The More Obedient

The Firstfruits Know
And Are Ready!

WHY DO OTHERS NOT KNOW (Job 24:1)?

          The Firstfruits Unblinded:

          "And He will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the vail that is spread over all nations.

          "He will swallow up death in victory; and the LORD GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of His people shall He take away from off all the earth:  for the LORD hath spoken it."

Isaiah 25:7-8; 44:18

          Others Remain Deceived:

          "And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the LORD have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out My hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of My people Israel (true Israel).

          "And they shall bear the punishment of their iniquity:  the punishment of the prophet shall be even as the punishment of him that seeketh unto him."

Ezekiel 14:9-10
See 14:3-11; 20:24-26
Isaiah 66:4
Jeremiah 6:21
II Thessalonians 2:11

          The Southland Emerges over a 1,500 year period as three separate groups:

1. The Firstfruits (escape during the 42 year-hour).

2. The Main Harvest (escape 1,000 years later).

3. The Gleanings (escape 500 years after the Main Harvest).

          The Land Of The North:  After the Gleanings escape, a fourth group, the Tares or Outcasts remain forever as the lowest caste.   They, of course, dwell in misery, poverty, depression, and dispare under Satan's dominion (Daniel 4:22)

          Today people falsely proclaim that they are "Israel"; yet, they blatantly reject the whole Word of GOD (Revelation 19:13).

          Today people falsely proclaim that they are "saved" and "have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ"; yet, they blatantly reject the whole Word Of GOD (Revelation 19:13).

          Today people falsely proclaim to be "true believers"; yet, they too reject the whole Word Of GOD (Revelation 19:13).

Who's Kidding Who?
They're Only Fooling Themselves
And Perhaps Their Neighbors And Their Flocks.

          The Whole Story Is In The Whole Word:  Yes, when the time is right things are revealed in (via) the Scriptures.

          "But take heed:  behold, I have foretold you all things."

Mark 13:23

          "... they that seek the LORD understand all things."

Proverbs 28:5
Daniel 12:10

          "Surely the LORD GOD will do nothing, but He revealeth His secret unto His servants the prophets."

Amos 3:7

          "Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare:  before they spring forth I tell you of them."

Isaiah 42:9

          "Fear them not therefore:  for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known."

Matthew 10:26
Mark 4:11-12,22
Luke 8:10,17
John 12:38-40

          "The secret of the LORD is with them that fear Him; and He will shew them His covenant."

Psalm 25:14

          "He that is of GOD heareth GOD'S words:  ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of GOD."

John 8:47

          The Ancient Prefigures The Modern:  The end is declared by the beginning.   So, when one examines the beginning, the beginning reveals what is to happen relative to The LORD'S Day.

          "Remember the former things of old:  for I am GOD, and there is none else; I am GOD, and there is none like Me,

          "Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure."

Isaiah 46:9-10

          "The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done:  and there is no new thing under the sun.

          "Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new?   it hath been already of old time, which was before us."

Ecclesiastes 1:9-10

          The Word Even Explains Precisely When The Messiah Arrives:  But until it happens no one knows which group they are in!   Therefore, no one knows when He comes for them ... if at all.   Yet, Scripture sets forth a schedule in great detail.   But the blind cannot see it (Job 24:1).

          However, with respect to GOD'S Word, no one knows when GOD'S Word will pass away simply because His Word is eternal, it will never pass away regardless of the myriad perversions introduced by Belshazzar's wise men and women.   Nevertheless, the Main Harvest must wait 1,000 years because they neither believed this simple fact nor obeyed GOD'S laws and His ways.

          "But take ye heed:   behold, I have foretold you all things...

          "Heaven and earth shall pass away:  but My Words (the Word of GOD) shall not pass away.

          "But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father."

Deuteronomy 4:2 Proverbs 30:5-6 Matthew 5:17-19 Revelation 22:18-19 Revelation 19:12-13

Mark 13:23,31-32 Matthew 24:25,35-36 Luke 21:33 Psalm 102:12-13,16 Jeremiah 31:35-36 Isaiah 40:8

          Whereas, in the parable of the ten virgins (Matthew 25:1-13), when addressing those who were unprepared, Jesus admonished:

          "Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh."

Matthew 25:13; 24:42
Mark 13:31-37; Luke 12:40

          "And He (Jesus) said, Unto you (the more obedient) it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of GOD:  but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.

          "For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad."

Luke 8:10,17

          Yes, people have been forewarned to know when the true Messiah is to appear (Matthew 24:50-51; Luke 19:41-44).

          "The Lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,

          "And shall cut him asunder (cut him off), and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites:  there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth."

Matthew 24:50-51

          Jesus speaks of dire troubles coming upon people:  "... because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation."

Luke 19:41-44

          Remember, because people have not heeded GOD'S admonitions to obey GOD and to know when ... even one-third of the Congregation are to be seduced into following the false Messiah (Revelation 12:4).   They, of course, will have 1,000 years of misery to wait before the Main Harvest offers them a second chance.

There Are Two Messiahs
The True And The False
(Compare Revelation 1:12-16 with Daniel 10:5-6)

          Be Very, Very Careful:  Because of humanity's disobedience, the Firstfruits (Revelation 14:1-5) apparently will include people who enter therein not because of their righteousness but because others have been that much worse than they (Deuteronomy 9:4-7).   So, again, "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations..." teach the whole Word, teach the true Word.

          Today the Internet is that Great Trumpet sounding 24 hours a day.   Anyone with access can reach around the world to hundereds or thousands of contacts without ever leaving their keyboard (Deuteronomy 7:11-15).
