The Fake News and the Evil Fools of the First Easter

Dear friends, on the very day that Jesus Christ rose again from the dead, our risen Savior and Lord clearly defined to all what a fool truly is. A fool as defined by the Word of God Himself (the Lord Jesus - John 1:1-3,14), is anyone who will not properly reason with themselves with the overwhelming biblical facts of TRUTH and REALITY of who Jesus is! The fool absolutely refuses to believe ALL that the Word of God (the Lord Jesus) has to say about the written Word of God - Matt. 5:17, Luke 24:27, 44, John 1:1-3;14 5:39,46, Acts 3:18; 28:23, Heb. 10:7).

“O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken...and beginning at Moses and all the prophets, He expounded unto them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself” (Luke 24:25-27).

One particular fool is the one who refuses to consider the overwhelming evidence of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the most verified event in ancient history and in our present day. After the horrific crucifixion of Jesus, over 500 witnesses - including His disciples, His earthly mother, and other women -  personally and publicly testified to the REALITY that they had seen the Lord Jesus ALIVE from the dead (Matt. 28, Mark 16, Luke 24, John 20-21, Acts 1, 1 Cor. 15:6)! The resurrection REALITY of Jesus Christ absolutely changed these individuals lives and was the cornerstone of the apostle"s ministry and preaching (Psalm 110:1, Acts 2; 4:2; 9, Romans 7:24-25, 8:34, 1 Cor. 6:15; 15, Gal 2:20, Phil. 3:10, Rev. 19:11-21). Those who witnessed Jesus' resurrection were more than willing to give their lives completely over to Almighty God's will and to the Gospel of Jesus Christ (Rom. 8:28-39, 1 Cor. 15:2-8, Gal. 2:20). These individuals were more than willing to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ even to the point of death for this undeniable TRUTH and REALITY in which they possessed! To see the resurrected Son of God ALIVE after such a horrific scourge, crucifixion and death absolutely transformed these dear men and women's lives FOREVER; and from this witness, they turned upside the world (The Book of Acts)!

 To see the resurrected Son of God alive after such a horrific scourge, crucifixion and death absolutely transformed these dear men and women's lives; and from this witness, they turned upside the world!

Another particular group of fools is anyone who is willing to receive and accept as "Gospel" any alternate theories designed to explain away the resurrection of Jesus Christ. This first great lie against the resurrection of the Son of God was established by the chief priests and elders of Israel which were the engine and vehicle for Messiah's execution (Psalm 22, Isa. 53, Dan. 9:26, Matt. 12:14, 21:38, 26:59, 27:20, Mark 14:1, 55, Luke 22:2, John 5:18, 7:1, 11:53, 19:7, Acts 2:22-24). The demonic spin these evil fools used to explain away the REALITY of the Lord Jesus Christ's glorious resurrection was the narrative, “His disciples came by night, and stole Him away while 50 to 100 mighty men of war slept on guard duty (Matt. 28:11-15)". How absolutely absurd and preposterous is this lie but many kool-aid drinkers have lapped it up throughout the centuries! The very men (Chief Priests and Elders), who saw the overwhelming evidence of who Jesus was; His WONDERS, His MIRACLES, and His MINISTRY, were the very ones who REJECTED Him, CRUCIFIED Him and came up with the post-resurrection lie and spin that His disciples stole His body from the sepulcher; thus there was no resurrection (Matt. 28:15, Acts 2:22-24)

 This first great lie against the resurrection of the Son of God was by the chief priest and elders of Israel, which were the engine and vehicle for His execution.

