Beloved, the return of Jesus and the closure of the curtains of this age is very near, it is at the doorstep. When you see the current wars and happenings on the globe, it is because of that, everything is coming into place for the return of Jesus.
If you are a Christian, these are not the time to be joking about the unnecessary things of life, be focus and do the work because the Great Lord is coming very soon. Share this devotion to as many.
Jesus said, “You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that
in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that
testify about me, yet you refuse to come to me to have life......John
5:39-40NIV”
The Scripture testifies about Jesus.
“Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all
that the prophets have spoken: Ought not Christ to have suffered
these things, and to enter into his glory?And beginning at Moses and
all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the
things concerning himself.......Luke 24:25-27KJV”
So Moses talked about Jesus and remember that he Moses was a prophet.
When Israel was about to leave Egypt, this is the instruction God gave regarding
the passover.
“And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt
saying, This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it
shall be the first month of the year to you. Speak ye unto all the
congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they
shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their
fathers, a lamb for an house:......Exodus 12:1-3KJV”
They were to take a lamb on the tenth day of the month, which was going to be
the first month of the year for them but when were they to sacrifice the lamb?
“And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month:
and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in
the evening...Exodus 12:6KJV”
They were to keep it for four days in the month, which was going to be the
beginning of the year unto them. Why so?
This is because Jesus was going to be crucified on a day in history, which will be
4000 years from the creation and foundation of the earth. Yes, Jesus died on year
4000 since Adam. Hold on to this thought!
Now how many years is Jesus supposed to remain in heaven before returning, after
his ascension?
Let us consider the words of another prophet called Hosea.
“I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their
offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.
Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he
will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.After two days
will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall
live in his sight....Hosea 5:15-6:1-2KJV”
What at all was the Prophet talking about? And which people was he referring to?
The answer is in the next verse. Let us observe the next verse
“Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going
forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the
rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth...Hosea 6:3KJV”
The Prophet was talking about the ascension and second coming of Jesus. The
Apostle James even quotes Hosea 6:3 in his write up on the second coming of the
Master.
Let us observe.
“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. Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts:
for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh...James 5:7-8KJV”
So when He said, “I will go and return to my place, till they
acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they
will seek me early. Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he
hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us
up. After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us
up, and we shall live in his sight...”, what did He mean?
Jesus came to Israel and they rejected the day of their visitation, they rejected Him.
So He went back to heaven, to his place after the ascension but during the great
tribulation, which will be a time of Israel’s affliction, they will acknowledge the
Messiah, they will acknowledge Jesus. How long will it take from His ascension to
the time in the great tribulation where they will acknowledge Him, the same time
that will mark the second coming of Jesus and the resurrection of the dead in
Christ?
It will take two days, which by the Scriptural principle of 1 day is a 1000 years
translates to 2000 years. So the second return of Jesus is 2000 years from the
ascension after His death. At the beginning of the third day from His ascension,
which is the millennium, we start living in His presence (in His sight). He will be
here on earth with us.
Now 4000 years from creation, the year Jesus was crucified, buried and ascended
into the heavens hovers around 29-33AD. So let us say that 4000years from
creation is 33AD, it thus mean that the second coming of Jesus at most will be
2033AD, you just have to add 2000 years. If 4000 years from creation is 30AD, it
means the return of the great Master is 2030AD.
