DISPENSATIONS
BY MOSES R CUNG
"Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.” (Ephesians 5:15-17)

Ages
The Bible defines the world into three divisions of ages. Those are:
1. Pre-flood age
2. Present age
3. Millennial age (1000 years period) .
When there is a change of age, the life expectancy of humans and the animal also changes.
Pre-flood age
(also known as Antediluvian age)
That period is from the beginning of the world until the big flood known as Noah's flood. That period is roughly 2000 years. At that time, human lifespan was over 900 (Genesis 5).
1. Adam ---- 930 years (Genesis 5:5)
2. Noah ---- 950 years (Genesis 9:29)
3. Methuselah -- 969 years (Genesis 5:2)
Such longevity is due to health. do not take medicine Although they do not use clean drinking water, they are healthy. Food is also convenient. There will be no such social problems. Much better than these days.
2. Present age
After the flood of Noah's day, until the second coming of Christ. 4000 years. This period is the worst. Life expectancy is very short. The lives of those not far from before the flood were instantly shortened;
1. Abraham---- 1:5 years (Genesis 25:7)
2. Isaac ---- 180 years (Genesis 35:28)
3. Jacob----14th year (Genesis 4:28)
4. Moses----- 120 years (Deuteronomy 34:7)
5. Joshua lived only 110 years.
The above individuals live only 1/6 of Adam's age. If those people are compared to today, They are still very long-lived. Regarding the modern life expectancy, Moses wrote: " Our age, It is as long as seventy years. Although strong and full of eighty years, Boasting is weariness and sorrow. That life also passed quickly. We are together ." (Psalm 90:10). The life expectancy of Burmese people is only 60 years. Compared to the life of Noah, there are only 1 of the 12 figures. Not only is the lifespan very short, They still suffer from various social problems. food poverty poor health moral failure; uneducated Having difficulty speaking politics ethnicity religion Facing various problems Due to the outbreak of war, these days, It is said that it is evil. How to redeem period time? When traveling to a city because of business, Although they planned to stay for a month, Because there is an emergency, If it is only for two days, Only important matters will be dealt with. Unimportant things need to be deleted. In the same way, because the human lifespan is very short in these days, Only important matters should be dealt with. However, because he did not know the time period, he thought that 60 years was too long. They are wasting time. Paul advised that you discern the will of the Lord (Jesus).
This day can be divided into two parts.
(1) 2000 years after the flood until Christ's incarnation
(2) 2000 years from the time of Christ's incarnation until Christ's second coming. This period of time will last roughly 4,000 years. 2020 is at the end of these days. Knowing that is very important. Only then can adjustments be made.
3. Millennial age
The thousand year period is from the time when Christ came as the second king. Until the end of the 1000 year reign. Regarding the period of 1000 years, It is written, “ Look! I will create new heavens and a new earth. Do not remember the former heavens and the earth, The heart does not remember. Because of what I will create. You will always be happy and joyful. for the joy of the city of Jerusalem; about making the townspeople happy I created it to be, I, too, I will rejoice over Jerusalem. I will rejoice over my people. There was no more crying or crying in that city. There shall be no young children in that city. There shall be no old man who is not full of life. A hundred years old and dead, He is remembered as a child . the dead of sin; and if he dies with a hundred years of life He is considered as the one who is cursed. They They will live in the house that I built. They will eat the fruit of the vineyard that I planted. They built the house; There will be no other person, They planted a vineyard; No one else will eat it. My people live; as the life of a tree; What they take care of, They will enjoy it for a long time. those whom I have chosen; They shall not work in vain. They must not bear a short-lived son. From himself and his descendants, They will be blessed by the Lord. I will stand up before they call. I will listen even as I walk. The wild dog and the lamb They will feed together. the lion They will eat grass like cattle. But the snake You will only eat dust. In all my holy mountains, oppressing each other They shall not be destroyed, says the Lord ." (Isaiah 65:1-25)
The above verses, not eternity; It is a period of 1000 years. Because building a house, There are still plantings. There are also deaths and curses. Human lifespan will be extended to 1000 years. for A hundred years old and dead, because he was called a child; The old man is ten times the young man. It will last up to 1000 years. Food and water are abundant. They will not have all the social problems they are experiencing now. joy It is a time when they will live in peace. They will be healthy. It will be peaceful. the beast is no more; In the animal world, No more eating each other. because Christ Himself rules; This world is like the kingdom of heaven. It is called a new heaven and a new earth. What Christ taught " Let the state be established " will be the end of the world. It is the best of the three periods. That time is not far away.

eras
I have learned that this world is divided into three periods. Those three periods can be further divided into eight periods. If the times change, the way God governs people changes. The eight ages in this world are -
1. Innocence Dispensation (Genesis 1:1-3)
2. Conscience Dispensation in the Age of Conscience (Genesis 3:8-8:22)
3. Human Government Dispensation (World 8-11)
4. The Promised Age Patriarchal Promise or Patriarchal Dispensation (Genesis 12-Exodus 18)
5. Dispensation of Law (Exodus 19 - Acts 1)
6. Church Age Dispensation of Church (Acts 2 - Revelation 3)
get. Antichrist Dispensation (Revelation 6-19)
8. a thousand years Messianic Millennial Dispensation (Revelation 20-6)
1. Innocence Dispensation (Genesis 1:1-3)
This age is God's, From the time Adam and Eve were created until they fell into sin, Not sure how long. This age is an age that follows God's purpose of creation. Because people are innocent, there were no social problems at all. Because man is holy, he can have fellowship with God and fear, shame No worries. Not to die healthy. no clothes, It is convenient because it is surrounded by God's glory. Animals are not harmed, Can live with people. No need to work Food is ready. A very good time. The closest thing to that era will be again in the millennial era. This is the age when Adam and Eve did not listen to God. By eating the forbidden fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, it ended.
