The Return of JESUS CHRIST
Now that we have talked about the dangers of the rapture theory, it's time to further our knowledge with the second coming of JESUS CHRIST. As you know from our previous study, satan and his angels will be cast out of heaven to the earth, once that great war of heaven breaks out (Revelation 12:7), and satan will be doing everything he can, with help from his fallen angels, who will be disguised as "Christian Ministers" to try and deceive as many people as he can into thinking he is "the savior" of the world; that even includes the ability to perform "miracles" in the sight of men as it's written in Revelation 13:13-14. Think about how crazy people wonder after celebrities. If people get that excited over celebrities, what do you think they will do when they see someone disguised and claiming to be "the savior", who will appear to "heal" the world in the eyes of the people? They will want to worship him. That is why it is so important to have the SEAL of GOD in our foreheads (minds) because surely none of us want to be deceived into worshiping satan. Remember, our TRUE JESUS CHRIST is going to return, but not until AFTER satan appears as antichrist (2 Thessalonians 2) which in the Greek means "instead of Christ". Once our TRUE SAVIOR returns, we ALL (both believers and nonbelievers) will automatically be transformed into our spiritual bodies, in the blink of an eye (1 Corinthians 15:51-52). So as long as we are still in our flesh bodies, remember that our TRUE CHRIST has not yet returned. With that being said, let's take a further look into these end times at the order of events of what all must happen before our TRUE SAVIOR does return. How important it is for us, especially living in the time we are now (this last generation), to know the order of events. Below we will begin in Matthew 24. Something to note is that this 24th chapter, as well as Mark 13, and Luke 21, are basically all overlays of each other.
Matthew 24
1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.
As you can see for yourself in the Strong's Concordance, this word "buildings" in the Greek is oikodomḗ, which is feminine (abstract) of a compound of the Greek word oîkos (G3624) and the base of the Greek word dōma (G1430); architecture, i.e. (concrete) a structure; figurative confirmation:- building, edify (-ication, -ing).
oîkos (G3624); of uncertain affinity; a dwelling (more or less extensive, literal or figurative); by implication a family (more or less related, literal or figurative) :- home, house (-hold), temple.
dōma (G1430); from demo (to build); properly an edifice, i.e. (special) a roof :- housetop.
2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
JESUS makes it very emphatic here, letting his disciples know that not one stone of these great buildings will remain upon another at HIS return (the last trumpet, the 7th), once GOD's wrath is poured out upon the earth. Some critics claim this already happened back in 70 a.d. with the "Siege of Jerusalem" but the wailing wall still stands today, so they show their ignorance when they claim such. Remember when our TRUE CHRIST does return, which again is after satan appears as antichrist, all of us will be changed instantly into our spiritual bodies (1 Corinthians 15:51-52) and once HE returns and HE pours out HIS wrath upon the earth, all buildings will be turned into dust and sand. So as we can see simply by just looking around us, this hasn't yet happened. When you look at the deeper meaning of this verse, we know that the many membered body of CHRIST is the temple of GOD (1 Corinthians 3:16).
3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world (aiṓn)?
Keep in mind the mount of Olives is the geographical location where our TRUE CHRIST will return after satan has appeared as antichrist to deceive the world. Notice the three questions asked.
First Question: When shall these things be?
Second Question: What shall be the sign of YOUR parousía? I.e. "what shall be the sign of CHRIST's second coming when HE establishes HIS Millennium Kingdom?
Third Question: What shall be the sign of the end of the world (aiṓn)? I.e. the sign of the end of this world [flesh] age?
4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
This is the number one warning given. This deception mentioned here is something that will take place over a period of time. Think about how many people today are already on the road to deception and satan worship with the fly away at any moment (rapture) doctrine; deceived into thinking they are going to freely escape the hour of temptation just because they "believe" JESUS exists; listening to the lies and traditions of men, instead of what GOD's WORD (the BIBLE) actually says. Some preachers even go as far as telling their "church" members that they don't have to understand any of GOD's WORD, including the book of Revelation because they're going to be "raptured" out of here, like none of it matters, when the very word "Revelation" it self means to reveal, to uncover or make known. Every part of our FATHER's WORD, beginning (Genesis) to the end (Revelation) matters and is important and useful to us because not only does it prepare us for this present flesh life now, but it also prepares us for our eternity too. This is exactly why it is written in 2 Timothy 2:15 to "Study to shew thyself approved unto God..." because far too many people today are stuck on what their pastor says, rather than what the TRUE WORD of GOD (the BIBLE) says. You can listen to your pastor, but make sure what your pastor is saying is TRUE, and not of the traditions of men, which make void GOD's WORD (Mark 7:13). So how do we know if our pastors are telling the TRUTH? We take the time to study it for our own selves, "...rightly dividing the word of truth." as the rest of 2 Timothy 2:15 says; We do that by studying chapter by chapter and verse by verse, asking ourselves who the chapter is written to, what the subject is, and which dispensation it belongs to? As we continue on with the rest of this study, make sure you pay real close attention. These signs and warnings that CHRIST is about to give us, are the seven seals mentioned of in the book of Revelation.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
Notice HE didn't say a few, HE said "many"; many people claim to be of CHRIST, and claim to be teaching HIS WORD (the BIBLE) but instead are really teaching the traditions men and are NOT telling the TRUTH to their members. Again, don't let anyone deceive you, no matter how much they appear to know their BIBLE or how good their message may sound, or what so-called "degree" [given by man] they may have. Study our FATHER's WORD (the BIBLE) for your own self. Check to see if what you're hearing is in GOD's WORD or not.