This lie has been passed on throughout the centuries and countless fools have received it and believed it! Such demonic spin and theories are very easily disproved by careful examination and by the basic rules of logic. For Roman soldiers of war to say, “His disciples came by night, and stole Him away while we slept,” is absolutely absurd and laughable!; but many have received this lie as truth in their unbelief and darkness (John 3:19-21, 1 Cor. 1:18-31, 2:14). If these soldiers of war fell asleep, then how did they know what had happened? How did these soldiers not hear the mighty gravestone being moved out of its place? How did they not hear the disciples of Jesus grunting and groaning as they sought to move a very huge and heavy gravestone? Soldiers sound asleep are usually NOT good witnesses and the biblical account explains quite clearly that they knew exactly what happened, as well as the chief priest and scribes did (Matt. 27:62-66; 28:11-15). These destroying fools lied firstly to themselves and helped spread that lie to others all in the name of unbelief and darkness (Psalm 14, John 3:19-21, Rom. 1:18-32,1 Cor. 1:18-31). Tragically, too many today have become fools, receiving the lie that, Jesus' body was stolen or that HE did not rise from the grave; ever seeking to excuse themselves in the darkness from the GREAT DAY of ETERNAL JUDGMENT by the RIGHTEOUS ETERNAL Savior and Creator, Jesus Christ (Eccl. 12:13-14, John 3:16-21, 8:24, Acts 17:30-32, Rev. 20:11-15).

 The very men (Chief Priests and Elders), who saw the overwhelming evidence of who Jesus was; His wonders, miracles, and ministry, are the very ones who rejected Him, crucified Him and came up with the post-resurrection lie and spin that His disciples stole His body from the sepulcher and there is no resurrection.

Some other foolish "Fake News" alternate theories of the resurrection never took place have been suggested by godless and lawless fools and unbelievers throughout the centuries. Some, in particular, are: The women went to the wrong tomb, The people who thought they saw Christ actually had hallucinations, and Jesus did not really die on the cross and somehow managed to escape the tomb (so that when people later saw Him alive, it was because He had never died. Dear friends, all such explanations are absolutely absurd and can be very easily answered by the overwhelming facts of this case. It takes more faith to reject and dismiss the resurrection of Jesus Christ than it does to believe it for one's self.

 It takes more faith to reject and dismiss the resurrection of Jesus Christ than it does to believe it for one's self. 

Anyone who accuses the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Son of God, who is come in the flesh; of the very sin which they themselves are guilty of is a fool. Dear friends, remember the lawless, unbelieving and godless Chief Priests and Pharisees of Jesus' day, who slandered and blasphemously Him and called the RIGHTEOUS ETERNAL TRUTH of Almighty God a “deceiver” (Matt. 5:17; 27:6, Luke 24:27, 44, John 1:1-3;14; 5:39,46; 14:6, Acts 3:18; 28:23, Heb. 10:7)! Yet, in the end, these tools of Satan and godless hypocrites were the very ones who were determined to deceive the masses by lying and hiding the truth of the resurrection of the RIGHTEOUS Savior of the world (Matt. 28:11-15, John 8:44). These evil fools and deceivers in their saturated darkness hated the Light of the world and delighted in the darkness of unrighteousness, Satan and ETERNAL death (Psalm 1; 14, Isa. 5:20, Matt. 23, John 3:19-21, Rom. 1:18-32. 2 Thess. 2:10, Rev. 20:10-15, 21:8, 22:11).

 These evil fools and deceivers in their darkness hated the Light of the world and delighted in the darkness of unrighteousness, Satan and ETERNAL death.

In the end, my dear friends, the height of ALL foolishness is found in anyone who refuses to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ (the RIGHTEOUSNESS of ALMIGHTY God) as personal Savior and be delivered from the wrath which is to come upon all the fallen offspring of Adam (John 3:16-17; 36, Acts 16:31; 17:30-32, Gal. 1:4, Rev. 20:11-15; 21:8). Dear friends, what more could anyone ask for and what more proof could anyone need then the resurrection of Jesus Christ? If the Lord Jesus Christ rose again from the dead, then the resurrection of Jesus Christ proves and confirms everything that Jesus claimed to be!; The ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Son of the living God, the PERFECT Lamb, and Propitiation for sinful man, the very One who came to this earth as the prophets spoke of to provide a FULL and FREE salvation for lost lawless sinners (Isa. 53, Luke 19:10; John 3:16-17, Rom. 5:11-21; 10:2-4).