2. Conscience Dispensation (Genesis 3:8 to 8:22)
In this age, because two people eat the fruit of the knowledge of good and bad, From the time we fell into sin, It is the interval between the time of Noah's flood. In this age, people live according to their conscience. During this period, murder also began. They also made sacrifices to God. agriculture breeding Arts also started. Because the people of this age also deal with fallen angels, There are also big people (Genesis 6). Because all the thoughts of man's heart were always evil, God put an end to it by sending a flood. Only Noah and his family of eight built an ark and lived because they listened to God. All the people in the world today are the descendants of those eight people.
3. Dispensation of Human Government (Earth 8 to 11)
This era begins with Noah and his family. It means the time when the tower of Babylon was built. Although Noah and his family worshiped the Lord, Their descendants quickly abandoned God, They worship idols. That is no wonder; Not only did he see the miraculous signs of God in Egypt, The Red Sea is also allowed to pass through in one night. Those who ate manna bread from heaven and water from the rock quickly abandoned God and worshiped idols, didn't they? The children of pastors who serve God, Don't they go astray without believing in God? Therefore, Noah's descendants also worshiped idols and built the Babylonian tower. The era of human rule ended with evil by God's making it impossible for people to divide and unite.
4. The Promised Age Dispensation of Grace or Patriarchal (Genesis 12 to Exodus 18)
This age is among those who worship idols. It started with God choosing Abram. God asked Abram to go from Ur to the land of Canaan. Although he promised to give that land, He wandered around like a guest and died. God's promise to Abraham's son Isaac, His grandson Jacob was also incomplete. He wanted to change Jacob's name to Israel and send seventy members of his family to Egypt through famine. Although they came to that land as royalty, The latter ends with slavery in Egypt. This era lasted for 430 years.
5. Dispensation of Law (Exodus 19 to Acts 1)
This is the time when the Israelites were enslaved in Egypt by God. saved by Moses, From the time the commandment was given on Mount Sinai, On the day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit descended, The establishment of the church is an interval. This era lasted roughly 1500 years. God raised the nation of Israel; For use as priests for the globe. He intended to tell the Gentiles about him, but failed. The Israelites were fed by God, Although they were protected and taken care of, they always opposed God. They only worshiped the gods of the surrounding peoples. Therefore, God often sold them as slaves to the Gentiles. But they don't remember. In the end, Israel was enslaved by the Assyrians. Judah was taken as a slave to Babylon. Israel did not return to God. They were lost among the nations. The Jews repented and God called them back to the land of Canaan, but they could no longer live with their own rulers and were taken over by foreigners. The Jews who returned repented and were strong on God's side. They try not to understand God's will. Therefore, many Bibles have been copied, Those who copied the Bible were called scribes. Carefully study those scriptures, A class appeared that interpreted and practiced it the most and were called the Pharisees. When God's side was so angry, Lord Jesus became human and spoke to them to correct them. They did not accept him and killed him on the cross. Because they killed the Son of God. God killed them by using Roman soldiers in AD 10 and concluded by fleeing to the land just like the survivors.
6. Church Age Dispensation of Church (Acts 2 to Rev. 3)
Although the Israelites were zealous on God's side, Because he killed his son without knowing God's will. God no longer chooses only one nation. He established the church by giving the Holy Spirit to those who believed in him from among the various peoples. That church, beginning on the day of Pentecost, was commissioned to declare God's praises (1 Peter 2:9) and to testify about salvation (Matthew 28:19-20, Acts 1:8). Although the church was started by the people of Israel in the beginning, Later they became foreigners. The church also did not listen to God's words like the people of Israel. They only want to feel the goodness and worship only with their mouths and not with their hearts. Therefore, most of the churches will fall into the tribulation period. He will be judged. Only the true church, when the Lord Jesus comes, He will be caught up to heaven (1 Corinthians 15:51-53, 1 Thessalonians 4:14-18). We are the last people in this church age. It is very important to participate in the rapture when Christ comes soon. In the church age, there was a little rapture. Most of them will end by entering the great tribulation period.
get. Dispensation of Antichrist (Revelation 6 to 19)
This age is exactly two years from the rapture of the true church until Christ's second coming. That time was called the Great Tribulation. God's enemy, the false Christ, the Antichrist, will rule the world. This age is very short, but it will be very difficult because it is the time when God pours out His wrath on the people of this world who do not believe in Him. Although there are believers in God in this age, It is a time when salvation will come only through the cutting of the neck. At that time, as Satan always defied God and wanted to rule the world, he ruled the world with all his might. When Christ comes as king the second time, It will end with the judgment of Satan and his people. He threw Satan into the deepest pit for a thousand years. Antichrist and false prophets alive, He will be thrown into the eternal lake of fire. This age is described in detail in Revelation chapters 6 through 19.
8. a thousand years Messianic Millennial Dispensation (Rev. 20)
This era is from the time when Christ came as king the second time. He will rule this world for a thousand years. In this age, Christ will rule the world with a rod of iron. The true church will rule with Christ as queen. In this era, the human life span will be extended to a thousand years. Everyone will be healthy. Only those who do not listen will be cursed and die. There is no more war, and military equipment must be used as plowing tools. They will eat abundantly. Animals are no longer beasts, They will live together. There will be no more suffering from war and it will be a very good time (Isaiah 2, 4, 9, 11, 65). But when the thousand years are over, He released Satan from prison and deceived people. They will attack Christ. They will be slain by fire from heaven. Then, with the White Throne Judgment (Revelation 20), this age will end and continue forever.
