OTY: The Revelation "BEGINNING TO THE END" (B) -Gospel Truth

(Continued)

FROM THE FIRST COMING OF JESUS
TO THE DESTRUCTION OF JERUSALEM AND THE TEMPLE CAME NEXT

    Israel was expecting the Messiah-ref Lk 2:25,36,38. Then Jesus was born of a virgin-ref Lk 1:26,27,35; 2:4-7. The birth, life, crucifixion, and rising from the dead of Jesus, fulfilled hundreds of Scriptures. The Scriptures give us approximately 172 reasons that Jesus came the first time. Jesus grew-ref Lk 2:40. His ministry began when He was about the age of thirty-ref Lk 3:21-23. He fasted forty days-ref Lk 4:1,2.

The devil tempted Him-ref Lk 4:3-13. There were many witnesses and proofs that Jesus is the only begotten Son of God. Jesus had said many times, I AM. Many Scriptures covered the ministry of Jesus which were fulfilled. Jesus healed many-ref Lk 4:31,32,40. He cast out devils. THE MULTITUDES MARVELED-Mt 9:33; Lk 4:41. Jesus raised the dead-ref Lk 7:11,12,14-16.


    Jesus preached on multitudes of subjects. Some included, repentance-ref Mt 4:17; denying oneself-ref Lk 9:23; fearing God-ref Lk 12:4,5; covetousness-ref Lk 12:15,22,23,30-34; your lights burning, waiting for the Lord's return, watching, and doing-ref Lk 12:35-37,43. Jesus mentioned water baptism-ref Mk 16:16, and He taught that MANY...WILL SEEK TO ENTER IN, AND SHALL NOT BE ABLE-Lk 13:23,24.


    Then Jesus entered Jerusalem-ref Mk 11:7,11. He was betrayed by Judas, one of His apostles-ref Lk 22:47,48. He was led away captive-ref Jn 18:12,13. Jesus was tried, and declared guilty of blasphemy by the high priest-ref Mk 14:61-64.


    As it is written, FOR OF A TRUTH AGAINST THY HOLY CHILD JESUS, WHOM THOU HAST ANOINTED, BOTH HEROD, AND PONTIUS PILATE, WITH THE GENTILES, AND THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL, WERE GATHERED TOGETHER-Acts 4:27. AND...THE CHIEF PRIESTS AND THE RULERS AND THE PEOPLE...CRIED...CRUCIFY HIM, CRUCIFY HIM-Lk 23:13,21. THEN...THE PEOPLE…SAID, HIS BLOOD BE ON US, AND ON OUR CHILDREN-Mt 27:25.

AND PILATE GAVE SENTENCE THAT IT SHOULD BE AS THEY REQUIRED-Lk 23:24. And HE HAD JESUS FLOGGED, AND HANDED HIM OVER TO BE CRUCIFIED-Mk 15:15 NIV. AND THEY CRUCIFIED HIM-Mt 27:35.


    The blood of Jesus, our Passover Lamb, had to be shed. MANY WHO WERE APPALLED (or astonied) AT HIM - HIS APPEARANCE WAS SO DISFIGURED BEYOND THAT OF ANY MAN AND HIS FORM MARRED BEYOND HUMAN LIKENESS-Isa 52:14 NIV.


    Even while He was on the cross, He was tempted in many ways-ref Mt 27:39-44; Lk 23:36,37. AND WHEN JESUS HAD CRIED WITH A LOUD VOICE, HE SAID, FATHER, INTO THY HANDS I COMMEND MY SPIRIT: AND HAVING SAID THUS, HE GAVE UP THE GHOST-Lk 23:46.


    Jesus was buried. NOW IN THE PLACE WHERE HE WAS CRUCIFIED THERE WAS A GARDEN; AND IN THE GARDEN A NEW SEPULCHRE, WHEREIN WAS NEVER MAN YET LAID. THERE LAID THEY JESUS-Jn 19:41,42.


    The tomb Jesus was laid in was secured, so no one could steal His body away. PILATE SAID...(Take a guard): GO YOUR WAY, MAKE IT AS SURE (or secure) AS YE CAN. SO THEY WENT, AND MADE THE SEPULCHRE SURE (or secure), SEALING THE STONE, AND SETTING A WATCH (or posting the guard)-ref Mt 27:62-66.


    Yet despite the precautions, Jesus rose from the dead-ref Mt 28:2-7; as was also prophesied-ref Acts 13:34,35; Ps 16:10. Following His resurrection, Jesus appeared to many-ref 1 Cor 15:6; Mk 16:15-18. Also HE (Jesus) SHOWED HIMSELF ALIVE AFTER HIS PASSION (or suffering) BY MANY INFALLIBLE PROOFS, BEING SEEN OF THEM FORTY DAYS-Acts 1:3.


