Psalm 23

This passage has been a comfort to many believers over the years, but will be fulfilled for the Jew during the 7 years of tribulation (yet to come).

23 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

Philippians 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Psalm 8

Speaks of the coming Kingdom on Earth.

O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.
Peter preaching to Jews Acts 4:12Paul wrote to Romans Romans 14:11
2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
This was quoted by Christ in Matthew 21:16
3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
4-6 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:
This was quoted by Paul in Hebrews 2:6-8
7 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;
8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
The Lord Jesus created everything. Ephesians 3:9, Colossians 1:16
9 O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
Every knee shall bow to the Lord Jesus. Romans 14:11

The final Judgement
Revelation 20:11-15 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Will you be in the Believer’s Judgement?

For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

Romans 12:1-2 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

Day of the Lord (2)

The phrase “The Day” appears 284 times in the Holy Scripture (KJV).
But just looking at the Day of The Lord.

Joel writing to the Israelites, mentions it 5 times. Joel 1:15, 2:1,11,31, 3:14
Amos writing to the Israelites, mentions it in Amos 5:18
Obadiah writing to the Israelites, mentions it in Obadiah 1:15
Zephaniah writing to the Israelites, mentions it 7 times.
Zephaniah 1:7,8,14,18, 2:2,3, 14:1
Peter, preaching to the Jews on the day of Pentecost, quotes Joel:
Acts 2:20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come:
A study of these Scripture reveals Israel of a coming destruction which Peter gives a final warning:
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.
Now, look at the writings of the Apostle Paul, to believers:
1 Corinthians 1:8 Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 5:5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
2 Corinthians 1:14 As also ye have acknowledged us in part, that we are your rejoicing, even as ye also are our’s in the day of the Lord Jesus.
Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
Philippians 2:16 Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.
1 Thessalonians 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
2 Thessalonians 2:2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.

THE DAY OF THE LORD, for the believer is NOT one of destruction; but a day of rejoicing, the Day of Rapture.

          Read 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

Day of Judgement

The Lord Jesus waned Israel about a coming Judgment:
Matthew 10:15 Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.
Matthew 11:22 But I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.
Matthew 11:24 But I tell you that it will be more bearable for Sodom on the day of judgment than for you.”
Mark 6:11 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.
Matthew 12:36 But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken.
The Apostle Peter warned Israel of the coming day of judgment:
2 Peter 2:9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
2 Peter 3:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
The Apostle John also warns Israel of the day of judgment:
1 John 4:17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
The Apostle Paul speaks to Believers:
Romans 1:32, 2:2-5, 5:16-18, 14:10 1 Corinthians 1:10, 4:3, 7:40
2 Corinthians 5:10 Galatians 5:10 Philippians 1:9 2 Thessalonian 1:5
1 Timothy 5:24

Mark of the Beast


What is it? Where does one see it? Is it inside or outside? Is it a tattoo? Is it an inserted chip? It will be required for everyone during the time of Jacob’s trouble, the 7-year Tribulation. Just what does the Scripture say? There are passages in Revelation that give insight to this Mark.
Revelation 13:11-12 defines who HE is in vs 16.
Notice the placing of the mark is
IN!!
Revelation 13:16-17 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
And again notice IN his forehead or in his hand.
Revelation 14:9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
More comments about the MARK.
Revelation 14:11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
Revelation 15:2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.
Revelation 16:2 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.
Results of receiving the MARK:

Revelation 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
UPON or IN?
Revelation 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

So, the question remains, is the MARK a tattoo or a chip inserted under the skin? Whatever it is, it marks and dooms all those who deny the true God, The Lamb of God, The Lord Jesus Christ.

Believers in the Lord Jesus, death, burial and resurrection and that He is God, don’t have to worry about this. WE will be gone.

Will Children be Raptured?

THE REAL Question.
This is not to imply that Babies who die don’t go to Heaven.
2 Samuel 12:32 David’s Son
But will Children be taken in the Rapture?
The answer should be based on Scripture, not emotion.

Rightly dividing the Word
Matthew 24:19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! (Mark 13:17, Luke 21:23)
Verses oft times quoted to prove Babies are Raptured. These verses are speaking of the middle of the Tribulation, not the Rapture.

No verses in Scripture either way.
Scripture sometimes leaves us with only principles not black and white fact.
i.e. Smoking, Movies, TV.

Some of the principles taught about children:
Genesis 6 The flood … Only Noah’s children spared.
Genesis 19 Sodom and Gomorrah … Only 2 of Lot’s Daughters
Numbers 16 Korah, Datham, Abiram withstood Moses -Read verse 27
Joshua 7 Achan sin … who paid for it -Read verse 24
Daniel 6 Who was thrown to the Lions when Daniel was removed?
Whether these children went to Heaven or not is pure speculation.

Do all Children go to Heaven?
It is taught that until a child reaches the age of accountability they do …
BUT this is not about when a child dies, it is about “will they be Raptured”.

The Tribulation lasts 7 years. see TRIBULATION
A child left behind has 7 years to become a believer and pass into the 1000 year kingdom.

Will Children be Raptured? Does it really matter?
The real question is will YOU be part of the Rapture when it occurs?