By knowing these times, a person can know that the race is bad. People often think that committing a sin is Because there was no food and water, Because the environment is bad, Because of bad governance. Because they don't have knowledge, they give various excuses. However, no matter how good the situation is, people cannot be bad. That is because people are bad. Therefore, God's salvation is necessary. Because man was born in Adam, They are sinners like Adam. No matter how much he teaches, Troubled but not bad. But if a man is in Christ, He is a new creature, and the old things pass away. All things are new (2 Corinthians 5:1). If you are not in Christ, you are old and cannot be good. Even if it is good in human eyes, It cannot be bad in God's eyes. Therefore, come to Jesus to become a new person. Jesus said, " He that cometh to me I will not cast away ." (John 6:3) said. Again, He said to Zacchaeus, " The Son of Man has come to seek and save the lost. " (Luke 19:10). Therefore, come to Jesus with all your heart right now.

Spiritual day and night
" Besides, the grace that saves us; because it is nearer now than in the day of our faith; It was almost night. because the day is near, Now we know that the time has come to wake up from sleep. Based on the time period, Remove the works of darkness. Let us put on the armor of light. partying drinking alcohol clinging to fornication; impurity of passion, fight Avoiding matters of honor and competition. As beautiful as in the day, Let us act. Take up the Lord Jesus Christ and wear it. Do not plan for the lust of the flesh .” (Romans 13:11-14)
In the above passage, Paul said, the grace that saves us; than the day we believe is near; because now it is nearer; It is said. Then the grace that saves us What does it mean? that thing It is the permanent salvation from this world. It means the day of rapture. the day we believe, It means the day of acceptance of salvation. Therefore, in other words, the rapture day, than the day when everyone realizes their salvation It means closer.
Night time
It was almost night. Because it was almost day time, said again. This does not mean physical world day and night. It means spiritual day and night. To know that, the sun and light, It is necessary to know the darkness.
God is light
The Bible says, " God is light ." (1 John 1:5) said. Jesus said, " I am the light of the world. Those who follow me He did not come and go in the dark. He said that he will receive the light of life ." (John 8:12). Therefore, where God is is light or day. Before Adam and Eve sinned, This world was light. God ruled. However, from the time the husband and wife listened to Satan, This world was overwhelmed by darkness. It was light when Christ was born. Therefore, while Christ was in Galilee, It is written in the Bible that it is light. " The road near the lake, which is the district of Zebulun and the district of Naphtali. on the other side of the Jordan River Galilee of the Gentiles The people who are in darkness, He saw a great light; Light has come to those who are in the shadow of the kingdom of death .” (Matthew 4:15-16).
The work of light
that light makes all things manifest; Paul wrote, " All that is sin is revealed by the light. And all things that manifest It is light .” (Ephesians 5:13). One of the reasons why Christ was killed was to reveal the sin of the people. If he is there, people will not sin. All sin is done in the dark. Because they killed Christ. The world was covered in darkness again.
Believers are light
Those who believe in Christ are called light. Christ said, " You are the light of the world ." (Matthew 5:14) said. Paul said, " In the days above, you were a promise of darkness. But now They are light in the Lord. Therefore, they are acting like children of light ." (Ephesians 5:8) said. Why can believers be light? because Because believers have the Holy Spirit in them. Believers They are those who will shine in the darkness on behalf of God. Therefore, this world is still night, not day.
The night is divided into four parts
It is known that this world is a dark night. Is it evening then? Is it midnight? Is it almost dawn? Christ said, As for when he will come, For example, he warned, " When a man intends to go to another country, he entrusts his house to his younger sons. They managed the work they had to do individually. He left after ordering the gatekeeper to wait. The host is in the evening; midnight When the chicken is plucked, Keep waiting, because you don't know when it will come in the morning. Or he will come unexpectedly and find you asleep. As I told you to wait, He said, "I say to all ." (Mark 13:34-3). One person is Christ Himself. Children are believers. Christ divided the night into four parts in his parable. in the evening midnight When the chicken is plucked, Morning time.
Evening time
Evening time means the time from sunset to about 9 o'clock. At that time, no one was sleeping. The elders also spoke. Because children also play, It's still noisy. In the history of the church, Evening time is the time when church begins. It means from 33 AD to about 313 AD. At that time, the believers They live for faith. Living for Christ More important than work. Believers Sacrifice for faith. By torture and slaughter; not sleeping at all in the spirit; They work faithfully. At that time, the host Christ did not come.
Midnight time
At midnight everyone slept. No more noise in cities and villages. They sleep quietly. At that time in the history of the church, It represents the period from AD 313 to 151. In AD 313, the Roman Emperor Constantine and his soldiers; Entering Christianity without knowing the salvation and truth of Christ. They stopped persecuting Christians. Not only does it give freedom, When exalted, Christians stop talking about salvation and truth. They fell asleep in spirit. At that time, very few people will be saved. At that time, The host Christ did not come.
When the chicken is plucked
When the rooster crows, Around 2-4 in the morning is the time for roosters to crow. At that time, only the elders could hear the cock crowing. because the young ones are asleep; They don't hear the roosters crowing. The crowing of the rooster indicates the time. You can tell the time by looking at the sun during the day. However, not only is there no sun at night, People are sleeping and it is dark. At that time, God asked to know the time. Roosters are forced to crow. When the rooster crows, only large roosters crow. Roosters only crow in the morning. The Rooster era refers to the period in church history from about AD 151 to 1900. At that time, the leading revolutionaries who revealed the truth, such as Martin Luther, John Calvin, and Huldrych Zwingli, appeared. They are not saved by works. They began to reveal that it was through faith. " The righteous shall live by faith " (Habakkuk 2:4; Rom 1:1; Gal 3:11; Heb 10:38). After that, missionaries also appeared, and missionaries were sent all over the world to preach salvation. Prominent missionaries are: John Wesley, George Whitefield, William Carey, Adoniram Judson, George Muller, David Livingstone, Hudson Taylor. However, at that time, Christ the host did not come.
