https://lesfeldickbiblestudy.com Through the Bible with Les Feldick LESSON 2 * PART 2 * BOOK 74 CONNECTING THE DOTS OF SCRIPTURE – PART 6 Genesis through Revelation Okay, it’s good to see everybody back. You’ve had your coffee, and again we want to welcome our television audience and say thank you, thank you, thank you. Oh, I just can’t thank you enough for your prayers and your letters of encouragement and then, above everything else, your financial help. After all, television is expensive, and I will not run up a bill. If we can’t pay for the time, then we have to drop the station. So far we haven’t had to. It just keeps coming in. And we just thank you from the depths of our heart, because even through the summer when a lot of ministries have a hard time, we haven’t had any drop at all. So again, we just know it’s a God-thing, and we just praise Him for it. Okay, we’re going to keep right on with our line of the coming Earthly Kingdom. For this series of programs, we’re going to be looking at the physical attributes of this Kingdom and hopefully help people see that this Kingdom is going to be right here on this planet earth, although God is going to renovate the earth first. The whole planet is going to be renovated and made like the Garden of Eden, and, as we pointed out at the beginning of our last program, even the animal kingdom will revert back to the behavior that it had before the Fall. In other words, nothing killed something else for food. There was no death. And it’s going to go back to that. All right, now we’re going to continue on up through the Book of Isaiah, and we’re going to start in Isaiah chapter 34 verse 1. The reason I’m doing this is to show you that the Kingdom will immediately follow the horrors of the Tribulation, which ends, of course, with the Battle of Armageddon. That’s why I’m going to start here with chapter 34; it’s just an introduction to the Kingdom described in 35. Isaiah 34 and we’re going to start at verse 1. Now remember what we’re doing. We’re going back to see what’s going to take place just before Christ returns and sets up His Kingdom. Isaiah 34:1 “Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken; ye people: let the earth hear, and all that is therein; the world, and all things that come forth of it. For the indignation (or the wrath, the vexation) of the LORD is upon all nations, and his fury upon all their armies: he hath utterly destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the slaughter.” Now we have done this before. You’ve got to realize that those final months of the seven years are going to be beyond human description. The Lord Himself said it in Matthew 24:21 – “For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.” So, don’t ever think for a minute that this is just a stretch of a prophet’s imagination. This is the Holy Spirit inspired account of those coming days. Isaiah 34:3-4a “Their slain (in other words, the dead) also shall be cast out and their stink (or their odor) shall come up out of their carcasses, and the mountains shall be melted with their blood. 4. And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll:…” Revelation says the same thing. All right, verse 5. Isaiah 34:5 “For my sword shall be bathed in heaven; behold, it shall come down upon Idumea, and upon the people of my curse, (Which, of course, is the whole human race.) to judgment.” Now, let’s skip some of these, because it’s just a graphic description of the horrors that are going to take place at the Second Coming. Now, I wasn’t intending to do this, but again, I have to whenever I get the chance. You know, there is such scorn lately of the Rapture. I think we’re under attack more than has ever been in the last 2,000 years. Where people are almost getting hateful of our teaching of a sudden disappearance of the believers. And when they try to write letters of argument, and I’ve mentioned this before, the only Scriptures they use are all those pertaining to the Second Coming; which, of course, are the four Gospels and Revelation and the Old Testament. They utterly ignore Paul’s Epistles, and that’s where the Rapture is. And see, this is another thing they can’t get through their heads—that the references to the Second Coming are all like this—the horrors and the death and the destruction that’s going to take place on planet Earth leading up to Christ’s Second Coming. Paul never speaks of those kinds of things. And I think I did it in the last taping. All Paul speaks of leading up to the Rapture is a social breakdown. II Timothy chapter 3 starting with verse 1, “…in the last days perilous times shall come. 2. For men shall be lovers of themselves… 4. …more than lovers of God.” #LesFeldick #BibleStudy #Bible
