Jesus coming back to judge the world May 11, 2011? Not yet!
Recently some are advocating Jesus is coming back to judge the world.
They say it is the judgment day! But I know this cannot be!
This time, it is easy to find out. We have less than a month to find out!
A. 1 Thes.4:16-17
For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with
the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead
in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left
will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the
air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.
1. Yes, 1 Thes.4:16 says, the Lord himself will come down from heaven.
But 1 Thes.4:17 says, the Lord himself will not come down to earth!
It is the saved saints rise up to meet the Lord in the air!
And the saved saints will be with the Lord forever!
2. It is simple English, common people know what it means.
Please do not let any preacher tell you otherwise!
B. Rev.20:6
Blessed and holy are those who have part in the first resurrection.
The 2nd death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ
and will reign with him for a thousand years.
1. This is the verse that stirred up their selfish vain fantasy!
They say this verse tells them, Jesus will come back to earth to establish
a 1000 year kingdom and the saved will reign with him for a 1000 years.
I say this is their vain fantasy!
2. First of all, their interpretation of Rev.20:6 contradict 1 Thes.4:17!
Therefore their teaching must be wrong!
C. I like to take this verse as an example to explain how the Spirit guides
people to know the truth in the Bible!
Please learn it well and share with others!
So more people will know the truth and be saved in the Lord!
We must know how God reveal His will to us!
1. Is.28:13-->
Therefore shall the word of Jehovah be unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept;
line upon line, line upon line; here a little, there a little; that they may go, and fall
backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
It is here a little, there a little!
We have to spend time in search of these little and spent time to put them together
to form a picture!
This way, even if sometime we miss a little, we will know!
Because in a whole picture we can see how the little must fit!
2. 1 Cor.2:11-->
For who among men know the things of a man, save the spirit of the man, which is in him?
even so the things of God none know, save the Spirit of God.
This little tells us, it takes the Spirit of God to know things of God!
3. 1Jn.5:7-->
It is the Spirit bears witness, because the Spirit is the truth.
This little tells us the Spirit is the truth.
4. John 17:17 Sanctify them in the truth: thy word is truth.
This little tells us God’s word in the Bible is truth!
D. With the above 4 scriptures in mind, we are able to interpret Rev.20:6!
The scripture as recorded-->
Blessed and holy are those who have part in the 1st resurrection.
The 2nd death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ
and will reign with him for a 1000 years.
We see there are 4 parts in this verse!
1. Blessed and holy are those who have part in the first resurrection!
2. the second death has no power over them.
3. They will be priests of God and of Christ.
4. They will reign with Christ for a thousand years.
Words of the Bible make the message clear and simple!
(1) What or when is the first resurrection? At time of baptism! Ro.6:4
(2) How are they blessed and holy? Acts 2:38, Ro.8:16
At baptism sins are forgiven! They receive the gift of the Holy Spirit!
These two made them children of God, 2nd death has no power over them!
(3) They will be priests of God and of Christ. 1 Peter 2:5,9 said so!
With God’s mercy you will know from these 2 verses,
the church of Christ is the 1000 years kingdom!
(4) In the 1990s I used to think, the last part of Rev.20:6 is hard!
How the saved are to reign with Christ for a 1000 years?
E. Thank God, I found Matt.28:18-20 and Mark 16:15-16!
1. Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has
been given to me.” Matt.28:18 Jesus is king at year of 33 A.D.
2. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name
of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to
obey everything I have commanded you. Matt.28:19-20
Please also read Mark 16:15-16 then you will know preaching the gospel is like ruling
with Christ!
This is how the saved saints reign with Christ! By going into all the world
preaching to gospel, baptized them, and teaching them to obey everything
Jesus had commanded!
3. Jesus promised: Surely I am with you always, to the end of the age.Mt.28:20
F. How about the 1000 years and the end of the world?
1. The 1000 years is a long period of time!
Start with the year of 33 A.D. to the end of the world!
The word thousand is symbolic!
It means a long period of time!
Just like the key and a great chain in the angel’s hand! Rev.20:1
If anyone wants to say, the 1000 year is literally 1000 years,
then I say the key in angel’s hand has been given to me and I put it in my pocket!
2. As for when is the judgment day! Please read articles I had posted on web!
Yes, the end of the world will come! But 5/11/11 is not the judgment day!
My advice is this! Faithful servants do not care when the Lord will come!
May the Lord bless you and keep you always! Preach this on April 17, 2011.