Morning time
Morning time means from about four o'clock in the morning until dawn. In winter, the morning star often rises early in the morning. Only those who rise early in the morning can see the morning star. Dreamers do not see the rain and the stars. The morning star was only visible for a short time and disappeared when the sun rose. Those who sleep and rot get up only when the sun rises.
morning star
Spiritual morning is from about 1900 AD until the second coming of Christ. Now is the time when the morning star is about to rise. It is necessary to distinguish between sunrise and morning star. The morning star is Christ. Christ Himself " I am It is the root of David. It is also a tribe. It is also a bright morning star .” (Revelation 22:16) said. Why Christ What is the morning star? the morning star The most prominent star in the morning. Christ is like the morning star in the morning. He will come to rapture the saints. Then the one who gets up early Only those who are saved Will be taken to heaven. But those who are not saved, that is, those who sleep and rot. will remain. Are you a rotten sleeper?
Christ is the Sun King
Christ is also the Sun King. When Christ comes the second time, Everyone in the world will see it. He himself warned this; " They say Christ is in the wilderness, but do not go out. in the apartment but do not believe it. Just as lightning flashes from the east and shines to the west. Man will come. Where the carcass is, the vultures will gather. The suffering and suffering of that time will suddenly be foolish. The moon gives no color. The stars will fall from heaven. The powers of heaven will be shaken. Then the sign of man will appear in the sky. All the people on the earth wept and mourned; Man carries great majesty and majesty. They will see him coming riding on clouds. The Son of Man sent his messengers; He caused the trumpet to be blown loudly. They are the four sides of those whom God has chosen. They will be called and gathered from all around the world ." (Matthew 24:26-31) He said.
At the second coming of Christ, the sun will be darkened. Then Christ came with glory and power. It will be like the rising of the sun. When the sun rises, it shines everywhere, just as it cannot exist without knowing. It will be when Christ comes the second time. What Christ will rise like the sun is also seen in the Old Testament. " The days will come when they will burn like fire in an oven. All the proud and all who do evil will be dry dung. That day will burn so that they will not be left with a fever. said the Lord of hosts. But to you who fear my name, He is the king of law. He will appear with healing wings. You will go out and jump like calves in a stall. On the day of my judgment they will be like dust under your feet. said the Lord of hosts ." (Malachi 4:1).
A day that burns like fire in a furnace; It means the time of great tribulation. Now in the time of the great tribulation of the proud and the wicked. Like dry garbage, no root will be left behind. That means they will die without even their history and names. God-fearing Israelites; During the great calamity, he was saved by the protection of God. When Christ came the second time as the sun, They will leap like calves in a stall. In the stable, the calves jump because they are not tethered. It means freedom and joy.
sleep
How do people sleep? seeking the things of this world; By following the natural desires; are sleeping. Many people Focused only on working. They are sleeping by making money. Tired of working, can't find time for spirituality. Being disinterested is sleeping. Students also By focusing on schoolwork, In the spiritual part, they are sleeping without waking up at all. Some people are political, and with ethnic pursuits. and by the pursuit of pleasure; Spiritually, it cannot be awakened. They are sleeping all over. Many people use drugs, drinking alcohol, pursuing sports; Through the pursuits of men and women, are sleeping. The sleepers who are more difficult to recognize than those, not saved; Although he did not know the truth, Pursuing God singing praises to God; He who preaches The officials. Moreover, even though he was saved, The servants who lust after the things of the world are also asleep. They dream when they sleep. There are feelings in dreams, When he woke up, it was as if there was nothing. Things that are now sought after and tasted, When Christ comes, Like a dream, everything will disappear. Those who are sleeping like that, He doesn't care about what Christ will come. I don't know, If they say, they only make jokes. Christ will not lift them up. Are you still asleep?

Why did you take it?
Some people and teachers say there will be no rapture. Because those people will not participate in the Rapture. That is to say. Only Enoch and Elijah were raptured in the Bible. There is no public transport yet. Some people do not just have to be born again to participate in the Rapture. drinking behavior They preached that only those with pure thoughts and actions will participate. Therefore, for whom is the rapture? Let's find out who will be involved.
God's household
The great tribulation period, God said, It is time to pour out wrath upon the world. In the Bible, " The days will come when they will burn like fire in an oven. All the proud and all who work iniquity will be put to shame. so that none of their roots would remain. That day will burn; said the Lord of hosts ." It is written (Malachi 4:1). that burning day It means the time of great tribulation. Again, " King of the world, nobleman commander boss he is rich From mighty men to servants, All the free men are in the pit, and in the rocks on the mountain. He was hiding. those mountains Calling the stones, Fall upon us. hid the face of Him who sat on the throne and the wrath of the Lamb; Cover us. The day of his wrath has come. They said, "Who can stand? " It is written (Revelation 6:15-1).
