I Must Stay At Your House Today

(Luke 19:1-10)

it was the time of Passover when YAHSHUA came to Jericho. This was to be His last Passover, as we read what He told the disciples on the previous chapter of Luke. He said to them: Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning Him shall be accomplished (Lk. 18: 31). So this event constitutes not only the time frame of YAHSHUA’S death – seven days later, but Daniel’s prophecy embedded in the seventy weeks of years for the Jewish nation found in Daniel chapter 9:24-27. Verses 25,26 read: Know therefore and understand that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem until [the coming of] the Anointed One, a Prince, shall be seven
weeks [of years] and sixty-two weeks [of years]; it shall be built again with square and moat, but in troublous times. And after the sixty-two weeks [of years] shall the Anointed One be cut off or killed and shall have nothing belonging to Him…

Ten Virgins and Their Lamps at the Mid-Night Shout

(Matthews 25)

They were five wise and five foolish virgins. The commonality between them was only that they were virgins. With certainty, one group carried the mark of the Holy Spirit but the other did not. The first represents the true church of Messiah and the second, the apostate church- the Laodicea church, the church that thinks it is earthly rich, but spiritually poor. Unaware of their spiritual condition, they went together with the wise virgins to meet the bridegroom. Tired for being late, they all feel asleep. Suddenly, a shout echoed in the air for all to hear: Behold, the bridegroom! Go out to meet Him (Matt. 15:6).

Behold, the Lord Will Make the Land and the Earth Empty

(Isaiah 24)

The land and the earth shall be utterly laid waste and utterly pillaged; for the Lord has said this (Vs.3). This chapter of Isaiah is a mini book of Revelation. Throughout the Old Testament God’s future judgements are predicted ultimately to destroy the earth and its wicked people with it. It is His final measure to deal with the stubborn, rebellious people. When this period of grace is past, His wrath will dominate the world and none who have rejected Him will escape. It will be merciless, with vengeance and no turning back. We see in this chapter, the character of His judgements, and the extent of it in verses 1-3: The scope of His judgements will include all peoples and all class of people. It shall be with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with this master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the creditor, so with the debtor. No class of people will escape with the exception of those who have accepted Him. YAHSHUA said, For it will come upon all who live upon the face of the entire earth. But for those who have accepted Him He gave a word of warning: Keep awake then and watch at all times, praying that you may have the full strength and ability to escape all these things, that will take place, and to stand in the presence of the Son of Man (Luke 21:35-36).
