Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15 v 51 - 52: "Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed."
1 Thessalonians 4 v 16 - 17: "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord."
There is a mystery about this event because nobody except the Father knows when it will happen. Not even Jesus knows the exact day. He said we would know the season, not if its Spring or Winter, but the abundance of signs He told us about in Matthew 24.
Suddenly, without warning, the Body of Christ will vanish off this planet. Cars, planes, trains, ships, boardrooms, hospitals, governments, homes will lose sight forever of people who just a split second before were alive and visible. All that's left is a pile of clothes and a mystery. And them.
In the twinkling of an eye, less than a blink in time, Christians will be gone. The born again believers will not be dead, just gone. In fact the dead in Christ will rise first then those still alive will join them in the glory of the Resurrection power of Jesus.
He is coming! Only the mockers and scoffers doubt it, the unbelievers and the backsliders rejected it and will be bewildered by it. Or shocked! Because they that once knew Him are left behind.
He is Jesus, the Head of His body, which is made up of the true believers. He wants to join His Body to His head in the heavens or sky above Earth. He wants to be complete so that He can make a glorious return to Earth. His Body that was broken not on the Cross but before the foundation of the world.
Revelation 13 v 7 - 9: "And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
9 If any man have an ear, let him hear."
I hope you all have a wide open spiritual ear to hear the astonishing revelation the Lord gave me over 5 years nearly 50 years ago.
In the very beginning, before Genesis and Eden, there were serious reasons why a home away from home in Heaven had to be created for humans. Consider the question, why are we here on this planet light years away from any other place that's possibly able to sustain life?
Why did the first created humans in Eden rebel against a wonderful God who gave them the perfect home?
What did Satan do before Genesis that caused him to be permanently expelled from Heaven? What did Jesus do to outwit him?
1. Satan ruined the wedding of God's Son to His lovely Bride by seducing her, pretending to be Him, and when war broke out in Heaven because of this, he kidnapped her and held her hostage for ransom. He demanded her Bridegroom to be the Ransom for her.
2. Jesus was the Ransom. 1 Timothy 2 v 4 - 6: "Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time."
While still in Heaven God's Son said, I AM going. Moses heard Him and his ears were wide open when the voice out of the Burning Bush said I Am THAT I am! Got it Moses? Absolutely, let's go do this exodus!
3. If Jesus is the Head and the Church is His Body, who is the Bride? The Head and Body make the Bridegroom. John 3 v 28 - 29: "Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.
29 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled." John the Baptist, whom Jesus said was also Elijah (Elias) back in the Old Testament, the greatest prophet! Both Moses and Elijah were with Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration in Matthew 17.
4. Why did Israel reject Jesus? When Satan kidnapped the Bride he brainwashed her to reject Jesus and be his bride. He was her true husband and Jesus was the imposter who must be destroyed. Jesus has tried in every way to sort her memories of what happened before the foundation of the world.
Ecclesiastes 1 v 10 - 11: "Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.
11 There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after."
5 When Jesus came as a ransom for her, He put on her blood stained wedding garments, i.e. He took her sin upon Himself. Zechariah 3 v 1 - 3: "And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him.
2 And the LORD said unto Satan, The LORD rebuke thee, O Satan; even the LORD that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?
3 Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel."
Joshua is the Hebrew name for Jesus and these above events occurred before the foundation of the world.
These are the events that must be testified in due time concerning Jesus who is the Ransom. His bride was a hostage. We are seeing a manifestation of this revealed in Israel and Gaza right now. Everything that happened in that realm of the Spirit has been made manifest on this Earth starting with the creation and Eden. Israel is still a hostage to this day.
Isaiah 14 v 12 -17: "How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;
17 That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?"
These are the Ransom demands made by Satan plus the response of God and the rebuke that he did not open the prison house of the Bride when the Ransom of Jesus was paid. He was so jealous of God's Son that he thought he could manipulate the Father.
When Jesus came from Heaven as a ransom for His Bride she mocked Him and rejected Him screaming Off with His Head! Satan was only too happy to do it. Instead of sending the Bride back home to Heaven, only the head of Jesus arrived. The dead Body was blown to pieces as if a bomb exploded inside it. The Father said let not one of the fragments of His body be lost. Gather them into containers. There were seven containers. (This corresponds to the 7 churches in Revelation 2 and 3.)
Each fragment God called a soul. So badly damaged because the wages of sin is death. Jesus took on her sin to justify her and release her from death. The explosion had shattered her and Satan as well. Her fragments filled 12 containers. Only their heads remained. Satan's shattered form produced only demons that would have no fleshly body. They were intermingled with the fragments of the Bridegroom and His Bride. (12 containers = 12 tribes).
Our souls and dead spirits had to be brought to life to discover what physical, spiritual, emotional and mental damage needed to be healed for their two bodies to be made whole again. He found out in Eden that it was very bad and by the time Lot and Noah lived He regretted that He had made man at all. The infestation of demons in them beyond unacceptable and He needed to wipe them all out and start over. All the fragments had been mixed together and God needed to sort out the Bride from His Son. Her own land, covenants, laws, discipline were imperative.
Jesus had to manifest in the flesh, pure, sinless and without demonic oppression. He came to die so He could remove death from His Body and His Bride, even though He knew she would have Him killed. Satan wanted Him gone for good. God had a better, secret plan.
After His resurrection and ascension the next verses of Zechariah 3 v 4 - 5: "And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment.
5 And I said, Let them set a fair mitre upon his head. So they set a fair mitre upon his head, and clothed him with garments. And the angel of the LORD stood by."
His filthy bloodstained garments were removed before He was crucified. At the last supper before His arrest when He instituted Holy Communion He said "This is My Body which was broken for you!". He was referring to the time before Eden. Trying to stir the memories of the Jews seated around Him. As He is doing now with the hostage drama in Israel because SHE is His Bride. Long after the Rapture when His Body is joined to His Head, the Spirit and the Bride say "Come Lord Jesus!" Words He has longed to hear throughout the ages.
So we need to know who we are in the above scenario. One of the most amazing verses is in Romans 7 v 2 - 3: "For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.
3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man."
Throughout the Old Testament Israel was rebuked as an adulteress. Because she was now married to Satan. He took her sin of adultery upon Himself but to set her free completely He had to die so that His Bride was no longer an adulteress. It is finished He shouted! She is free! She will know soon that the imposter is Satan. She will be free of him too. What a glorious day to honour Our Father and His perfect Son.
We cannot wait for all this to be ended soon. For the Rapture to happen in the Twinkling of an eye.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, Thank You for revealing the mystery about the Bride of Christ and that we are stuck here till everything is sorted to Your satisfaction. We pray for those hostages still alive to be sustained and released soon. Jesus is a mighty Ransom who outwitted Satan. Hallelujah to Our King. In Jesus' name. Amen.
