EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW - EVERY KNEE HAS
BOWED
By Tuese Ahkiong
The phrase “Every knee shall bow” comes from Isaiah 45:23 and is
sited in Romans 14:11 and Philippians 2:10
Notice in context who “the every knee” is? The answer is
in v17 and limited to the context of Israel. Israel means GOD RULES
and HE WHO RULES WITH GOD. Not all Jews were the chosen elect remnant
Israel of God. It was those of faith in God.
Modern day Christians love the idea that they created around
Philippians 2:10 that Christ will physically return and force everyone to bow
the knee whether one wants to or not. But is this what the Bible teaches
or is it just a teaching from the traditions of men?
Isaiah 45:17-25
EnglishStandard Version (ESV)
17 But Israel is saved by the Lord with everlasting salvation;
you shall not be put to shame or confounded to all eternity.
18 For thus says the Lord,
who created the heavens
(he is God!),
who formed the earth and made it
(he established it;
he did not create it empty,
he formed it to be inhabited!):
“I am the Lord,and there is no other.
19 I did not speak in secret,
in a land of darkness;
I did not say to the offspring of Jacob,
‘Seek me in vain.’
I the Lord speak the truth;
I declare what is right.
20 “Assemble yourselves and come;
draw near together,
you survivors of the nations!
They have no knowledge
who carry about their wooden idols,
and keep on praying to a god
that cannot save.
21 Declare and present your case;
let them take counsel together!
Who told this long ago?
Who declared it of old?
Was it not I,the Lord?
And there is no other god besides me,
a righteous God and a Savior;
there is none besides me.
22 “Turn to me and be saved,
all the ends of the earth!
For I am God, and there is no other.
23 By myself I have sworn;
from my mouth has gone out in righteousness a
word that shall not return:
‘To me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear
allegiance.’
24 “Only in theLord, it shall be said of me, are righteousness
and strength;
to him shall come and be ashamed
all who were incensed against him.
25 In the Lord all the offspring of Israel
shall be justified and shall glory.”
**A big problem modern-day Christians have is that they believe
the Bible was written TO THEM. Whenever they see the pronoun
"you," they believe it's directed to them. LOL. How egotistic!
And when they see universal language "every, all, world...",
they believe it is referring TO THEM. It could refer TO THEM but the
context determines that and can limit that TO a specific group.
YESHUA CAME FOR THE LOST SHEEP OF ISRAEL
Therefore, “the every knee shall bow” should be understand in
the context of Isaiah 45:23, who Yeshua came for and how the rest of the NT
writers also fall support this. The OT was being harvested and judged.
The 9th of Av 70AD was the day Yeshua returned as King of
Kings to complete the harvest. see my article "The End of the
Harvest"
Matthew 10:5-7 These twelve Jesus sent out, instructing
them, “Go nowhere among the Gentiles and enter no town of the Samaritans,
6 but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7
And proclaim as you go, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’
Matthew 15:24 He
answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of
Israel.”
Romans15:8 For
I tell you that Christ became a servant to the circumcised to
show God's truthfulness, in order to confirm
the promises given to the patriarchs,
**Yeshua would judge the old covenant world at His
coming/parousia. see my article "The end of the age & the age to
come..."
Matthew25
31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels
with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 Before him will be
gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a
shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33
And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left. 34 Then
the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my
Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
35 For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink,
I was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36 I was naked and you clothed me, I was
sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ 37 Then the
righteous will answer him,saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed
you, or thirsty and give you drink? 38 And when did we see you a stranger and
welcome you, or naked and clothe you? 39 And when did we see you sick or in
prison and visit you?’ 40 And the King will answer them,‘Truly, I
say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it
to me.’
41“Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you
cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I
was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, 43
I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me,
sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’ 44 Then they also will answer,
saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or
sick or in prison,and did not minister to you?’ 45 Then he will answer them,
saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of
these, you did not doit to me.’ 46 And these will go away into
eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
** Nations is the translation of theHebrew goyim. It is
translated in the Greek as ethnos.