In the end, my dear friends, the height of ALL foolishness is found in anyone who refuses to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ (the RIGHTEOUSNESS of ALMIGHTY God) as personal Savior and be delivered from the wrath which is to come upon all the fallen offspring of Adam.

Finally one last thought. Remember doubting Thomas, who was foolish Thomas until he repented and believed when he saw the resurrected Christ (John 20:24-29)? Thomas upon repenting and believing went from doubting Thomas to convinced Thomas and was a mighty witness of the resurrection of His Lord and God in India and was martyred because of that witness!

Remembered what Jesus stated to Thomas? "Thomas because thou has seen Me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed (John 20:29)." 

Thomas upon repenting and believing went from doubting Thomas to convinced Thomas and was a mighty witness of the resurrection of His Lord and God in India and was martyred because of that witness!

.

The greatest witness to the resurrection of Jesus Christ is the testimony and witness of the early church (Acts). Why would the disciples of Jesus Christ go forth and preach what they knew to be a lie at a great cost of persecution, prison, and even death? There was no money to be gain nor fame to be had, there was no earthly kingdom to create nor gratifications of the flesh to be received. So why would these put it all on the line for a BIG FAT LIE? My friends, they wouldn't! The resurrection of Jesus Christ is still a POWERFUL witness to our world of today! Even in our Laodicean age of EXPONENTIAL technological advances, media of unbelief, there are multitudes of believers in Jesus Christ, who by faith preach and testify to the risen Savior of the world; many even have given their lives for Christ's name  (Rev. 3:14-22).

What about you my dear friend? Will you choose to remain a fool of unbelief or a wise man of belief? Because of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, ALL who place their trust in Him will NEVER die and will have the forgiveness of sin and ETERNAL LIFE (John 11:25, 14:6, Rev. 1:5, 17-18)!

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

What MUST I Do To Be Saved

What is the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUSNESS of Almighty God?

What was crucifixion like?

Behold the Risen Lamb! Song and Meditation of the Resurrection!

He is ETERNALLY RISEN; I Read and Believe the Bible; and the Lord Jesus WINS... ETERNALLY BIG TIME!

In light of our present last day's evil world, My eyes will remain focused on Almighty God with ALL my heart (Phil. 4:4)! The God of ETERNAL RIGHTEOUSNESS; the One who reigns FOREVER and EVER; the One who holds ETERNITY in His hand as a grain of sand; the ETERNAL God of EQUITY, JUSTICE, AND TRUTH (Psalm 119; Isa. 6:1-3; Hab. 3:17-19; Rev. 4-5)! The ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS God of ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS LOVE, (John 3:16-17;1 John 4:10)! For in Him alone is ETERNAL Victory! In Him will I trust! In Him will I rejoice and in Him will be my ETERNAL joy! For this demonic sin-cursed world is NOT my home; for my ETERNAL country is Almighty God's ETERNAL presence in which I dwell and abide FOREVER (Psalm 119:57; Matt. 28:20; Eph. 1-2; Heb. 11:13-19; Rev. 22:1-5)!

I read the Bible and believe it! And do you know what the Bible tells me? That Jesus WINS! And my beloved... He WINS big-time! FOREVER and EVER and EVER BIG TIME!

Beloved, I read the Bible and believe it! And do you know what the Bible tells me? That Jesus WINS! And my beloved... He WINS big-time! FOREVER and EVER and EVER BIG TIME (Psalm 110:1, Isa. 9:6-7, Dan. 2:44-45; 7:13-14; Heb. 1:2-3; Rev. 1:17-18; 11:15, 22:1-5)! So try to steal that, Satan! Try to steal that world! Try to steal that Congress! Try to steal that godless and lawless America! Try, try, try.... but you NEVER FOREVER and EVER can nor will! That my beloved is called ETERNAL Victory and too, too many fools (conservatives to progressives commies) do not want to see it nor believe it (Eccl. 12:13-14, Matt. 7:13-14; Rom. 1:16-32)! In the end, my friends, those who deceive themselves and scoff at the Almighty ETERNAL plan and calling ETERNALLY destroy themselves and will end up in the Lake of Fire with their Master Lucifer FOREVER and EVER (Matt. 25:41;46; John 3:16-17; Eph. 2:1-2, Rev. 20:10-15; 21:27; 22:11,15)!

