Day 3: Mathew 24 – In Its Order

Day 3: Mathew 24 – In Its Order

·         “The twenty-fourth chapter of Mathew is presented to me again and again as something that is to be brought to attention of all. We are today living in the time when the predictions of this chapter are fulfilling. Let our ministers and teachers explain these prophecies to those whom they instruct.” EV 196.3

                                             Mathew 24 in Its Prophetic Order

Reference	Events	Remarks
Math 24:5-8	Many shall come in Jesus’ name, saying they are Christ; and shall deceive many; wars and rumours of wars; famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.	Early signs before Sunday Law; but the end is not yet
Math 24:9-29	·    Afflicted, killed; hated; betrayed; many false prophets shall rise and shall deceive many; love of many shall wax cold; (all will happen than we see now). ·    Final warning to all people given (loud cry) Math 24:14 ·    Appearing of false messiah (universal Christ) and false prophets - Math 24:23, 24. (Those who are now deceived and are waiting for secret rapture will cheerfully accept the false messiah Math 24:28). ·    Powers of the heavens shaken	Signs after the Sunday Law
Math 24:30-31	Visible Second coming (VSC) of Jesus (math 24:27, 30). Every eye shall see him. No secret rapture.	Assurance of VSC of Jesus

·         In fact, the secret rapture is so secret such that even the bible does not know about it. Only the eagles will go for the carcase (Math 24:28) but saints will be gathered (v.31).

·         In Math 24:32-35 are the lessons from the fig tree and Math 24:34,35 is an assurance that these events will surely happen. Math 25 is about preparations.

·         Contrary to the secret rapture theory, Jesus gives us a glimpse of Noah’s day in Math 24:36-41. “And knew not until the flood came” Verse 39. The ‘good’ were separated from the ‘bad’. However, Noah was not taken in secret. Thus, the good will be separated from the bad even if they work together (Math 24:40,41). Let us be watchful Math 24:42-51.

·         “The history which the great I AM has marked out in His word, uniting link after link in the prophetic chain, from eternity in the past to eternity in the future, tells us where we are today in the procession of the ages, and what may be expected in the time to come. ... and we may be assured that all which is yet to come will be fulfilled in its order”. {Ed 178.3} (Emphasis supplied)

The great storm is coming. Oh if we knew the time! – Luke 19:41 – 44

Now is the time, let’s repent, believe the gospel and be ready.

VOR Best Gospel Fun

Gaither Vocal Band

The Gaither Vocal Band got is start in the early 1980s with four guys singing around a piano backstage before a Bill Gaither Trio concert. Gary McSpadden, Steve Green, Lee Young and Bill Gaither were just having fun, harmonizing on “Your First Day in Heaven” when Bill decided they should try out their new sound on a live audience that very night. The audience went wild… and that impromptu performance marked the beginning of an era. 

The Isaacs

The Isaacs’ award-winning sound skillfully merges three distinct genres of music – bluegrass, gospel and country – into one brilliantly cohesive sound.  Lily Isaacs and her children, Ben, Sonya and Rebecca, have been making incredible music together for more than 30 years, and together they create an stellar combination of world-class instrumentation, power-packed vocals and intricate family harmony.  The group’s stellar sound is further rounded out by seasoned bluegrass instrumentalists Jesse Stockman (fiddle) and Troy Engel (banjo, guitar).

Day 2: “This Gospel” – The Coming of Elijah

Day 2: “This Gospel” – The Coming of Elijah

·         The bible calls the end-time gospel as “the coming of Elijah” – Malachi 4:5.

·         The end-time gospel calls people to worship the only true God and get ready to meet Jesus (John 1:23).

·         “This gospel” refers to the final-days prophecy calling God’s people to come back to the heavenly principles (Revelation 18:4).

·         It is “Elijah’s message” calling us to abandon false worship and turn to God (1 Kings 18, especially verse 21)

·         “The coming of Elijah” does not refer to the coming of an individual but the kind of message (see 1 Kings 18:21).

·         Pointing to Elijah’s message, in His time, Jesus calls John the Baptist the coming Elijah (Mathew 11:13,14; and Math 17:12,13). However, John denies it (John 1:21) and points to the message not to the messenger (John 1:23).

·         As in Malachi 4:5; the message of John the Baptist was Elijah’s message during the first coming of Jesus. The message will repeat before the second coming of Jesus. Before that great day of the Lord (Malachi 4:5).

·         John calls it the ‘everlasting gospel’ – Rev 14:6. He also calls it three Angels message – Rev 14:9. “This gospel”, Elijah’s message, the end time gospel, (everlasting gospel or three Angels message) focuses on the crisis over worship. The message calls the inhabitants of earth from worshiping the Beast, Its image, and Mark of the beast (Rev 13:16). (To be covered in the next series)

·         The end-time gospel will be preached just before the second coming of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ (Mathew 24:14, 15).

·         These series highlights “this gospel”, the end-time gospel in its prophetic order.

·         The bible says, (Mathew 24:14) after this final warning, will be the time of harvest and Jesus will come. Read also Rev 14:14; Mathew 13:24 – 30, 39.

The great storm is coming. Oh if we knew the time! – Luke 19:41 – 44
