 JESUS IS COMING SOON KNOW HIM MORE and MAKE HIM KNOWN ..be ready all the time, for the Son of Man will come when least expected. Matt 24:4-44(NLT) The end ...is coming soon. Therefore, be earnest and disciplined in your prayers. I Pet 4:7 (NLT)
This page is created "for He wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth" 1 Timothy 2:4 . We, who are Christ Ambassadors , have a set of Rules and Regulations, Policies and Procedures, Manuals and Guides, Protocols and Practices, Paths and Walks, Duties and Responsibilities, Values and Beliefs, all as part of the whole bundle of Christian Life and Death here. As we eagerly watch for His coming, let's get the Word in our hearts so that we may be conviced of our purpose in life. As we read more, more understanding we will get. As we have more understanding of what Jesus wants us to be, we become Vctorious ( Revelation 2:26, NLT).
Be Sober (..have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. Phil. 2:5, NLT): 5. For you are all children of light, children of the day. We are not of the night or of the darkness. 6. So then let us not sleep, as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober. 7. For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, are drunk at night. 8. But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation. 9. For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, 10. who died for us so that whether we are awake or asleep we might live with him. 11. Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing. 1 Thess 5:5-11 (ESV)
Keep Watch (If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief.. Rev. 3:3) 4. Jesus told them, “Don’t let anyone mislead you, 5. for many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah.’ They will deceive many. 6. And you will hear of wars and threats of wars, but don’t panic. Yes, these things must take place, but the end won’t follow immediately. 7. Nation will go to war against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in many parts of the world. 8. But all this is only the first of the birth pains, with more to come. 9. “Then you will be arrested, persecuted, and killed. You will be hated all over the world because you are my followers. 10. And many will turn away from me and betray and hate each other. 11. And many false prophets will appear and will deceive many people. 12. Sin will be rampant everywhere, and the love of many will grow cold. 13. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. 14. And the Good News about the Kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world, so that all nations will hear it; and then the end will come. 15. “The day is coming when you will see what Daniel the prophet spoke about—the sacrilegious object that causes desecration standing in the Holy Place.” (Reader, pay attention!) 16. “Then those in Judea must flee to the hills. 17. A person out on the deck of a roof must not go down into the house to pack. 18. A person out in the field must not return even to get a coat. 19. How terrible it will be for pregnant women and for nursing mothers in those days. 20. And pray that your flight will not be in winter or on the Sabbath. 21. For there will be greater anguish than at any time since the world began. And it will never be so great again. 22. In fact, unless that time of calamity is shortened, not a single person will survive. But it will be shortened for the sake of God’s chosen ones. 23. “Then if anyone tells you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah,’ or ‘There he is,’ don’t believe it. 24. For false messiahs and false prophets will rise up and perform great signs and wonders so as to deceive, if possible, even God’s chosen ones. 25. See, I have warned you about this ahead of time. 26. “So if someone tells you, ‘Look, the Messiah is out in there in the desert,’ don’t bother to go and look. Or, ‘Look, he is hiding here,’ don’t believe it! 27. For as the lightning flashes in the east and shines to the west, so it will be when the Son of Man comes. 28. Just as the gathering of vultures shows there is a carcass nearby, so these signs indicate that the end is near. 29. “Immediately after the anguish of those days, the sun will be darkened, the moon will give no light,the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken. 30. And then at last, the sign that the Son of Man is coming will appear in the heavens, and there will be deep mourning among all the peoples of the earth. And they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31. And he will send out his angels with the mighty blast of a trumpet, and they will gather his chosen ones from all over the world—from the farthest ends of the earth and heaven. 32. “Now learn a lesson from the fig tree. When its branches bud and its leaves begin to sprout, you know that summer is near. 33. In the same way, when you see all these things, you can know his return is very near, right at the door. 34. I tell you the truth, this generation will not pass from the scene until all these things take place. 35. Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will never disappear. 36. “However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself. Only the Father knows. 37. “When the Son of Man returns, it will be like it was in Noah’s day. 38. In those days before the flood, the people were enjoying banquets and parties and weddings right up to the time Noah entered his boat. 39. People didn’t realize what was going to happen until the flood came and swept them all away. That is the way it will be when the Son of Man comes. 40. “Two men will be working together in the field; one will be taken, the other left. 41. Two women will be grinding flour at the mill; one will be taken, the other left. 42. “So you, too, must keep watch! For you don’t know what day your Lord is coming. 43. Understand this: If a homeowner knew exactly when a burglar was coming, he would keep watch and not permit his house to be broken into. 44. You also must be ready all the time, for the Son of Man will come when least expected.Matt 24:4-44 (NLT)