Our theme at the IFB has been continually just that! The Kingdom of Heaven is indeed at hand, and no Devil, Anti-Christ, 10 horns/toes, unrepentant raging inhabitants of this fallen planet earth, etc., etc., can EVER, EVER, EVER stop the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS reign of Almighty God!

Our theme at the IFB has been continually just that! The Kingdom of Heaven is indeed at hand, and no Devil, Anti-Christ, 10 horns/toes, unrepentant raging inhabitants of this fallen planet earth, etc., etc., can nor will EVER, EVER, EVER stop the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS reign of Almighty God; (Zech. 14; Isaiah 11, Rev. 1:17-18, 19:11-21)! And my friends, that is the ETERNAL GREAT consolation and hope of all Almighty God's blood-bought saints to rejoice in the Lord always because He is indeed the ETERNAL Victor (Jer. 17:7; Lam. 3:24; Rom. 5:5; 8; 15:13; Eph. 1:18; Col. 1:27; Titus 1:2; 2:13, 1 John 3:1-3; 4:4)!

And, in the end, EVERY single knee that has ever been created, whether it be angels (obedient or disobedient and fallen) or mankind (redeemed or unrepentant), will bow before the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Savior, King, Judge, and Lamb FOREVER and EVER and EVERMORE!

Beloved, the very One who destroyed death and neutered and ETERNALLY defeated Satan by His RIGHTEOUS victory at the cross and resurrection after the ETERNAL coup and execution of Himself (the Prince of Life), is seated NOW at the Right Hand of the Father FOREVER and EVER (Psalm 110:1; Heb. 1:2-3, Rev. 1:17-18; 5)! And, in the end, EVERY single knee that has ever been created, whether it be angels (obedient or disobedient and fallen) or mankind (redeemed or unrepentant), will bow before the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Savior, King, Judge, and Lamb FOREVER and EVER and EVERMORE (Psalm 2; 110; Isa. 45:23; Rom. 14:11; Phil. 2:10-11, Rev. 5, 11:15)!

So, in light of the end of our American Republic and as the dawn of a new darkened America arises, if you personally do know the Lord Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, redeem the time as children of light and ambassadors for the Lord, for His bride is at hand! Beloved, fix your eyes, hearts, and minds on Him and on all of His ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS promises for you in Christ!

So in light of the end of our American Republic and as the dawn of a new darkened America arises; if you personally DO KNOW the Lord Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior; Beloved, may I greatly encourage all of us to redeem the time as His children of light and His ETERNAL ambassadors; for indeed our Lord is at hand for His bride (Matt. 5:13-16; 2 Cor. 5:17-21; Eph. 5:16-17; 1 Thess 5:1-5)! Beloved, fix your eyes, hearts, and minds on Him and on all of His ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS promises for you in Christ (John. 14:1-3; 1 Cor. 2:2, 2 Cor. 1:20; Eph. 1-2; 5:16-17; 6:10-20; Col. 1:27; Heb. 13:8; 1 John 4:4; Rev. 1:17-18)! For indeed we will be ETERNALLY set FREE from this world's darkness and prison hold (Matt. 11:28-30, John 8:32-36; Eph. 1-2; Phil. 4:6-7; 1 John 4:4)! Jesus is coming for His bride indeed and ALL things exceedingly show forth that His Trumpet blast is at hand and the Four Horsemen of the Day of the Lord about to ride (Matt. 24:1-4; 2 Thess. 2:3-12, Rev. 6)!

Hear, consider, humble, and believe my friend, in ALL that Almighty God has done for you in Jesus Christ! For, in the end, Jesus will ETERNALLY win in RIGHTEOUSNESS, and we want to make sure that you are on the ETERNAL winning team of redemption and not ETERNALLY condemned in your sins!

