Matthew 25 – 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.

The Crown of Life — James 1:12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, (approved) he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

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.

Daniel 12:2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.

4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, (Car & Air Travel likely meaning) and knowledge shall be increased.

• More new information will be generated this year than in the previous 5,000 years.
  
• The Technical Knowledge Explosion is governed by Moore’s Law which says computers will get twice as smart every 18-24 months.
  (Technical Knowledge I would maybe say is “Technology” or maybe just “Computer Stuff”)
• Listen to this:  ………. At this Exponential Rate, It’s estimated before too long, that the Sum Total of Human Knowledge will Double every 72 Hours
• The Amount of New Technical Information is Doubling Every Two Years.
• By 2010 it is predicted to double every 72 Hours.
• Predictions are that by 2013, a Super Computer will be built that exceeds the computation capability of the human brain.
• By 2049 a $1,000 Computer will exceed the Computational Capabilities Of The Entire Human Species

Very good Article from www.lamblion.com

 Good Web-page at www.israelsmessiah.com

Dr. James McDonald from Walk in the Word, said something like this:

• From the time of like Adam and Eve till like 1960, knowledge doubled.
• From 1960 to 1990 knowledge doubled again.
• From 1990 to 1995 knowledge doubled again.
• I think he said also knowledge might be doubling every five years now or something.

Psalm 102:16  When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory. (KJV) (Israel Seems To Be Pretty Built Up – Jesus Return could Be Near) 

Leviticus 23:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, (Dress Rehearsals) even these are my feasts. 3 Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.

Part II | Part III | Part IV | Part V | Part VI | Part VII | Part VIII

Leviticus 23:23 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 24 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation (Dress Rehearsal).

This is an excellent teaching – I think this is Mark Biltz from El Shaddai Ministries

God Bless, Shalom & Maranatha

The Feast of Trumpets each year may happen in either September or October – I’m almost going to “Admiral Status thinking” in thinking that this may be The Time of The Rapture — each Feast of Trumpets in Sept or Oct.

I’m going on Major Rapture Watch/Alert/Readiness Every Feast of Trumpets (The call though is to always have Oil in the Lamps, in Watching for Jesus to Return everyday)

Feast of Trumpets Dates ::

• 2011 – Sept 29
  
• 2012 – Sept 17
  
• 2013 – Sept 5
  
• 2014 – Sept 25
  

I don’t know what year the Rapture is going to take place, if it’s one of the four listed above, or in the Year 5010 But I think That The Feast:  The Feast of Trumpets, may be the Time of The Rapture !!!!!

note: Jesus Return could be super near, as world leaders are saying Peace and Safety, and The Bible says when they say Peace and Safety there will be sudden Destruction. (The Peace and Safety is Probably Daniel 9:27 which is the 7 Year Peace Deal that begins the End of The World)

Interesting Scripture Verses in The Title !!

• Holyday (Festival) or Feast Day ::: The Jewish Feast Days
• Sabbath Day(s) ::: The Sabbath Saturday was a day of rest – Holy Day – day to Worship God.

You all know what I’m thinking ::: Rapture ! Feast of Trumpets !

Here are The Jewish Feast Days — Notice they are a Shadow of Things to be ::

Four of The Feasts have already had Ful-fillment at Jesus First Advent:

1. Passover — (initiated by Moses the night before the Israelites left Egypt – when every first born Egyptian son died) (the blood of a lamb saved) ful-filled: When Jesus – The Lamb of God – died/was Crucified in 33 AD.
2. Feast of Unleavened Bread (link)– ful-filled:  When Jesus was Buried 33 AD – Perfect Sacrifice for Sin – Bread From Heaven
3. Feast of First Fruits – ful-filled:  By Jesus 33 AD When He Rose From The Dead
4. Feast of Pentecost — ful-filled: Arrival of The Holy Spirit 33 AD

Future Feasts — And Ful-fillments By Jesus at His Second Advent – God Willing !!!

