Mark 13:1-31 *2, 19, 30 (Jesus speaking)
v 1 And as he went out of the
temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones
and what buildings are here!
v 2 And Jesus answering said
unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? There shall not be left one stone
upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
Jesus was talking about what was
going to take place “then”… not in our generation, but in their
generation. By the Holy Spirit, Read on
and you will see…
v 19 For in those days
shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which
God created unto this time, neither shall be.
Jesus was telling them that the affliction that is about to
come on their generation was going to be the worse affliction Ever to be
manifested in all generations….thus, the words of Jesus, “neither shall be.” And we see this confirmed in other passages
too. So let’s read on….
v 30 Verily I say unto you, that
this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.
Here are more scriptures to confirm
this… in Matthew 23 and 24:
Matthew 23:36 (Jesus speaking)
Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
Matthew 24:21 (Jesus speaking)
For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning
of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
Now take a look at Exodus
32:4-19, and then Exodus 33:33-34.
In Exodus 32, this is where the
people of God created the golden calf to be their god and worshipped it. It’s hard to write this….angers my soul. God
was going to consume them, but Moses reasoned with God to spare them. (And like today, God is still a consuming
fire and Jesus is our propitiation)
So God with Moses created the
tables of stone in the writing of the commandments. But when Moses saw what they were doing, he
became angry like God was, and in his anger threw down the tables of
commandments and they broke. Then he
took the calf and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to powder. Then threw the
gold powder into their water and made them drink it.
Next, Moses heard Aaron’s side
of the story, and then stood at the gate and called for all those that were on
the Lord’s side to come to him.
Scriptures tell us that all the sons of Levi gathered together to
him. Then Moses had them go throughout
the camp and “slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and
every man his neighbor.” It was about
3000 men.
After the slaying of them, Moses
tells them to consecrate themselves to the Lord, and his son and brother. The next day Moses went to talk to God in
hopes of making an atonement to God for them.
Here is what is said:
Exodus 32:30-35 And it came to
pass on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people, Ye have sinned a great
sin: and now I will go up unto the Lord; peradventure I shall make an atonement
for your sin.
v 31 And Moses returned unto the
Lord, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them
gods of gold.
v 32 Yet now, if thou will
forgive their sin--; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which
thou hast written.
Oh, Moses… such similarity as Jesus
is to us all, to stand and take the blame and punishment.!! But Moses isn’t Jesus. And here is what God said….
v 33 And the Lord said unto
Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.
Oh wow!! That book of Eternal Life. God is a writer of deep engravings. More than a table of stone, but the tables of
our Souls with the living Word that is Spirit and Life. But look at what God says next…..
v 34 Therefore now go, lead the
people unto the place of which I have spoken unto thee: behold, mine Angel
shall go before thee: nevertheless in
the day when I visit I will visit their sin upon them.
The day of visitation is when He
came as Jesus Christ to THAT GENERATION.
It was that generation that was to take the Wrath of God for ALL THE
BLOOD THAT HAD BEEN SHED of the PROPHETS, and for ALL the SIN of past, present,
and future. And to those that received
His Son Jesus Christ, God became our Father, and Birthed us into the Blessings
and Inheritance of His firstborn Son, Jesus Christ. Thank you Father!
We have a High Priest and
Eternal Sacrifice with an Eternal Atonement that flows daily in our veins
(earthly and spiritually). For all
heaven and earth, your natural body and spiritual body are to become one in the
Son of God Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God.
Jesus Christ was and is the first to have achieved this, and so we too
may press in to this high calling of God, IN Christ Jesus.
JESUS CHRIST is God’s WAY to
escape God’s Wrath of sin, but take note here.
The people of God that had accepted Jesus Christ as their SAVIOR from
all sin, and had receive forgiveness too…. They had to endure the Tribulation
of God’s Visitation of Wrath that came upon the known world in that generation. God did not take them out of the world. Even Jesus prayed in John 17:14-15 “I pray
not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest
keep them from the evil.”
Mark 13 is similar to Matthew 23
and 24. Jesus speaks in each of these
passages about the tribulation that was about to come to that generation, which
was the wrath of God on that generation …. God’s visitation was to set things
in order and to remove the first house so to establish His second.
