Who/what is
the bride of Christ?
A bride
keeps herself pure and betrothed to one man/husband, engaged to him before the
wedding day. A whore or prostitute sleeps with the richest and moves on and on,
never satisfied trying to fill a void likened unto a bottomless pit never
content and wanton. In the last days the man of Sin of (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4), will raise himself up above all
that is worshipped; so that he as God will sit in the temple of God, showing
himself that he is god (2Thes 2:4), saying that he is the Messiah, which fallen Israel
who rejected Christ Jesus their true husband will accept, apart from a small
number of elect being set apart in the day of Jacobs trouble: I am come in my
Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name,
him ye will receive (John 5:43). The scriptures are designed
by God to call His people into the promised seed of
the woman (Jesus the Messiah) and out of false religions which are
leading to the man of Sin who will shortly appear on the world scene. Jesus the messiah/Christ who was and is the
Messiah that the scriptures testify of (John
What does it
mean to be born again?
John chapter 3 is the first mention of "born
again" in the Bible as spoken by Jesus while teaching Nicodemus, who was a
Pharisee. The “traditional Jewish understanding” of the promise of salvation
was that being rooted in "the seed of Abraham" Matthew 3:7-12, referred
to physical lineage from Abraham. Jesus explained to Nicodemus that this was
not so—that every person must have two births—the natural birth of the physical
body, the other of the water and the Spirit.
John 3:5-6 Jesus
answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of
the Spirit, he cannot enter into the
This discourse with
Nicodemus established the Biblical belief that all of mankind—whether Jew or
Gentile—must be "born again" of the spiritual seed of Christ in order
to understand His word. The Apostle Peter further reinforced this understanding:
1Peter
Jesus used the metaphorical corn of wheat to explain the principles of what it means to be born from above as He always did through Parables for this reason, that only those who are born of God will understand them...
Mat 13:14-16 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Elijah,
which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye
shall see, and shall not perceive: For this people's heart is waxed gross, and
their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any
time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should
understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. But
blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
We were born once in
the flesh by the will of man but a second birth has to occur in us in the
spirit: Which were born, not of
blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God (John
What is earthly will
return to the earth and what is heavenly will return to heaven. The first man
Adam, was made from the dust of the earth and from there his body will return.
Not annihilated as some cults teach but awaiting the great white throne
judgment at the end of time.
Rev 20:11-15 And I saw a great white throne, and him that
sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was
found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God;
and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of
life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the
books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it;
and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were
judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into
the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written
in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
The second man, the Lord Jesus Christ, came
from heaven and was made a quickening spirit (1Corinthians 15:45) and there He/Jesus has
returned and all those that have not died in their sin: I said therefore unto
you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye
shall die in your sins (John 8:24). The earth rejected Jesus because He was not
from her at His death and therefore was resurrected by the power of the Holy
Spirit as those who are in Him shall also. Believers in Christ Jesus have
already been judged at the pint when they understood the cross
Gal 3:11 But that no man is justified by the
law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