If you DO NOT personally know the Lord Jesus Christ as the Bible so simply and clearly teaches, then may you finally humble yourself under His ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS loving hand and receive Him into your hearts (John 1:12; Acts 16:28-31, Rom.10:9-13; 2 Cor. 5:17-21; 1 John 4:10; 5:12-13; Rev. 3:20; 22:17-21)! You have absolutely no future in this world my friend and to think so is to be foolish and delusional (1 Cor. 1:18). Our days are but a vapor and then what after that (Psalm 39:5; Eccl. 1-12; Isa. 2:22; James 4:14)? Hear, consider, humble, and believe my friend, in ALL that Almighty God has done for you In Jesus Christ! For, in the end, Jesus will ETERNALLY win in RIGHTEOUSNESS and we want to make sure that you are on the ETERNAL winning team of redemption and not ETERNALLY condemned in your sins (John 3:16-17; 36; Rom. 3:23; 6:23; 8:26-39; 10:2-4; Eph. 2:8-9; Rev. 22:1-5)!

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand, beloved, and NOTHING in FOREVER will EVER EVER stop His Kingdom from coming! Phil 4:4!

Is the Resurrection a Reality to You? - He’s Alive for EVERMORE!

This Easter, many will go through the robotic motions of celebrating Easter without any possession of the REALITY of the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. They will gather with loved ones, family, and friends to color Easter eggs; have Easter egg hunts; eat baked ham, candy, and fine desserts; maybe watch a sporting event, and perhaps even attend church for the first time since Christmas. All these things in themselves are harmless enough, but leave out the resurrection REALITY, and all you have is ETERNAL vanity and darkness. This tragically, however, happens every year in a never-ending cycle of tradition and hypocrisy. Oh my friend, what is truly needed this Easter is a dose of the heavenly reality of Christ’s triumphant resurrection from the dead (John 4:24)!

The resurrection of Christ from the dead is the centerpiece of all time and ETERNITY. All depended on His resurrection and utter defeat of the tyranny of Death.

The resurrection of Christ from the dead is the centerpiece of all time and ETERNITY. All depended on His resurrection and utter defeat of the tyranny of Death (1 Cor. 15:55, Heb. 2:14-15, Rev. 1:18). Each and every one who has put their trust in Jesus Christ for salvation, as taught in the Holy Scriptures, shall never be ultimately defeated, discouraged, or disappointed (2 Cor. 1:9-10).

Oh, what joy to the trusting heart when the King of Fears (Death) is defeated (Col. 2:12-15; Rev. 20:14)! My dear friend, the Easter Bunny in all his "magical splendor" could never accomplish that! REALITY is so desperately needed in this hour, not fairy tales and vain traditions that CANNOT deliver a man or woman's soul in that Day of ETERNAL judgment (Rev. 20:11-15, 22:15).

"O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ" (1 Cor. 15:55-57)

"Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?" (John 11:25-26)

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead" (1 Peter 1:3)

"Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 6:8-11)

"Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification" (Romans 4:25)

This Easter, do you truly know the RESURRECTED Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Savior? He alone can deliver from the penalty of sin and the tyranny of death (John 3:16-17, Rom. 10:2-4, Rev. 1:5). Oh, to comprehend the REALITY of the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead! It will change your life, and you will NEVER be the same!

Jesus said: "Fear not; I am the first and last: I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death" (Rev. 1:17-18)

As you sit around the dinner table with loved ones and friends this Easter, may you examine your hearts and minds to be sure that you are truly trusting in the saving grace of Almighty God and His Precious Son (Acts 16:29-31, Rom. 10:2-4, Eph. 2:8-9, 1 John 5:10-13). Examine what is taught in the Holy Scriptures for yourself and see (Eph. 2:8-9; 1 Peter 1:18-23). May you truly be able to say with all of your heart, "I KNOW Him and the POWER of His Resurrection" (Philip 3:10a)!

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

What is Sin?

