LIFE IN HEAVEN – PART FIFTY
Sunday – April 7,2019, Nisan 2, 5779
TIME FRAME SIX
THE CATCHING AWAY TO THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST
Greetings most precious brothers and sisters of the Kingdom of God, what a privileged people we are, none like us before and none will ever follow like us. This is the fiftieth publication of this series. I am always so amazed and fascinated at how the Lord works things together. Today will end the sixth time-frame which is the time when the saints are all gathered to Heaven and the Jews recognize the Messiah. Fifty is the number of jubile, consider the following verse.
Leviticus 25:10 (KJV)
10 And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.
God’s family becomes complete in this time-frame. I also want to take a moment to
honor Patti, my precious help-meet of fifty-three and a half years, who departed to Heaven on the 9th of April 2018. As the famous song says, we can only imagine, but she is seeing face to face. For her all that was wrong is now very right, all the enemy stole from Patti is restored and more. What a marvelous Lord we serve full of Grace and mercy and He liberally pours it out on us. Now, let’s turn our attention to the lesson at hand and be reminded of the eight time-frames the Lord mandated I write about.
- Eternity before Genesis 1:1
- Genesis 1:1 to 1:2 (may have been billions of years)
- Genesis 1:3 to Genesis 3:6 the Day of Sin and Death
- Genesis 3:6 to Jesus putting His Blood on the Mercy Seat
- Resurrection to the Rapture
- Rapture or Catching Away to the Second Coming
- One Thousand Year Reign
- Eternity Future
Just as in ancient Israel after the bridegroom made the proposal to the bride, he would depart to his father’s house to prepare a place for the bride and himself. This might be an extension on the father’s home or a separate structure. When all was ready the father decided when he could go get the bride (Mark 13:32). Jesus came and offered Himself for us all, like the bride of ancient Israel we decide to accept or not.
John 14:1-3 (KJV)
1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
All who are of the family of God have a mansion in Heaven custom designed and made just for them. These mansions are not cookie cutter homes but of extraordinary quality and full of design and things which will thrill us for eternity perhaps. Perhaps there are times when we can change this or that just as we do with homes here in the earth. Immediately following Marriage Supper of the Lamb we find Jesus and His bride as well as the hosts of Heaven leaving for earth to the battle of Armageddon and the Millennial Reign. First let us look at the following passage about the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. The bride of Christ is complete at the end of the Tribulation period.
Revelation 19:7-9 (KJV)
7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
We tend to think in time and so one might ask, if the bride of Christ is not complete until the end of the Great Tribulation might there be time constraints. Perhaps this Marriage Supper is seven days not seven years. Do we believe that the persons saved during the Tribulation period are part of the Church, the bride of Christ? How long is the Marriage Supper of the Lamb? In a Jewish wedding I understand it is seven day feast, could that represent the whole seven year Tribulation period? Could it be that people are joining the Marriage Supper throughout the Tribulation? Or, could it be that the Marriage Supper does not occur in this time period? I definitely think it occurs in this time period so let’s take a deep dive here.
Over several years I have been fascinated by Quantum Physics as opposed to Classic Physics. This natural realm may well be limited to the speed of light however the quantum realm may have no limits. At the speed of light alone time is not a meaningful concept and in the quantum realm it does not exist, period. That is not to say there will not be a flow of events. It has struck me that the physical and quantum realm (perhaps the same as the unseen or spiritual realm) touch, and overlap to some degree or perhaps entirely with the quantum far exceeding the physical or created realm in energy. It appears from research (see Dr. Carolyn Leaf and her research and others) that the quantum realm exists in and about us and is energized by the degree to which we walk in love. So, the more we walk in love the quantum thrives and dominates the physical negating the curse and the less we walk in love the physical dominates and the fulness of the curse. You may be thinking that the boy (that is me) has completely lost it. The point I am getting at is this. Seven years measured on the earth does not limit the extent of activity or events in Heaven where the concept of time is meaningless. Ok, what is the bottom line I am getting too? A full and meaningful seven-year Marriage Supper in Heaven could occur in the final seconds (as measured on earth) of this time-frame as they are saddling the horses for the battle of Armageddon.
Until our next publication, confess the following passage and walk before Whom we have to do with great rejoicing and thanksgiving. This physical body is our humiliation but soon it will be no more for the glory of God and our eternal benefit.
John 14:1-4 (KJV)
1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
