End Time Series pt1 w/ Pastor How
Author: Carlo@hoGc // Category:Hi guys! today let me show you abt the time sequnce of when the 2nd of coming of Jesus is..
Eschatology= End times
Jesus is coming back! How do we know?
Witness of Jesus himself
Witness of the angels
Witness of Apostle Paul
> [1 Thessalonians 4:15 - 5:2]
What is the Time Sequence?
> [1 Thessalonians 4:15 - 5:2]
>"the Day Of The Lord" (DOTL)
> people will begin to mock and ridicule you for becoming a Christian
> DOTL
1st Key Fact:
The 2nd coming of Jesus Christ = DOTL
> DOTL= the day of God's wrath
> take note of the words "before" and "the Day of the Lord"
Therefore before DOTL there will be a massive blackout.
2nd Key Fact:
The blackout will happen before the DOTL
> take note of the word "after"
3rd Key Fact:
The black out will happen after the Great Tribulation(GT)
Therefore:
GT-> BLACKOUT -> DOTL
> GT
> times of persecution
Ressurection & Rapture
You have to be dead in Christ
> First ressurection
> Caught up= Rapture
Who will be Raptured?
> the rapture is a time of separations
> Those who are Christians who are prepared and not lazy and love others
> only those who have the substance of Christ will be Raptured
When is the Rapture?
4th Key Fact:
The rapture will happen during the DOTL
Therefore:
GT -> BLACKOUT -> DOTL(Second Coming & Rapture)
The rapture happens Post-Tribulation NOT Pre-Tibulation or Mid-Tribulation
DOTL=God's Wrath
But we as Christians do not have to worry about that because we will not go through it. God has a pattern where He always pulls out the righteous before He judges.
When the Rapture comes, the door of grace closes
[Luke 4:18-20] vs [Isaiah 61:1-2]
> there's a continuation to what Jesus said in Luke
> Jesus purposely left it out
So who gets in trouble during the DOTL?
> the wicked
> the sinners
> the unrepentant
Great Tribulation= devil's wrath
We will go through the GT because the devil wants to ake as much as he can because he knows he has a short time left
> If you don't strengthen your spirit now, how can you go through the GT
> That is why God allows bad things to happen to us
> to prepare and strengthen our spirit for the times to come
What you believe in will govern your decisions and your lifestyle.