Yet our heavenly Father who is
the one and only God, gave all mankind a WAY to be saved from the wrath “to
come” which was in that generation back then. Jesus Christ, the Son of God and Lamb of God
came as the Prophet, Priest, and King of that old order to bring forth the
fulfilment of The Law back then. Then
Jesus the Lamb of God provided the Blood Atonement for all creation, past,
present, and future generations. God is
Love. He manifested Love in Christ
Jesus. He is God’s Way of Redemption, and Forgiveness of sin so to escape God’s
wrath, and to have HOPE of Eternal LIFE In Christ Jesus, God’s only begotten
Son. Those that believed in the Son had
this HOPE, thus had His Righteousness which produced Peace. And they were going to need this assurance
because God wasn’t taking them out of the world, but rather “keeping” them in
Him, during this time of unbearable Tribulation and End of the first order of
God.
So, God’s promise to visit them
and punish them came forth in the time of Jesus Christ in the earth. It is done.
That tribulation and prophecy
has been fulfilled and does not have to be fulfilled again. But this doesn’t
mean we will not have some tribulation or trying of our faith, and/or
correction of God in Grace…mercy abounding. But it will not be anything like
what they went through. In This
Generation of Grace, God’s correction is to bring US forth in more of His
Righteousness and Holiness of character, if so you have received Jesus Christ
as your Savior and forgiveness of sin.
Those that have not received Jesus Christ as their Savior are still in
their sin and the Wrath of God is still upon them.
He continues to wash us in His
Word (Jesus Christ) which cuts away the carnal mind’s spirit from our
souls. “The Renewing of our minds…” All the meanwhile of this working, JESUS
CHRIST sustains us, and keeps us from the wrath of God. We can serve God in peace and love, for He is
become our Father. A new Law is working
in our members. The Law of the Spirit of
Life in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1-11).
So why am I telling you this
testament of God? So you can understand
the WRATH of God that came on THAT generation back then, during God’s
visitation through His Son and Lamb, Jesus Christ, God’s Word manifested in the
flesh.
Jesus Christ is God’s ARK of
SAFETY.
And for today I hear Him compel
you to come into His Ark of Safety. To keep you from the tribulation that is
coming. It’s not the past prophecy
fulfilment because that is already done, but the current time’s “clean up”…because
you have prayed.
So, now, come apart from those
whose hearts are not for the Lord’s plan.
Separate from those that want to fellowship but not become…. Become The
Church and Body that needs to grow up into the Head who is Christ Jesus. And Become the Temple which the I AM is to
dwell in, AND MANIFEST to this world…through you who now are joined to the Lord
Jesus Christ, and are become One Spirit in Christ Jesus, the Son of God.
1 Peter 1:19-20 But with the
precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: Who
verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest
in these last times for you. (Last
times: were talking of “back then”)
Luke 1:67-69 And his father
Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying, Blessed be
the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people,…
John 14:20 At that day ye shall
know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
But to us there is but one God,
the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ,
by whom are all things, and we by him. 1
Corinthians 8:6
1 Corinthians 3:16-17, 23
Know ye not that ye are the
temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
If any man defile the temple of
God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. v 23 And ye are Christ’s; and Christ is God’s.
1 Corinthians 6:17-20 But he
that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he
that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
v19 What? Know ye not that your
body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and
ye are not your own?
v20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God
in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
2 Corinthians 6:14-18 Be ye not
unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath
righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with darkness?
And what concord hath Christ with Belial? Or what part hath he that believeth
with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? For ye
are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and
walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Wherefore come out from among
them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and
I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and
daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
Your day of visitation from God
is when He sends His Word via one of His Ministers, to introduce you to His
Son. Jesus Christ is God’s Way to keep
you from His Wrath. God doesn’t want you
to go without. His Provision of Eternal
Life and to give you an inheritance of His Kingdom is Come: through, in and by
His Son Jesus Christ.
Ask Him to show you HIS
LOVE. ASK and RECEIVE His Love, His Son
Jesus Christ.
Let the Visitation of God shine
His Love in You, and change you into a new person: His Habitation in Christ
Jesus.
John 14:1-4
Let not your heart be troubled:
ye believe in God, believe also in me.
In my Father’s house are many
mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for
you.
And if I go and prepare a place
for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there
ye may be also.
And whither I go ye know, and
the way ye know.
Amen.
