In summary, the cited passages state that anyone and everyone that has not been reborn as their
true, spiritual self (born from above, from God), cannot see nor understand
ANYTHING spiritual, and thus has
INVERTED VISION, seeing everything upside down and backwards, through
HUMAN eyes. If one cannot see the Kingdom of Heaven here on Earth, which is inside them and all around them (
Luke 17:21;
Thom. 1:6), how can they possibly enter it?
If you would like a very simple example of how this works, look at what
YOU are doing right now. All that was personally done to invoke your venomous attack was to cite two passages straight out of Scripture, for everyone's benefit, including your own. Instead of
HUMBLY considering the passages, which are life and death serious, you allowed your ego/self (that both Christ and Paul plainly state
MUST be crucified
DAILY - Luke 9:23; Gal. 2:20) to launch yet another totally irrational personal attack.
A personal attack (ad hominem) is the weapon of choice for the ego, because it intentionally deflects attention from the subject matter and message being discussed to the messenger delivering it. It's among a lengthy list of logical fallacies routinely employed by the ego to prevent the truth from getting past it to the real you: the spirit-Being (Soul). Please feel free to look it up, and see and study for yourself why it is totally illogical.
Because you are suffering from inverted vision, seeing things upside down and backwards, what your ego has conned you into believing is false is actually true, which means you are literally and foolishly attacking the
TRUE Messiah/Christ and the TRUTH about
His Second Coming.
Have you ever met JAH? No. Has JAH ever done anything to you personally? No. Have I, His Disciple done anything personally to you other than to share the truth with you in the hope that you awaken from your spiritual slumber before it's too late? No. And yet you and the other so-called "Christians" here -- who couldn't be less Christ-like -- cannot simply and rationally discuss what should be the most important and joyful subject in all of Christendom: the return of Christ right before Judgment Day, when
ALL of us are due to be judge by Him (
John 5:22). Instead, your minds are
FILLED with hatred and arrogance, which invariably blinds you to the truth, even when it is right before your eyes.
Correct.
Acts 1:9-11.
Except that it
DOES tell us that just before Judgment Day, Christ will return in a
NEW BODY (from Joseph-Ephraim -
Gen. 49:10;
22-24), with a
NEW NAME (
Rev. 2:17;
3:12;
19:12), to explain the mystery of God to us (
Rev. 10:7-10) exactly as Christ promised His Disciples he would do 2000 years ago (
John 16:25).
Two dozen prophecies concerning Christ's Second Coming may be found at the following link for anyone who is interested in the truth about this subject:-
https://gibraltar-messenger.net/jahtruth/the-scriptural-marks-of-christ/
The
LOGICAL way to approach the review of these prophecies, for anyone who genuinely loves and wishes to serve Christ, would be to study them thoroughly and objectively, and then (afterwards) see if they fit any specific individual, exactly as all of the prophecies very obviously fit The Messiah/Christ inside of Jesus 2000 years ago.
We are very plainly told that Christ's Second Coming will be
like a thief in the night for most.
1 Thessalonians 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the Day of the Lord so cometh
as a thief in the night.
2 Peter 3:10 But The Day of The Lord will come
as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the Earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
A thief comes in the night, when it is dark and everyone is asleep, so that he can take whatever he wishes by surprise, undetected by those who are asleep. If Christ was coming again in the body of Jesus, there would be no need for a
NEW NAME, would there?
So why would Christ's Second Coming be described that way and what would He be coming to gather and take? The Elect, i.e. those who haven't been duped by satanic organized religions (which Christ condemned along with their leaders) and who hear and recognize The Shepherd's Voice.
Christ will enlighten the "House of Israel", aka the Elect, during His Second Coming, right before Judgment Day, exactly as prophesied. And when will Christ then be seen by
ALL of the tribes and kindred of the Earth?
AFTER He sheds the body that He's currently using (
Matt. 24:28) to show us plainly about the Father and is
THEN seen coming in the "Clouds", with the heavenly host and with great glory,
exactly as He departed in Acts 1:9-11.
Matthew 24:30-31
24:30
And then shall appear the Sign ("Star") of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall ALL the tribes of the Earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of Man coming in the "Clouds" of heaven with power and great glory.
24:31
And he shall send his angels (Rev. 12:7) with a great sound of a trumpet (7th.), and they shall gather together his Elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Revelation 1:7 Behold, he cometh with "Clouds"; and every eye shall see him, and they [also] which pierced him: and all kindreds of the Earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
A thief in the night is obviously
NOT seen by everyone, and Christ
MUST fulfill
ALL of the prophecies about
His Second Coming, so it should be self-evident that Christ
WILL be here before Judgment Day to fulfill those prophecies describing where He will be and what He will be doing during the greatest oppression/tribulation this world has ever seen (which we are currently experiencing).
Therefore,
IF you diligently search for and study the prophecies to find Christ -- again exactly as Christ instructed His Followers to do (
John 5:39).
As previously explained (and apparently ignored by you) Christ doesn't have to tell Charles anything, just as I don't have to explain all of these things to you, which will most likely fall on the spiritually deaf ears of most who frequent this section of the forum.
THE CROWN AND THRONE OF ISRAEL HAS ALREADY BEEN PROMISED TO CHRIST BY GOD HIMSELF (
Ezek. 21:25-27;
Luke 1:31-33)
, WHO ALWAYS SAYS WHAT HE MEANS AND MEANS WHAT HE SAYS.
It therefore should be self-evident that the fulfillment of this
PROMISE/PROPHECY FROM GOD requires
NOTHING from Charles. It is a final offer graciously being made to Charles for his benefit (should he choose to accept to help Christ rather than continue working against Him),
and to awaken those who are still spiritually asleep (
Dan. 12:1-2;
Eph. 5:14).
Of course to those who are among the spiritually "dead" (Matt. 8:22), who are
NOT written in the Book of Life (
Rev. 13:8)
because of their lack of faith (
Luke 18:8), all of this will be seen upside down and backwards, as folly, through their
human eyes.
If Christ already had the Crown and the Throne, then why would Father need to give it to Him? Agreed about Satan being on borrowed time, which is rapidly running out for all of us.
Christ will ALWAYS be hated and persecuted here in hell (planet Earth), because 99.99+% of this world's population
has no love for the Truth.
John 3:19-21
3:19
And this is the condemnation, that Light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than Light, because their deeds were evil.
3:20
For every one that doeth evil hateth the Light, neither cometh to the Light, lest his deeds should be revealed.
3:21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the Light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
John 15:19-23
15:19
If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world HATETH you.
15:20
Remember the Truth that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they WILL also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.
15:21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not Him that sent me.
15:22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.
15:23 He that hateth me hateth my Father also.
As above please. There would be no way for Christ to return as a thief in the night, i.e. meekly into this dark and evil world where virtually everyone hates Him
AND be seen by everyone at the same time. When everyone sees Christ coming in the "Clouds" with great glory, immediately
AFTER the body He is currently using dies, it will be too late for anyone to repent/do anything to change their fate, as Judgment Day will be upon us all.
This should be a
VERY sobering thought to motivate anyone who is truly awake spiritually, to wisely use what little time we have left to get their own house in order, rather than pretend that they have a "get out of jail free card" to play after willfully refusing to stop their sinful/selfish/evil ways.
Peace be upon you.
