Jesus is Coming Back

 

The words of Jesus in the entirety of Matthew 24 is an answer to a question that is asked HIM by HIS disciples. It’s an answer to this one question.

Matt 24:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?   KJV

There are multiple things that Jesus points to in answer to these questions.

I want to start with the one that is most often quoted and repeated. Jesus points to many events’ future, yet to the past also. It is here I want to begin. Jesus calls to memory Noah.

Matt 24:37 But as the days of Noe 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 Noe entered into the ark,

39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.    KJV

Jesus uses the word (days) and (day). Note the words (before) and (flood.)

Jesus is telling what is happening leading up to the day, before HIS coming. Do not forget or overlook that at the same time as Noah and his family are being saved inside the ark. The same event (flood) is condemning those outside the ark. We see simultaneously (SALVATION, or DELIVERANCE) but we are also seeing (JUDGMENT.)

1.      The time before the (flood) before HIS coming. Jesus said, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

2.      The same day as the (flood) came and delivered Noah. It condemned the world. Judgment- the same day… Tribulation, judgment falls on the earth.

Jesus isn’t grabbing one thread here. It’s the whole garment that reveals the truth in a multifaceted way.

3.      This will be worldwide and while the believers are being taken out of. Given escape. Judgment is seen upon the disobedient the same day.

      Isn’t it amazing? Noah knew. Noah also knew that escape was not coming as long, as the Ark was not ready.

      One of the last things that Noah would do in preparing the ark the bible says, he pitched it within and without.

Gen 6:14 Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.    KJV

This word… PITCH—is seen in obedience. It is revealed in what Noah did on the inside of the Ark as well as the outside of the Ark. This word (PITCH) means (ATONEMENT, TO SEAL--- TO KEEP THE PRESSURE, THE WATERS (SEALED) TO THE OUTSIDE WHILE KEEPING THOSE ON THE INSIDE SEALED, AND SAFE.

WHAT WAS ON THE OUTSIDE AS FAR AS SIN WAS CONCERNED… WICKEDNESS, LAWLESSNESS. THE BIBLE USES THIS WORD---VIOLENCE. This word means, CRUELTY, FALSE, DAMAGE, TO OPPRESS.

The depiction is this. As the days of Noah were… The same thing that brought deliverance to Noah and his family and judgment upon the rest. Jesus lets us know, these same things would exist to the point of (OVERWHELMING) on the day of HIS RAPTURE AND JUDGMENT.

This fulfills the words of the last post. PERILOUS, DANGEROUS TIMES OF THE LAST DAY. YET, WITH THAT ANNOUNCEMENT THERE IS ALSO AN ESCAPE COMING.

DO NOT FORGET.

39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.   

While the at the same time the ark was being built and even finished. The bible says of the disobedient they did not know. You know what that means? The final event before the flood or Tribulation comes, will be the DISAPPEARANCE OF THE CHURCH.

Like a thief in the night. He has come and taken HIS CHURCH OUT OF HERE. While the church is preparing.

·                * While the church is worshipping.

·                * While the church is witnessing.

·                * While the church is faithful.

·                * While the church is praying.

·                * While the church is obeying.

THE WORLD KNEW NOT.
