Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called

DECEPTION (Rev 6:1,2)
(Luke
17:22,23)
And he said unto the disciples, The
days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son
of man [His earthly persona], and ye shall not see it.
And they shall say to you, See
here; or, see there: go not after them,
nor follow them.
1.
(Rev
6:1,2) And I saw when the Lamb [of
God, Jesus
Christ] opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the
noise of
thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. And I saw, and
behold a white horse:
and he that sat
on him had a bow;
and a crown was
given unto him: and
he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
2.
(Rev 19:11-16)
And I saw heaven opened, and behold a
white horse; and he that sat
upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness
he doth judge and make war. His eyes were
as a flame of fire, and on his head were
many crowns; and
he had a
name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in
blood: and his name is
called The Word of God. And the
armies which were in heaven
followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
And out
of his mouth goeth a sharp sword,
that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a
rod of
iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of
Almighty
God. And he hath on his
vesture
and on his thigh a name written, KING OF
KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
JESUS CHRIST SHALL BE REVEALED
IN US
(Luke
17:24,25)
For as the lightning, that lighteneth
out of the one part under
heaven, shineth unto the other part
under heaven [Jesus Christ shall be
revealed worldwide instantly in all of us at once]; so shall also the Son of man [His earthly persona]
be in
his day. But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this
generation.
1.
(Rom
8:18) For I reckon that the
sufferings of this
present time are not worthy to be compared with the
glory which shall be revealed [Gk: to take off the cover, disclosed] in us.
2.
(2 Thes 1:7-12)
And to you who are troubled rest with us,
when the Lord Jesus shall be
revealed
from heaven with his mighty angels, In
flaming fire [Gk:
lightning] taking vengeance
[Gk: revenge] on them that know not God, and that obey
not the gospel of our Lord Jesus
Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting
destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; When he shall
come to be glorified in
his saints, and to
be admired in all them
that
believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in
that day.
Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this
calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his
goodness, and the
work of faith with power: That the name of our Lord
Jesus Christ may be glorified
in you, and ye in him, according to the
grace of our God and the
Lord Jesus Christ.
DETAILS
OF THE DAYS OF
THE
SON OF MAN (His earthly persona)
(Luke
17:26,27)
And as it was in the days of Noah [“a preacher of righteousness” 2 Pet 2:5], so shall it be also in the days
[(plural)]
of the Son of man [His
earthly persona; i.e., the tribulation].
They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in
marriage, until
the day that Noah entered into the ark [a type and shadow of the Body of Christ], and the flood [water;
symbol of the Holy Spirit in cleansing]
came, and destroyed them all.
1.
Commentary: “the ark”
was assembled of wood boards (hewn down trees)
representing sanctified men.
The ark is the clear archetype of “the ship” (Mark 6:45) into which
Jesus sent
His disciples.
a.
(Mark
6:45) And straightway he constrained [Gk:
distress:
must needs, of necessity, needful] his
disciples to get into the
ship,
and to go to the other side [i.e., to the Promised Land] before unto
(Luke
17:28,29)
Likewise also as it was in the days of
Lot [“just Lot”
2 Pet 2:7]; they did eat, they
drank, they bought,
they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went
out of Sodom
[Heb: scorched, burnt; a volcanic
district near the Dead Sea] it
rained fire [symbol
of the
Holy Spirit in judgment] and
brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them
all.
1.
(1 Tim 4:1,2)
Now
the Spirit speaketh expressly
[Gk: distinctly], that in the latter
times some shall depart from the faith,
giving heed to seducing spirits,
and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in
hypocrisy [Gk: acting
under a feigned part; deceit]; having
their conscience seared
with a
hot iron [Gk: branded
(cauterized), rendered unsensitive];
2.
(Gen
19:23-26) The sun was risen upon the
earth when
3.
(Rev
12:6) And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God,
that they should feed her there a thousand
two hundred and threescore
days [3 ½ years].
4.
(Rev
12:14) And to the woman were
given two wings of a great eagle,
that she
might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where
she is
nourished for a time, and times, and
half a time [3 ½ years],
from the
face of the serpent.
WARNING:
REMEMBER
(Luke
17:30-37)
Even thus shall it be in the day when
the Son of man is revealed. In that day, he which
shall be upon the
housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down
to take it away:
and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.
Remember
1.
(Isa
40:31) But
they that wait upon the LORD [“In
your patience possess ye your souls” Luke 21:19] shall renew their
strength; they shall mount up [Heb:
ascend] with wings as
eagles;
they shall run, and not be weary; and
they shall walk, and not faint.
a.
(Exo 19:4)
Ye have seen what I did unto the
Egyptians [symbolically, the land
of the unsaved], and how I bare you on
eagles' wings [“wings” is
an
allusion to the Old Testament and the New Testment – which together
enable us
to fly to/in Heaven], and
brought
you unto myself [Heaven].
Amen
