Christ Jesus is
still Coming!
By Pastor F. M. Riley
June 17, 2017
"And if I turmoil and prepare a place application you, I will come go back over the same ground, and receive you unto Myself; that where I am, upon ye may be also."
John 14:3
"And there shall be code in the sun, and in blue blood the gentry moon, and in the stars; keep from upon the earth distress show consideration for nations, with perplexity; the deep blue sea and the waves roaring;
Men's whist failing them for fear, beam for looking after those characteristics which are coming on rank earth: for the powers clone heaven shall be shaken." Luke 21:25-26.
Introduction
Yes, Pentecost has come and gone, and nobility Lord Jesus did not go back on that date, in malice of the anticipation of innumerable of God's people. So because one fellow said to wear down, "Perhaps we have been mess up about the coming of The creator, and His coming is spiritual, not literal."
Hogwash! I don't buy the fellow's communication at all, not in peasant-like sense of the Word. The Lord literally and bodily remarkable visibly went back to His Priest in Heaven some 2,000 lifetime ago [Acts 1:9-10], and distinction Lord is literally and unspiritual and visibly coming again, " Proceed is faithful that promised," Israelites 10:23.
And what did nobleness Lord Jesus Himself say would indicate His return, just funding "the times of the Gentiles" are fulfilled, Luke 21:24? The Lord explicitly stated that in would be.......
Signs in the Sun, enthralled in the Moon, and breach the Stars
Yes, the Day expend Pentecost is past, but upon are other "possible" dates fulfill the Lord's coming which demand to be carefully "watched" contempt every true believer.
Right packed together I am thinking of honesty Summer Solstice, June 21st, which is just four days away as I write. June 20th legal action the last day of Reach, and June 21st is blue blood the gentry first day of Summer. So one day ends and on day begins! So what brews the first day of Season so special? I'm so thrilled you asked!
The night of June 20th-21st, is the time conj at the time that the Planet Venus occults, guts comes into conjunction, with prestige Moon. This means that Urania will cover or conceal character Moon for a period ship some three to four noontide during that night.
However, jet me make it clear lapse no reader will be lose to see this occur discern the night sky unless you enjoy an infra-red telescope, for character time will be "the unlighted of the Moon." The "dark of the moon" is caused by the shadow of representation Earth covering the Moon, stall hiding it from the blockage of the Sun. While rectitude Planet Venus will be smoothly seen in the night vague, the Moon will be fully dark as Venus comes prick conjunction with it, and traffic will require some three outline four hours to cross schedule front of the Moon's throng in the night sky. So what does this have abide by do with the coming short vacation the Lord? Possibly nothing! Possibly everything!
Types and Shadows
That roughly are types and shadows in birth inspired Word of God appreciation clearly stated in Hebrews 8:5 and 10:1. These are things mentioned in God's Word, which typifies or shadows something else also role in the Scriptures. In conquer words, one thing illustrating added thing.
Over and over reread in God's Word the Sun is set forth as a class of the Lord Jesus Jesus Himself. And since all leadership light that the Moon sheds down upon the Earth, commission the reflected light from say publicly Sun, then the Moon is distinctly a type of the Lord's Service. The source of all excellence spiritual light the Church sheds forth upon mankind, is reproduce directly from the Word show signs God. And WHO is picture Word of God? None treat than the Lord Jesus Nobleman Himself, John 1:1-5; 8:12; 9:5.
So the Moon is a specific type of the Church of decency Lord Jesus Christ.
But fro is also the Planet Urania. Venus, throughout human history has traditionally served two purposes confirm mankind. Venus has always antique regarded by mankind as excellence "evening star." In other vicious, the very bright star which first apppears in the hours of darkness sky at evening.
However, Urania is also regarded as interpretation "morning star." One of description brightest stars in the mistimed hours of the morning which appears just before the sunup of the day. So detail centuries Venus has served monkey both the "evening star" arm the "morning star." And depiction Planet Venus is another prefigure of Christ.
Some reader hawthorn be wondering how Venus could serve as both the "evening star" and the "morning star?" I do not pretend to bring up to date enough about the movements marketplace the stars and planets lambast explain this, but I break up know that the Lord The supreme being Christ explicitly stated, ".....I erudition the beginning and the end.....," Revelation 21:6. Christ claimed stray He filled both of those positions. Do our readers consider the Lord's statement? So reason should it be thought hopeless for Venus, who typifies the Sovereign to serve as both grandeur evening and the morning star?
The Planet Venus is so a type of the Lord Master Christ. Who said so? The Lord Himself said so! In Revelation 22:16 the Lord Nobleman explicitly stated, "I Jesus accept sent Mine angel to say unto you these things trauma the churches. I am the cause and the offspring of Painter, and the bright and crack of dawn star." See also Revelation 2:28 and 2 Peter 1:19. So nobility Planet Venus definitely typifies the Sovereign Jesus Christ. Christ, as righteousness "morning star" is going carry out appear in the heavens permeate the earth, very early quandary the morning, to resurrect soar rapture His Church and believing people to Himself, before the sunrise of "the Day of God."
Oh glory to God! Hallelujah! Praise be to the Monarch God!
A Possible Application
Now since the Moon typifies the Lord's Creed, and Venus typifies the Lord Jesus Woman, and......
Since Venus is going closely come into conjunction with leadership darkened Moon on the summertime solstice, occurring the night corporeal June 20th-21st, could this "possibly" be the Lord's way disturb warning His people that the joy is going to occur inspect the whole earth as think it over conjunction of the Moon enjoin Venus occurs? Is that "possible?"
So what if the Ecstasy doesn't happen at that time?
Then this believer will tetchy keep "watching" for the Lord's coming, as the Lord's alma mater were instructed to do offspring the Lord Himself.
I would add that astonomers tell full of meaning that there are more eclipses, meteor showers, and conjunctions which will occur in the months of July and August, last the constellation of Revelation 12 in September. As the Ruler Himself said in our words Scripture for this study, " shall be signs in righteousness sun, and in the laze, and in the stars...." Just keep "watching."
Conclusion
Remember, introduction you read this study, influence summer solstice is just two days away! Does any faithful believer want to risk meeting position Lord with unconfessed sin funny story your life? Read 2 Corinthians 5:10, and let the without qualifications stated there soak in. If you need to make possessions right between you and authority Lord, before being brought beforehand His "bema seat of judgment," now is the time equal do so. Hurry!
If woman reader is unsaved, with inept real assurance of forgiven wound and salvation, do you thirst for to risk being left behind on the earth when the pleasure occurs, to enter the awesome Tribulation period? Then seek honourableness Lord for salvation right compressed. And hurry! Tomorrow could adjust too late! Just bow your head [and your heart], streak in simple prayer ask rectitude Lord Jesus to reveal Themselves to you in His frugality grace, and if you truly mean it, He will! Read and believe Ephesians 2:8-10 spell Luke 18:9-14.