    Jesus gave commissions and instructions after His resurrection. Then Jesus ascended up to heaven. AND HE (Jesus) LED THEM OUT AS FAR AS TO BETHANY, AND HE LIFTED UP HIS HANDS, AND BLESSED THEM-Lk 24:50. AND WHEN HE HAD SPOKEN THESE THINGS, WHILE THEY BEHELD, HE WAS TAKEN UP; AND A CLOUD RECEIVED HIM OUT OF THEIR SIGHT-Acts 1:9. Nevertheless, He is going to return. As it is written, THIS SAME JESUS, WHICH IS TAKEN UP FROM YOU INTO HEAVEN, SHALL SO COME IN LIKE MANNER AS YE HAVE SEEN HIM GO INTO HEAVEN-Acts 1:11.


    Jesus is now in heaven, and sits on the right hand of God the Father-ref 1 Pe 3:22; Mk 16:19; Heb 10:12. He MAKETH INTERCESSION FOR the saints-Ro 8:34; ref Heb 7:25. The Bible gives us many names for Jesus in the Revelation.


    Then Judas, the apostle that betrayed Jesus, was replaced by Matthias as the twelfth apostle-ref Acts 1:21,22,24-26.


    Within a generation of the crucifixion of Jesus, Jerusalem and the temple were destroyed-ref Lk 21:20-24; Dan 9:26; Mt 23:34-38. Through out the Old Testament and New Testament, the second coming of Jesus was prophesied. The various things Jesus went through had very significant meanings. The resurrection of Jesus was proven in many ways.

FROM THE DESTRUCTION OF JERUSALEM AND THE TEMPLE
TO LEADING UP TO THE REBIRTH OF ISRAEL AND MOST OF THE CHURCH AGE CAME NEXT

    It was prophesied that Israel would be destroyed. It was.
    It was prophesied that Israel would be scattered among the islands of the sea, even among the heathen. It happened.
    It was prophesied that Israel would be sifted or dispersed among all nations. It came to pass.
    It was prophesied that Israel would abide many days without a king. This prophecy came to pass.
    It was prophesied that Israel would abide many days without a sacrifice. It happened.
    It was prophesied that Israel would serve other gods. It came to pass.


    God's Word gives us the definition of what the church is.

Then God's Word outlines for us seven churches-ref Rev 2:1 to 3:22. The first of the seven churches began at Pentecost. Over the past 1900 plus years, prophecies listed in these churches have come to pass.

This time period brings us up through the first six churches. During the course of these churches, God's Word gave us specific events that would happen. He gave us information about persecutions that would happen during various time periods. He gave us information of how Satan would attack the church through severe persecutions, a lessened amount of persecutions, and false doctrines.

From these churches more information is derived about Jesus, about good and bad things regarding each church, about things that would happen, and what to do. Exhortations were given, and promises to them that overcame. Rewards were listed, followed with words such as, "If any man have ears to hear, let him hear," which would characterize the entire church.

FROM THE REBIRTH OF ISRAEL TO THE RAPTURE IS THE TIME PERIOD WE ARE NOW IN

    It was prophesied that one day, many days in the future, that Israel would be reborn into a nation. This event happened exactly as was prophesied. The rebirth of Israel represents a time clock, signifying the beginning of a countdown. From this event, we entered into a time period called the latter days. The generation of the rebirth of Israel would include Jesus actually returning to this earth, and the gathering together of the elect.


    Beginning with the rebirth of Israel, the Scriptures give us approximately 360 signs or prophecies to look for that would indicate an event called the Tribulation was about to begin; yet the Bible foretells that despite all the signs, despite the overwhelming evidence that God’s Word has given us, that most people would not believe these things.


    These prophetic events that a person could look for once Israel was reborn as a nation, include: prophecies about Israel, Jerusalem, the church, a false religion, religious deception, what people would be like, Russia, Ethiopia, Egypt, Libya, other nations and cities, and the Far East.

These prophecies also include: gold and silver, a place for worship in Israel, the currency in Israel, inventions, the European Economic Community, specific events and things that would happen, and miscellaneous other prophecies. Since the rebirth of Israel on May 14, l948, one by one, this huge list of over 300 prophecies have come to pass; yet despite this overwhelming, unmistakable proof from God's Word, people still refuse to understand that the worst time, since man has been on the earth, is about to happen. It is called the Tribulation.

Prophecy Digested

Prove All Things knowing that all Prophecy is about Jesus and God revealing His Son…To us..for our…Salvation. We post material that is questionable, objectionable, and in the opinion of the Editor of the Prophetic Perspective, valid to use as God chooses to. Sometimes that is highly suspect as material setting “dates” of the Rapture is, but often these posts, may have pieces that are correct to futher study.
