For pretribulation rapture deniers: (281)

Pre trib denial is an argument from silence. Its actually a silly premise, much akin to the atheist line of reasoning.

It is impossible to prove something WILL NOT happen. Its ridiculous. Why? Well, where is your proof for something you say does not exist?

But IF post tribbers studied their Bibles, they’d see a clear line of distinction between the bride’s and the martyr’s rewards, and the reward for those still alive on earth after Armageddon, for which, to date, I’ve not seen an explanation for. This is the elephant in the room.

The Bride’s blessing: This is our reward: “The Elect” alive whe we return with Jesus DO NOT receive these things: Theirs is an entirely different set of blessings.

We receive: A Throne, Rev 3:21. Eternal life, Rev 3:5. Spared from “the hour of trial that is to come upon the whole earth”, Rev 3:10, Mal 3:17-18). “kings and priests unto God”- reign on earth, Rev 5:9-10, Mt 19:28, Rev 20:4. Judging the world, 1 Cor 6:2 Eph 2:6. A crown: Rev 2:10, 3:21. Power over the nations: Rev 2:26. A new name, Rev 2:7. A white robe: Rev 3:5, Name in the Book of life, Rev 3:5. Access to the tree of life. Rev 2:7. Hidden manna, Rev 2:17. A white stone. Rev 2:17. Eternal life, Rev 2:11 A rod of iron, Rev 2:27. The morning star, Rev 2.28. Others will worship at our feet, Rev 3:9. Mal 3:17-18. Peace, John 14:27. A home, Rev 21:7-9 The planet earth, Matt 5:5.

The blessing for the Elect at Christ’s second coming:

Matt 25;34 Then shall the King say unto them on His right hand, ‘Come, ye blessed of My Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

IS 65:20 There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed.

Isaiah 65:23-24. They shall build houses and inhabit them; They shall plant vineyards and eat their fruit. They shall not build and another inhabit; They shall not plant and another eat; For as the days of a tree, so shall be the days of My people, And My elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands.

King David’s reward:

Ezekiel 37:24 King James Version 24 And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them.

Jeremiah 30:9 “But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.” King James Version (KJV)

A special gift to David: Amos 9 8 Behold, the eyes of the Lord God are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; saving that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith the Lord.

9For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth.

10 All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us.

11 In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old:12 That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, which are called by my name, saith the Lord that doeth this.

13 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt.

14 And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.

15 And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the Lord thy God.20 There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed.

David’s future. Where is he going to sit? (273)

I sometimes hear preacher’s say: “When Jesus returns, he will rule the world from the throne of David”.

I always found that statement a little strange simply because it begs the question “If Jesus gets David’s throne, where is David going to sit?”

The Bible clarifies that statement. Jesus is not going to sit on David’s throne. Jesus will have his own throne, and David will too. David will be a prince king, also called a king regent, just like we will.

King David will rule Israel with the twelve apostles. He will have his own throne, just as we will. And he will inherit the same promises we will.

The following verses also tell us David is in heaven.

KIng David has a glorious future ahead. Here are a few bible verses that make mention of his future.

Amos 9:10 All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us. In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old: That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, which are called by my name, saith the LORD that doeth this.

Jeremiah 30:9 ⁹ But they shall serve the Lord their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.

Ezekial 34:22-27

²² Therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between cattle and cattle.

²³ And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.

²⁴ And I the Lord will be their God, and my servant David a prince among them; I the Lord have spoken it.

²⁴ And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them.

²⁵ And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children’s children for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince for ever.

²⁶ Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.

²⁷ My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

²⁸ And the heathen shall know that I the Lord do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.

Who will rule Israel with King David?

Jesus gives us the answer to that question in Matthew 19:28. And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

Here is a list of the other things King David will inherit:

His former tabernacle: Amos 9:10

A Throne: Rev 5:9-10, Mt 19:28, Rev 20;:4, Eph 2:6.

A crown: Rev 2:10, 3:21.

Power over the nations: Rev 2:26.

A new name Rev 2:7.

A white robe: Rev 3:5.

Name in the Book of life. Rev 3:5.

Access to the tree of life. Rev 2:7.

Hidden manna. Rev 2:17.

A white stone. Rev 2:17.

Eternal life. Rev 2:11

A rod of iron. Rev 2:27.

The morning star. Rev 2.28

Others will worship at his feet. Rev 3:9.

Peace. John 14:27

A home: Rev 21:7-9

The planet earth. Matt 5:5

Blessings!

John 14:

 1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

² In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

³ And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

We have SO MUCH to look forward too, God Bless!

Those robes: The wedding kittle. (269)

In the Jewish wedding, all guests are required to wear white robes. The Bride wears white also “fine linen, clean and white” but is clearly distinguishable from the guests in her apparel.

Rev 3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

Rev 4:4  And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.

Rev 6:10And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?

¹¹ And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.

Rev 7:9 ⁹ After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;

7:14And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 

Rev 15:6 And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen.

Rev 18:20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.

Rev 19 1And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God: 2For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand. 

7Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. 8And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

9And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. 

Rev 19:14And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. 

Note a difference, but not really.

Fine linen”, clean and white is the bride’s apparel. Other saints receive white robes.

When we return to judge the elect, notice no white robes are mentioned. These saints missed the wedding, but they will nonetheless celebrate with a feast, the second feast of the marriage supper. Mt 8:11.

Matthew 8:11 I say to you that many [Gentiles] will come from east and west, and will sit down [to feast at the table, and enjoy God’s promises] with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven 

And unlike US the saints in rev 5:9-10, the Elect will not receive a crown, nor any authority to judge. They are mortal kingdom citizens, and repopulate the earth in the regeneration.

Blessings!

 

Mt 27:52-53. The beginning of the first resurrection. The first fruits harvest. (261)

Jesus rose from the dead on feast of firstfruits. OT saints arose with him shortly after.

That event was prophesied in at least 2 places in the OT.

Hosea 6:1 Come, and let us return unto the Lord: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.

2 After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.

IS 26:19 Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.

Matthew 27:52-53

⁵² And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,

⁵³ And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

This happened after Jesus resurrection, this company of saints were removed from Abraham’s bosom, see Eph 4:8

⁸ Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.

⁹ (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?

¹⁰ He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)

1 Pet 3:19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;

20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.

They are in heaven with Jesus, and are seen as the elders in Rev 4:4. Note they are seated with Crowns. Rev 4:4⁴ And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.

Our crowning will be in Rev 11:18, the Bema seat judgement. ¹⁸ And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth. Also see Rev 5:9-10 “kings and priests” and Rev 1:6. Kings wear crowns.

The next harvest is the dead saints after Calvary, the barley, then it will be our turn.(if alive at the time). First fruits wheat. 1Thess 4:16 “the dead in Christ shall rise first, then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up to meet the Lord in the air, so shall we ever be with the Lord”

The olives, wheat and gleanings follow in the tribulation. These will most all be tribulation martyers. Our harvest precedes them, we will not be in these companies of saints.

“Therefore comfort one another with these words” 1 Thess 4:18.

Blessings!
