Remembering ~ ~ Jesus' disciples were not specifically told about our Lord instituting His 'church' . . much less that this age of Grace would last 2,000 years . . Hence, Jesus transformed Saul into Paul as the needed witness of 'explaining' the rapture ~ ~ only Jesus knew the value of HOW His second coming would involve 2 'comings' .. and after '2 days' ~ surely we ARE seeing the beginning of sorrows KNOWING that when we BEGIN to see all these things, we are admonished to look up ~ ~ what a season we are in ~ Hosea 6:2 New King James Version (NKJV) I feel revived! TR also when Joshua led the children of Israel over the Jordan, there was a space of about 2000 cubits between the ark and the people crossing. its been a space of about 2000 years since Jesus went ahead into heaven. Joshua 3:1-5 New King James Version (NKJV) 5 And Joshua said to the people, “Sanctify yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you.” When God sends the 144,000 and 2 witnesses among the Jews, they will hear and see wonders! Me too. Now, I'd like to be raised up (in the air) so that I might live in His sight. 😉 For two thousand years we and the world have seen His wonders. I wonder if people in Hell will continue to see His wonders?! Though absent from His presence they may still see the love they lost! TR The Sun showed up on day 4 of creation and God's Son showed up on the year 4000 And the THIRD day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: John 2:1 Wow, very interesting! I immediately though of this verse ... 2 Peter 3:8 Indeed a marriage on the third day. We will be raised on the third day. His first miracle took place on that third day. He gave us a promise of He being raised on the third day! TR
2 After two days He will revive us;
On the third day He will raise us up,
That we may live in His sight.
Israel Crosses the Jordan
3 Then Joshua rose early in the morning; and they set out from Acacia Grove and came to the Jordan, he and all the children of Israel, and lodged there before they crossed over. 2 So it was, after three days, that the officers went through the camp; 3 and they commanded the people, saying, “When you see the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, and the priests, the Levites, bearing it, then you shall set out from your place and go after it. 4 Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure. Do not come near it, that you may know the way by which you must go, for you have not passed this way before.”
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
