Doing The Math

 

Doing The Math

     Wow!  Putting the pieces of prophecy together can give one a headache.  Even Solomon said an excess of studying is wearisome.  Yet, why would God give foresight if not to sharpen our Biblical reasoning?  So here goes ….

A timeline is necessary to construct.

Jesus’ sacrifice – Matthew 27

The Church’s start - Acts 2

The Church’s rapture – 1 Thessalonians 4

The gathering of the Jews – Revelation 1 – 3

The time of wrath – Revelation 4 – 19

Christ’s return – Revelation 19

Satan bound in pit – Revelation 20

The first resurrection – Revelation 20

The call to rebuild Jerusalem – Daniel 9

The building of Ezekial’s temple – Ezekial 40 – 42 (taking seven weeks)

The Lord entering the temple – Ezekial 43

The Lord reigning with the elect – Revelation 20 (for sixty-two weeks)

The Lord leaves the temple – Daniel 9

Satan is loosed - Revelation 20

Satan covenants by trickery – Daniel 11

Satan ends daily sacrifice – Daniel 9

Satan musters his army – Daniel 11, Revelation 20

The elect fight – Daniel 11

Satan is defeated – Daniel 11, Revelation 20

Satan is cast into the lake of fire – Revelation 20

The dead are judged – Revelation 20

New Jerusalem, Earth and Heaven – Revelation 21, 22

     That is one good thing about prophecy.  I can be dead wrong.  This understanding is nothing to build sound church doctrine upon.  Principles of truth and love prevail.  My views may be pure conjecture.  But still, it provides a backbone to reassure me Jesus has the future all wrapped up.

The Church Picture

  The Church Picture 2 Samiuel 6: 20  “ Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How glorious was the king of Israel to day, who uncovered himself to day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself! 21  And David said unto Michal, It was before the  Lord , which chose me before thy father, and before all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the  Lord , over Israel: therefore will I play before the  Lord . 22  And I will yet be more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight: and of the maidservants which thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in honour. ” Revelation 4: 10  “ The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, 11  Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive ...

Infectious Disease

  Infectious Disease      I watch network T.V., the free kind over the airwaves.   It is inundated with self-help medicine commercials.   I think of Sky-ri-zee .   Perhaps this is the concoction for clearer skin.   What wouldn’t an Aaronic priest have given for this special med?   “Got a blemish?   Come closer, son.   Looks like the onset of leprosy.   Go away.   Two pills in the mouth and come back in seven.”   Much of Leviticus would have to be rewritten.   The red heifer sacrifice could be summed up with a cream.   “Touched a dead body?   Rub this on the contact area.   Go away.   Come back tomorrow.”      But what if pills don’t work?   Adam would have O.D.’d on the blue and reds seeking to forget the fall. Thankfully the neighborhood drug store was not on his corner.   He heard vaguely of a savior to come.   God said it was in his genes.   ...

God's Successive Revelations

  God’s Successive Revelations Search Me diligently, and I will reveal Myself to you.      Yah, that sound like something God would say.   I understand He revealed the Trinity to us.   I plead ignorance in Church history.   Some theologians, perhaps 400 A.D. came upon this gem that we hold true today.   The idea of the rapture is new on the Church radar.   Late 1800’s?      What if God revealed His truth to His people in time?   Surely, Solomon was the wisest man in his day, but did he know about Pentecost?   Daniel, the far seer, was only shown glimpses.   What did he know of Peter and miracles in the temple?   A certain king discovered God’s truth again and that made for a reformation, but what did he know of the beast standing in the sea?   God gives insight in His time.      I have trained seven children.   As young  children, I did not flood them with...
