The King Is Coming

Beloved, the return of Jesus and the closure of the curtains of this age is very near, it is at the doorstep. When you see the current wars and happenings on the globe, it is because of that, everything is coming into place for the return of Jesus. If you are a Christian, these are not the time to be joking about the unnecessary things of life, be focus and do the work because the Great Lord is coming very soon. Share this devotion to as many.

Jesus said, “You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me, yet you refuse to come to me to have life......John 5:39-40NIV” The Scripture testifies about Jesus. “Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.......Luke 24:25-27KJV” So Moses talked about Jesus and remember that he Moses was a prophet. When Israel was about to leave Egypt, this is the instruction God gave regarding the passover. “And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt saying, This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you. Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house:......Exodus 12:1-3KJV” They were to take a lamb on the tenth day of the month, which was going to be the first month of the year for them but when were they to sacrifice the lamb?

“And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening...Exodus 12:6KJV” They were to keep it for four days in the month, which was going to be the beginning of the year unto them. Why so? This is because Jesus was going to be crucified on a day in history, which will be 4000 years from the creation and foundation of the earth. Yes, Jesus died on year 4000 since Adam. Hold on to this thought! Now how many years is Jesus supposed to remain in heaven before returning, after his ascension? Let us consider the words of another prophet called Hosea. “I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early. 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.After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight....Hosea 5:15-6:1-2KJV” What at all was the Prophet talking about? And which people was he referring to? The answer is in the next verse. Let us observe the next verse “Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth...Hosea 6:3KJV” The Prophet was talking about the ascension and second coming of Jesus. The Apostle James even quotes Hosea 6:3 in his write up on the second coming of the Master. Let us observe. “Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh...James 5:7-8KJV”

 

So when He said, “I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early. 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. After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight...”, what
