Hi Doves,

 

The Lord, on the Day of Pentecost, on the 29th of Tammuz, 33 AD, made a down payment for His bride, the Church.

 

Which means the remaining payment has to be made on the Day of Pentecost, at the end of the Christian Church Age!

 

That Day, I believe correctly falls on the 30th of August 2011[ 29th of Tammuz]

 

Until the rest of the payment is made, the Lord cannot take His Bride, the Church, with Him into Heaven!

 

"For we who are in this tent groan being burdened, not because we want to be unclothed [that is, die and go to heaven], but further clothed, that mortality may be swallowed up by [eternal] life.

 

Now He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who also has given us the [Holy] Spirit as a guarantee [down payment]." [2Cor.5:4,5]

 

Because of the down payment, we are continuously receiving from the Lord  a measure of eternal life now!

 

That's why we are being empowered to love others now.

 

"We know that we have passed from death to [eternal] life, because we love the brethren..." (1John 3:14)

 

"These things I have written to you who believe in the  name [glorified human form] of the Son of God, that you may know that you have [now] eternal life..." (1 John 5:13)

 

We are not weak and powerless victims on earth, we are the Bride of Christ, on which a down payment has been made!

 

"...Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?"

 

"For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body..." (1Cor.6:19,20)

 

We are to glorify our Lord, in our bodies, by walking in love, until the Lord, in return, glorifies us right down to our flesh and bones. 

 

This will indicate He has made the full payment for us to be His Bride!

 

I believe the remaining payment will be made on the correct Day of Pentecost, which falls on Tuesday, the 30th of August 2011!

 

Ola.
