In the Fullness of Time is How God Works in the Human Race

 


 But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, Galatians 4:4

To be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.  Ephesians 1:10 (Jesus' Second Coming to rule and reign)

God is the God of all time.  He is time.  No beginning. No ending.  Man is linear. God is circular.

The high and lofty one who lives in eternity, the Holy One, says this: “I live in the high and holy place with those whose spirits are contrite and humble. I restore the crushed spirit of the humble and revive the courage of those with repentant hearts. Isaiah 57:15

Various scholars of the Bible disagree on when Jesus was born.  Some say September, recently April, both saying not December 25.  The year  was not l BC.  Most agree on 4-6 BC.  Conclusions are based on Jewish laws and historical events.  There is no unity among believers on the date when Jesus was born.  Jewish custom was known to celebrate a death not a birth. The early church only celebrated His resurrection, and God did not find it necessary to tell us the exact date.  This is a mystery left for our research, readings, and detective analysis.

God has all things in a purposeful plan. All the feasts of Israel are at the same time each year. Jesus' life is parallel to these.

Still, much is a mystery including when Jesus will come for the church in the Rapture.  Paul says,  "Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed_in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed."  I Corinthians 15:51-58

The catching away in the clouds of the church, known as the Rapture, is mentioned more than once  in the Bible, but an exact date is not given.  So the time for Jesus' return for the church is an even greater discussion than the time when He came to earth as a baby.

So why do Christians argue so much about God's time tables.  God said in Isaiah 57:15, written above, that He lives with those whose spirits are contrite and humble.  Is God really living as He desires in the hearts of those who always have to know the exact time He works in man's life? The point to knowing is only to know Him more, not to exalt our own knowledge through hot arguments in social media.

Father God, Show us the truth in Your Word so that we may know, love and obey You more; so that we may love You with all our hearts, souls, mind and strength; and so that we love our neighbor as ourselves.  First, help us to love ourselves as You love us and see us through the righteousness of Jesus.  In Jesus' name. Amen

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME SEVENTY-EIGHT TIMES ON FEBRUARY 16TH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🧁

     "When granted many years of life, growing old in age is natural, but growing old with grace is a choice." Billy Graham   PSALMS 92:12-15  The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree, He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Those who are planted in the house of the Lord Shall flourish in the courts of our God.   They shall still bear fruit in old age; They shall be fresh and flourishing, To declare that the Lord is upright; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.   I was born again 70 years ago. Eight years after my mother gave me birth, Father God gave me His Holy Spirit because His Son, Jesus Christ was born of a virgin to die for my sins and give me a clean heart so that I could be born of His Spirit. Born Again!   The New Birth  (John 3:1-17)   There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.  This man came to Jesus by night and sa

What are good Bible verses for healing?

   Psalm 147:3: He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. Proverbs 17:22: A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. James 5:15: And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.   Isaiah 33:24  "And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity."   Frazer's commentary on Isaiah 33:24  in Penny Pulpit says in short,  original sin is the root cause of sickness.    Matthew Henry's commentary on Isaiah 33:24, " The people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity, not only the body of the nation forgiven their national guilt in the removing of the national judgment, but particular persons, that dwell therein, shall repent, and reform, and have their sins pardoned. And this is promised as that which is at the bottom of all other favours; he will do so and so fo

Is Your Name Written There?

Image
Revelation 13:8 KJV   "All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the Lamb’s book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world."   I believe the ones in the tribulation time who have not accepted Jesus will be the ones whose names will not and can not be written in the Lamb's Book of Life. This is the only restriction. God knowing whose names are there is not a restriction on having one's name written there.  It is our choice to be part of the elect, but we MUST CHOOSE JESUS!  Repent today and ask Him to forgive your sins, and invite His Holy Spirit into your heart.  The Heavenly Father is waiting for you to come. He is ready to write your name in the Lamb's Book of Life. Come to the REAL JESUS today!  Isaiah 30:18 (NLT) But the Lord still waits for you to come to him so he can show his love and compassion. For the Lord is
