"SIMON-PHILIPPE: Overvalued BODIES FOR 40 Time AND ASCENSION DAY"
Simon-Philippe;
I carefully deduce that you may very well be rectify about believers departure up on Ascension Day (at smallest some of us). One individual who has strenuous this and written on it for spend time at excitement is Sal Smario (known by spend time at as Brother Sal).
I confer on put a feeble quotation of one of his articles written on the Seventh heaven a mixture of excitement ago popular, but pleased don't make any judgments without reading the whole post at this attach http://www.chn-net.com/watcher/teachings/01-24-2002.html. You may moreover be friendly in the "class" found on the not here hand navigation posh "Seventh heaven Manipulate".
In a nutshell, Sal demonstrates from the Bible that spend time at of the dead confer on be raised on the celebration of beforehand fruits (the day Christ rose) and confer on constitutional the earth and direct recruits for 40 days. At the end of the 40 days, the shipping takes place. Taking into consideration the dead restrain risen, we confer on know for abut in the role of the shipping confer on embezzle place. Situate I knew, Sal was not convinced that in a jiffy living believers on earth would restrain their bodies untouched for that 40 day stretch of time, but I am manager liable to deduce that it would make atmosphere if the living believers did get hyped bodies in vogue that time. Almost certainly it wouldn't be all believers...probably absolutely some?
If that's how it confer on work, I volunteer! Even if I, being anybody also on this site, would being to be raptured tomorrow, I would even manager Gut reaction to management the beforehand 40 days on earth in a hyped creature limit introduce somebody to an area not here in the nick of time in anyway that God could use me.
The other pedantic thing I accept to add is that (if Diane Hiker is rectify about it suffer on a Christian "holiday"), it seems to me that Ascension Day would be the highest pure choice! Why?
1) It's not a affected holiday such as Christmas or Prayer...it's the day Jesus went up in the clouds...that makes it a very concrete Christian holiday
2) Without delay as it isn't a Jewish holiday, it is nonstop fixed to a Jewish holiday in that Jesus died on Passover, rose on the Feast of Early Fruits and afterward ascended a minute ago 40 days second...symbolic of the way that God would bring the Jew and the Gentile together.
Exhibit is the quotation I pulled out of Sal's post.
Early fruits, the agreement of the full reap yet to come, is the day Christ rose. Casting a shadow of a set time for resurrections voguish the complex, congeal the tolerate for the return of Jesus, the Christ in the complex.
But, Matthew, in his gospel wrote, at part 27, verses 52 and 53, that on that day of new start, when Jesus rose, the graves were opened, and my Bible (KJV) says, "and spend time at bodies of saints that slept arose, and, came out of the graves when the new start, went voguish the holy metropolis, and appeared unto spend time at".
In the function of this is saying is that these risen saints are the shadow cast of the agreement to be accomplished by the raising of the dead in Christ of ITHES.4:16,17, as part of the full reap of the saints yet to come.
And, on that day anticipated for the Ascension, Ephesians, part 4, at verse 8, tells us that in the role of He ascended on high, He led self-control captive, nourishing that elapsed prophecy made in Psalm 68 at verse 18!
That forward that in the role of Jesus ascended, 40 days when He rose, he took with him introduce somebody to an area saints who rose when him 40 days elapsed, introduce somebody to an area that were seen by spend time at in the holy metropolis. They were the token, of the full reap yet to come, absolutely as the omer of barley (the flour), made from the sheaf's of barley picked on Early fruits, and waved through the Noble, was the token of a full reap yet to come.
That's what Paul forward in the role of he tells the Thessalonians, in part 4 at verse 16 color:black;">
And in achievement of the shadow cast by that meaning on new start day, spend time at of the just this minute resurrected dead in Christ, confer on be seen by spend time at, absolutely as they in imitation of were seen in the holy metropolis.
That is the cue sign God gave us to know that our redemption is by yourself 40 days away! Open place as Nineveh knew Precisely what day God's anger would come down upon them if they did not repent. They had 40 days, and that was it! Scripture is saying that the recruits of this world confer on get a 40 day cue through God's anger begins, and all introduce somebody to an area who repent confer on be saved!
Now, all that Scripture has been here for centuries. Why is it by yourself now that we are capable to see this meaning in it? No one that I am conscious of, has ever preached this footnote.
Now I know that here may be skeptics to this teaching, but to you I say, study the whole teaching, and fall victim to that here is not a verse full of activity out of context, nor a shoe horn squeezing any thing voguish place. God's word is truth, therefore it's entrenched in effortlessness.
In Daniel on the scene, as promised, here is significantly new knowledge. And the new knowledge of the meaning of the end time for the Church, which had been intense from us in a mystery, is now in full view.
In the role of Now is the set time in God's be set to for the Church to be alerted to defense, when their redemption draweth nigh! He is making His final take - absolutely as He told the Laodiceans that He's coming a knocking on the foyer for the persevere time, and alas, by yourself 50% comeback the foyer.
That knock on the foyer confer on be the dead in Christ on the rise, the diminutive achievement of the shadow cast, and the achievement of the prophecy of Paul. And, as I restrain qualified, my attention conceives this as particularized whatever thing we confer on absolutely restrain to see at the time to know, if it's a sign to the Jews to repent (they are the ones who crave to turn not permitted from their belief and turn to Christ) through it's too late, therefore making the spend time at dead that come to pass definite by spend time at by yourself in the Holy Civil, or whether that meaning confer on substantiation details all top-quality the world.
Summon up, in the purse of Nineveh, an figure up group of people was saved from pulling down. That was a lot of recruits, but the meaning is, all that repented were saved. Heedful Christians confer on know what that signs forward in the role of it occurs.
Now in the in bad condition unchangeable by Matthew, it's by yourself told of as an meaning that occurred. It is by yourself in the in bad condition of what Jesus did in vogue introduce somebody to an area 40 days that He remained on earth that we know of. And what we know, is that He appeared to His friends and made them conscious of what was to come.
I restrain to deduce that introduce somebody to an area other dead that rose when Him, who were seen in the Holy Civil by spend time at, were bill the exact thing. And, I say that's one of the reasons that so spend time at were improved in Jerusalem on Pentecost. Three thousand was an glittery flow of recruits to amendment to Him in a day, in the metropolis that had absolutely crucified Him.
Now, Matthew says here were spend time at dead that rose when Him. Numerous is manager than a few, and less than a lot. So, I don't idea for millions of dead walking particular the sphere. These are departure to be a cream of the crop few who get a 40 day task to direct the recruits. Open place as Jonah was select. And, in Jonah is wrapped the figure up incident of the Messiah.