"Gentiles" is a bad translation. It is an
English language substitution for the Hebrew words,"goy"(singular)
and "goyim" (plural) and the Greek words,"ethne,"
(singular) or "ethnos," (plural). This word is best translated
as "nations," representing sometimes the nation of Israel, sometimes
the dispersed ten northern tribes, sometimes non-Israelites, and sometimes
everybody, as in “all nations.”
As Yeshua was sent to the lost sheep of Israel, so, Paul, though
minister to the gentiles, is very clear that it is to the HOPE OF ISRAEL given
to the twelve tribes that he proclaims what the fathers, Moses and the prophets
taught, that THE RISING AGAIN FROM THE DEAD, resurrection, judgment of
righteous and wicked THAT WAS ABOUT TO TAKE PLACE in the 1st century?
Who was this promise made TO? Answer: ISRAEL.
Yeshua is the resurrection and the life. He is The Judge before
whom every knee shall bow of what context? Israel.
Notice how Paul is preaching to the hope of Israel. The OT
taught of a time of resurrection and judgment.
Acts 23:6 YLT
Now when Paul perceived that one part were Sadducees and the
other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, “Brothers, I am a Pharisee,
a son of Pharisees. It is with respect to the hope and the
resurrection of the dead that I am on trial.”
Acts 23:6 ESV
and Paul having known that the one part are Sadducees, and the
other Pharisees, cried out in the sanhedrim, `Men, brethren, I am a
Pharisee -- son of a Pharisee -- concerning hope and rising again of dead men I
am judged.'
Acts 24:13-15 YLT
nor are they able to prove against me the things concerning
which they now accuse me. 14 `And I confess this to thee, that,according
to the way that they call a sect, so serve I the God of the
fathers, believing all things that in the law and the prophets have been
written,
15having hope toward God, which they themselves also wait for,
[that] there is about to be a rising again of the dead, both of righteous and
unrighteous;
Acts 24:13-15 ESV
13 Neither can they prove to you what they now
bring up against me. 14 But thisI confess to you, that
according to the Way, which they call a sect, I worship the God of our
fathers, believing everything laid down by the Law and written in
the Prophets, 15 having ahope in God, which these men themselves accept,
that there will be a resurrection of both the just and the unjust.
Acts 24:20-21 YLT
or let these same say if they found any unrighteousness in me in
my standing before the sanhedrim,
21 except concerning this one voice, in which I cried, standing
among them --Concerning a rising again of the dead I am judged to-day by
you.'
Acts 24:20-21 ESV
20 Or else let these men themselves say what
wrong doing they found when I stood before the council, 21 other
than this one thing that I cried out while standing among them: ‘It
is with respect to the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial before you
this day.’”
Acts 24:24-25 YLT
And after certain days,Felix having come with Drusilla his wife,
being a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith toward
Christ, 25 and he reasoning concerning righteousness, and temperance, and
the judgment that is about to be, Felix, having become afraid,
answered, `For the present be going, and having got time, I will call for
thee;'
Acts 24:24-25 ESV
24 After some days Felix came with his wife
Drusilla, who was Jewish, and he sent for Paul and heard him speak about faith
in ChristJesus. 25 And as he reasoned about righteousness and
self-control and the coming judgment, Felix was alarmed
and said, “Go away for the present. When I get an opportunity I will summon
you.”
Acts 26:6-8 YLT
and now for the hope of the promise made to the fathers by God,
I have stood judged, 7 to which our twelve tribes, intently night and day
serving, do hope to come, concerning which hope I am accused, king Agrippa, by
theJews; 8 why is it judged incredible with you, ifGod doth
raise the dead?
Acts 26:6-8 ESV
6 And now I stand here on trial because
of my hope in the promise made by God to our fathers, 7 to which our
twelve tribes hope to attain, as they earnestly worship night and day. And for
this hope I am accused by Jews, O king! 8 Why is it thought
incredible by any of you that God raises the dead?