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
As long as you are still hearing of wars and rumors of wars, the very end has not yet come but know that the end is drawing near. Think about WWI and WWII; Those wars have already come and gone, and now we are living in a new generation and not just a new generation, but the last generation as of 1948 (the generation of the fig tree), when Israel became a nation. This is a great sign that the end is drawing near. Although there are still wars and rumors of wars taking place today (2020), there is also the start of the opposite, which is the cry out of peace, and once there are no longer any wars and rumors of wars taking place, this world will go into the one world system, also known as the "New World Order (NWO)", where a new age of government will govern the affairs of all mankind. So once the focus transitions from war to peace, the end will be at hand and we better pay real close attention and have the FULL Gospel armour on (Ephesians 6:11-18) and the SEAL of GOD in our foreheads (minds); knowing that satan appears first because if not, we're going to be deceived. That time is drawing closer and closer each day. satan is coming and he will be coming peacefully and prosperously. So again, that is exactly why we are told to put the FULL Gospel armour on because many people are going to be deceived and that even includes some people who you know, and even a lot of these well known "pastors" and "celebrities" that you see on T.V. See also 2 Corinthians 11:14.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
This famine as you see here is what is mentioned in Amos 8:11 regarding these end times. It says "Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:" As it's stated in that verse, the famine is not of bread or water but instead for hearing the TRUTH of GOD's WORD, which is already taking place today because sadly most "churches" today are not familiar with the TRUTH of GOD's WORD because they never take the time to dig into it, but instead teach what they've been told (traditions of men) and their own words. Just because a doctrine may sound nice, or just because a doctrine may be popular, doesn't make it true. Just think about the seven churches in Revelation; only two of the seven was GOD pleased with (Smyrna and Philadelphia) because they taught who the kenites were and kept the Key of David and they preached the TRUTH of GOD's WORD. Clearly that's not the majority and as we know, the majority is not always right anyways. Notice it also says "pestilences and earthquakes". Think about the major outbreaks of disease occurring across the world today, such as Measles, Ebola, and now the Coronavirus. These major earthquakes that are mentioned here are also taking place as well. Major earthquakes which used to be very rare are now happening every few days across the world. Just think about the ones that hit California in July (2019); 6.4 and 7.1 magnitudes that occurred unexpectedly.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows (ōdín).
Notice this word "sorrows". In the Greek it is ōdín which means birth-pangs. It lets us know that when we see these signs, then the birth of a new age is about to begin. If you're a woman who has given birth to a child before, then think about your pregnancy; the birth-pangs began to get more intense as you got closer to your child's birth. So is it with these end times.
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
This word kill in the Greek is apokteínō which is figuratively speaking for the time when we as GOD's elect are delivered up before death, which is one of satan's names. As we know, GOD's WORD (the BIBLE) doesn't contradict itself. Luke 21:17-19 even tells us that not one hair on our heads will perish at that time. After all, GOD always takes care of HIS own and if satan were to start having a bunch of people murdered, it would be pretty difficult to convince everyone he's "Jesus". Why is it that the whole world will hate us? Because they will think we're the devil worshipers for standing against this first "messiah" (satan) who appears, when really they are the ones who have mistaken satan for Jesus, and are the true devil worshipers. Think about Revelation 11 with the two witnesses. At that time you will either know them as true witnesses of our HEAVENLY FATHER, which they will be, or you will know them as enemies of our HEAVENLY FATHER as the rest of the world will think at that time. Again, let no man deceive you of what will be taking place at that time. We're living in the last generation which means this will be the generation that sees this come to pass. Are you prepared? Are you familiar with the order of events of these end times? If not, continue to pay close attention. See also Revelation 9:4.
10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
Why is it that many will be offended, betray, and hate? Because as GOD's elect, when we refuse to worship this fake messiah (satan), who everyone else will worship at that time, mistaking him for Jesus, they are going to label us as blasphemers because they were mislead by the traditions of men. Mark 13:12 gives us a more detailed example of this betrayal. It says "Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death." This verse lets us know that certain family members who are deceived into thinking satan is Jesus at that time, will be betraying each other by leading each other to satan (death) when he appears, and those same people will even try to convince and lead us as GOD's elect to satan and try and convince him (satan) to have "mercy" on us, for not worshiping him, when really we are the ones who know he's a fake. Now if it were possible for them to get satan to convert (deceive) us, then that would be the ultimate spiritual death, which is the unpardonable (unforgivable) sin. Again, satan is going to try everything he can to deceive us because he's already sentenced to death and he's looking to bring others with him; he's nothing but a fake with a mission to deceive, destroy, and to kill spiritually. Just think back to Genesis 3 with how cunning he was and how he deceived Adam and Eve in the garden. satan loves to twist scripture and if you're not careful, you could be deceived and that would be the very death of your eternal soul if you are one of GOD's elect (one who knows better). This is a very serious thing and so now you can probably understand why GOD is so strongly against those who teach the fly away at any moment (rapture) doctrine as it's written in Ezekiel 13, because it sets people up to worship satan. As GOD's elect, who know the TRUTH of HIS WORD, we were chosen from the foundations of the world, back to the time of that first earth age (the world that then was) because GOD knows that we can endure the test of this flesh life and stand against satan because we already did it once before, and so HE knows we can do it again. Again as we mentioned above though, if it is possible for an elect to be deceived and to start worshiping satan, then that would be the unpardonable (unforgivable) sin. Again, JESUS said not to let anyone deceive us. Listen to GOD's WORD and only GOD's WORD. Check out everything you hear and see from others for your own self.