1. The Feast of Trumpets — The Rapture ! — The Hidden Day – The Feast of  Trumpets — Always begins at an Unknown Time.
2. Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) – Doomsday for the Wicked – The Tribulation – Jesus Returns at Armageddon
3. Feast of Tabernacles – The 1,000 Millennial Reign of Jesus ! This Feast may be Synonymous with The 7th Day Sabbath/Saturday Rest too

Matthew 24:32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; (Israel) When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, (could mean – 1948 Israel became a Nation) ye know that summer is nigh: (could mean The End of The World is close) 33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. 34Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

A Generation may be 70 Years, which would put the end at 2018 from Israel’s re-birth in 1948 — However a Generation could be a 120 Years too. –

If The 70 Year Mark is correct, then next year – Daniel 9:27 may take place ><>

From the ashes of the Holocaust, Israel was Re-Born as a Nation in 1948 — Israel says never again — With Ahmadinejad of Iran possibly on his way to a Nuclear weapon and his constant words of hatred towards Israel — All I know is that the world is possibly heading towards a Serious Bible Prophecy Flashpoint ! The Prophecies of Ezekiel 38 & 39 with Russia, Iran & Others to attack Israel and with Daniel 9:27 that says a 7 Year Peace Deal will be Signed that begins the End of The World — Things are way Interesting.

• USA at 100% Debt to GDP
• There are Nuclear Bombs in the World
• Earthquakes ::: New Zealand Earthquake – New Fault line or something
• USA = Divorce at maybe 65% — Abortion at maybe 50+ Million — Pornography out of Control — Homosexuality becoming a factor  
• Israel a Nation – As Soon as a 7 Year Peace Deal is Confirmed with ‘The Many’, the End of The World Will Begin.
• A Tetrad (4 Blood Red Moons) occurring in 2014/2015 on YHVH’s Feast Days – 2014 could see the Beginning of The Tribulation.
• Possibility of wanting everyone to be chipped with an RFID Chip by 2017 – could be the 666 Mark, that the Anti-Christ will use.

2 Timothy 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

Pretty much Everything on a Bible Prophecy Level is ready to take place:

• A 200 Million man Army that China can possibly field alone or with others is real.
• Israel surrounded by the Possible Serious Threats of: Psalm 83 and Ezekiel 38 & 39
• And Isaiah 17:1 that says Damascus is going to be destroyed could be soon.

There is a chance The Rapture may happen at The Feast of Trumpets in 2014 — We are possibly in a Major “End” of all things as people know it Window. Only God knows though, we could all live and die and then go from There, Or we could be the one’s who see Jesus Return in our Life-Times, and possibly as soon as The Feast of Trumpets in 2014 or even sooner ::: http://www.thebemaseat.com/ – Store up Treasure in Heaven ><>

The Epistle of Barnabas ! -- The Book of Enoch has something similar too.

The Number 7 is The Number of Completion (7 Continents, 7 Spirits of God, 7 Candles on The Menorah, 7 Days of The Week, 7 Year Tribulation, 7 Feasts of YHVH)

We could be at the 6,000th Year on earth (Michael Rood Calendar) — One day to God is like a 1,000 Years and a 1,000 Years as 1 Day — The 7th Day is the Day of Rest (The Sabbath) – This may Equal The Millennial Reign, the 7,000th Year. 

The Epistle of Barnabas is saying that in 6,000 Years God is going to Finish everything.

Here is The Book of Enoch :: Read Chapters 33 and 29 !

The Years of 2014/2015 are going to see 4 Blood/Red Moons on YHVH’s Feast Days – which is interesting – this could signal the Beginning of The Tribulation possibly.  (Blood Red Lunar Eclipses and Solar Eclipses on God’s Holy Days in 2014-2015)

2014-2015 — 4 Lunar Eclipses (Blood Red Moons) – 2 Solar Eclipses

It may be this :: Lunar Eclipse = Bad for Israel ~ Solar Eclipse = Bad for the Nations

The 7 Year Tribulation could be from 2014-2021 – Then again The Tribulation may not happen in our life-times at all — But like Paul said :: We are not in Darkness as to The Day of The Lord — so with all that is happening in the World – we may seriously hear The Shout of The Lord/The Bridegroom Soon !

I just want to state I am not date-setting, just observing All Things Pertaining to The End – I do not know if the end will happen during 2014-2021 – it is an interesting date range because of the 4 Blood Red Moons in 2014/2015 that could mark the Beginning of The Tribulation in 2014.

2014 to 2021 works out with the right amount of Time from: The Feast of Trumpets/Yom Teruah (The Rapture) – 2014 – To The Day of Atonement/Yom Kippur (Armageddon or the Last Day of This Age) – 2021 according to this chart at: endtimepilgrim.org

Prudence says to still keep on a Watch for Jesus to Return Every Feast of Trumpets and on any day of the year.
