'The Agape Letters' to the House of Faith!

Volume 4 Chapter 8 Page 2

Friday August 3, 2007       19 Av 5767 (Hebrew 10th Month)

"Days be Shortened!"

 
"For HIS Glorious Return!"

 

Matthew 24:22 (Amplified Bible)
 
(Jesus speaking)
And if those days had not been shortened,
no human being would endure and survive,
but for the sake of the elect (God's chosen ones)
those days will be shortened.

 

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>|||<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

The Apostle Matthew records the WORDs of Jesus, as HE speaks of 'those days will be shortened', of an hour where the intensity of oppression and persecution of Believers heightens, hastening that Day of HIS Glorious Return to earth as King and Judge.

Christ warns HIS disciples, that false prophets and teachers will come saying, 'Look, here is the Christ', being made aware of this deception before it actually comes to pass.

Why would Christ warn those who BELIEVE in HIM of such perilous times, if HIS WORDS were not meant to be understood and followed?

All the while, the diversion of 'Correctness' continues drawing Believers in Christ away from 'Righteousness'.

God's Hand is not slow in HIS Judgement, as we consider time, as a thousand years are as a 'Day' in HIS Presence.

What should be foremost upon the hearts of Believers in Christ?

Eternity is without time, everlasting and forever, and should those who reject Christ as Lord and Savior, be condemned to separation from God's Presence because I have ignored HIS WORD?

The Apostle Paul says,

Titus 2:11-14
For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men.
It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age,
while we wait for the blessed hope—the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ,
who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.

I have been therefore commanded by Christ, to 'Do that which is good and acceptable in the sight of God'!

Every day brings me ONE Day nearer to what Christ prophesied 2000 years ago, HIS Glorious and Triumphant Return, redeeming those who live by Faith in HIM have endured all these things by submitting to Holy Spirit for 'Strength and Courage'!

More of who Christ IS to me!

          MORE like HIM,

                        I desire to be!!

                      Some day SOON, with HIM I will BE!!!

O'Lord, YOUR WORDs are a Comfort and Solace for my soul!
There is none like YOU, O'Lord,
in all of heaven or in the earth!!
YOUR Promise of Salvation is sure,
and my Hope in YOU is made secure,
because as my Savior and King,
YOU Reign over me now and forever!!!

Holy is YOUR Name above every Name,

King Jesus, Lamb of God!

Amen!!!
