THE LIVING, SEALED, TRANSLATED 144,000 FINAL ISRAEL

August 23, 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

THE LIVING, SEALED, TRANSLATED 144,000 FINAL ISRAEL

“And after these things I saw 4 angels standing on the 4 corners of the earth, holding the 4 winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor in any tree. And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the SEAL of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the 4 angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, TILL WE HAVE SEALED the servants of our God in their foreheads. And I heard the NUMBER of them which were sealed: and there were sealed 144,000 of the tribes of the children of Israel.” Rev.7: 1-4, AV. See verses 5-8 then compare to Rev. 14: 1-5.

“To complete Christ’s work and make it efficacious for man, such a demonstration must be made. It must be shown [‘to men, the world, and angels’] that man can overcome as Christ overcame.”

THE THIRD PHASE OF CHRIST’S WORK IN HIS HUMAN NATURE FOR OUR SALVATION

August 21, 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

THE THIRD PHASE OF CHRIST’S WORK IN HIS HUMAN NATURE FOR OUR SALVATION

“When Christ at last cried out, ‘It is finished,’ He had completed the SECOND PHASE of His work. But there was still THIRD PHASE before Him, which included His SESSION at the right hand of God as [the penitent sinner’s merciful High Priest, all-powerful Mediator, Intercessor and Advocate] and the demonstration which He was to make IN His saints in earth—a work closely connected with that which He was to do in the SANCTUARY ABOVE, and vital to our [eternal] salvation.”

“Christ had demonstrated in HIS OWN BODY that it was possible to be completely victorious over sin; but the question would naturally arise as to whether His victory was merely a SiNGULAR DEMONSTRATION made possible by His unique relation to the Father OR whether OTHERS could do what He had done? Could men overcome as He had overcame?”
