71 - Les Feldick Bible Study Lesson 3 - Part 3 - Book 6 - Rapture

https://lesfeldickbiblestudy.com LESSON 3 * PART 3 * BOOK 6 RAPTURE: TRIBULATION: SECOND COMING: MILLENNIUM Daniel 9 & Genesis 25-26 The last lesson we saw the return of Christ in glory - the "...KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS." Zechariah 14:1-4a For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle;..." Mainly to obliterate the Nation of Israel. "Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle." That is such a graphic description that there's no mistaking that it is the literal Mount of Olives in literal Jerusalem. Verse 4: Is Jesus going to restore the kingdom once again to Israel? Matthew 19:27,28 Read on in that verse: "ye also (the Twelve, and not Judas that's why Matthias has to take his place in Acts Chapter 1) shall sit upon twelve thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. It's just plain English. These twelve men, when the Kingdom is set up, will rule the 12 tribes of Israel. So now verse 7: Acts 1:7 On the Mount of Olives. Zechariah 14:4 Before we turn away from Zechariah, read verse 8: Zechariah 14:8,9 all the earth.(!)" Not Heaven! The Nation of Israel will finally enjoy everything that was promised to Abraham back there in Genesis 15. Verse 9 continuing "...in that day, there shall be one LORD, and his name one." He's going to be "...KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS," over this physical, literal, earthly kingdom. Now, if you'll come back to Isaiah 66 Verse 7: Isaiah 66:7,8 "Before she travailed (speaking of delivery) she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child (the man child always refers to Christ, The Lord Jesus). Well now, when the Nation of Israel, which is all that's really left here in this remnant who fled in the middle of the Tribulation, when they see the returning Christ coming as King of Kings and Lord of Lords, that's when this Nation of Israel will experience her Salvation. Zechariah 13:6 Turn back to: Zechariah 12:10 The nation will be born in a day. Now, I say the head nation. All right, what about Gentiles? The Lord returns, smites the nations that have gathered around Jerusalem; the earth will suddenly be renovated like the Garden of Eden. The Nation of Israel is saved in a day. Because, after all, The Bible is a Book of nations. And it never stops being a Book of nations. The last chapter in the Book of Isaiah, which takes us into eternity, is still dealing with nations: Isaiah 24:1-6 "Behold the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof. The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD has spoken this word. The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish." Survivors. From every tongue, tribe, and nation there will be a small percentage of survivors. The earth is now populated with nearly 6 billion people. If you take 10% of 6 billion people, how many are still left? You want to remember that during the seven years of Tribulation those 144,000 Jews were preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom. Matthew 25:31-40 Remember, we are dealing with an eternal God, in an eternal situation, and nothing is impossible. With the sheep representing the believers on the right, and goats representing the unbelievers on the left. "Then shall the King (see it's capitalized) say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom (do you see that?) Matthew 25:35-38,40 "For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink; I was a stranger, and you took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, 'Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?'" "When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? And the King (CHRIST) shall say unto them, 'Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." The 144,000 Jews who were preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom, during the seven years of Tribulation. Matthew 25:41-46 "Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not." Except a man be born above, or born again, he cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven. To make a short picture of it, since you've got this large group of Jews, going up to be the Nation of Israel in the kingdom, you've also got a small smattering of Gentiles. Christ is The King of Kings and Lord of Lords. #LesFeldick #BibleStudy #Bible
