1 Thessalonians 4:15-18

   For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.  For the Lord Himself will 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:  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.  Wherefore comfort one another with these words.     

​​​​​​​2 Timothy 4:7-8
For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing

Re: SOME THOUGHTS ABOUT HANUKKAH. - email from Michelle

since Hanukkah begins in a few days, it would be wonderful... yet now I'm believing that any day, even today the Lord could call for the church-1Thes 4:13-18. We will only know in hindsight the day He calls us to meet Him. That will happen so fast when He calls us, we won't have time to consider significance of the day, we will be so glad and so freed in new bodies, in the twinkling of an eye. Valerie & Kathy & Tammy & all, in the past, I used to think the timing of the rapture was tied to Jewish festival days. I don't think that any more. The bible gives very specific information regarding what the Jewish people and the city of Jerusalem can expect to occur-Daniel 9:24 (and in Daniel about the 70 weeks through Dan 12, and Jesus talking about the tribulation days before He returns to rule in Matt 24 and in other prophecies). However, the church was a mystery revealed after the resurrection, empowered at Pentecost by the Holy Spirit in a way that even the disciples did not understand when Jesus was walking among them before the cross. Paul reveals the mystery of the rapture, years after Pentecost- about AD 52-54 1Thess was written, and about AD 54-55 1Cor was written. The Lord may call us on a day like Michelle is saying, certainly the day Jesus was conceived was a very special day for God and for Jesus also, but if we are not called to heaven then, it does not mean that our wait or hope is delayed another year or years. Since the coming of the church was a mystery in the days Jesus was teaching the disciples in person, we don't read in the gospel accounts Jesus saying that when the church is empowered by the Holy Spirit for the church to expect certain things to happen and then a rapture will occur. I am not very skilled at concise writing, but all that to say keep hope every day, because the timing of the church meeting Jesus when He calls us to Himself is a mystery...
we are a "new man" in Christ, not under the law, not tied to the law but under our saviour and head, Jesus Eph 2:14-16
something Michelle said brought to mind the garden of Eden, Genesis 2 and 3

In the New Testament we see Jesus attending the Feast of Dedication (John 10:22 ff) just 4 months before His Crucifixion.
The context of this is immediately after Jesus gave the teaching about Himself as the Good Shepherd and contrasted himself with the false shepherd - the thief- who does not care for the sheep but seeks to steal, kill and destroy..Jesus is here describing the Antichrist.that will come in his place.


When satan came as a serpent to tempt Eve to disobey and eat from the tree that God warned Adam not to eat from, satan was being a false shepherd. He was leading Eve and Adam to disobey, thus stealing from them administrative right over God's creation, bringing death and destruction upon humanity ever since.
When Jesus came, conceived in Mary, God sent a good shepherd to mankind to restore life, restore righteousness to us through faith in Jesus and instead of perpetual destructions, to provide all who believe in Jesus an inheritance that is incorruptible
