April 2011 Do You Really Believe Christ is Returning? (Daniel, Ezekiel, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) Last month I professed my belief in the Bible as being the word for word proclamation of God. It is the only book in the world that you can read and have the Author present to answer your questions. As I have watched the unfolding events in the “Middle East”, I have thought of the prophets such as Daniel and Ezekiel and what they had written over seven hundred years before the birth of Christ. I have also been studying the 24th and the 25th chapters of the book of Matthew on what Christ had to say about His return. Matthew, Mark and Luke all end with Christ directing us to go into all the world proclaiming the Gospel. The book of John ends with Jesus stating “when I return”. Now once again I proclaim my belief in the Bible as being the complete word of God, written by man, but inspired word for word by Him. We find in Matthew’s chapter twenty-four (24) verse fourteen (14) Christ stating, “And this gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations and then shall the end come”….I believe today we are observing the times that He, Daniel and Ezekiel were talking about. Matthew gives us an account in chapter 25 and verse 31. Jesus states “But when I, the Messiah shall come in my glory, and all the angels with me, then I shall set upon my throne of glory.” Also, in verse 45, Christ states, “Verily I say unto you, inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.” Are you a fruit bearing Christian? He says go into all the world and preach the gospel and then I will return. That is why I go to Mexico. I do not want to be likened unto the five foolish virgins who did not take oil for their lamps and slumbered while the Bridegroom tarried. There is a whole lot going on in the world today. I believe His word the Holy Bible, I believe He is coming just as He said He would and that is exactly The Way I See It. I continue to remain in His service, Griff |
