The second coming of Jesus

『Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.』(Matthew 24: 32-33) Summer leaves will come when the leaves of the fig tree come out. The situation is the same as Luke 17 in the days of Noah and Lot. At that time, both cases were judged by God from God. That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. 『And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.』(Genesis 6: 2-3) The words about Son and daughter have many meanings. Heaven and earth, those with seeds and those without seeds etc. Both are people who believe in God. One is the Son of God, and one is the daughter of man. One is the life (the daughter of man) from the parents, and the resurrected life (the Son of Heaven) from God. Both believe in God. It can be that the son is being that has the promise of seed and, the daughter is being that does not have the promise of seed. Noah's time tells a spiritual story, and Lot's time tells a carnal story. 『Yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.』This does'nt means that human life become120 years. But God will judge people 120 years later. It means that All people will be judged after 120 years, so, repent and turn. But Noah cried out for 120 years, no one repented except seven of his family. So the flood came and all the people were died. Sodom where Lot lived was where homosexuality prevailed. Homosexuality is evil that destruct the creation order. God judged Sodom by fire. Homosexuality is spreading worldwide recentary. Until the year 2019, there are 27 countries that recognize homosexuality. There are two countries, the UK and one in Mexico, which are partially recognized. which are recognized nine countries, the European Union. Countries whose nationals recognize same-sex marriage abroad are three countries including Israel. In addition to the European Union, nine countries are discussing legalization of same-sex marriage. Although Korea is not legally recognized, there has been a legislative move for sex minorities. However, we perceive that homosexuality is increasing in reality. An artificial intelligence robot is an element that can destroy creation order. There are also people who save human memories in computers and dream of eternal life. Even replication techniques using biotechnology are improving. This situation is the same things of the parable of the fig tree. Jesus said He would come back. When is that time? And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. (Matthew 24:14) There is an article posted on the Internet. According to the World Federation of Bible Society, there are 7,097 languages worldwide. The year of 2017, there are 3,324 languages that is at least a short story to be translated languages. 674 Biblical books, 1,515 New Testament books, and 1,135 short stories (pagan). The largest Bible translation ministry in the world is the Wycliffe Bible Translators in the United States. President of this mission, Bob Cresnon, has expressed his vision to complete the Bible translation in all languages untill the year 2025. I do not know when the last time will be, but there are something to say to us. In the Bible, God says to those in the church, "Be awake," not as foolish five virgins. If you are died to the law of the Old Testment, to sin, to the world, The fruit that God wants is not formed. So God says to repent and return to the world. Repentance is not confession of sin, but death for sin and not love for the world.

The tradition of the elders

  The tradition of the elders   Mark 7:5-9  『 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands? He answered and said to them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. 』 In the Galilee region, Pharisees and scribes from Jerusalem came to Jesus. They came with accusations against Jesus. This is because Jesus' disciples neglected washing their hands, a Jewish ritual of purification. They called it  “ the tradition of the elders. ”  The Jewish leaders ...

Question 32. How is the grace of God manifested in the second covenant?

  Question 32. How is the grace of God manifested in the second covenant? Answer. The grace of God is manifested in the second covenant, in his free provision and offering to sinners of mediation, and of life and salvation by it; and by requiring faith as the condition of their entering into a relationship with Christ, the mediator; and by promising and giving the Holy Spirit to all his elect, he works faith in them, with all other saving graces, and enables them to do all holy obedience; which obedience is a true evidence of their faith and gratitude to God, or the way which God hath appointed for their salvation. If we divide God's covenant into two for convenience, the covenant that appears in the Old Testament is called the first covenant, and the covenant that appears in the New Testament through Jesus Christ is called the second covenant. Luke 22:15-16 “ And he said to them, ‘ I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. For I tell you, I will n...

Healing a man with a withered hand

  Healing a man with a withered hand Mark 3:1-5 『 And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there which had a withered hand. And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the Sabbath day; that they might accuse him. And he said unto the man which had the withered hand, stand forth. And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace. And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he said unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other. 』 The Greek word for “ the man which had the withered hand ” is “ ἐ ξηραμμέ νην ἔ χων τ ὴ ν χε ῖ ρα” . In Revelation 14:15, “ And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; “ Exerande ” is the same wor...
