ARE YOU COMING TO THE REUNION?

It is very clear that when a believer dies he goes immediately into the presence of God, and when an unbeliever dies, he goes immediately into the realm of conscious suffering. That is what Paul means when he speaks of THOSE WHO DIE WITHOUT HOPE. Their end is terrifying hopeless because they are in a place of suffering from which there is no escape.
Not so with those who belong to Jesus Christ. They experience the most blessed hope of all; glorious rewards and an eternity of unending joy in the presence of the Lord.

The Two Witnesses

Knowledge of things to come should give all of us a burden for people around us. We cannot stop with the sweet knowledge and forget to warn the people around us and show them the way of escape. This is one of the reasons why I personally love the prophetic Scripture. It is wonderful to see the Revelation of Jesus Christ in all His glory, and yet, at the same time it will give you a burden for the lost like nothing else will.
The two witnesses are referred to as olive threes due to the fruit they bear during the time of their witness. It’s a slow growing tree which reaches a great age and bears fruit until it dies. Before dying, however, new branches sprout from its roots. Likewise, the two witnesses are to be killed. Thus, the olive tree typifies the death of the witnesses and the results of their witnessing; that is, they sprout new converts. The olive tree fruit was harvested by beating the branches of the tree with a stick or by shaking the tree.
Enoch is a picture of the Rapture of the church. Those who WALK WITH GOD will go, and those who walk according to the world will stay where they love to be and live. We, as witnesses of Christ today must WALK WITH GOD LIKE ENOCH WALKED WITH GOD AND ONE DAY, THE LORD WILL TAKE US HOME.

God’s Plan Is On Schedule

Thousand of years, people dreaming about the moment when things would change. But they will not change by human hand. God has revealed in His book that there is a specific year, a specific month, a very precise day and hour, when HE will break His silence, when He will fulfill all His purposes concerning men and the world. HIS PLAN IS RIGHT ON SCHEDULE.
The day is coming when the Lord Jesus Christ will return and establish His earthly kingdom. The day is coming, and is right on schedule, when Jesus will rule righteously, with a rod of iron and the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea (Isaiah 11:9)
A Biblical mystery refers to truths God has hidden and will reveal in His time. This mystery involves the salvation of those who trust in Jesus Christ alone, it involves our place in Christ’s glorious kingdom. It involves the judgment of all sinners and demons.
This chapter reminds us once again of our responsibility to warn the world of that day. Remember, God’s plan is on schedule. He will not wait much longer.
