Signs Of The Times  (2011 AD) ::

“Following a French initiative to restart negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority by convening a Middle East peace conference in Paris, the European Union is now advocating an international peace plan as an alternative to a unilateral Palestinian plan to secure state recognition at the UN in September. (Sept. 2011) 

In a letter to U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, the EU’s foreign policy chief, Catherine Ashton, called for the urgent convening of the Middle East Quartet. The Quartet–the U.S., EU, UN and Russia–would gather as a precursor for support for a peace [based upon President Barack Obama’s 1967 borders suggestion]. (Barak Ravid, “EU pushing peace plan based on Obama’s ’1967 borders’ speech,” Haaretz Daily Newspaper | Israel News. 6/14/11)

Many Bible prophecy students have long believed that Europe is the reviving Roman Empire out of which will emerge “the prince that shall come” (Daniel 9:26-27). The Beast, as Antichrist is called, will confirm a covenant of peace for seven years with Israel, and, in effect, with the other nations of the world, according to the prophet Daniel. The EU and Israel being at the center of this drive to institute a humanistic peace plan is the number-one signal that Christ is now at the door, readying to shout “come up hither!” (Rev 4:1-2).

Daniel’s 70 Weeks Prophecy

2011 Yom Teruah/Feast of Trumpets (‘Rosh Hashana’) Rapture Watch Archive for Yah-shua The Bridegroom at RaptureVillage.com – (Good Learning)

Matthew 25:1-13 :: Parable of The Ten Virgins

1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. (Jesus is just saying The Kingdom of Heaven is like 10 Virgins {Christians/Believer’s in Yah’shua}

2 And five of them were wise and five were foolish. (Self Explantory)

3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: (Self-Explantory) (Jesus “Why do you call me Lord, Lord and do not do the things I say – depart from me ye who work iniquity, I never knew you”)

4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. (Matthew 25: 23 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. Luke 19:17 And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities).

5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him (Jesus Return at The Rapture — Yah’shua (Jesus) is returning as the Bridegroom for His Bride The Church {The Church is portrayed as The Virgins in the Parable}

7 Then all those virgins (Christians/Believer’s in Yah’shua) arose, and trimmed their lamps.

8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. (Self Explanatory — The Worldly Christians vs The Faithful Christians)

9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so;  lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. (The wise Virgins – The Christians/The Bride, saying to the unfaithful Christians/Whoremongers, it is too late, you have not been faithful, Jesus has not been your first Love).

10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. (Yah’shua arrives for His Bride The Church, those that are watching for His Return/faithful go to The Marriage of The Lamb !)

11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. (The Un-Faithful Christians do not get Invited to the Marriage of the Lamb)

12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.

13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh. (The Rapture) which I believe will happen on a future Feast of Trumpets (the Feast where no man knows the day or hour of when it will begin) and it could be this year’s Feast !

Marantha ! — Perry Stone – Jewish Wedding/The Rapture

Enter His Gates with Thanksgiving and Praise ! \o/ May We all Hear these Words from Jesus (Yah’shua), Lord Willing :: Matthew 25: 23 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. Luke 19:17 And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.

Mark 12:30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength ::: 1 Corinthians 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him….

Let us Pray that we don’t hear these words :: Why do you call me Lord, when you do not do the things I say – Depart from me you who work iniquity, I never knew you (Jesus said if we obey Him, we will remain in His Love – Obeying means, not lusting with the Mind, being about his work) — Let us Fear God so that we will Have Wisdom! The Fear of The Lord is the Beginning of Wisdom — Worship too is Gold !

The Best Things To Live For ::

The Marriage Supper of The Lamb — Blessed (Well off, To Be Envied) are all those invited (called) To The Marriage Supper of The Lamb — This could be a Celebration that could last for an Entire 7 Years or for a 1,000 Years.

Psalm 16:11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

\o/ The Saints Are Happy In Heaven because they followed Christ. They rejoice with Him Forever…..

The Lord is my inheritance and my cup; He alone will give me my reward. The measuring line has marked a lovely place for me, my inheritance is my great delight.

The Rapture – A Crown Given to All Who Love Jesus Appearing! ::: 2 Timothy4:7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: 8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

The Bema Seat – Store Up Treasure in Heaven! (Bema-Seat Web-Site) We will receive a Reward or maybe Rewards and/or a Crown(s) — This judgment may determine our “Glory/Honor/Prestige/Status/Reigning Power/Domain” During the 1,000 Year Millennial Reign of Jesus — We may be judged on everything — Our Faithfulness and Obedience to God, in doing what God has said to do in this Life. Examples ::: Resist Temptation, Obey, (Conduct/Behavior/Decisions) – Loving God with our whole heart, soul, mind and strength, Loving our Neighbor as our self — Feeding The Poor, Clothing The Naked, Sheltering The Homeless, Visiting the Sick and Imprisoned, (if we can’t do these things, giving to ministries that do, is hopefully just as good ) – Evangelizing, Winning Souls, Fisher of Men.

The 1,000 Year Millennial Kingdom or Millennial Reign of Jesus — We will be Kings and Priests if we are with Jesus when we leave this life, either by Death or Rapture. The Millennial Temple will be in Service as Written in the Book of Ezekiel, And The Feasts of Yahweh – (7  Feasts of  Israel) may be instituted again as well !

Revelation 1:6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

1 Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation,….

The Millennial Reign is one of the best things to live for in this life, because for a 1,000 Years we will be Kings and Priests ! Depending on our Faithfulness in this life to Jesus, our Works at The Bema Seat may determine how much “Reigning Power” we will have during the Millennium. (King of maybe a town? King of a City? King of 3 cities or more? King of a State? King of a Country/Nation?)

