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. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