Straighten Up (..listen..obey .., for the time is near. Rev 1:3, NLT): 25. "And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth distress of nations in perplexity because of the roaring of the sea and the waves, 26. people fainting with fear, and with foreboding of what is coming on the world. For the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 27. And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28. Now when these things begin to take place, straighten up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near."Luke 21:25-28 (ESV)
13. But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do, who have no hope. 14. For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep. 15. For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16. For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. 1 Thess 4:13-17 (ESV)
- For when the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage. In this respect they will be like the angels in heaven. Matt 22:30 (NLT)
6. And I saw another angel flying through the sky, carrying the eternal Good News to proclaim to the people who belong to this world—to every nation, tribe, language, and people. 7 “Fear God,” he shouted. “Give glory to him. For the time has come when he will sit as judge. Worship him who made the heavens, the earth, the sea, and all the springs of water.” Rev 14:6-7 (NLT)
- Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding in his hand the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain.
And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, and threw him into the pit, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he might not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be released for a little while. Rev 20:1-3 (ESV)
Rejoice (..he will give life..by ..Spirit living within you. Rom 8:11,NLT). 4. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years (this is the first resurrection) 5. The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended. This is the first resurrection. 6. Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! Over such the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him for a thousand years. Rev 20:4-6 (ESV)
Believe (..we will also be raised to life as he was. Romans 6:5,NLT): 21. For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom he will. 22. The Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son, 23. that all may honor the Son, just as they honor the Father.Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him. 24. Truly, truly, I say to you,whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life. 25. "Truly, truly, I say to you,an hour is coming, and is now here, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live. 26. For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself. 27. And he has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man. 28. Do not marvel at this, for an hour is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice 29. and come out, those who have done good - to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil - to the resurrection of judgment. John 5:21-29 (ESV)
Do Good (...eternal life to those who keep on doing good. Rom 2:7, NLT) 11. And I saw a great white throne and the one sitting on it. The earth and sky fled from his presence, but they found no place to hide. 12. I saw the dead, both great and small, standing before God’s throne. And the books were opened, including the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to what they had done, as recorded in the books. 13. The sea gave up its dead, and death and the grave gave up their dead. And all were judged according to their deeds. 14. Then death and the grave were thrown into the lake of fire. This lake of fire is the second death. 15. And anyone whose name was not found recorded in the Book of Life was thrown into the lake of fire. Rev 20:11-15 (NLT)
For we must all stand before Christ to be judged. We will each receive whatever we deserve for the good or evil we have done in this earthly body. 2 Cor 5:10 (NLT)
21. the Son gives life to anyone he wants. 22. In addition, the Father judges no one.Instead, he has given the Son absolute authority to judge, 23. so that everyone will honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. Anyone who does not honor the Son is certainly not honoring the Father who sent him. 24. “I tell you the truth, those who listen to my message and believe in God who sent me have eternal life. They will never be condemned for their sins, but they have already passed from death into life. 25. “And I assure you that the time is coming, indeed it’s here now, when the dead will hear my voice—the voice of the Son of God. And those who listen will live. 26. The Father has life in himself, and he has granted that same life-giving power to his Son. 27. And he has given him authority to judge everyone because he is the Son of Man. 28. Don’t be so surprised! Indeed, the time is coming when all the dead in their graves will hear the voice of God’s Son, 29. and they will rise again. Those who have done good will rise to experience eternal life, and those who have continued in evil will rise to experience judgment. 30. I can do nothing on my own. I judge as God tells me. Therefore, my judgment is just, because I carry out the will of the one who sent me, not my own will. John 5:21-30 (NLT)