Acts 26:22-23 YLT
`Having obtained,therefore, help from God, till this day, I have
stood witnessing both to small and to great, saying nothing besides the
things that both the prophets and Moses spake of as about to come, 23
that the Christ is to suffer, whether first by a rising from the dead, he
is about to proclaim light to the people and to the nations.'
Acts 26:22-23 ESV
22 To this day I have had the help that comes from God,and
so I stand here testifying both to small and great, saying nothing but what the
prophets and Moses said would come to pass: 23 that
theChrist must suffer and that, by being the first to rise from the dead, he
would proclaim light both to our people and to the Gentiles.”
Acts 28:20 ESV
20 For this reason,therefore, I have asked to see you and
speak with you, since it is because of the hope of
Israel that I am wearing this chain.”
**Resurrection and Judgment
Daniel12
“At that time shall arise Michael, the great prince who has
charge of your people. And there shall be a time of trouble, such as never has
been since there was a nation till that time. But at that time your people
shall be delivered, everyone whose name shall be found written in the book.2 And
many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall AWAKE, some to
everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. 3 And those
who are wise shall SHINE like the brightness of the sky above; and those who
turn many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever. 4 But you, Daniel,
shut up the words and seal the book, until the time of the end. Many
shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”
5 Then I, Daniel, looked, and behold, two others
stood, one on this bank of the stream and one on that bank of the stream. 6 And
someone said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the
stream, “How long shall it be till the end of these wonders?”
7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the
stream; he raised his right hand and his left hand toward heaven and swore by
him who lives forever that it would be for a time, times, and half a time, and
that when the shattering of the power of the holy people comes to an end all
these things would be finished. 8 I heard, but I did not
understand. Then I said, “O my lord, what shall be the outcome of these
things?” 9 He said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are
shut up and sealed until the time of the end. 10 Many shall
purify themselves and make themselves white and be refined, but the wicked
shall act wickedly. And none of the wicked shall understand, but those who are
wise shall understand. 11 And from the time that the regular
burnt offering is taken away and the abomination that makes desolate is
set up, there shall be 1,290 days. 12 Blessed is he who waits
and arrives at the 1,335 days.13 But go your way till the end. And you
shall rest and shall stand in your allotted place at the end of the days.”
***the Jews were the Holy People of God within the context of
Daniel. The resurrection mentioned here takes place when the power of the
holy people was shattered. This took place in 70 A.D. as Jesus said would
happen within “this generation” 1st century. see my article "The
Olivet Discourse Fulfilled"
Luke23:26-31 And as they led him away, they seize
done Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country, and laid on him the
cross, to carry it behind Jesus. 27 And there followed him a great multitude of
the people and of women who were mourning and lamenting for him. 28 But turning
to them Jesus said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for
yourselves and for your children. 29 For behold, the days are coming when they
will say, ‘Blessed are the barren and the wombs that never bore and the breasts
that never nursed!’ 30Then they will begin to say to the mountains, ‘Fall
on us,’ and to the hills, ‘Cover us.’31 For if they do these things
when the wood is green, what will happen when it is dry?”
***Christ is quoting from Old Testament prophecy of the latter
days judgment upon Israel and sticks the events He is speaking of here within
the life time of His audience. First Century Israel, the “this
generation,” is the target audience of His prophecy.
A large section of Scripture speaks of “last days” or “latter
days.” Within context, a majority of the passages are speaking of
“The Last days “ and “latter times” of Israel, the old
covenant. These phrases are NOT defined as the last days of human
history of the latter times of the universe. It is specifically the
last days of the old covenant age which was taking place in the 1st century
until the Temple was destroyed in 70 A.D. when the old covenant officially
passed away. see my article "Are we living in the last days?"
Isaiah 2:2
2 It shall come to pass IN THE LATTER
DAYS that the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be established as the
highest of the mountains, and shall be lifted up above the hills; and all
the nations shall flow to it,
***The
latter days are the latter days of Israel or The Old Covenant. The
New Testament was written in the last days of the old covenant world because
the new covenant age was coming in.
