All Doves,

 

To All those who read the lovely, Divinely Inspired scriptural insight by Bro. Riley, here are just a couple of other scriptures to further confirm what Jesus said concerning the " Doors "

 

Our Jesus said in John 10.9 - I am the Door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

 

We believe that even though doors are mentioned in translation, it refers to the already open door which will then be closed and later re-opened at the end of the tribulation.

Remember there is Only One Door - Jesus. He does not contradict himself or His Word because He Is The Word made flesh. (Jn.1.14)

 

In Matt 25.10 - 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.

As we all know, the parable of the 10 Virgins refers to the Coming of the Saviour for his Bride; and it says here the door was shut after this event occurs.

 

This corresponds to the 2 different times the door has to open. For it to open again, it must first be closed and it will be closed after the call " Come Up Hither " ( Rev 4.1)

but it will re-open again when we come with the bridegroom to establish the Kingdom of God on earth.

 

Another scripture reference to correspond to the rapture in 1Thess.4 -15-17   which was Given by Jesus himself is :

 

John 11: 25-26 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me,

(1) though he were dead, yet shall he live: And (2) whosoever liveth and believeth in me (3) shall never die.

 

Here it shows that: (1) the Dead in Christ shall rise - appropriately mentioned first, then those ( 2 ) which are Alive and Remain until his coming, (3) shall be caught up - shall not see death.

 

Please read and understand that while at that time Jesus was speaking to Martha about Lazarus' resurrection, His Every Word is for us, the believers past, present and future.

( Matt 4.4 .Man shall not live not by bread alone but by Every Word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God ) 

 

We hope that this gives additional hope to everyone who reads this. 

 

Looking Up .....
