Live in light of the resurrection. We need no longer fear death. Our souls will immediately be with Jesus and at Christ’s return, our bodies will become immortal. Remember, the disciples saw Jesus. They touched Him. They ate with Him. They witnessed His return to heaven.
He now sits at the right hand of the Father, awaiting the day He will bring us all home, to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles, a gathering together of all of His people. How blessed are we! When the Jewish people did not recognize their Messiah, even after all of the prophecies that were fulfilled at His first coming, God moved to the Gentile world.
And soon, God will bring us home and the world will move into the Day of Jacob’s trouble or the seven-year tribulation. The Jewish people will, over that period of time, recognize Jesus as Messiah and the new kingdom on earth and in heaven will begin.
The apostle, Paul, was once a Pharisee, one of the most highly regarded Jewish leaders. He wrote most of the New Testament after his miraculous encounter with Christ. Over and over again, he is called, "the apostle of the Gentiles." He defines many of the mysteries regarding the Gospel and the Jewish people. You may not know that Romans 9, 10 and 11 are all about Israel. He speaks to all Christians.
I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited. Israel has experienced a hardening in part, until the full number of the Gentiles has come in. Romans 11:25
Only God knows this number. We, the Gentiles, were welcomed into the family of God, which was supposed to be offered to us through Israel. We have been grafted into the original root. This may be confusing, but listen to these Words from Paul to the Gentile (non-Jewish) world.
If some of the branches have been broken off, and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root, do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches. If you consider this: You do not support the root. The root supports you. Romans 11:17-18
If the Gentile world was grafted in as a wild branch, how much more will God welcome back His chosen people? We don’t understand it all, but the Bible has been 100 percent true in all of the prophecies of the 1st coming (around 300) and there are many more regarding His second coming. Everything scientifically, archaeologically and historically recorded in the Bible has proven true. Read, study, follow. He is coming soon.
He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.” Amen. Come Lord, Jesus. The grace of the Lord, Jesus be with Bod’s people Amen Revelation 22:20-21