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
Notice CHRIST said many. Most "pastors" today only preach about salvation and motivational speeches each week and they never get into the real meat of GOD's WORD as CHRIST expects us to partake of. They provide their members with a false sense of hope by telling them that all they have to do is believe, which again is only setting them up to worship the first "messiah" (satan) who is going to appear. There's never been a time in history where so many people are mislead as they are today. The kenites have been busy setting up the four hidden dynasties and so prophecy is coming to pass each day. Again, put on the whole armour of GOD and study to show yourself approved because we have a destiny laid out before us; to those who allow GOD to use and speak through them at that time. See also Mark 13:11.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
This iniquity mentioned here is lawlessness from where people have thrown GOD's WORD aside for a bunch of lies. When the time comes and satan is officially here on earth, claiming and pretending to be Jesus, many people's love for the TRUE JESUS CHRIST will vanish because they will be so busy worshiping and whoring after satan.
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
Notice it doesn't say endure part of the way, but instead "endure unto the end"; that means the end of this flesh age (until the first tribulation of satan is over). In other words, we who endure unto the end by waiting for our TRUE CHRIST at the 7th trumpet (the last trumpet), shall be Saved because we remained pure by not worshiping satan as everyone else will have done at that time. It won't be a happy time at all for those who don't wait. That is why it is written in Luke 23:30 and Revelation 6:15-16 that they will wish for mountains to fall upon them because they will be so greatly ashamed of what they have done.
14 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.
15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation (satan), spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place (Mt. Zion), (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
This is what is written in Daniel 9:27; it says "And he (satan) shall confirm the covenant with many for one week (the last seven years [shortened to just five months in Revelation 9:5, 9:10): and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate." The "abominations" is when satan deceives the world and appears in Jerusalem claiming to be "Christ". "Desolate" as you see in this verse, should really be translated desolator in the English because this is an entity (satan) being described, not a condition as you can see in the manuscripts.
16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
This gives us the geographical location where CHRIST tells us not to be. I.e. HE's saying flee into the mountains (or other nations) because after satan has appeared and our TRUE CHRIST then returns, HE will be pouring out HIS wrath first here. A great example and comparison to look back on would be with Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 19). Compare to Luke 17:29.
17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
The housetop is where the watchmen stayed. As CHRISTians and GOD's elect, in these end times, we are to be watchmen so that we can be prepared for when the enemy (satan) arrives. Again, that is why we are told in Ephesians 6:11 to have the whole armour of GOD (HIS WORD and TRUTH) on. Notice there's no time to go back and grab possessions from the house. Those living in this area are to flee immediately.
18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
Again, there will be no time to return to grab a change of clothes or possessions in your home if you're living in this area (Judea) at that time. Just forget about them and flee immediately. Don't be like Lot and his family who lingered around (Genesis 19:16) until it was almost too late. Just leave.
19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
This has absolutely nothing to do with having children with your spouse but instead it's referring to being taken out of season. As it's written in 2 Corinthians 11:2 "For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ". As we can clearly see, CHRIST expects us to remain a virgin bride for HIS return (spiritually speaking) at the seventh trumpet. If HE comes back and finds that you have been deceived and suckered into worshiping satan as the whole rest of the world will have done at that time (Revelation 13:8), then you have then been taken out of season and are no longer a virgin bride to CHRIST, and will therefore have received the mark of the beast. CHRIST has feelings too. This would be the exact same as if you were to go away for a while, let's just say your job requires you to go on a long distance trip, and you come back to find your spouse in bed with someone else; imagine the hurt you would feel knowing your spouse turned their back on you for someone else, especially satan. Again, CHRIST is speaking spiritually here so that we could understand the hurt HE is going to feel at this time. Again, those with child are those spiritually impregnated by satan and his one world system and "those who give suck" are those nursing along satan's works.
20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
This "flight" is referring to those fleeing Judea. As we know, harvest season is in the summer and fall, not the winter, and to be taken astray in the winter would mean that you have then been taken out of season (out of harvest time). Why does it say "neither on the sabbath day"? Because on the sabbath day you could travel no more than a mile and that would be no where near far enough to escape the wrath of GOD in this area.
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
This is going to be the greatest deception this world has ever seen. Again, remember that the first tribulation is satan's deception, and the second tribulation is the return of our TRUE JESUS CHRIST.
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
GOD knows exactly how tricky satan can be. After all satan is the one who deceived a third of the world in the first earth age, so therefore for our sake as GOD's elect, HE has shortened the time to just five months (Revelation 9:5, 9:10).
23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
Again, let no man deceive you by any means... (2 Thessalonians 2:3).
24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
As long as you remain faithful and pure to our TRUE CHRIST, by waiting for HIM to speak through you when it's time to be delivered up (Mark 13:11), you won't have to worry about being deceived. Fear (revere) no one but GOD.
25 Behold, I have told you before.
Everything mentioned here in the New Testament and Revelation is exactly what was foretold all throughout in the Old Testament. Sadly many are told today by other so called "Christians" not to worry about studying the Old Testament because "it doesn't apply to us today", when they couldn't be any more deceived and away from the truth. Matthew 5:17-18 clearly says "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled."
26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
If someone tells you that CHRIST has returned and you're still in your flesh body, that's capable of feeling pain such as from a pinch, then don't believe it; for no one will even really have to tell you, for you will already know when our TRUE CHRIST has returned. Again, 1 Corinthians 15:51-52 tells us that ALL will be changed into their spiritual bodies, in the blink of an eye, once our TRUE CHRIST has returned, which occurs at the seventh trumpet.
27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Again, as 1 Corinthians 15:52 says, HIS return will be as quick as the twinkling or blink of an eye, once all these other things have come to pass.
28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
I.e. just as eagles and vultures gather around and feed on dead animals (carcasses), so will it be with the spiritually dead Christians who are feeding off of satan's (death's) deception into thinking they are going to fly away. Again, that is why GOD says in Ezekiel 13:20 that HE is against those who teach HIS people that they are going to fly away because it sets them up for failure; it gives people a false sense of hope and satan will be doing just that to try and deceive GOD's people, with help from his fallen angels who come disguised as ministers of the light. Again, always check out everything you hear and see in the WORD of GOD for your own self. As Romans 3:4 says "...let God be true, but every man a liar...".
