5:7 (James 5:7) Because of this, be patient, brethren, awaiting the coming of the Lord.Observe how the farmer patiently awaits the valuable fruit of the land, which he will not obtain until he receives both the early and late rains, as shown in this illustration.(8) Be patient, and strengthen your hearts, since the day of the Lord is drawing near.1 Thessalonians 3:13 is a biblical passage.

1. Up to and including the point that he may establish your hearts blameless in purity before God, even before our Father, at the return of our Lord Jesus Christ and all of the saints.
2. The day of judgment will not come upon you like a thief if you are awake and aware of what is going on.
3. (5) You are all children of light, and you are all children of the day: we are not children of the night, nor are we children of the darkness.

In fact, Jesus explicitly refutes it in the following passages: John 3:13, John 8:21-23, John 7:34, and Rev 5:10.After all, why not be aware of, and look forward to, the wonderful rewards God has promised to those who love Him?Truth and Dan57 think this is a good idea.

Neither does 1 Thessalonians 5:4-6 mention the possibility of a rapture removal.The doctrine of the rapture is not based on Scripture; rather, it is a false teaching that leaves those who accept it in the dark about the end of the world.

What was it that you were chosen for?What we are called to do is to be God’s witnesses and to bring His Light to the world.And believing that you can get away from your duties is wicked, plain and simple!Regarding the prophesy of 1 Thess 4:17, it is just a means of transportation from wherever we are to wherever Jesus is.

1. Nothing in your quotations implies that Christians will enter the kingdom of heaven.
2. And obtaining eternity before the Day of Judgment is a really poor teaching.

The reason Jesus stated this is because he was speaking to individuals from the house of Israel who were to die in their sins and be raised up with Christ, as well as to those who had been born again by the spirit of God and would not die.The most recent edit was made on August 21, 2017.

When are you planning to return?The very first words that came out of his lips It is important to remember that no man can deceive you.They will hand you up to be tormented and then murder you, and you will be despised throughout the world because of my name.According to what you’re saying, you’re not going anywhere.

1. Because then there will be tremendous tribulation like there has never been since the beginning of time, and there will never be like it again.
2. And unless those days are shortened, no flesh will be saved; but, those days will be shortened for the sake of the Elect’s sake.
3. Who exactly are these ″Elect″ that he talks of?

They certainly aren’t going away, and it appears that they will be present to confront the Wrath of God.The fact that God’s word is distorted to match what Man wants it to be, rather than believing what He tells us, is a great sorrow.God was well aware of the impending Rapture, which is why he told us in Ezekiel 13:20 how He felt about the whole situation.Is it better to believe in GOD or to believe in man?

4But, dear brothers and sisters, you are not in the dark about these things, and you will not be astonished when the day of the Lord arrives as a thief.5For you are all children of the light and of the day; we are not of the darkness or of the night, as you believe.6Be on the lookout and don’t fall asleep like the others.Maintain your alertness and clarity of thought.

1. The period of day when people sleep and drinkers become inebriated is called the night.
2. Let us who live in the light, however, maintain our composure, fortifying ourselves with the armor of faith and love, and putting on the assurance of our salvation as our helmet.
3. 9For God decided to redeem us by the sacrifice of his Son, Jesus Christ, rather than pour out his wrath on us.

10Whether we are dead or alive at the time of Christ’s return, he died for us so that we may have eternal life with him.11Therefore, encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing now.

″To Those Who Look for Him″

Distractions and entanglements are commonplace.As Jesus says in Luke 12:35, ″Gird your waists, light your lamps, and prepare yourselves to be like men who are waiting for their master when he returns from the wedding, so that when he comes and knocks, they may open to him immediately.″ ″Be like men who are waiting for their master when he returns from the wedding,″ he says.″But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and the cares of this life, and that Day come upon you unexpectedly.″ Luke 21:34 ″But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and the cares of this life, and that Day come upon you unexpectedly.″ Before Jesus went, he entrusted us with the task of carrying it out.Our Master has not yet returned from his journey.It is not yet time to take it easy (loosen your belt).Many Christians put HIS work aside in order to pursue THEIR own projects.

Many people are preoccupied with acquiring and maintaining goods and relationships, completely ignorant to the fact that their jug of additional oil has run out!It’s essential that our lighting are lit.This necessitates the ″hassle″ of transporting an extra jug of oil.Only by sitting at Jesus’ feet will you be able to fill that jug.

1. The desire of money, pleasures, and prestige from men makes sitting at Jesus’ feet look at the very least inconvenient and at the very worst useless in our modern culture.
2. If we don’t brutally remove items from our lives that compete for our attention, the Good Seed will be strangled to death.
3. How are you and I doing these days?