The New Jerusalem – The “Glory” of Our Houses/Mansions could be determined possibly by how we have lived our life on earth in relation to Jesus/The Bible.

Parables of reward – Jean-Louis Laflamme (facebook)
In several parables, Jesus indicated that faithful disciples would receive great rewards. Sometimes the reward is described as rulership, but Jesus also used other ways to describe our reward.

In the parable of the vineyard workers, the gift of salvation is symbolized by one day’s wage (Matthew 20:9-16). In the parable of the virgins, the reward is a marriage banquet (Matthew 25:10). In the parable of talents, the reward is described in general terms: being put “in charge of many things” and being able to “share your master’s happiness” (vv. 20-23).

In the parable of sheep and goats, the blessed disciples are allowed to inherit a kingdom (v. 34). In the parable of the servants, the faithful servant is rewarded by being put in charge of all the master’s possessions (Luke 12:42-44).

In the parables of the pounds, the trustworthy servants were given rulership over cities (Luke 19:16-19). Jesus promised the 12 disciples rulership over the tribes of Israel (Matthew 19:28; Luke 22:30). Members of the church in Thyatira were promised authority over the nations (Revelation 2:26-27).

Jesus advised his disciples to “store up for yourselves treasures in heaven” (Matthew 6:19-21). By this, he implied that what we do in this life will be rewarded in the future…

To Clear up The Confusion of : “What is A Talent?”  In Relation To The Parable of The Talents — Hint it is not a “Talent” God has given, like:  Sports, Singing, Sculpture, Painting/Art Work, Writing, Architecture, Design, Teaching, Tradesman, Businessman, etc.., but those things – in an indirect/direct way, relate to the meaning of the word Talent in the Parable !

This is what a Talent is, A Talent is A Large Sum of Money — In The Parable it is a sum of money given to a Servant from His Master according to his ability — The Parable is telling us Jesus wants us to do Business Until He Returns – Business For Him and just “Human Responsibility” – http://www.jacksequeira.org/bstudy18.htm

This is what a Talent/Mina is ::
Here’s the calculation:

• 1 talent = 60 minas
• 1 mina = 3 month’s wages
• 1 talent = 60 x (3 months’ wages) = 180 months’ wages
• 1 talent = 180 months’ wages / 12 months in a year = 15 years’ wages
• 1 talent = 15 years’ wages

So if a yearly wage is $15,000 (about 40hrs/week at CA min wage ($8/hr), Then:

From: wiki.answers.com… | sources: Weights and Measures Table in NIV study bible
Footnote of NIV Bible Luke 19:13

1 Talent Person = $225,000
3 Talent Person = $675,000
5 Talent Person = $1,125,000

That’s kind of a lot of ‘money’ Jesus has given to us   — In talking about Mina’s I think Greg Laurie was saying that is maybe just a person’s life.  — Greg Laurie – Minas –

The Parable is telling us Jesus wants us to make something happen/To do Business For Him.  Also, to maybe just make the most out of our lives but with a major focus in Relation to Jesus Kingdom.

Remember This :: Matthew 13:23 But he that received seed (The Word of God) into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

The Business that Jesus wants us to be about doing ::

• Evangelism – Fisher of Men – Giving our Lives to The Gospel as much or best as we can – Handing out Tracts (Preaching, Teaching – if this is our gift/place in The Body) — Edifying each other/The Body of Christ.  | — 1 Corinthians 12 | 1 Corinthains 13
• Feeding The Poor, Sheltering The Homeless
• Visiting The Imprisoned and Sick
• Clothing the Naked/Giving Water to someone — In Jesus Name
• Utilizing our Gifts from the Holy Spirit 1 Corinthians 12 or 1 Corinthians 13 (Love)
• If we can’t do some/lot of things above, giving to Ministries that do those things is Hopefully just as good !

The Catholic Catechism says: The Purpose of Life is: To Know, Love & Serve God – So if anyone is living their life without these three things in view, that person’s life is pretty much null and void – even though they may be a Successful Person by the world’s standards, i.e. Money, Job, House, Business, Stocks and such.

In Relation To Our “Abilities” in Relation to the Money of Talents being distributed — Each person is given money according to their Abilities :: Defintion of Ability

But Let’s Remember All These Things Too ::

The Seven Gifts of The Holy Spirit :: From Wikipedia (looks like good info)

1. Wisdom
2. Understanding
3. Counsel
4. Fortitude
5. Knowledge
6. Piety
7. Fear of The Lord

Interesting to note in America :: If you have a roof over your head, clothes on your back and food in the refrigerator, you are among the top 75% Richest in The World.

If you have money in your wallet, bank and some spare money/change in a dish you are among the top 92% Richest in The World — The Scripture Verse: To whom much is given, much is required.

The Parable of The Minas (Greg Laurie Message) – has a Millennial Reign Aspect to it possibly — In The Book of Revelation it says we will be Kings with Jesus and will Rule and Reign with Him. It could be how we have lived our life on earth, will determine how much authority we will have — Maybe Jesus will set some as ruler over 10 cities, or over a Nation etc..

The Bible says too, that God will wipe away Every Tear — There is probably going to be in The Millennium, Differing Degrees of Exaltation — Hence when Eternity Starts after the Millennium, this could be when God wipes away all tears.

At The Bema Seat of Jesus – A Person’s Life is going to be Evaluated — Some may do good and others not so good – hence tears.

Parable of The Talents/Parable of The Minas/Parable of The Sower

Parable of The Talents

Matthew 25:14 For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. 15 And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey. 16 Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents. 17 And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.