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
Remember there are two tribulations (1st tribulation = satan's. 2nd tribulation = CHRIST's). What CHRIST is saying is that immediately after the tribulation of those days (satan's tribulation) shall the coming of the TRUE CHRIST and the start of the Millennium (the LORD's day) be. Here we see another sign that our TRUE CHRIST has not yet returned and that is the sun, moon, and the stars are still in the sky shining today; once they're gone and no longer visible to the eye, shining, we will know our TRUE CHRIST has returned for HIS light outshines them all. See also 2 Thessalonians 2:8.
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn (quoted from Zechariah 12:11-12), and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
Why is it that the people shall "mourn"? Because they will then realize what they have done (worshiped satan and his one world system) and will no longer be a virgin bride for CHRIST (spiritually speaking).
31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
For more information on the four winds, stay tuned in for our study "The Four Winds".
32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
Again, summer and fall represents the time of harvest (our TRUE CHRIST's return). That is why we read earlier not to be taken out of season (verse 20). Notice CHRIST didn't say that maybe we should learn the parable of the fig tree, HE said for us to learn it. HE gave us a commandment. After all, the only way anyone can really be familiar with these end times and what all is going on is to understand that parable. For more information on that parable, stay tuned in for our study "The Parable of The Fig Tree".
33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
This has already occurred in the year 1948 (May, 14th) and that is exactly how we know we're living in the final generation. How very important it is for us to know the order of events because our time is just about up, before satan takes power and causes the whole world to whore after him (Revelation 13). Again, as Ephesians 6:11 tells us "Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil." See also Jeremiah 24.
34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
All of these things must be fulfilled before our TRUE CHRIST returns. No where will you find it written any other way, for HIS WORD does not contradict itself.
35 Heaven and earth shall pass away (i.e. this second heaven and earth age shall end), but my words shall not pass away.
36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
Although no man knows the precise moment when our TRUE CHRIST returns, we are given the season and we are given the order of events of what must happen before HE does return, as we just went over. We are to be watchmen in these end times.
37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Just as satan's fallen angels (the nephilim) were present in the days of Noah, seducing women, in attempt to disrupt the seedline of CHRIST, so will they be present in these end times, to try and seduce people spiritually; disguising themselves as "Christian Ministers" in attempt to deceive people into thinking satan is Jesus.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
See also Genesis 6.
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
It will appear to be all "great" and "wonderful" when satan has risen to power and most everyone thinks he's Jesus, providing peace and prosperity but then that is when our TRUE CHRIST will come as a thief in the night (2 Peter 3:10) and people will then realize who they have worshiped. As it's written in Isaiah 14:16-17, they will say "Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?"
40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
I.e. one will be taken in, out of season (deceived by satan), while the other will continue to work in the field (world), until harvest time (the return of our TRUE CHRIST). Remember CHRIST told us in the thirteenth verse of this chapter "But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved." That word "endure" in the Greek is hypoménō and it means to tarry behind and remain, enduring the trials of these end times that are to come. True warriors and children of CHRIST will endure the adversity of these end times, for we know we've already won and that CHRIST will give us the strength to get through it, for HE always takes care of HIS own. Once again, remain a virgin bride as 2 Corinthians 11 tells us, for our TRUE CHRIST (spiritually speaking).
41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Those who never get around to studying and teaching GOD's WORD, chapter by chapter and verse by verse, aren't going to be prepared for this and that is why they will be taken out of season and eventually wish for the mountains to fall upon them (Luke 23:30, Revelation 6:15-16).
42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
Again, nobody knows the precise and exact moment of our TRUE CHRIST's return, but we've been given the season and the order of events which are to come before.
43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
The goodman is the one who provides his house and family with the meat of GOD's WORD, whereby they are prepared and not deceived by satan and his fallen angels, disguised as "Christian ministers". Are you preparing your loved ones with the meat? Hopefully because if you aren't, you could wind up losing it. See also "The Parable of The Sower & Tares".
44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
Again, the majority of people (the whole world* [Revelation 13:8]) aren't going to be expecting CHRIST's return because they will already think he has returned when in reality it's satan they have been worshiping. Compare to Revelation 17:12.
45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
Many people are stuck on the milk of GOD's WORD today by thinking all they have to do is believe and live a good life, when there is so much more to GOD's WORD than that; for the elect have a destiny laid out before them. Are you one of them? As it's written in Hebrews 5, CHRIST desires for us to come off of the milk and to partake of the meat. Stay tuned in for our study "GOD's Elect".
46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
Are you a true warrior for GOD? Are you willing to take on the spiritual war that is to come? If so, keep studying each and everyday and continue to prepare yourself, as well as others, for that time is almost here. The blessed servant is the one who continues to work in the field and the one who endures unto the end. As the next chapter (Matthew 25) tells us, concerning the ten virgins, we are to get the oil (the TRUTH) for our lamp (mind), so that we will be prepared.
47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
As Revelation 20:6 says "Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years." Those who take part in the first resurrection by remaining a virgin bride for our TRUE CHRIST at the seventh trumpet, they will be teachers in the Millennium for those who didn't overcome, who fell to the first "messiah" (satan). For more information on the Millennium (the LORD's day) and what we will be doing then, stay tuned in for our study "The Millennium".
48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken (the rest of the deceived);
Some "Christians" become dead in their faith and their spiritual life because they get out of the WORD and start lusting after the things of this world, and the moment they think CHRIST isn't coming and they start partaking of satan's one world system, and start joining in with everyone else who begins to mistake him as God, they will therefore become drunken and deceived as the rest of the world will at this time and so when our TRUE CHRIST does return, at the seventh trumpet, [which again is after the first tribulation of satan], they will be in a great deal of hurt.