How many hours do you spend in front of a screen on a daily basis?Is it more important that I am purposeful in my social interactions, or that I am just blowing the breeze?Each day, how many hours of Bible reading/study and prayer do I devote to my spiritual development?For what purpose are you and I sharing the moments of our life with one another.The expectation for His promised return is heightened when we dutifully carry out what we know the Master has asked us to accomplish.

Selecting a location for your investment should be done with caution.In the words of Jesus: ″Where your wealth is, there will also be your heart.″ The Lord Jesus Christ reminded us to ″remember Lot’s wife″ while preaching about His coming.The city of Sodom included all of her amassed fortune, as well as her lovely home and the majority of her family.It was God himself who gave the orders: ″Run to the mountain and don’t look back!″ She took a single backward glance and instantaneously transformed into a statue of salt!Her heart was still in Sodom, and her one act of disobedience indicated where her true heart truly belonged: in the city of kings.

For those who have placed their treasure in Heaven, the Trumpet call will be a joyful last summons for them to catch up to where their hearts have already gone.In the case that your treasure is on earth, the Trumpet blow will be an inconvenient interruption, similar to how Lot’s wife felt when escaping Sodom.However, others could argue that it’s hard to blame Lot’s wife for turning around after she abandoned some of her children (and grandchildren?) in Sodom and returned to her husband.

Isn’t it reasonable for her to be worried about the well-being of her family members?″If anybody comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, brothers and sisters, and yes, his own life, he cannot be My disciple,″ Jesus declared emphatically (Luke 14:26).Where have all of our riches gone?Our hearts are kept somewhere, no matter where they are.And when the Trumpet sounds, it will be crystal evident as to where our hearts are at!

1. Don’t take it personally.
2. The biblical phrase ″offend″ refers to the act of causing someone to stumble, with the intention of their giving up or turning around.
3. ″You will be despised by all nations for the sake of My name,″ Jesus declared while describing the latter days.

• Afterwards, many people will be upset, many people will betray one another, and many people will despise one another.″ According to Matthew 10:21, members of one’s own family will betray and kill members of another’s family!
• It’s no surprise that many people would give up in the final days before Jesus’ coming.
• Many will give up and become bitter as a result of intense harassment combined with betrayal by family members!
• However, there is a guarantee!
• According to God’s Word, ″…and nothing shall harm them.″ Not even the smallest setback will lead them to falter, give up, or turn back.

• Those assurances are just as valid in the final week before Jesus’ coming as they are right now.
• In what way does this promise become conditional?
• When it comes to loving Your law, Psalm 119:165 says, ″They enjoy great tranquility, and nothing causes them to stumble.″ The answer is to love God’s law, to love God’s Word, and to love Jesus Christ, who is the living Word!
• If I love anything more than I love Jesus Christ—my marriage, my children, my possessions, my ministry, my health, or anything else—then Satan has a grasp on me and is able to bring me back and lead me to fail.
• Nevertheless, if we love Jesus more than anything else in the world and everyone else, Satan will have no place to hook and cause us to stumble!

John 4:23 But a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for the Father is seeking such as these to worship Him.

(23) However, the hour has arrived.- Better still, as John 4:21 says, but the hour is approaching.It is what He could not add to the prior idea that he now adds to this one: ″and now is.″ Local worship had not yet given way to spiritual worship, but a band of sincere worshipers was forming, and some of them were following Him at that point in time.These are the actual worshipers.- Her differentiation of location was due to chance, but the core of the devotion was due to the nature of the worship.What kind of worship could there possibly be for a God who saw the filth of the heart and the inconsistency of thought and word?

What could she possibly know about the worship that she is referring to?The temple in Jerusalem was a storehouse of trade rather than a place of prayer; what did the priests and Levites, the scribes, and the Pharisees understand of authentic religious practice?With all of my heart and soul and truth.The relationship between human nature and the divine may be found in the human spirit, which serves as the Holy Spirit’s altar on earth (1Corinthians 6:19).

1. As a result, all genuine approaches to God must be made in the spirit realm.
2. (See, for instance, Romans 1:9 and Ephesians 6:18.) It is only in the sense that they contribute in the abstraction from the perceptible world and the elevation of the spirit inside that place and time, words, postures, and sounds, and all things from without are significant.
3. When they become a distraction, they become a hindrance to sincere worship.