That God When he pours out his wrath on the earth, His household I do not want to feel His wrath with the people of the world. Before the cities of Dom and Gomorrah, which are great sins, were destroyed by fire. The righteous Lot's family, He was rescued by two angels. Likewise, God Before the tribulation period, His household From this world to heaven It will be carried to safety. Paul said, " God has not appointed us to bear His wrath. He appointed us to be saved through our Lord Jesus Christ .” It is written (1 Thessalonians 5:9)
Therefore, those who will participate in the rapture are the sons of God, Only his household. because of good deeds Because the drink is pure. Not because God tried. When moving house When he moved from town to village, When he moved abroad, They only take their family. When he moved like that, Not every cute kid is taken. The family moved home. Change village When he changed his place, he was holy. able to work Not only the useful ones have to change. Children who cannot clean themselves, unable to work Disabled family members also have to move. When parents rent a nice house, Leaving the children who scribbled on the wall and did not move, If they don't, they don't change at all. Why do children and disabled people have to move? Because he is a family member. Therefore, to participate in the Rapture, It is only necessary to be a member of God's household. It is necessary for a clean life. God's will. Those whose lives are not pure Although he will participate in the rapture, They are those who will not receive God's praise.
Only through birth
because no one does good; because it is beautiful You don't have to be a parent's child just because you're cute. To be a family member, Need to be born from parents. No matter how ugly it is, Despite his disability, Although he was disobedient and wicked, If born from a mother, it becomes a family member. Every person born of the flesh and blood of two parents; are family members.
through the second birth
In the same way, to be a child of God, It is necessary for the second birth through the soul. Then how to be born as a child of God? Birth is the work of the child; Not trying at all. nine months in the mother's womb; He was born when the time was right. To be born as God's children, The Bible says, " He is the one who accepts him. To those who believe in him, He gave the right to be a son of God. But those sons He is not a son born to a nation. Not a son born of Gemini. It is not a child born by man. Begotten Son of God .” (John 1:12-13) Being a son of God is the same. By believing and accepting the Lord Jesus Christ, The above verse says. All Christians believe and accept the Lord Jesus Christ. Then are all the sons of God? It doesn't happen. How then?
May God give birth
Birth is a change in behavior; Not by trying to do something good. To be able to give birth, it must first be in the mother's womb. In the same way, to be born again must be in Christ. When everyone was born from their mother's womb, the son of Adam, sinner They are born as Satan. No one is born a child of God. to men who are not his sons; God's house, He will not enter the kingdom of heaven. the sky To be able to enter God's house, You must be a child of God first. In order to be born as God's son, Humans who are sons of Adam were put into Jesus. The Bible says, " By God you stand in Jesus Christ ." He said (1 Corinthians 1:30). It must be accepted by faith to be added to Jesus Christ. Why did God say, Do you put people in Jesus Christ? How to count Son of Adam Son of Satan If you are a sinner, you do not belong to God. Can't listen to God. Therefore, son of Adam, Son of Satan To end the sinner, put in Jesus Christ; He was crucified with him (Rom 6:6, Gal 2:20). After he died, he was buried in a tomb (Romans 6:4). That is called baptism. After that, when Jesus Christ rose, Risen with new life. The resurrected person is a new man (Rom 6:4, 2 Cor 5:1) and a son of God. That is not through human action. Not by human will. It is what God did through Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 5:18, John 1:13). God said through Jesus Christ, To be born must be accepted by faith.
Comparison of physical and spiritual birth
When the body is born, Only the mother felt pain, and the child did not know anything. At the time of spiritual birth, only Christ was wounded. The person feels nothing. Just as a mother sheds blood when she gives birth to her body, when she gives birth to her soul, Only Christ shed blood. As the body was born first, and later it was known. The birth of the soul also happens first and is known later. Just as a body cannot be born without a mother. Without Christ, there is no spiritual birth. Only those born in the body As he can enter this world. Only those who are spiritually born He has the right to enter the kingdom of heaven. When the body is born, Born as a child, impure, can't work as needed for growth When the soul is born, Being a child of spirit, There is no purity, can't work Need to grow. When the body is born, Everything that belongs to the parent belongs to the child. Children don't know everything that belongs to their parents. It is not used yet, but it is his legacy. In the same way, in the family of God, When born through Christ, All things that belong to God are inherited by the Son. Therefore, whether young or big or small whether it is clean or not. whether unclean or Father God's Kingdom It is the inheritance of those who are born of the Spirit (Romans 8:1).
Corinthians
The Corinthians were also not clean. Living in the flesh and being children in the spirit (1 Corinthians 3:1-3). But Paul said that they In the rapture, It is written, " When the last horn blew, In the twinkling of an eye, We must all be changed. When it was time to blow the horn, The dead Standing incorruptible, he rose up. all we have They will have to change .” (1 Corinthians 15:51-52). Therefore, in the rapture, every member of God's household, Every child of any size In any situation, Will participate. If not, Because the royal family didn't check.
Clean
Because he is sure to participate in the rapture, Not to do what I want to do. Children are the face of their parents. If the children are good, they will have the face of their parents. If it's not good, the face of the parents will be smeared with dirt. Therefore, if he is a child in spirit, he is unclean. They defiled the Father's face. Children tend to put everything they find on the floor into their mouths. In the same way, only a spiritual birth is born. children who do not grow They do not abhor unclean things. Things that defile the soul. Paul wrote, " The works of the flesh are manifest. But those actions sinning against his wife; clinging to fornication; acting impurely; Transgression of passion Idol worship eating others Enmity fight competing for honor anger arguing different from each other separation Jealousy of his benefit, killing people, Binge drinking It has been like that since the feast ." (Galatians 5:19-21). want to do the above, If you are still doing it, or a child of spirit, not yet born in spirit, It is obvious that he is a native.
There will be four stages in the rapture
Most of God's children; He will be taken up by the fourth level. That is sad. As time passed, They should be those who grow and mature in spirit. Grown-up people help their parents with their work. Those who are spiritually mature, He did the work that God asked him to do. They will live a holy life. Not only in rapture, Not with childhood, Let's be those who participate with a mature life.