50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
I.e. the servant who falls short by not watching, who quits studying and paying attention to these end times and the order of events, who instead joins the rest of the deceived world at this time, by falling into and partaking of satan's one world system, they will be in for a great rude awakening when they realize the TRUE CHRIST has returned. Again, the reason most people won't be expecting HIM is because they will already think HE is here.
51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
You're either on CHRIST's team or you're on satan's (antichrist's) team. The end is drawing nearer each day and so you better be prepared for what is to come. Those who fall into and partake of satan's one world system that will appear to be so "good" in the eyes of the people, will have received the mark of the beast and will therefore be in a great deal of hurt when our TRUE CHRIST returns and they then realize what they have done (been taken out of season). Once again, as 2 Thessalonians 2:3 says "Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;".
As you can see for yourself in the Strong's Concordance, this word "buildings" in the Greek is oikodomḗ, which is feminine (abstract) of a compound of the Greek word oîkos (G3624) and the base of the Greek word dōma (G1430); architecture, i.e. (concrete) a structure; figurative confirmation:- building, edify (-ication, -ing).
oîkos (G3624); of uncertain affinity; a dwelling (more or less extensive, literal or figurative); by implication a family (more or less related, literal or figurative) :- home, house (-hold), temple.
dōma (G1430); from demo (to build); properly an edifice, i.e. (special) a roof :- housetop.
2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
JESUS makes it very emphatic here, letting his disciples know that not one stone of these great buildings will remain upon another at HIS return (the last trumpet, the 7th), once GOD's wrath is poured out upon the earth. Some critics claim this already happened back in 70 a.d. with the "Siege of Jerusalem" but the wailing wall still stands today, so they show their ignorance when they claim such. Remember when our TRUE CHRIST does return, which again is after satan appears as antichrist, all of us will be changed instantly into our spiritual bodies (1 Corinthians 15:51-52) and once HE returns and HE pours out HIS wrath upon the earth, all buildings will be turned into dust and sand. So as we can see simply by just looking around us, this hasn't yet happened. When you look at the deeper meaning of this verse, we know that the many membered body of CHRIST is the temple of GOD (1 Corinthians 3:16).
3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world (aiṓn)?
Keep in mind the mount of Olives is the geographical location where our TRUE CHRIST will return after satan has appeared as antichrist to deceive the world. Notice the three questions asked.
First Question: When shall these things be?
Second Question: What shall be the sign of YOUR parousía? I.e. "what shall be the sign of CHRIST's second coming when HE establishes HIS Millennium Kingdom?
Third Question: What shall be the sign of the end of the world (aiṓn)? I.e. the sign of the end of this world [flesh] age?
4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
This is the number one warning given. This deception mentioned here is something that will take place over a period of time. Think about how many people today are already on the road to deception and satan worship with the fly away at any moment (rapture) doctrine; deceived into thinking they are going to freely escape the hour of temptation just because they "believe" JESUS exists; listening to the lies and traditions of men, instead of what GOD's WORD (the BIBLE) actually says. Some preachers even go as far as telling their "church" members that they don't have to understand any of GOD's WORD, including the book of Revelation because they're going to be "raptured" out of here, like none of it matters, when the very word "Revelation" it self means to reveal, to uncover or make known. Every part of our FATHER's WORD, beginning (Genesis) to the end (Revelation) matters and is important and useful to us because not only does it prepare us for this present flesh life now, but it also prepares us for our eternity too. This is exactly why it is written in 2 Timothy 2:15 to "Study to shew thyself approved unto God..." because far too many people today are stuck on what their pastor says, rather than what the TRUE WORD of GOD (the BIBLE) says. You can listen to your pastor, but make sure what your pastor is saying is TRUE, and not of the traditions of men, which make void GOD's WORD (Mark 7:13). So how do we know if our pastors are telling the TRUTH? We take the time to study it for our own selves, "...rightly dividing the word of truth." as the rest of 2 Timothy 2:15 says; We do that by studying chapter by chapter and verse by verse, asking ourselves who the chapter is written to, what the subject is, and which dispensation it belongs to? As we continue on with the rest of this study, make sure you pay real close attention. These signs and warnings that CHRIST is about to give us, are the seven seals mentioned of in the book of Revelation.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
Notice HE didn't say a few, HE said "many"; many people claim to be of CHRIST, and claim to be teaching HIS WORD (the BIBLE) but instead are really teaching the traditions men and are NOT telling the TRUTH to their members. Again, don't let anyone deceive you, no matter how much they appear to know their BIBLE or how good their message may sound, or what so-called "degree" [given by man] they may have. Study our FATHER's WORD (the BIBLE) for your own self. Check to see if what you're hearing is in GOD's WORD or not.
