Jesus Christ is Coming!

Jesus Christ Will Return Soon!
Some say you will never see Jesus again:

Pessimistic attitudes are greater today than ever before!
There are even some "Believers" that don’t believe Jesus will return!

Man has never been right about anything, so why listen to the words or even debate what man says? You can take what man has to say and I'll take what the Bible has to say. TIME WILL TELL WHO IS RIGHT

In II Peter 3:3-4 The Bible says (KJV); Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. (today they go even farther and deny creation and leap to the big bang evolution theory.)
I Thessalonians 4:16,17 Paul writes under the direction of the Holy Spirit these words and God saw fit to retain it for this Testament.

V-16 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: 17 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. There are even some that deny the teaching of the resurrection but if you are willing to tear out some of the pages of the Bible, the whole book must be thrown out. All 66 Books

In Matthew Chapter 25: (Jesus tells a story of ten virgins)
They were all given the same instructions but 5 of them decided to do it their way. Maybe they were to tired to go get some oil or maybe they thought what they had would be enough to get them through. In any case only the 5 that followed the instructions to the letter were ready when the Bridegroom came.

V-6 “And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the Bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet Him.” Those that were ready and watching trimmed their lamps and went.
The main thought is, Be ready, Watchful, and Obedient to the instructions.
V-13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

Matthew 24:36-38 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. 37 But (here is a clue) as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark,

The World was full of:
Compromise
Corruption & Violence
Families broken apart
Eating & Drinking
Open Sin, no restraints.
This looks a lot like America today!
The Bible is here to stay! There has been all kinds of Governments, Kings, and all kinds of God-Haters in times past doing everything in their power to get rid of the Bible but it is still here! Notice Matthew 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

Jesus is coming soon!1. He makes a Promise: John 14:1-3 Let not your heart be troubled: you 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 you may be also.

2. Angels said, He is coming back!

In the Book of Acts chapter one and verse nine; We read that a cloud received Jesus as he went up in the air and He disappeared from their sight.
V-10,11
And while they (His followers) looked steadfastly toward heaven as he (Jesus) went up, behold, two men (Angels) stood by them in white apparel; 11 Which also said, You men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as you have seen him go into heaven.

3. Peter is a witness:
Some want to say this is all a bunch pipe dreams, or fiction, this stuff didn't really happen. Peter answers this in second Peter 1:16 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

4. John says we’ll be like Him!
John, 1 John 3:2 2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

5. James calls for patience!
James, 5:7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.

6. Paul says our thoughts and conversation should be Heavenly! This word conversation means a lot more than what we say. Our total characteristics should show the image of Godliness.In Philippians chapter 3 verses 20 & 21 we read these words. For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: 21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
Our bodies will under go a complete change. However the Bible says we will be known as we are known. That leads me to believe there will be a likeness of each one of us from the old to the new.
See the article I wrote about "Will We Know Each other in Heaven"

Who Can Go When He Comes?1. Psalmist says those who are clean!
Psalms 24:3,4 3Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place? 4He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, (sold out to worldly things) nor sworn deceitfully. (or lied)

2. Have you got sin in your life?

Isaiah 55:6,7 Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: 7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. Even if you have gone away from the Lord, you can still call upon Him and he will pardon your sin. What a great God!

3. Jesus said, John 8:34 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.

4. Revelation 21:8 Tells us, "But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death."

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Let me conclude with this. I believe Jesus is coming and probably a lot sooner than we even think. The words that you have just read are mostly God's Words.
If you have not given your heart and life over to Jesus Christ I hope you will consider doing so before it's to late. Find a Church that teaches the whole Bible. Read the Bible for yourself, you will be surprised what happens. The Bible doesn't need for me or anyone else to defend it. It will defend itself! It is alive!

If I can help you drop me an e-mail.
