (30) “YOU SEND FORTH YOUR SPIRIT, they are created: AND YOU RENEW THE FACE OF THE EARTH. Jesus has told us not to labor FOR THE FOOD THAT PERISHES but for THE FOOD which endures to everlasting life. (John 6:27) Then in verse 32 and 33, “Jesus says, ‘but My Father gives you the TRUE BREAD from heaven. “For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and GIVES LIFE TO THE WORLD.” John 4:34—Jesus said to them, “MY FOOD IS TO DO THE WILL OF HIM WHO SENT ME, and TO FINISH HIS WORK. John 3:17—“For God did not SEND His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that THE WORLD through Him might BE SAVED.
Mark 16:14—Afterward He appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table; and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him AFTER HE HAD RISEN. (15) And He said to them, Go into ALL THE WORLD and PREACH THE GOSPEL to every creature. (16) He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. (17) “and these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; (18) “they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; THEY WILL LAY HANDS ON THE SICK and THEY WILL RECOVER.
Acts 1:7—Jesus said, “It is not for you to know time or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority. (8) “But you shall receive POWER when THE HOLY SPIRIT has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, AND TO THE END OF THE EARTH.
Galatians 3:8—And THE SCRIPTURE, foreseeing that GOD WOULD JUSTIFY THE NATIONS by faith, PREACHED THE GOSPEL to Abraham BEFOREHAND saying, “IN YOU ALL THE NATIONS SHALL BE BLESSED.”
Psalm 22:27—All THE ENDS OF THE WORLD SHALL REMEMBER and TURN TO THE LORD, AND ALL THE FAMILIES OF THE NATIONS SHALL WORSHIP BEFORE YOU. (28) FOR THE KINGDOM IS THE LORD’S AND HE RULES OVER THE NATIONS.
Matthew 24:14—And THIS GOSPEL of THE KINGDOM will BE PREACHED IN ALL THE WORLD as a witness TO ALL THE NATIONS, and THEN THE END WILL COME.