19 AND PEOPLE SHALL ENTER THE CAVES OF
THE ROCKS AND THE HOLES OF THE GROUND, FROM BEFORE THE TERROR OF THE LORD,AND FROM THE SPLENDOR OF HIS
MAJESTY, WHEN HE RISES TO TERRIFY THE EARTH.
20 IN THAT
DAY mankind will cast away their idols of silver and their idols
of gold, which they made for themselves to worship, to the moles and
to the bats,21 TO ENTER THE CAVERNS OF THE ROCKS AND
THE CLEFTS OF THE CLIFFS, FROM BEFORE THE TERROR OF THE LORD, AND FROM THE SPLENDOR OF HIS
MAJESTY, WHEN HE RISES TO TERRIFY THE EARTH.
Revelation
6:12-17 When he opened the sixth seal, I looked, and behold, there
was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth, the full moon
became like blood, 13 and the stars of the sky fell to the earth as the fig
tree sheds its winter fruit when shaken by a gale. 14 The sky vanished like a
scroll that is being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from
its place. 15 Then the kings of the earth and the great ones and the generals
and the rich and the powerful, and everyone, slave and free, hid themselves in
the caves and among the rocks of the mountains, 16 calling to the mountains and
rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who is seated on the
throne, and from the
wrath of the Lamb, 17 for the great day of their wrath has come, and who can
stand?”
***God prophesied judgment upon His old covenant people for their
idolatry in the latter days. Israel became Mystery Babylon, mother of
harlots. She murdered Yeshua, The Messiah (Jesus Christ), His Apostles,
disciples, scribes, saints... and this brought about the end of Israel as the
covenant people of God. see my article "Babylon the great, mother of
prostitutes"
Luke
13:31-35 At that very hour some Pharisees came and said to him, “Get away
from here, for Herod wants to kill you.” 32 And he said to them, “Go and tell
that fox,‘Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and
the third day I finish my course. 33 Nevertheless, I must go on my way today
and tomorrow and the day following, for it cannot be that a prophet should
perish away from Jerusalem.’ 34 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city
that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often would I
have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her
wings, and you were not willing! 35 Behold, your house is
forsaken. And I tell you, you will not see me until you say,
‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!’”
**Christ puts Isaiah’s prophecy in His “this generaton.”
In Romans, Paul is writing during the last days of Israel.
He is addressing Israel, physical and remnant/spiritual.
Romans 14:1-13
As for the one who is weak in faith, welcome him, but not
to quarrel over opinions. 2 One person believes he may eat anything, while the
weak person eats only vegetables. 3 Let not the one who eats despise the one
who abstains, and let not the one who abstains pass judgment on the one who
eats, for God has welcomed him. 4 Who are you to pass judgment on the servant
of another? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. And he will be
upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand.
5 One person esteems one day as better than another, while
another esteems all days alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own
mind. 6 The one who observes the day, observes it in honor of the Lord. The one
who eats, eats in honor of the Lord, since he gives thanks to God, while the
one who abstains, abstains in honor of the Lord and gives thanks to God. 7 For
none of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself. 8 For if WE live, WE live
to the Lord, and if WE die, WE die to the
Lord. So then, whether WE live or whether WE die, WE are
the Lord's. 9 For to this end Christ died and lived again, that he might be Lord both of the dead and
of the living.
10 Why do you pass judgment on your brother? Or you, why do you
despise your brother? For WE will all stand before the
judgment seat of God; 11
for it is written,
“As I live, says the Lord, EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW TO ME, AND EVERY
TONGUE SHALL CONFESS TO GOD.”
12 So then each of us will give an account of himself to God.
13 Therefore let us not pass judgment on one another any longer,
but rather decide never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a
brother.
**Paul familiar with the OT and of Christ's teaching, was aware
of the coming judgment that would fall in that generation. Even John the
Baptists speaks of the coming judgment upon that generation. Matt 3:7 Luke 3:7.