It is impossible to debate ritual without running the risk of spiritual loss.It is more than ″really″ that the words ″in truth,″ which have previously been uttered by sincere worshipers and are repeated in the next verse, mean.Sincerity is not a requirement for acceptable worship, but it is a requirement for acceptable worship.Bigots are earnest in their belief that they are doing God’s work.When we worship ″in truth,″ we are worshiping in line with the nature of the God whom we serve.

Being reminded of God by hearing His truth, being energised by praise songs, and realizing the early sections of collections and prayers that proclaim His qualities are all required for the truth of requests, thanksgivings, and adorations of worship to be heard and understood.In its very opening lines, the model prayer of Christianity communicates the Fatherhood of God to the heart of the listener.Because the Father is looking for those who will adore him.- Better still, for it is just this kind of worshipper that the Father seeks.The use of the term ″such,″ which refers to this particular character, is emphatic.

The preposition ″also″ indicates that the worship performed by real worshipers is in conformity with the divine will: ″the Father also (on His part)…″ The reader will not be able to miss the emphasis placed on the word ″Father″ in this response (John 4:21 and twice in this verse).It’s possible that this name of God, which we train infants to lisp from their earliest years, has come to her for the first time today.Not to be appeased, not to be feared, but to be embraced is He, who is neither vengeance nor power.

(See also the note on John 3:16.) It is only when mankind come to conceive of God as Father that they will be able to put an end to purely local and material worship.The universal desire for and practice of worship bears evidence to the existence of a universal object of worship, as does the activity of worship itself.The longing of the human soul is similar to that of a kid who is searching for the source of his or her existence.It is not only humans that are on the lookout.The Father also seeks and sees His kid, even though he is a long distance away (Luke 15:20)….

1. Verse 23.
2. – The Father seeks and sees His child, even when he is a long way away (Luke 15:20)….
3. But now comes the hour – already the day has dawned, and the new conception is bursting forth like the ″awful rose of dawn″ upon the minds of some – when the genuine worshippers – those who live up to the concept of worshippers, those who actually draw near to the Father in living fellowship and affectionate appreciation of his eternal Name – will worship the Father in spirit and truth, as the Scriptures teach.

• Some Fathers accepted an earlier misreading of this passage that was based on the principle conveyed in John 16:13.
• This misreading of the text found expression in the Sinaitic Codex, which was written ″in the spirit of truth.″ In this context, however, ″spirit″ does not refer to the Holy Spirit, but rather to the spirit of man – that portion of man’s constitution through which he most particularly bears the image of God, with which the Divine Spirit engages, and in which the Divine Spirit resides (Romans 8:26).
• The worship of the spirit is worship in opposition to all mere carnal concomitants, all mere shadows of the good things to come, all mere ritual, all specializations of location, time, sacrament, and order, and all other forms of worship that are unnecessary.
• It does not have to be done in spite of a true regard for days, seasons, postures, or washings, but rather in complete independence from them, and they will be effectively worthless if they are not done in this way.
• The adequate and veracious expression of genuine wishes and veritable emotions; i.e., when dealing with reality, the manifestation of genuine desires and veritable emotions in the proper and veracious manner; (ver.

• 9).
• Indeed, the Father is on the lookout for such individuals to serve as his worshippers.
• The focus is different between Luthardt and Meyer.
• Stephen Meyer maintains that the apostrophe emphasizes the word that comes immediately after it, and he asserts that 1 Corinthians 14:8 does not violate this criterion.
• Meyer also claims that 1 Corinthians 14:8 does not contradict the rule.
• He would say things like, ″For the Father, too, seeks,″ and other like things.

• Luthardt claims that the source of fresh thinking may be discovered in, and it is on this that the focus is placed in the text.
• According to Westcott, various biblical texts, such as Matthew 8:9, Matthew 26:73, Mark 10:45, Luke 6:32, and others, argue that the ″alleges a reason which is supposed to be conclusive from the character of the situation.″ In this case, ″For the Father likewise seeks those as worshipers of him who worship him in spirit and in truth,″ which encompasses the entire sentence, serves as a succinct summary of the entire sentence.
• There is a little contrast between the regimen of v with accusative, which is introduced once again in this phrase, and the regimen of v with dative, which was introduced in the first clause.