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
As long as you are still hearing of wars and rumors of wars, the very end has not yet come but know that the end is drawing near. Think about WWI and WWII; Those wars have already come and gone, and now we are living in a new generation and not just a new generation, but the last generation as of 1948 (the generation of the fig tree), when Israel became a nation. This is a great sign that the end is drawing near. Although there are still wars and rumors of wars taking place today (2020), there is also the start of the opposite, which is the cry out of peace, and once there are no longer any wars and rumors of wars taking place, this world will go into the one world system, also known as the "New World Order (NWO)", where a new age of government will govern the affairs of all mankind. So once the focus transitions from war to peace, the end will be at hand and we better pay real close attention and have the FULL Gospel armour on (Ephesians 6:11-18) and the SEAL of GOD in our foreheads (minds); knowing that satan appears first because if not, we're going to be deceived. That time is drawing closer and closer each day. satan is coming and he will be coming peacefully and prosperously. So again, that is exactly why we are told to put the FULL Gospel armour on because many people are going to be deceived and that even includes some people who you know, and even a lot of these well known "pastors" and "celebrities" that you see on T.V. See also 2 Corinthians 11:14.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
This famine as you see here is what is mentioned in Amos 8:11 regarding these end times. It says "Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:" As it's stated in that verse, the famine is not of bread or water but instead for hearing the TRUTH of GOD's WORD, which is already taking place today because sadly most "churches" today are not familiar with the TRUTH of GOD's WORD because they never take the time to dig into it, but instead teach what they've been told (traditions of men) and their own words. Just because a doctrine may sound nice, or just because a doctrine may be popular, doesn't make it true. Just think about the seven churches in Revelation; only two of the seven was GOD pleased with (Smyrna and Philadelphia) because they taught who the kenites were and kept the Key of David and they preached the TRUTH of GOD's WORD. Clearly that's not the majority and as we know, the majority is not always right anyways. Notice it also says "pestilences and earthquakes". Think about the major outbreaks of disease occurring across the world today, such as Measles, Ebola, and now the Coronavirus. These major earthquakes that are mentioned here are also taking place as well. Major earthquakes which used to be very rare are now happening every few days across the world. Just think about the ones that hit California in July (2019); 6.4 and 7.1 magnitudes that occurred unexpectedly.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows (ōdín).
Notice this word "sorrows". In the Greek it is ōdín which means birth-pangs. It lets us know that when we see these signs, then the birth of a new age is about to begin. If you're a woman who has given birth to a child before, then think about your pregnancy; the birth-pangs began to get more intense as you got closer to your child's birth. So is it with these end times.
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
This word kill in the Greek is apokteínō which is figuratively speaking for the time when we as GOD's elect are delivered up before death, which is one of satan's names. As we know, GOD's WORD (the BIBLE) doesn't contradict itself. Luke 21:17-19 even tells us that not one hair on our heads will perish at that time. After all, GOD always takes care of HIS own and if satan were to start having a bunch of people murdered, it would be pretty difficult to convince everyone he's "Jesus". Why is it that the whole world will hate us? Because they will think we're the devil worshipers for standing against this first "messiah" (satan) who appears, when really they are the ones who have mistaken satan for Jesus, and are the true devil worshipers. Think about Revelation 11 with the two witnesses. At that time you will either know them as true witnesses of our HEAVENLY FATHER, which they will be, or you will know them as enemies of our HEAVENLY FATHER as the rest of the world will think at that time. Again, let no man deceive you of what will be taking place at that time. We're living in the last generation which means this will be the generation that sees this come to pass. Are you prepared? Are you familiar with the order of events of these end times? If not, continue to pay close attention. See also Revelation 9:4.
10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
Why is it that many will be offended, betray, and hate? Because as GOD's elect, when we refuse to worship this fake messiah (satan), who everyone else will worship at that time, mistaking him for Jesus, they are going to label us as blasphemers because they were mislead by the traditions of men. Mark 13:12 gives us a more detailed example of this betrayal. It says "Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death." This verse lets us know that certain family members who are deceived into thinking satan is Jesus at that time, will be betraying each other by leading each other to satan (death) when he appears, and those same people will even try to convince and lead us as GOD's elect to satan and try and convince him (satan) to have "mercy" on us, for not worshiping him, when really we are the ones who know he's a fake. Now if it were possible for them to get satan to convert (deceive) us, then that would be the ultimate spiritual death, which is the unpardonable (unforgivable) sin. Again, satan is going to try everything he can to deceive us because he's already sentenced to death and he's looking to bring others with him; he's nothing but a fake with a mission to deceive, destroy, and to kill spiritually. Just think back to Genesis 3 with how cunning he was and how he deceived Adam and Eve in the garden. satan loves to twist scripture and if you're not careful, you could be deceived and that would be the very death of your eternal soul if you are one of GOD's elect (one who knows better). This is a very serious thing and so now you can probably understand why GOD is so strongly against those who teach the fly away at any moment (rapture) doctrine as it's written in Ezekiel 13, because it sets people up to worship satan. As GOD's elect, who know the TRUTH of HIS WORD, we were chosen from the foundations of the world, back to the time of that first earth age (the world that then was) because GOD knows that we can endure the test of this flesh life and stand against satan because we already did it once before, and so HE knows we can do it again. Again as we mentioned above though, if it is possible for an elect to be deceived and to start worshiping satan, then that would be the unpardonable (unforgivable) sin. Again, JESUS said not to let anyone deceive us. Listen to GOD's WORD and only GOD's WORD. Check out everything you hear and see from others for your own self.
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
Notice CHRIST said many. Most "pastors" today only preach about salvation and motivational speeches each week and they never get into the real meat of GOD's WORD as CHRIST expects us to partake of. They provide their members with a false sense of hope by telling them that all they have to do is believe, which again is only setting them up to worship the first "messiah" (satan) who is going to appear. There's never been a time in history where so many people are mislead as they are today. The kenites have been busy setting up the four hidden dynasties and so prophecy is coming to pass each day. Again, put on the whole armour of GOD and study to show yourself approved because we have a destiny laid out before us; to those who allow GOD to use and speak through them at that time. See also Mark 13:11.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
This iniquity mentioned here is lawlessness from where people have thrown GOD's WORD aside for a bunch of lies. When the time comes and satan is officially here on earth, claiming and pretending to be Jesus, many people's love for the TRUE JESUS CHRIST will vanish because they will be so busy worshiping and whoring after satan.
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
Notice it doesn't say endure part of the way, but instead "endure unto the end"; that means the end of this flesh age (until the first tribulation of satan is over). In other words, we who endure unto the end by waiting for our TRUE CHRIST at the 7th trumpet (the last trumpet), shall be Saved because we remained pure by not worshiping satan as everyone else will have done at that time. It won't be a happy time at all for those who don't wait. That is why it is written in Luke 23:30 and Revelation 6:15-16 that they will wish for mountains to fall upon them because they will be so greatly ashamed of what they have done.