Philippians
2:1-18 So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort
from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, 2
complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full
accord and of one mind. 3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in
humility count others more significant than yourselves. 4Let each of you look
not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. 5 Have this
mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, 6who, though he was in
the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but
emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of
men. 8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient
to the point of death, even death on a cross. 9Therefore God has highly exalted
him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, 10 so that at
the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the
earth,11 and EVERY TONGUE
CONFESS THAT JESUS CHRIST IS LORD, to the glory of God the Father.
12 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not
only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation
with fear and trembling,13 for it is God who works in you, both to will and to
work for his good pleasure.
14 Do all things without grumbling or disputing, 15 that you may
be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the
midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you
shine as lights in the world, 16 holding fast to the word of life,
so that in the day of Christ I may be proud that I did not run in vain or labor
in vain. 17 Even if I am to be poured out as a drink offering upon the
sacrificial offering of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all. 18
Likewise you also should be glad and rejoice with me.
**Christ is The LORD, The Judge of The Old Covenant world/ age,
The Old Heavens and earth covenant along with those under the earth in Sheol
that were judged by Him in 70A.D.
The Father gave judgment to The Son:
John 5:22 The Father judges
no one, but has given all judgment to the Son,
John 5:27 And he has given him
authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man.
So, in a judicial sense, the old covenant world bows the knee to
The Son as Judge.
Notice how Paul identifies his generation as crooked and
twisted. His generation also parallels the time of Daniel 12 of the
resurrection and destruction of the power of the holy people, the temple, the
old covenant, the old heavens and earth. Yeshua called His generation an
adulterous and wicked one and the one to whom He would return to. see my
article "This Generation."
Matthew 12:39 But he answered them, “AN
EVIL AND ADULTEROUS GENERATION seeks
for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet
Jonah.
Matthew 16:4 AN EVIL
AND ADULTEROUS GENERATION seeks
for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.” So he
left them and departed.
Mark 8:38 For whoever is ashamed of me and of my
words in THIS ADULTEROUS AND
SINFUL GENERATION, of him
will the Son of Man also be ashamed when he comes in the glory of his Father
with the holy angels.”
Daniel9:24-27 “Seventy weeks
are decreed about your people and your holy city, to finish the transgression,
to put an end to sin, and to atone for iniquity, to bring in everlasting
righteousness, to seal both vision and prophet, and to anoint a most holy
place. 25 Know therefore and understand that from the going out of
the word to restore and build Jerusalem to the coming of an anointed one, a
prince, there shall be seven weeks. Then for sixty-two weeks it shall be built
again with squares and moat, but in a troubled time. 26 And after the sixty-two
weeks, an anointed one shall be cut off and shall have nothing. And the people
of the prince who is to come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. Its end
shall come with a flood, and to the end there shall be war. Desolations are
decreed. 27 And he shall make a strong covenant with many for one week, and for
half of the week he shall put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing
of abominations shall come one who makes desolate,until the decreed end is
poured out on the desolator.”
Christ FULFILLED THE 70WEEKS OF Daniel and brought in
1. finished
the transgression
2. put
an end to sin
3. atone
for iniquity
4. bring
in everlasting righteousness
5. seal
both vision and prophet
6. anoint the most
holy place
***Christ said that the fulfillment
of all that is written (O.T. prophecies including every knee bowing) would take
place in that 1st century generation and it did if one submits to Scripture and
not church creeds, confessions, and the traditions of men.
That would include the events in the Rev 5:6-14 which speak of Old Covenant World (In heaven, on earth, and under the earth) bowing before The Lamb.
Revelation
5:6-14
6 And between
the throne and the four living creatures and among the elders I saw a Lamb
standing, as though it had been slain, with seven horns and with seven
eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth. 7 And
he went and took the scroll from the right hand of him who was seated on the
throne.8 And when he had taken the scroll, the four
living creatures and the twenty-four elders FELL DOWN BEFORE
THE LAMB, each holding a harp, and golden bowls full of
incense, which are the prayers of the saints. 9 And
they sang a new song, saying,
“Worthy are
you to take the scroll
11 Then I
looked, and I heard around the throne and the living creatures and the elders
the voice of many angels, numbering myriads of myriads and thousands of
thousands, 12 saying with a loud voice,
“Worthy is
the Lamb who was slain,
13 And I heard EVERY CREATURE IN
HEAVEN AND ON EARTH AND UNDER THE EARTH and in the sea, and all that is in
them, saying,
“To him who
sits on the throne and to the Lamb
14 And the four
living creatures said, “Amen!” and THE
ELDERS FELL DOWN AND WORSHIPED.