The first sentence would be rendered as ″offer adoration to the Father,″ and the second as ″worship him,″ according to Moulton.The Father is now looking for individuals who come to him with a profound sense of need and genuine devotion, who approach him in spirit rather than in ritual, who approach him in truth rather than in dishonest or callous profession, and who approach him in spirit rather than in ceremony.That there are great variations among men, even prior to their acceptance of the perfect revelation of the Father’s heart in Christ Jesus, is still another indicator of the high truth stated in the prologue (John 1:4, 9; John 3:21; John 18:38, see notes) that there are vast variances among mankind.″Man’s life is the light of the world.″ There are those who ″do the truth″ and are ″of the truth,″ who ″worship God in spirit and in truth,″ and those who ″do the truth″ and are ″of the truth.″ The entire gospel dispensation is devoted to the pursuit of them.Commentaries that run in parallel.

• (28) As a result, Christ was once made available.- Using the standard translation, which divides the stanza into two comparable sections, it is impossible to discern where the true focus is placed.
• The two components of the poem are nearly identical to one another, point for point, and have a remarkable degree of distinction; nonetheless, the first is plainly subservient to the second.
• ″In the same way, the Christ, having been once given in order that He could bear the sins of many, will appear a second time distinct from sin to those who wait for Him to bring them to salvation,″ says the Bible.
• The fact that not only is there exact parallelism between the two components of this verse, but that there is a comparable relationship between this passage as a whole and Hebrews 9:27 is also significant to note.
• Two pivotal moments in the history of sinful man were portrayed in that chapter; the essential contours of the Redeemer’s work were provided in this chapter.
• Each line deals with the current world first, and then with ″the final things,″ as the phrase is translated.

Taking the two passages together, the word ″once″ establishes a connection between them and the preceding argument.Christ will not ″suffer″ on a regular basis.He has only been shown once, in order to fulfill the ″annihilation″ of sin in a single act (Hebrews 9:26).And this is in accordance with the fate of man, who must die just once, and only once, in his lifetime (Hebrews 9:27-28).But what is the nature of this relationship in its specifics?Do the phrases merely indicate that, because the Christ was a man, it was planned for Him to die just once on the cross?

• Alternatively, may the link of thinking be stated in this way?
• – It is important to note that the work of redemption is organized in such a way that it corresponds to the course of human history: just as man must die once and what remains is the judgment that he must endure, so the Christ has died once and what remains is His return for judgment-a judgment that He Himself administers, resulting in the salvation of His people.
• Not that the first notion is completely gone from these words (which are sufficiently comprehensive to encompass both), but it is clear that the second is the more essential of these two.
• Taking a look at Hebrews 9:28, we can observe that the phrases ″having been once offered″ in the first member are replied by ″shall appear″ in the second; ″to bear sins,″ by ″apart from sin…
• until salvation;″ and ″of many,″ by ″to those who are waiting for Him.″ As previously stated in Hebrews 9:14 and Hebrews 9:25, the writer spoke of Christ as offering Himself, which is translated here as ″having been offered.″ As a result, in Ephesians 5:2 we read that He ″delivered Himself up for us,″ but in Romans 8:32 we read that God ″delivered Him up for us all,″ and in Romans 4:25, we read that He ″was delivered up for our offences.″ After that, the lines ″and He bore the sin of many″ are borrowed from Isaiah 53:12 (with a small alteration).
• These phrases unmistakably conjure up images of sacrifice.

This does not imply the removal of sin (as in the different words of John 1:29); rather, just as on the animal to be slain in figure were laid the sins of the offerer, and the death which followed symbolically represented the death which the offerer had deserved, so the words here applied have an infinite extension of meaning.It is unquestionably no coincidence that the writer, in making use of the prophet’s words, refers to the Christ at the end of the passage.The ″many″ who bear the sins of the world stand in stark contrast to the ″one″ Sufferer (comp.Hebrews 2:10; Matthew 26:28).

When Christ appears for the second time, he will be ″apart from sin″—that is, he will no longer be burdened by sin—and ″apart from sinners″ (Hebrews 7:26).This verse does not speak of the judgment that He will pass upon ″the adversaries″ (Hebrews 10:27), but only of His appearing to His own people, who are ″waiting for Him,″ as the verse states.Throughout the New Testament, St.Paul (see Note on Romans 8:19) used this expressive word to describe the attitude of Christ’s people on earth toward their Lord (Philippians 3:20; 1Corinthians 1:7) and His salvation (Romans 8:23; Romans 8:25), and it is now applied to all who are eagerly awaiting His appearing.

By these, ″He shall be seen″ for who He truly is (1John 3:2).The final words, ″unto salvation,″ declare the reason for His appearing in a way that immediately recalls the teaching of earlier verses in the Epistle (Hebrews 5:9; Hebrews 7:26), and especially Hebrews 9:12 of this chapter, and that immediately brings to mind the name of the One for whom we wait, the Saviour, who is the reason for our waiting (Philippians 3:20)….
