"the end of his ministry on earth?"


 


My brother (in the flesh & in the LORD) wrote to me talking about the work of the Spirit of the LORD during the tribulation with the 144,000
(similar to the things said in the article that Julie posted on the 10th, from Jack Kinsella).
I replied to him the following (please let me know if this sounds correct, or if I'm in error):
.
I agree with you on that.
The presence of the LORD, the Spirit of the LORD, is not absent on earth during the tribulation, but here working like you pointed out.
However, that unique ministry of the Holy Ghost, that unique indwelling presence in the church, that ministry ends suddenly like it began.
It began with a sound & the Holy Ghost coming down from heaven to give birth to the church at Pentecost.
It will end with a sound & the Holy Ghost taking the church up to meet the Lord in the air at the blessed hope, then from there to heaven.
That special manifestation & ministry of the Holy Ghost on earth in a body (the church), will end similar to that of the manifestation & ministry of the Son on earth in a body (the incarnation), by ascending back up to heaven.