51. But let me reveal to you a wonderful secret. We will not all die, but we will all be transformed! 52. It will happen in a moment, in the blink of an eye, when the last trumpet is blown. For when the trumpet sounds, those who have died will be raised to live forever. And we who are living will also be transformed. 53. For our dying bodies must be transformed into bodies that will never die; our mortal bodies must be transformed into immortal bodies. 1 Cor 15:51-53 (NLT)
Praise “Praise our God, all his servants, all who fear him, from the least to the greatest.” Rev 19:5, NLT) 38. But God gives it a body as he has chosen, and to each kind of seed, its own body. 39. For not all flesh is the same, but there is one kind for humans, another for animals, another for birds, and another for fish. 40. There are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly is of one kind, and the glory of the earthly is of another. 41. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for star differs from star in glory. 42. So is it with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable; what is raised is imperishable. 43. It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power. 44. It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. 45. Thus it is written, "The first man Adam became a living being"; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit. 46. But it is not the spiritual that is first but the natural, and then the spiritual. 47. The first man was from the earth, a man of dust; the second man is from heaven. 48. As was the man of dust, so also are those who are of the dust, and as is the man of heaven, so also are those who are of heaven. 49. Just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the man of heaven. 1 Cor 15:38-49 (ESV)
31. “But when the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit upon his glorious throne. 32. All the nations will be gathered in his presence, and he will separate the people as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33. He will place the sheep at his right hand and the goats at his left. 34. “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the creation of the world. 35. For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. 36. I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.’ 37. “Then these righteous ones will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38. Or a stranger and show you hospitality? Or naked and give you clothing? 39. When did we ever see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ 40. “And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these MY brothers and sisters,you were doing it to me!’ 41. “Then the King will turn to those on the left and say, ‘Away with you, you cursed ones, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his demons. 42. For I was hungry, and you didn’t feed me. I was thirsty, and you didn’t give me a drink. 43. I was a stranger, and you didn’t invite me into your home. I was naked, and you didn’t give me clothing. I was sick and in prison, and you didn’t visit me.’ 44. “Then they will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and not help you?’ 45. “And he will answer, ‘I tell you the truth, when you refused to help the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were refusing to help me.’ 46. “And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous will go into eternal life.” Matt 25:31-46 (NLT)
To the one who conquers I will grant to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God. Rev 2:7 (ESV) - Be faithfulunto death, and I will give you the crown of life. Rev 2:10 (ESV)
The one who conquers will not be hurt by the second death. Rev 2:11 (ESV)
To the one who conquers I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, with a new name written on the stone that no one knows except the one who receives it. Rev 2:17 (ESV)
The one who conquers and who keeps my works until the end, to him I will give authority over the nations. and he will rule them with a rod of iron, as when earthen pots are broken in pieces, even as I myself have received authority from my Father. And I will give him the morning star. Rev 2:26-28 (ESV)
The one who conquers will be clothed thus in white garments, and I will never blot his name out of the book of life. I will confess his name before my Father and before his angels. Rev 3:5 (ESV)
The one who conquers, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God. Never shall he go out of it, and 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 from my God out of heaven, and my own new name. Rev 3:12 (ESV)
Behold, I stand at the door and knock.If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.
The one who conquers, I will grant him to sit with me on my throne, as I also conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne. Rev 3:20-21 (ESV)
"if you want to receive eternal life, keep the commandments.” Matthew 19:17 (NLT)
Jesus said, "Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes Him who sent me has eternal life; he does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life". John 5:24 (NLT)
“Look, I will come as unexpectedly as a thief! Blessed are all who are watching for me, who keep their clothing ready so they will not have to walk around naked and ashamed.” Rev 16:15 (NLT)
