NOTE: This missive is intensely EVANGELICAL - proceed with caution and confirmation . . .. "I WILL RAISE HIM UP AT THE LAST DAY"
With
persistent wars raging in the Middle East . . . and with “news from the East
and North” more than troubling (Dan. 11:40-45), we who claim our
inheritance in the Good Land, await the “Last Day” in which out of this death
and chaos shall arise resurrection life!
This
missive is not what you might expect at your next “prophecy conference” but it
is intensely prophetic because it echoes the very words of the prophets
acclaimed by Jesus: “It is written in the prophets, ‘And they shall all be
taught by God.’” (John 6:45). Allow me to elaborate how and when this can be.
. .
Four
times Jesus declared “I will raise it/him up at the Last Day” in John
6:39, 40, 44 and 54. No doubt our Lord in this discourse in the synagogue in
Capernaum, Galilee (John 6:59) declared the very purpose of His manifestation
as the Bread of Life. It was to give “everlasting life” to all who would
believe in and partake of Him—but how could mortal man arrive at the Last Day
and be raised, resurrected, to everlasting life by believing in and partaking
of Him?
If,
like the 5,000 fed in the earlier part of John 6:1-14, anyone who seeks the
miraculous bread from heaven (manna) to feed their own belly or hungers for a
supernatural sign, will, as the fathers who ate such manna in the wilderness,
die in their superficial encounter with such provision—they take it in but have
no clue nor faith in the One behind their sustenance.