Soldiers back
Whether the soldiers of the world are fighting in the front line or not. Don't fight for the rest of your life. They tend to go back to the battalion in the rear. In the same way, the soldiers of Jesus It is necessary to return from this world to the heavenly headquarters. The time to go back is on the Day of Rapture.
A good soldier in Jesus Christ
Everyone who believes in Jesus Christ, Paul wrote that Jesus was soldiers. Paul to his spiritual son Timothy, " My son, Be strong in the grace that is in Jesus Christ. and the things which I have heard from many witnesses. To teach others full of truth. Give it to those who are capable. For that purpose, As a good soldier in Jesus Christ Endure suffering. But who is a warrior? that he might please him who appointed him as a soldier. It tends to remove worldliness and confusion .” (2 Timothy 2:1-4) wrote.
Paul promised that Jesus was a soldier. Because it was Jesus who appointed him as a soldier. He warned us not to get mixed up with worldly affairs to please Jesus. All believers are soldiers of Jesus. However, they did not know themselves to be soldiers. They only want to produce food. From now on, he knew that he was a soldier. Let's fight!
Order to fight
Paul said, " My son Timothy, You have relied on the words of the prophet that was spoken about you. and faith and the clarity of self-awareness. to fight the good war According to the prophecy that was left, I give you the right to make the commandments that I mentioned above ." (1 Timothy 1:18) and " Fight the good fight of faith ." (1 Timothy 6:12) He ordered to fight. Because he was in the enemy's territory. Because they are helping people to be saved. Satan will attack. Therefore, everyone who believes It is necessary to attack the enemy Satan.
Paul himself
Paul did not only ask Timothy to fight; He wrote that he also attacked himself. I have fought a good fight. He has run to the end of the road. I have kept the faith .” (2 Timothy 4:9). It is also written in the Corinthian church, " If the dead do not rise, In Ephesus, in worldly terms, Although I fought with the beasts above, What is the benefit? let us eat let us drink Tomorrow they will die .” (1 Corinthians 15:32). Paul said that he fought with beasts in Ephesus. The beast he spoke of was not an animal beast. Because he did not like the truth about salvation that he preached, It means the Jews who attacked him. Ephesus is in Asia. What they suffered in that city was written like this: " Brothers, It seemed that we could not escape the suffering that we suffered in the land of Asia. We do not want you to be ignorant of the fact that you are suffering more than you can bear. We never trust in ourselves; Let them die, that they may trust in God, who raiseth the dead. It's like being judged by yourself. That God has saved us from such a great death. Even now, he has saved the House of Representatives ." (2 Corinthians 1:8-10). Therefore, when Paul told Timothy to fight, It was found that he himself had fought.
Lord Jesus also fought
When the Lord Jesus came to this world as a human being, He fought with others every day. John said, " He came to his own country, but His people did not accept him ." (John 1:11) wrote. Again, " The Jews said, You are a Samaritan. He is also possessed by demons. They said, "Isn't what we said appropriate? " (John 8:48). If you read on, " Then the Jews again picked up stones to stone him. Jesus said, I have shown you my Father's authority and many good works. For which of these cases will they stone me? He asked, The Jews said, A good deed will not be stoned. You, being a man, pretend to be God; They say they will be stoned for speaking against God ." (John 10:31-33) " They brought to him a blind man possessed by a demon." He saved the blind man so that he could see and speak. And all the multitudes shared their thoughts. This will be the son of David . They said. 24 When the Pharisees heard it, It is said that this man casts out demons by the power of Beelzebub ." (Matthew 12:22-24)
Jesus said to the Jews, " You are descended from your father the devil." They follow the will of your father. The devil is the one who kills people from the beginning. Because he does not have truth, he does not abide in truth. When he tells a lie, he tells it according to his own words. He is a man who walks in lies. He is also the father of lies .” (John 8:44) said. And Jesus said, " Dear serpents, How can you speak good things when you are evil? He speaks as his heart is full ." (Matthew 12:34) said. Why did the Lord and the Jews Why do they always attack like that? Because they are enemies. In the end, they killed Jesus. Jesus did not come for luxury in enemy territory, but fought.
Believers
Paul wrote to the Ephesian church that those who believe in Jesus are soldiers of Jesus. " We are not fighting against flesh and blood enemies. and with the nobles. and with the authorities. And with you who reign in the darkness of the world. and with the devils that dwell in the heavens. They had to turn the shop upside down ." (Ephesians 6:12). So those who believe You should fight every day in enemy territory. Therefore, “ Jesus said, If he wants to devote himself to me, he must deny himself. Take up your cross and follow me. 25 Whoever wishes to save his life, He will lose his life. Whoever loses his life because of me, He will find life .” (Matthew 16:24-25) He said. You can lose your life in battle. Therefore, it is said to suffer loss in order not to lose life. " What you are going to do is As lambs into a flock of wild dogs, I send you out ." (Luke 10:3) He also said. Again, " Go and make disciples of all nations. Father son Baptize in the name of the Holy Spirit .” (Matthew 28:19) and " You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you; Judea from Jerusalem Samaria They will be my witnesses to the ends of the earth. (Acts 1:8) Why is power needed? Because it is necessary to fight the enemy. Therefore, it is not for believers to be blessed and enjoy luxury. Not to do what I want, It is to fight the war that the Lord has asked.
