THE PLACE OF THE CHURCH AGE IN GOD’S PROGRAM

For taking your time to study remain blessed.
TOPIC: THE PLACE OF THE CHURCH AGE IN GOD’S PROGRAM June Monday 8th
Text: Luke 1: 26 – 33
Key verse: Romans 16:27 To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen.
You will understand that God at first began with the Old Testament saints: the Israelites as a nation; and the Bible says that salvation is of the Jews, but the Jews rejected Him. Then the Lord said “Go ye into the world…” and at that time the church was born. Paul described the gentile church as being grafted into the main stem of the tree. As an illustration, the church of Christ is like the boy’s quarters in a building. A man was building a house but whatever happened, he couldn’t continue with the building and he quickly decided to build the boy’s quarters. According to him, “After I have built the boy’s quarters, I will move into it and then continue with building of the main house.” That was what happened. The Lord was dealing with Israel as a nation, but because of their rejection of Christ’s offer of salvation, He then turned to the gentiles, the church. After He has gotten the church to Himself, He will return back to Israel.
We are informed of the seventy (70) weeks of Daniel’s vision. “Seventy weeks shall be accomplished ….” Actually sixty–nine (69) weeks have been accomplished and it remains just one week. That is the one week that will witness Christ’s return to the world to be the King of Israel after the throne of David. That one week is what we are all waiting for. Nevertheless, that one week will not meet the believers on earth. God would have accomplished His program with the gentiles and the church; and would have carried them out of the earth into heaven in the rapture.
It is then He will return to Israel and those who died in righteousness in God before Christ or before the church age shall remain in the grave because their souls shall not resurrect at the rapture, for they are not part of the church age. But when Christ shall finish His program with the gentiles briefly, He will return to the Jews and the Jewish saints shall resurrect at that time.
Thought for the day: God has His timetable of events He is executing on earth.
Song for the day: When You come to collect Your people, remember me O Lord
Bible reading for the day: 2 Chronicles 26-28; John 17

For taking your time to study remain blessed. August Tuesday 27th TOPIC: CORRECT WATER BAPTISM TEXT: Mark 16:15-16 KEY VERSE: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The believer requires water baptism. The baptism that Jesus commanded is in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is done by immersion in water because the three Persons are One. In Acts of the Apostles, the people were baptizing in the name of Jesus. They used the phrase “in the name of Jesus” to indicate that the baptism was carried out as authorized by Jesus, and the baptism authorized by Jesus is that which is done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is not to say that they dip people in water and say, “I baptize you in the name of Jesus.” The name of Jesus cannot represent the Godhead. The Father is not Jesus, the Holy Spirit is not Jesus, Jesus is God who be
