This . . .
As I attempt to blog thru the week while leading the "Omega Course" on the weekends, I will not be able to give scripture references for every statement. For sure, I have not even looked them all up myself - I am learning as I go. So . . . my purpose here is to hit the highlights and encourage individual study. I will do the best I can, but this is in no way intended to be a complete presentation and understand, I have way more questions than answers.
.
Today - Positive trends in the last days.
.
That . . .
Acts
17 ‘ And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams.
18 And on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days; And they shall prophesy.
19 I will show wonders in heaven above And signs in the earth beneath: Blood and fire and vapor of smoke.
20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the LORD.
21 And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.
.
What an encouraging passage of scripture . . . full of promises of positive intervention in lives of believers in the last days. The greatest revival and outpouring of the Spirit in history will result in a victorious church full of God's glory.
.
There will be a great ingathering of souls. (Possibly 1 billion)
.
The salvation of Israel will occur as the church provokes Israel to jealousy by standing with them in affliction and operating in the power of God.
.
The worship and prayer movement will operate in great authority.
.
There will be supernatural provision of food and water.
.
There will be supernatural direction and protection (pockets of mercy) by prophetic revelation as the Lord directs his people to safety . . . to be at the right place to escape earthquakes, bombs, the ambush of the enemy, etc.
The Goshen principal . . . cities of refuge . . . area's where God's people are protected from God's judgements.
.
This is That . . ..
.
More positive trends . . .
.

Jesus will physically appear in the sky to all the people of the earth when He returns to permanenty live on the earth. The rapture of the Church occcurs as Jesus "catches up" all believers in the air from one end of the sky to the other. Jesus will sit on a Throne as king and rule over all other kings as He establishes His Kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.
.
The marriage supper of the lamb occurs in context to Jesus' coming.
.
The first descent of the New Jerusalem to earth also occurs at this time.
.
Jesus will rule the world from Jerusalem in perfect righteousness and continual peace as he restores it to the conditions of the Garden of Eden.
