What CHILD+ is THIS ? ~ #18 Advent 2021 ~ The FIRST ADVENT of the SECOND ADAM ~ Revelation 12:5

 

Mankind has never been closer to the ending of the devil’s time on earth, for the SECOND ADVENT is drawing near. Thus, his wrath is intensifying as we number the days until the earth is removed from his grip. 

I+ AM The RESURRECTION ! I+ AM The LIFE ! JESUS CHRIST

John 11: 25 -27

 JESUS said unto Martha, 

I + am the Resurrection, 

and the Life: 

he that believeth in ME+,

though he were dead, 

yet shall he live:

 +

And whosoever liveth 

and believeth in ME+ 

shall never die. 

Believest thou this? 
+

She saith unto HIM+,

 Yea, LORD I+ believe that 

THOU+ art the CHRIST+, 

the SON+ of GOD+, 

WHO+ should come into the world.

What Did the RESURRECTION of CHRIST JESUS Do for His+ Followers ?

Besides making us VERY HAPPY that JESUS CHRIST is alive and well and is seated in ROYALTY at the Right Hand of His+ FATHER... there are certain glorious benefits we receive from His+ Resurrection... both now and later.

His+ Resurrection procured for us Life Eternal... that is, Life after our carnal death.

It did some other things, too !

 His+ RESURRECTION procured for us the SANCTIFICATION of the Baptismal waters of Holy Baptism. ( See 1 Peter 3: 21).

Notice in John 4:2 that JESUS Himself+ did not baptize... just His+ disciples.

They were baptized unto repentance... which was the repentance preached by John the Baptist.

For, the HOLY SPIRIT was not yet given because JESUS was not yet GLORIFIED. John 7:39

The HOLY SPIRIT was not yet given as a "gift" , as in the Baptismal waters in Acts 2:38,  because JESUS had not YET triumphed over the satan in Hades / Sheol. 

That TRIUMPH came after the Crucifixion... indeed, the moment His+ SPIRIT left His+ tortured and tired Body on the Cross.

The Gates of Hell 

did NOT prevail against 

HIM+.

Indeed, the ancient pre-Nicene Christian writings say that the satan and his beings fled and cowered and cringed as the LIVING SECOND ADAM+ came into their strong-hold and preached to the captives and set them free … to go with HIM+ into Heaven... leaving Sheol / Hades. 

HE+ led those who were in the strong-hold in the heart of the earth out, to the Paradise of GOD in Heaven.  As they were going... some of these spirit-men appeared to flesh-men in Jerusalem, telling them that JESUS had set them free and HE+ was the MESSIAH, according to the Ancient Pre-Nicene writings. 

No longer would the Righteous  be forced to enter the heart of the earth where Death held them captive after they died. ( The unrighteous still descend to the heart of the earth when THEY die. )

No, Followers of JESUS will not die ... meaning that they will no longer enter the realm of the dead in the heart of the earth... that is, their souls and spirits will immediately ascend to Heaven to be ever with The LORD.  They are passed from death UNTO  LIFE !  

JESUS said in John 5:24 :

 Verily, verily, I+ say unto you, He that heareth My+ word, and believeth on HIM that sent ME+, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

 But as it is written,  

Eye hath not seen, 

nor ear heard, 

neither have entered 

into the heart of man, 

the things which GOD hath prepared 

for them that love HIM.

1 Corinthians 2:9

However, their dead bodies will return to earth to await the Resurrection at the LAST TRUMPET. Then, their bodies will rise from the dust to join their spirits and souls.... all incorruptible again… all together again.  

Followers of JESUS will ALSO NOT DIE the second death which awaits all those who died and whose names are NOT written in the LAMB's+ Book of Life. (See Rev. 2:11, 20: 6, 14, and 21:8 )

Because of His+ Mighty Resurrection, we are FREED from the control of the satan.  Now the satan can only use illusions to torment us; our chains to him are severed permanently .... if we continue to agree with JESUS and to obey HIS+ Word.

Bless GOD:

FATHER, SON+, and HOLY SPIRIT.

Worthy is the LAMB+ !

Worthy is the LAMB+ !

Worthy is the LAMB+ of GOD

Slain from the Foundation of the world.

The WORD+ Incarnate....the 7th Day of Christmastide

EMMANUEL

Faithful and True,

Judging in righteousness,

Ruling all nations

With a Rod of Iron...

O Come, Let us Adore HIM+ !

Meditation

And I heard a great voice out of Heaven saying, Behold the tabernacle of GOD is with men, and HE will dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and GOD Himself shall be with them and be their GOD.

Rev. 21

O EMMANUEL+ , SON +  of the Living GOD, we thank THEE+ for donning the robe of flesh to live among us. 

We thank THEE+ for meeting satan as the Second Adam, and defeating him, so that mankind could escape the father of lies.

Help us, O EMMANUEL+ , to cling to THEE+ , Faithful and True ONE+, Who+ cannot lie.  

Blessed be GOD:

FATHER, SON+, and HOLY SPIRIT.

And, blessed be HIS Kingdom,

both now and forever,

world without end.

Amen. 

Passover Meditation #11 for the Lenten Season 2012

~  ~  ~ The Door of the Cross ~  ~ ~

Then JESUS said

unto them,

Verily, Verily I+ say

unto you,

Except ye eat the flesh of the SON+ of Man

and drink His+ Blood,

ye have no Life in you.

John 6:53

You have no life in you.

Just being born, you are born through the first Adam. You have the first Adam's ruined nature, which is to serve Self.  You will receive LIES in order to serve Self, like Adam did, like Eve did: you cannot help it, you will.

You will tell lies and blame others, like Adam did, like Eve did.

You will pursue fantasies and illusions all of your life, trying to fill yourself with Life... but they will all be lies. 

You MUST be born into the Second Adam, if you want Life.

Through CHRIST, the Second Adam, you must be re-born in order to partake of the Body and Blood of CHRIST. This is a great mystery.  The Bread and Wine are infused by the HOLY SPIRIT and thus sanctified.

You cannot lie to HIM+... HE+ knows what you eat and drink. Like the time that woman in the crowd who touched HIM+ in faith and virtue went out of HIM+ , 

HE+ knew. 

Yes, HE+ stopped immediately to talk to the one in all that crowd who had reached out to HIM+. 

HE+ knew.

You have NO CHOICE... if you want Eternal LIFE. 

.

If you refuse to choose Eternal Llife, then know this: you ARE choosing a constant eternal death that goes on and on in the Lake of Fire.  It, too, never ceases ...   just like Eternity with CHRIST never ends. 

.

Do not be tricked by satan who tricked Eve.

Do not be tricked by satan who tricked Adam. 

Do not be tricked by the same lies to serve Self.

Yes, your existence will not cease in death.  You will indeed be called to Judgment Day to find out that your worm dieth not and the fire is not quenched in the Lake of Fire...  forever. 

Just like

The LORD JESUS

said.