For the enemy to know
When fighting, it is necessary to know the enemy well. If you don't know the enemy in advance, there is a lot to lose. Paul wrote and warned the enemy of the believing Jesus soldiers. " We are not fighting against flesh and blood enemies. and with the nobles. and with the authorities. And with you who rule in the darkness of the world. and with the devils in the heavens. They have to fight against each other .” (Ephesians 6:12). The enemy has no flesh and blood, Because they are demons, they cannot fight with natural weapons. The weapons used by believers are; Bachelor's Degree in Bible English proficiency money manpower having discipline trying Human understanding, worldly knowledge buildings and cars; electronics; Technologies. With those things, Satan's evil spirits cannot be defeated at all. The scribes, the Pharisees, Sadducees The priests used it and failed.
The weapon to be used
The greatest of the soldiers of Jesus, The most effective weapon is God himself. When he attacked Satan, Without relying on human abilities, You must trust only in the Lord. In the Bible, Jehovah is our strength. It is written as strength. " The Lord is my strength, He is my protection. My heart trusts in that god, and he watches over me. My heart is joyful, I will sing and praise your glory .” (Psalm 28:7) " God is our refuge and our strength." It is clear that he helped especially during times of calamity. , (Psalm 46:1) " The Lord is my strength ." (Habakkuk 3:19) " The Lord is my strength, I sing He is the one who saves me .” (Exodus 15:2) “ Do not be afraid. I am on your side. do not be afraid. I, your God, will strengthen you. I will wait for you. I will support you with my faithful right hand. Those who are angry with you will be ashamed and disgraced. As if those who fought against you were nothing. They will be completely destroyed. You will not find those who oppose you. As if those who fought against you were nothing. They will be like nothing. for The Lord your God said, Don't worry. Telling you that I will not start, I will hold your right hand .” (Isaiah 41:10-13)
These verses are not just for knowledge; Not just for preaching, It is a place of refuge against the enemy Satan and his people. When a person preaches, either at church or Although they say to rely on God, When attacked by a real enemy, They no longer rely on God, but rely only on man. " Relying in the Lord is better than trusting in man." Taking refuge in the Lord is better than trusting in you. All nations surround me; In the name of the Lord, they were cut off. they surrounded me, They were surrounded, but in the name of the Lord, they were cut off. They swarmed around me like bees. They are extinguished like a fire that consumes a thorn . In the name of the Lord, they will be cut off. (Psalm 118:8-12) Paul said, " Brothers, and by the Lord God and by the speed of his power Be strong .” (Ephesians 6:10) said.
A god-given weapon
The weapons that will be used in battle. The servant had to install it. Paul said, " Who shall bear the war at his own expense ?" (1 Cor. 9: 9) said. Therefore, it is written that the weapon is also equipped by God himself. " To resist the wiles of the devil, Put on the full armor of God. for We are not fighting against flesh and blood enemies. and with the nobles. and with the authorities. And with the princes who rule in the darkness of the world. and with the devils in the heavens. They had to fight against each other. Because of this, he was able to resist during the difficult and evil days. To be able to finish all matters and endure. Take the armor that God has prepared. girded with the belt of truth, Wearing the breastplate of righteousness, To preach the gospel of peace. Stand with the foundation of preparedness. Able to protect against the incendiary weapon fired by the devil, Take the shield of faith over all your weapons. and the helmet of salvation. Take the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God .” (Ephesians 6:11-16) The weapons provided by God
Belt of truth
Truth means truth. The truth is the word of God. It means the idea. Paul said, " But you He who confessed without reason to be ashamed; Being a teacher who correctly discerns the truth, Strive to present yourselves before God .” (2 Timothy 2:15) He commanded Timothy. Without understanding the counsel of God, which is the truth, If you use your own ideas to serve God, It will be the opposite. And Paul In Saul's life, he tried very hard for God, but Christ said, Didn't he say, " Why do you persecute me ?" (Acts 9:4) Christ's persecution of him " It's hard to kick a stick with your feet ." (Acts 26:14) said. Therefore, in order to defeat Satan, he must know the truth. John said, " As you walk in truth, About the truth that you have. When the brothers came and testified, I am very happy. My children Rather than rejoicing when I hear that you are walking in the truth, There is no greater joy .” (3 John 3-4) said. ...
The breastplate that is the gift of righteousness
Soldiers wear breastplates. Because the chest is the widest target area in the body, Usually targets the enemy tank. In spirituality, Righteousness is very important. The righteousness that God gives is Jesus Christ Himself (1 Corinthians 1:30). Christ is our righteousness before God. But people can't see that. To be righteous in front of people is our behavior. If the conduct is not correct, Satan's people supported that weakness. Losses may occur when attacking. And that behavior is not an effort by nature. It must be the righteousness obtained through the rule of the Holy Spirit. The enemy cannot harm that righteous person.
A base prepared for evangelism
Evangelism is the basic weapon of Jesus' soldiers. Because most believers today do not preach the gospel, They are being bullied by the enemy. However, because they did not know that, when they spoke to preach the gospel, They give various excuses. Preaching the gospel It is the work of preachers, I don't preach, not strong They show various reasons that they do not understand the Bible. The gospel is that Jesus said, It is simply about saving sinners. If used by the Spirit, people will change. Therefore, preaching the gospel is fighting against Satan; It is very important because it snatches people out of Satan's hands.
Faith alone
Faith is compared to a crow. The incendiary weapon fired by the devil can be killed by faith alone. The devil uses people, Gossip blaming threatening When they do the destruction, If you have faith, you will not be completely depressed. You can continue to live the Christian life. This faith is not salvation faith, It is the belief that God will see victory in battle. Faith is not self-belief. Trust in God. Why are so many believers lost? Why can't they serve? do not believe in God Fascinated by the world, Because it is natural and alive. and make peace with God forever; And those who do His will, Trust and trust. They also get success.