14 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.
15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation (satan), spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place (Mt. Zion), (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
This is what is written in Daniel 9:27; it says "And he (satan) shall confirm the covenant with many for one week (the last seven years [shortened to just five months in Revelation 9:5, 9:10): and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate." The "abominations" is when satan deceives the world and appears in Jerusalem claiming to be "Christ". "Desolate" as you see in this verse, should really be translated desolator in the English because this is an entity (satan) being described, not a condition as you can see in the manuscripts.
16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
This gives us the geographical location where CHRIST tells us not to be. I.e. HE's saying flee into the mountains (or other nations) because after satan has appeared and our TRUE CHRIST then returns, HE will be pouring out HIS wrath first here. A great example and comparison to look back on would be with Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 19). Compare to Luke 17:29.
17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
The housetop is where the watchmen stayed. As CHRISTians and GOD's elect, in these end times, we are to be watchmen so that we can be prepared for when the enemy (satan) arrives. Again, that is why we are told in Ephesians 6:11 to have the whole armour of GOD (HIS WORD and TRUTH) on. Notice there's no time to go back and grab possessions from the house. Those living in this area are to flee immediately.
18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
Again, there will be no time to return to grab a change of clothes or possessions in your home if you're living in this area (Judea) at that time. Just forget about them and flee immediately. Don't be like Lot and his family who lingered around (Genesis 19:16) until it was almost too late. Just leave.
19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
This has absolutely nothing to do with having children with your spouse but instead it's referring to being taken out of season. As it's written in 2 Corinthians 11:2 "For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ". As we can clearly see, CHRIST expects us to remain a virgin bride for HIS return (spiritually speaking) at the seventh trumpet. If HE comes back and finds that you have been deceived and suckered into worshiping satan as the whole rest of the world will have done at that time (Revelation 13:8), then you have then been taken out of season and are no longer a virgin bride to CHRIST, and will therefore have received the mark of the beast. CHRIST has feelings too. This would be the exact same as if you were to go away for a while, let's just say your job requires you to go on a long distance trip, and you come back to find your spouse in bed with someone else; imagine the hurt you would feel knowing your spouse turned their back on you for someone else, especially satan. Again, CHRIST is speaking spiritually here so that we could understand the hurt HE is going to feel at this time. Again, those with child are those spiritually impregnated by satan and his one world system and "those who give suck" are those nursing along satan's works.
20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
This "flight" is referring to those fleeing Judea. As we know, harvest season is in the summer and fall, not the winter, and to be taken astray in the winter would mean that you have then been taken out of season (out of harvest time). Why does it say "neither on the sabbath day"? Because on the sabbath day you could travel no more than a mile and that would be no where near far enough to escape the wrath of GOD in this area.
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
This is going to be the greatest deception this world has ever seen. Again, remember that the first tribulation is satan's deception, and the second tribulation is the return of our TRUE JESUS CHRIST.
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
GOD knows exactly how tricky satan can be. After all satan is the one who deceived a third of the world in the first earth age, so therefore for our sake as GOD's elect, HE has shortened the time to just five months (Revelation 9:5, 9:10).
23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
Again, let no man deceive you by any means... (2 Thessalonians 2:3).
24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
As long as you remain faithful and pure to our TRUE CHRIST, by waiting for HIM to speak through you when it's time to be delivered up (Mark 13:11), you won't have to worry about being deceived. Fear (revere) no one but GOD.
25 Behold, I have told you before.
Everything mentioned here in the New Testament and Revelation is exactly what was foretold all throughout in the Old Testament. Sadly many are told today by other so called "Christians" not to worry about studying the Old Testament because "it doesn't apply to us today", when they couldn't be any more deceived and away from the truth. Matthew 5:17-18 clearly says "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled."
26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
If someone tells you that CHRIST has returned and you're still in your flesh body, that's capable of feeling pain such as from a pinch, then don't believe it; for no one will even really have to tell you, for you will already know when our TRUE CHRIST has returned. Again, 1 Corinthians 15:51-52 tells us that ALL will be changed into their spiritual bodies, in the blink of an eye, once our TRUE CHRIST has returned, which occurs at the seventh trumpet.
27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Again, as 1 Corinthians 15:52 says, HIS return will be as quick as the twinkling or blink of an eye, once all these other things have come to pass.
28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
I.e. just as eagles and vultures gather around and feed on dead animals (carcasses), so will it be with the spiritually dead Christians who are feeding off of satan's (death's) deception into thinking they are going to fly away. Again, that is why GOD says in Ezekiel 13:20 that HE is against those who teach HIS people that they are going to fly away because it sets them up for failure; it gives people a false sense of hope and satan will be doing just that to try and deceive GOD's people, with help from his fallen angels who come disguised as ministers of the light. Again, always check out everything you hear and see in the WORD of GOD for your own self. As Romans 3:4 says "...let God be true, but every man a liar...".
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
Remember there are two tribulations (1st tribulation = satan's. 2nd tribulation = CHRIST's). What CHRIST is saying is that immediately after the tribulation of those days (satan's tribulation) shall the coming of the TRUE CHRIST and the start of the Millennium (the LORD's day) be. Here we see another sign that our TRUE CHRIST has not yet returned and that is the sun, moon, and the stars are still in the sky shining today; once they're gone and no longer visible to the eye, shining, we will know our TRUE CHRIST has returned for HIS light outshines them all. See also 2 Thessalonians 2:8.
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn (quoted from Zechariah 12:11-12), and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
Why is it that the people shall "mourn"? Because they will then realize what they have done (worshiped satan and his one world system) and will no longer be a virgin bride for CHRIST (spiritually speaking).