Jesus’ 3 Days and Nights in Sheol Paradise After His Crucifixion!

It was after the crucifixion of the Messiah of Israel that Satan and godless Israelites rejoiced in their demonic triumph of unrighteousness. They thought that they had done away with “This Man”, this Miracle Worker, this Preacher of RIGHTEOUSNESS, this violator of the Sabbath, the "messiah", this One who claimed to be Almighty God the Son; and it was exhilarating to their godless mind (Matt. 27, Luke 23). As the Sabbath day was about to begin these godless men made their preparation to finish “their” Feast of Passover and partake in “their” man-made traditions (Matt. 15:7-11, 23, John 18:28). Satan the original architect of darkness (John 8:44) was making plans to further His darkened Kingdom and in the delusion of his mind, rejoicing at the murder of the Messiah at the very hand of unbelieving Israel. How perfect must have this thought been in this fallen angelic madman’s reprobate mind? The very chosen nation of Almighty God (Deut. 4:13, 7:6, Rom. 9:4-5), the Apple of His eye (Deut. 32:10, Ps. 17:8, Zech. 2:8), the beholder of all the covenants and promises for the world (Rom. 9:4-5), and nation which was to bring forth the Seed (Messiah) of Abraham (Gen. 22:18, Acts 3:25, Gal. 3:16, Rev. 12:1-5) had been Satan’s chief vessel (Acts 2:22-23, 7:51-54) in the death, violent murder, eradication and violent crucifixion of Almighty God the Son, who abided in human flesh (Isa. 9:6-7, Micah 5:2, John 1:14, 1 Tim 3:16). As these haters of reality - in the physical and spiritual world - went about their delusional godless existence after this barbaric slaying; unknown to them in the abode of the dead something else was taking place.

When the Lord Jesus willingly gave up His ghost on the cross in the ninth hour, His Spirit departed into the nether regions of the earth called Sheol or Hades, the abode of the dead.

When the Lord Jesus cried, "It is finished!" and willingly gave up His ghost on the cross in the ninth hour, His Spirit departed into the nether regions of the earth called Sheol or Hades, the abode of the dead (Matt 12:40, Luke 16:22-31, Eph. 4:8-10, 1 Peter 3:19). This abode is where the spirits of just and unjust men awaited (some excitedly, while the majority horrifically). The Just for the first resurrection (Isa. 26:19, Dan. 12:2, Rev. 20:4-6), while the others in EXPONENTIAL fear for the Day of ETERNAL Judgment that would come at the end of time (Matt. 25:41, Rev. 20:11-15).

This abode is where the spirits of just and unjust men awaited (some excitedly, while the majority horrifically!

Sheol, the abode of the dead, which is in the center of the earth (Matt. 12:40, 1 Peter 3:19) is made up of two compartments. One called Sheol Hell, the other Sheol Paradise (Luke 16:22-31). Between these two realms is a great fixed gulf which neither side can cross (Luke 16:26). These two realms are FOREVER separated by the personal acts of belief and unbelief in the cross-work of Jesus Christ (John 3:16-21; 36; 8:24, Rev. 22:11). Sheol Hell is where the unredeemed and unregenerate spirits of man from Cain unto the last unsaved individual of time awaits for their ETERNAL sentence in the Lake of Fire coming up at the end of time (Rev. 20:11-15). Sheol Paradise is where the redeemed from Adam to the thief on the cross await for the completion of Christ’s redemptive and atoning work on the cross (Eph. 4:8-10, 1 Peter 3:19, 4:6).

Between these two realms is a great fixed gulf which neither side can cross. These two realms are FOREVER separated by the personal acts of belief and unbelief in the cross-work of Jesus Christ.

