So obviously I am not the best blogger in the world....4 months since the last post? It's been that long?? Sorry!
I just realized that I did not ever end up presenting what the 2 different "gospels" the aforementioned church was debating over as being THE gospel to be spread. But please let me draw your attention to Revelation 14:6-7
"And I saw another angel flying in mid-heaven, having an everlasting gospel to proclaim to those dwelling on the earth, even to every nation and tribe and tongue and people, saying in a great voice, 'Fear God and give glory to Him, because the hour of His judgement has come; also worship Him who has made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea and the fountain of waters'"
Fear and Worship....the definition of the gospel clearly spelled out for us! No debate, tweaking or vote required. For those who have eyes to see and ears to hear, and a heart of obedience; YHVH's WORD speaks! Praise Him!
Notice how it says that this voice proclaimed in mid-heaven??
In 2 Cor 12:2 Paul talks about an experience of being caught up to the THIRD heaven. It is understood that in Hebraic thinking there are 3 "heavens":
--The first being the skies where the birds fly. (Jer 4:25)
--The second being the space where the sun the moon and the stars were placed as signs for YHVH's people (Genesis 1:14)
--The third being the place where YHVH dwells (2 Cor 12:2)
It may behoove us to look up! Just as the Messiah's coming was proclaimed in the heavens, I believe that the time of the coming judgement will also be proclaimed in the heavens. We would do well to have understanding of His signs...
For a better understanding of the signs of the Messiah's birth, visit the Torah Calendar. On the home page, if you scroll to the bottom you will find "The Birth of the Messiah" PDF document. I also recommend visiting The Star of Bethlehem. Both are very good.
What celestial symbology is used throughout scripture that can help us understand what will be the sign of His coming?
