Thankyou for all
your postings, and
of particular reference, currently that of, “Rabbi Cahn
----- The
Harbinger,” on Feb. 8th.
Rabbi Cahn
presented his case with
succinct logic and Spirit-filled excitement. We are indeed
living in very
prophetic times.
Even the fact
that Jonathan Cahn is
both Rabbi and Pastor is, in itself, prophetic, even before
he reveals his
jaw-dropping message.
For years, in
Church and home
groups, Christ’s First Coming was the message that was
presented. Of
course, that is extremely important, but it’s still not the
complete
picture of Jesus. Then in 1974, a Spirit-led Christian told
me about Jesus’
Second Coming. I then changed from Amillennialism to
Pre-millennialism, and
studied Second-Coming prophecies as well as First-Coming
prophecies.
In John 16:13,
Jesus told us that, “the Spirit of
truth......will tell you what is yet to come.” And
in John 16:15,
our Lord Yeshua added, “All
that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the
Spirit will take
from what is mine and make it known to you.” (NIV.)
So, whether it’s first or second-coming knowledge, it
is the same
Holy Spirit who enlightens us with revelation from the
Heavenly Father and the
Risen Son.
In the First
Coming, Christ came as
the Suffering Servant (Jesus on the Cross), whereas in the
Second Coming,
Christ will come as Victorious King (Jesus on the White
Horse).
Back in 1988,
that year seemed like
a good year for the Return, but now we have more revelation
and much more
prophetic pressure for the Return to occur.
As Jesus said, “When these
things begin to happen, look up and hold your heads high,
because the time when
God will free you is near!” (Luke 21:28 NCV.) And
our Lord also
instructed, “So
always be ready, because you don’t know when the owner of
the house will
come back. It might be in the evening, or at midnight, or
in the morning while
it is still dark, or when the sun rises. Always be ready.
Otherwise he might
come back suddenly and find you sleeping. I tell you this,
and I say this to
everyone: ‘Be ready!” (Mark 13:35-37 NCV.)
The longer you
wait for something,
the more joy you receive when it finally arrives. When Jesus
does come back for
me (because of His love and faithfulness), I will drop my
tools in a second,
and I will keep my eyes on my Lord and Saviour, and I won’t
look back
until I’m fully safe in Heaven, and Jesus tells me it’s now
safe to
look back.
I refer now to
Matt. 14:27-31, and
especially to v30b, when Peter was sinking and he cried out,
“Lord, save me!”
And Luke 17:32, when Jesus said, “Remember
Lot’s wife!”
Will we follow
the events of the
Tribulation from the vantage point of Heaven? Something like
a heavenly version
of the big screen? Or will we only see Earth again when we
follow our Lord and
Leader at his Second Coming? (The part referred to in Rev.
19:11-16).
Jim, I know you
are a mature
Christian, so most of what I have written would be
well-known to you, but I
enjoyed writing it, and I hope others will receive a
blessing too.
God bless you,
and God bless all
who read these words, from Andrew B.