Revelation 19
After this I
heard what seemed to be the loud voice of a great multitude in heaven,
crying out,
“Hallelujah!
Salvation
and glory and power belong to our God,
2
for his judgments are true and just;
for he has
judged the great prostitute
who
corrupted the earth with her immorality,
and has
avenged on her the blood of his servants.”
3 Once more
they cried out,
“Hallelujah!
The smoke
from her goes up forever and ever.”
4 And the
twenty-four elders and the four living creatures FELL DOWN AND WORSHIPED GOD who
was seated on the throne, saying, “Amen. Hallelujah!”
*WHO IS BEING WORSHIPPED in 5:8 and 19:4? Christ, The LORD, The LAMB OF GOD.
*CAN ONE BE WORSHIPPED WITHOUT THE
WORSHIPPER ACKNOWLEDGING A POSTURE OR SPIRIT OF A BOWED KNEE IN REVERENCE, AWE AND HOLY FEAR?
“Every knee shall bow” is likened to “Every eye shall see him”
in that it was a hyperbole. Both are limited to a certain group of people, Old
Covenant Israel.
Revelation 5 and 19 are both booked in between imminent time statements.
From the First to the Last Chapter of The book of Revelation, one will
see that it is loaded with imminent time statements TO the 1st
Century 7 churches of Asia. The events
within The Book of Revelation are said to must soon take place, the time is
near, coming quickly, coming soon, at hand?
Rev. 1:1 The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to
his servants THE THINGS THAT MUST SOON TAKE PLACE. He made it known by sending
his angel to his servant John,
HOW LONG IS SOON?
Rev. 1:3 Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy,
and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written in it, FOR THE
TIME IS NEAR.
*THE TIME IS NEAR FOR WHAT? WHO?
Rev.1.4 John, To the seven churches in the province of
Asia: Grace and peace to you from him who is, and who was, and who is to
come, and from the seven spirits[a] before his throne,
WAS THE BOOK OF REVELATION WRITTEN TO 21ST CENTURY CHRISTIANS?
Rev. 1.7 Look, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him,
even THOSE WHO PIERCED HIM and all the peoples of the earth will mourn because
of him. So shall it be! Amen.
*ARE THOSE WHO PIERCED JESUS STILL ALIVE? DOES THIS TELL YOU SOMETHING
ABOUT THE TIMING OF JESUS COMING IN THE CLOUDS?
Rev 1:9-11 I, John, your brother and partner IN THE TRIBULATION and the
kingdom and the patient endurance that are in Jesus, was on the island called
Patmos on account of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus. 10 I was in
the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like the sound
of a trumpet, 11 saying, “Write in a book what you see, and SEND IT TO THE
SEVEN CHURCHES: to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamum and to Thyatira and to
Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea.”
*DID YOU EVER NOTICE THAT JOHN SAID HE WAS IN THE TRIBULATION? DID YOU
EVER NOTICE THAT THE BOOK OF REVELATION WAS WRITTEN TO THE 7 CHURCHES IN ASIA
AND NOT TO YOU (IN THE 21ST CENTURY)?
Rev. 22:6 And he said to me, "These words are trustworthy and true.
And the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, has sent his angel to
show his servants WHAT MUST SOON TAKE PLACE."
Rev. 22:7 "And behold, I AM COMING SOON. Blessed is the one who
keeps the words of the prophecy of this book."
Rev. 22:10 And he said to me, "Do not seal up the words of the
prophecy of this book, FOR THE TIME IS NEAR.
Dan 8:26 “The vision of the evenings and mornings that has been given
you is true, but SEAL UP THE VISION, FOR IT CONCERNS THE DISTANT FUTURE.”