When Jesus entered into the realm of the dead both groups saw His glorious entrance as He entered into Sheol Paradise. Oh beloved, what rejoicing to the redeemed prisoners of Death’s undeliverable hand (Heb. 2:14-15)! The very One; in whom these individuals from who Adam to the thief on the cross had put their trust in times past for their sinful souls. had descended down into their presence to let them know that ETERNAL salvation was complete and deliverance from the grave/Sheol was a mere 3 days away (Eph. 4:8-10, 1 Peter 3:19, 4:6)! As Jesus Christ abode in Sheol with the redeemed, the once dwellers of time and earth who had now been subject to the nether realms of Paradise rejoiced and fellowshipped with their Savior! Those who had placed their trust in Almighty God's Lamb did not esteem the world's pleasures and godless appetites but looked for a city and Maker who was Almighty God and who hungered and thirsted for RIGHTEOUSNESS more than decadence (Heb.11:13). As the third day came, Jesus told those in Sheol Paradise that He would now rise because of His perfect and sinless life and ETERNAL redemption for these from the grave was now FULLY complete (Matt. 12:40, 1 Cor. 15:55, Phil 2:1-11, Rev. 1:18)!

As the tormented and lost looked across the great fixed gulf and saw Christ arising up into the realms of the physical world three days later, they now fully comprehended that their doom was FOREVER sure!

.

As the tormented and lost looked across the great fixed gulf saw Christ arising up into the realms of the physical world three days later, they fully comprehended that their doom was FOREVER sure. Horrified and filled with fright; their hearts surged to EXPONENTIAL levels of fear! For these godless and lawless transgressors of time, these now knew that FOREVER their fate was sealed and they would FOREVER give a full account for their deeds in the flesh when they once walked on the earth. For the Savior of the world had paid the FULL price and now would be RIGHTEOUS Judge of ALL (Rev. 20:11-15)! As Satan saw His ETERNAL Creator arise from the abode of dead, his prison hold for all of Adam's fallen race, he also was filled with absolute EXPONENTIAL dread and knew that his doom was indeed now sealed (Gen. 3:14-15, John 12:31)! What is absolutely amazing is that Satan is still relentless in seeking to destroy the work of God in light of the horrific dread that is as a battleship chain around his neck (John 8:44).

As Jesus arose, He made himself known to his disciples and 40 days later when He ascended into Heaven, He took with Him the spirits of the redeemed to be in His and His Father’s presence in Heaven.

As Jesus arose, He made himself known to his disciples (Matt. 28, John 21) and 40 days later when He ascended into Heaven (Acts 1:9), He took with Him the spirits of the redeemed to be in His and His Father’s presence in Heaven, to await the first resurrection from the dead in which these redeemed will receive a resurrected body of righteousness, which they will be given to perfectly serve and worship the Triune God for EVERMORE (Dan. 12:2, Eph. 4:8-10, Rev. 20:5-6, 21, 22:1-5)! This first resurrection will take place some 2000 years later at Christ glorious return to planet earth at the Battle of Armageddon when He is to reign for a 1000 years (Rev. 19:11-21, 20:4-6).

He has risen indeed!

When Jesus rose from the dead and then was then seated at the Right hand of the Father forty days later (Psalm 110:1, Luke 22:69, Acts 2:34, 7:55, Heb. 12:1-2), He then ten days later on the Feast of Pentecost established His called-out assembly (i.e., the church - Acts 2:1-4) made up of Jews and gentile (1 Cor. 2:13, Gal. 3:28) believers to be an exceedingly wondrous chosen vessel for His glory while Israel is set aside for a season (Rom. 9-11). This “called out assembly" (i.e., the church) would be -each member - individually given the Holy Spirit of Almighty God (John 14:16), have the risen Messiah’s and Father’s Personal indwelling, be seated spiritually at the very Right-hand of Almighty God, and blessed with ALL spiritual glory, praise and lauded as sons of the ETERNAL Father! They also would be given diverse gifts to be used for the glory and outworking of Almighty God until the Rapture. My beloved, who can even begin to comprehend the EXCEEDINGLY EXPONENTIAL wonders that the risen Messiah, the ETERNAL Son of Almighty God has done for the redeemed and for those who love Him (1 Cor. 2:9, Rev. 21, 22:1-5). My beloved, it will take all of ETERNITY to even begin to just taste the WONDERS AND ETERNAL LOVE of the Father.

