Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh

But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. (Matthew 24:36-44) Jesus said to learn the parable of the fig tree. Since the fig tree cannot produce fruit, Jesus cursed the tree and made it dry. This means that Israel cannot bear fruit, and the grace of salvation comes first to the Gentiles. So, when you see the signs of the last days, remember the curse of the fig tree, wake up and prepare for the Lord's coming. People wonder about the Second Coming of Jesus. As in the Jewish wedding custom, when a bride-to-be is at the bride-to-be's house, the bride gives a sign that she will marry. That's what the bride drinks the wine the groom pours. If she does not drink wine, there is no intention of marriage. When the bride drinks the wine from the bridegroom, the bridegroom goes back home, he arranges a room for the couple, and the bridegroom's father gives permission to bring the bride. After that, the prospective groom goes to the bride's house and takes the bride. No one knows when the groom's father is given permission. It is the heart of the father. By comparing Israel's wedding customs, Jesus explains the situation in the end times. Only God knows the timing of the Second Coming of Jesus, and it is difficult if we talk about the coming day. Even if you know the day of Jesus' Second Coming, faith does not change. To be the bride of Jesus, you must be a drinker of the wine that Jesus gives. Anyone who does not drink the wine Jesus gives cannot be a bride. There are two purposes for Jesus' second coming. It is coming to pick up the bride and establishing the Messiah Kingdom. There is work to be done before bringing in a bride and establishing the Messianic kingdom. In Isaiah 49:6『And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth. 』 Israel is abandoned by God until the Gentiles are saved. In Matthew 8:11-12, ``And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 』 Israel cannot be saved until the full number of Gentiles is reached. The Gentiles will be saved first, and then there will be a restoration of Israel. God predestined for Christ before the creation of the world, and God brings together all the spirits who have left Christ. In Genesis 2:24 "Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh."Christ leaves God and comes into this world and takes the members (spirits) of Christ back. Ephesians 5:30-32 says the same thing. The reason Jesus returns is to take his members (wife: spirits). Christ's wife is a drinker of the wine that Jesus gives. In Luke 22:18-20, "For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come. And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you." Those who eat and drink the bread and wine of life become the bride of Jesus Christ. In John 6:53-54, ``Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. 』 Those who eat the flesh and drink the blood of Jesus Christ become the bride of Jesus. Those who eat the flesh and drink the blood of Jesus are those who are united with Jesus Christ, who died on the cross. They are those who believe in dying with Jesus and resurrecting with Jesus. So, those who are united with Christ enter into Christ, gain heavenly life, and become light. In Ephesians 5:8, “For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:” Those who become light in Christ become the lamps of the world. The lamp has a lamp and oil. Oil means the Holy Spirit, and God gives the Holy Spirit to those who are in Christ. Those who do not have the Holy Spirit will not be lit. That is why those who eat and drink bread and wine become those who receive the Holy Spirit. The parable of this is the parable of the ten virgins. The five wise virgins had other oil drums (the Holy Spirit), but the five foolish virgins could not prepare another oil drum. The ten virgins are all waiting for Jesus Christ as the bridegroom, but only the five wise virgins entered the wedding feast. In other words, those who do not eat Jesus' flesh and drink blood are not taken by Jesus when Jesus returns. Those who do not believe in “dying with Jesus Christ and being resurrected again” do not enter the Holy Spirit. No one knows when Jesus will return, so the Bible tells us to be awake. To be awake is to rely on the power of the Holy Spirit to fight the world. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness in Ephesians 6:14; 』Luke 12:35 says, "Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning; I said. “Let your loins be girded about” means to prepare well for battle with the word. And in addition to the Word, it is to light the lamp by receiving the power of the Holy Spirit. Those who drank wine (the Word) also have oil (the Holy Spirit) and can stand. When the bride stands with a lantern, the groom comes and takes them to the wedding feast. To become brides, they must drink the wine of life and wait with the lamp of the Holy Spirit on. "Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord." And in Mark 13:36-37, "Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. 』What is not a bride is expressed as sleeping.

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...

Question 49. How did Christ humble himself in his death?

  Question 49. How did Christ humble himself in his death? Answer. Christ humbled himself in his death, in being betrayed by Judas, forsaken by his own disciples, mocked and rejected by the world, condemned by Pilate, suffering under persecutors, struggling with the fear of death and the powers of darkness, feeling and enduring the terrible wrath of God, laying down his life a sacrifice for sin, and enduring the pains, shame, and cursed death of the cross. Matthew 27:28-30 “ And they stripped him of his clothes and put a scarlet robe on him. Then they platted a crown of thorns and put it on his head. And they put a reed in his right hand. Then they knelt before him and mocked him, saying, ‘ Hail, King of the Jews! ’ Then they spit on him and took the reed and struck him on the head. ” Jesus did not humble himself before the death on the cross, which was condemned by the Jewish leaders as a blasphemer, but humbled himself before the justice of God. And he endured and endured ...