31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
For more information on the four winds, stay tuned in for our study "The Four Winds".
32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
Again, summer and fall represents the time of harvest (our TRUE CHRIST's return). That is why we read earlier not to be taken out of season (verse 20). Notice CHRIST didn't say that maybe we should learn the parable of the fig tree, HE said for us to learn it. HE gave us a commandment. After all, the only way anyone can really be familiar with these end times and what all is going on is to understand that parable. For more information on that parable, stay tuned in for our study "The Parable of The Fig Tree".
33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
This has already occurred in the year 1948 (May, 14th) and that is exactly how we know we're living in the final generation. How very important it is for us to know the order of events because our time is just about up, before satan takes power and causes the whole world to whore after him (Revelation 13). Again, as Ephesians 6:11 tells us "Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil." See also Jeremiah 24.
34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
All of these things must be fulfilled before our TRUE CHRIST returns. No where will you find it written any other way, for HIS WORD does not contradict itself.
35 Heaven and earth shall pass away (i.e. this second heaven and earth age shall end), but my words shall not pass away.
36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
Although no man knows the precise moment when our TRUE CHRIST returns, we are given the season and we are given the order of events of what must happen before HE does return, as we just went over. We are to be watchmen in these end times.
37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Just as satan's fallen angels (the nephilim) were present in the days of Noah, seducing women, in attempt to disrupt the seedline of CHRIST, so will they be present in these end times, to try and seduce people spiritually; disguising themselves as "Christian Ministers" in attempt to deceive people into thinking satan is Jesus.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
See also Genesis 6.
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
It will appear to be all "great" and "wonderful" when satan has risen to power and most everyone thinks he's Jesus, providing peace and prosperity but then that is when our TRUE CHRIST will come as a thief in the night (2 Peter 3:10) and people will then realize who they have worshiped. As it's written in Isaiah 14:16-17, they will say "Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?"
40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
I.e. one will be taken in, out of season (deceived by satan), while the other will continue to work in the field (world), until harvest time (the return of our TRUE CHRIST). Remember CHRIST told us in the thirteenth verse of this chapter "But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved." That word "endure" in the Greek is hypoménō and it means to tarry behind and remain, enduring the trials of these end times that are to come. True warriors and children of CHRIST will endure the adversity of these end times, for we know we've already won and that CHRIST will give us the strength to get through it, for HE always takes care of HIS own. Once again, remain a virgin bride as 2 Corinthians 11 tells us, for our TRUE CHRIST (spiritually speaking).
41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Those who never get around to studying and teaching GOD's WORD, chapter by chapter and verse by verse, aren't going to be prepared for this and that is why they will be taken out of season and eventually wish for the mountains to fall upon them (Luke 23:30, Revelation 6:15-16).
42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
Again, nobody knows the precise and exact moment of our TRUE CHRIST's return, but we've been given the season and the order of events which are to come before.
43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
The goodman is the one who provides his house and family with the meat of GOD's WORD, whereby they are prepared and not deceived by satan and his fallen angels, disguised as "Christian ministers". Are you preparing your loved ones with the meat? Hopefully because if you aren't, you could wind up losing it. See also "The Parable of The Sower & Tares".
44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
Again, the majority of people (the whole world* [Revelation 13:8]) aren't going to be expecting CHRIST's return because they will already think he has returned when in reality it's satan they have been worshiping. Compare to Revelation 17:12.
45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
Many people are stuck on the milk of GOD's WORD today by thinking all they have to do is believe and live a good life, when there is so much more to GOD's WORD than that; for the elect have a destiny laid out before them. Are you one of them? As it's written in Hebrews 5, CHRIST desires for us to come off of the milk and to partake of the meat. Stay tuned in for our study "GOD's Elect".
46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
Are you a true warrior for GOD? Are you willing to take on the spiritual war that is to come? If so, keep studying each and everyday and continue to prepare yourself, as well as others, for that time is almost here. The blessed servant is the one who continues to work in the field and the one who endures unto the end. As the next chapter (Matthew 25) tells us, concerning the ten virgins, we are to get the oil (the TRUTH) for our lamp (mind), so that we will be prepared.
47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
As Revelation 20:6 says "Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years." Those who take part in the first resurrection by remaining a virgin bride for our TRUE CHRIST at the seventh trumpet, they will be teachers in the Millennium for those who didn't overcome, who fell to the first "messiah" (satan). For more information on the Millennium (the LORD's day) and what we will be doing then, stay tuned in for our study "The Millennium".
48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken (the rest of the deceived);
Some "Christians" become dead in their faith and their spiritual life because they get out of the WORD and start lusting after the things of this world, and the moment they think CHRIST isn't coming and they start partaking of satan's one world system, and start joining in with everyone else who begins to mistake him as God, they will therefore become drunken and deceived as the rest of the world will at this time and so when our TRUE CHRIST does return, at the seventh trumpet, [which again is after the first tribulation of satan], they will be in a great deal of hurt.
50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
I.e. the servant who falls short by not watching, who quits studying and paying attention to these end times and the order of events, who instead joins the rest of the deceived world at this time, by falling into and partaking of satan's one world system, they will be in for a great rude awakening when they realize the TRUE CHRIST has returned. Again, the reason most people won't be expecting HIM is because they will already think HE is here.
51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
You're either on CHRIST's team or you're on satan's (antichrist's) team. The end is drawing nearer each day and so you better be prepared for what is to come. Those who fall into and partake of satan's one world system that will appear to be so "good" in the eyes of the people, will have received the mark of the beast and will therefore be in a great deal of hurt when our TRUE CHRIST returns and they then realize what they have done (been taken out of season). Once again, as 2 Thessalonians 2:3 says "Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;".