My beloved, who can even begin to comprehend the EXCEEDINGLY EXPONENTIAL wonders that the risen Messiah, the ETERNAL Son of Almighty God has done for the redeemed and for those who love Him.

As Jesus ascended into the lower regions of the earth and then ascended, He took captive the very captor of the redeemed - DEATH and Sheol - and set the redeemed of Adam's race free FOREVER (Rom. 5:12-21, Eph 4:8-10).

"O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?" (1 Cor. 15:55)

"I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death." (Rev. 1:18)

Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?" (John 11:25-26).

My dear friend, Do YOU believe this? Do YOU believe that Jesus IS the resurrection and the life? I pray to Almighty God that you do! For our ETERNAL destinies are based on what one has done with Jesus Christ the Savior of the world (John 3:16-17, 36). We have two groups of individuals whose destinies are FOREVER settled that testify to the living that we will be in one place or the other in FOREVER'S ETERNAL future. This Easter may you - as the thief on the cross did (Luke 23:42-43), receive Jesus Christ as your Savior. You will truly FOREVER NEVER be the same!

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Good Wednesday and the Sign of the Prophet Jonah

Dear friend, maybe you were raised to believe - as I was - that Jesus (our Lamb and Savior) was crucified on Good Friday. If one does the math... Friday can never work (see charts below). The "Sign of the Prophet Jonah" states it all; The ONLY sign that the Lord would give to the Messiah rejecting leadership of Israel and nation was the sign of the most rejected event and individual of the Bible, Jonah and the whale (Jonah 1:17).

 The ONLY sign that the Lord would give to the Messiah rejecting leadership of Israel and nation was the sign of the most rejected event and individual of the Bible, Jonah and the whale.

 "Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee. But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth Matt. 12:38-40)." (Matt. 16:4, 12:39, 11:29, Luke 11:30).

One MUST think like a Jew and not a gentile to understand the biblical settings that take place in the Bible. Too many gentile "Christians" see Jesus, the apostles, Israel, her promises and the Bible with a "western" perspective and when one seeks to do that, they err greatly on the many things even to the damnation of their soul (Rom. 11:24, 2 Peter 3:16). Almighty God used His chosen nation, people, Jewish believers, the lunar calendar, their culture, customs and heritage to bring forth the Holy Scriptures and the flavor of them. Jesus (a Jew - Matt. 1, Luke 3:23-38, John 1:10-14, Acts 2:22-33, Acts 7, Rom. 1:1-3, Rev. 22:16) presented the Gospel to the Jews first and when He taught them, He talked and taught them as "Jew to Jew" and used their customs, heritage and society to teach them the wondrous ETERNAL TRUTHS of Almighty God (Matt. 5-7, 13, 15:24, Mark 10:6, John 6, 10, Romans 1:16).

One MUST think like a Jew and not a gentile to understand the biblical settings that take place in the Bible.

Many to this day who profess to know the Lord Jesus and call themselves Christians, know Him not as set forth by the Holy Scriptures (Matt. 7:21-23, Rom. 10:2-4)? This Passover and Resurrection Sunday may you be sure that you TRULY know the very One who died for our sins and gave His life for us all that we may find forgiveness, pardon and live with Him FOREVERMORE in RIGHTEOUSNESS (Isa. 52:13-15, 53:1-12, John 3:16-17, Acts 4:12, Romans 4:25, Gal. 3:13, 1 Cor. 1:30, 15:1-4, 2 Cor. 5:21, 1 John 3:5, Rev. 1:5-7)!

 Many to this day who profess to know the Lord Jesus and call themselves Christians know Him not as set forth by the Holy Scriptures.

The Lord Jesus ROSE VICTORIOUSLY from the grave for ALL, but truly, how many of the "ALL" will truly trust Him as their Lord and Savior as set forth by the Holy Scriptures?? Tragically, not many (Matt. 7:13-14, Rom. 10:2-4)!

May you be sure that you know the very One who died for your transgressions and rose for your justification!

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
