Jesus revealed that fact in His word.
`God (the Father)....may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before, whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, of which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy ptophets since the world began.` (Acts 3: 20 & 21)
The very first event of the times of restoration is the Lord with His body enthroned on His own throne in the highest.
`To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with me on my throne..` (Rev. 3: 21)
Note the `all things` begins with visible rulership in the highest. The Lord made rulership positions for Himself. he gave man and an angel opportunity to reveal their inability to rule righteously
`For by Him all things were created whether thrones.... for Him.` (Col. 1: 16)
Thank you for those beautiful scripture verses.
However, there is no pre-trib rapture mentioned in any of them.
#1 TRUTH and
7 Reasons why the Church/Body of Christ goes thru the Great Tribulation =
JESUS Said we must.
John 16:33
"These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
Pay full attention to what the LORD desires for His Bride:
a.) Stay with your Husband = "In ME you have Peace"
b.) "I have Overcome the world"
The LORD always Speaks Truth and here in John 16:33 JESUS is laying the foundation for the Great Tribulation that His Bride must go thru. For CHRIST calls for us to resist evil and to Overcome satan even as HE Overcame = Revelation
Rev 2:7 - “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God.” ’
Rev 2:11 - “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death.” ’
Rev 2:17 - “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receives
it.”
Rev 2:26-29
And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations—
‘He shall rule them with a rod of iron;
They shall be dashed to pieces like the potter’s vessels’—
as I also have received from My Father; and I will give him the morning star.
“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” ’
Rev 3:5-6
"He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life;
but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels."
“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
Rev 3:11-13 "Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown.
He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more. I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God. And
I will write on him My new name.
“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” ’
Rev 3:20-22 "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.
To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne."
“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” ’
Can you "hear" what
the SPIRIT is Saying.........You need to in order to be an Overcomer just as JESUS Overcame
SHALOM in the Truth