The helmet of salvation
This salvation is not something that is newly believed. It means God's salvation in fighting against Satan in daily life. There are three types of salvation. The death of Jesus Christ has saved us from the judgment of sin. Still saved from the temptation of sin in daily life. He will be saved from the world of sin on the rapture day. The soul has been saved on the cross. In daily life, he is still saving his mind and body depending on his faith. On the day of the Rapture, the body and mind will be completely saved, completely sick, There will be no more despair. While living in this world, God said, To be saved from the temptation of sin and the problem of the body, we need to approach God.
The word is the sword of the Spirit
The military weapons mentioned above are; Defensive weapons used for self-defense. The Word is the weapon of the Spirit. If you hold it, the enemy will not attack you at close range. You can kill the enemy with a sword. Likewise, the word is a weapon that Satan fears. The Bible says, "The word of God is life, power and repair; Strong and full of sharpness above all. and life and soul. Bone joints and marrow are divided and spread out. He also knows the thoughts of the heart." (Heb 4:12) said. Jesus also defeated Satan with His Word (Matthew 4:1-11). understand the word correctly; Not only can Satan not harm those who walk in life, Satan can be defeated.

Diplomatic withdrawal
When one country and another country went to war, They tend to withdraw diplomatic teams in advance. The tribulation period is a war between heaven and earth. War among earthlings It's a time of heavenly wars. The earth was created by God; It was handed over to Adam to rule. The Bible says, "Brothers, Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and conquer it. and the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and every living thing that moveth upon the earth; He said to them, ``Govern them.'' He blessed them.” (Genesis 1:28). However, Adam and Eve denied the right to rule this world. He sold the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil to Satan by listening to him to eat. Therefore, this world is ruled by Satan. This is found in the Bible; "The devil took Jesus to a high place, He showed all the nations in the world in one moment. 6 All this glory, power, and majesty have been entrusted to me. I am encouraged by those who are willing to give, and He will encourage me. He said, "If you worship me, all these things will be yours." (Luke 4:5 - R). When he said that, Jesus said to Satan, He did not deny that he did not rule and did not own, so he admitted that this world belonged to Satan.
In addition, Jesus said, "Now the world is judged. Now the ruler of this world will be cast out.” (John 12:31) and
"The ruler of this world is yet to come. He came, but he found no opportunity in me." (John 14:30) said. Therefore, it is clear that this world belongs to Satan.
Paul said, "Those who do not believe that So that the color of the gospel, which is full of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, does not give light. The god who rules this world blinds their eyes of understanding.” (2 Corinthians 4:4) is written. Because this world belongs to Satan, it is an enemy territory for God. It is written that the people of this world are Satan's people. "And we know that the whole world is in the power of the devil." (1 John 5:19). Paul wrote that the people of the world are manipulated by Satan. "You follow the law of the upper world, and according to the will of the soul, which is embroidered in those who refuse to be the ruler of the power of space and heaven. They walk in iniquity; God has given life to you who are dead in that sin.” (Ephesians 2:1-2).
The people of the world are slaves of Satan. It is found that "Because those children have intercourse with flesh and blood, Through Christ's death, To break and destroy the power of the devil, who is the ruler of death. To deliver those who were enslaved all their lives in fear of death, He took the same flesh and blood as those children." (Hebrews 2:14-15) Jesus said that Israel is the son of Satan. "You are descended from your father the devil." They follow the will of your father." (John 8:44).
Therefore, humans are God's enemies. But because God loves mankind, By letting his son Jesus Christ die at the hands of his enemy, Satan, he has given us the opportunity to end the fight with him. Paul said, "Through the death of the Son of God, even though he was an enemy, If we have received the grace of reconciliation with God, (Romans 5:10)
"God put an end to our enmity through Jesus Christ and reconciled us to Him." He gave us the opportunity to preach that message of reconciliation. 19 That law is God is in Christ. He does not remember the sins of the people of the world. He put an end to the enmity and made peace with him." (2 Corinthians 5:18-19). That is how God forgave the sins of mankind and made peace with him. the wanted. Paul continued, "He also entrusted us with the law of reconciliation. 20 Therefore we are Christ's ambassadors. (2 Corinthians 5:20).
To stop people from hearing each other
13 Although you are far above, Now in Jesus Christ and through His blood we have come near. 14-15 How? That Lord is our reconciliation. He removed from his body the enmity, which is the law related to the ritual system. He broke down the dividing wall and made the two nations one. for When the fight is over, 16 He prepared those two groups to become one new people. He killed those two groups of people who were one, by means of the cross. To make peace with God. 17 That Christ also came; To you who are far away, and to us who are near He preached the gospel of reconciliation. 18 Thus through Christ we two are one soul. They have received the opportunity to ascend to the Father. (Ephesians 2:13-18)
Believers are ambassadors of Christ. Diplomatic work is to communicate between countries for peaceful settlement. Therefore, the ambassadors of Christ He was given the responsibility to tell about the peace between God and people. As diplomats are in charge of all government food, Jesus' messengers were also fully supplied with food.
But the believers do not know their duty. It is to tell the people that they will no longer be fighting with God, but to tell the truth of peace. Diplomatic work is not easy because it is to talk about peace to those who are quarreling. It's heartwarming. Why do people not want to hear about God? Because they are God's enemies. However difficult it may be, The ambassador must carry out the duty given to him by God. But instead of doing their duty, the ambassadors are in league with Satan's people who rule this world. Instead of fighting Satan, His love for this world, It is sad to see that they cannot do the job of ambassador by owning it.
Whose or God is about to withdraw His ambassadors. Because the tribulation period is a time of many wars. Gogmagogsis described in Eze 38-39 (Revelation 6:5-6); Heavenly War (Rev. 12); Armageddon (Revelation 16, 19); They will fight. Because they will fight such wars, Christ to his messengers; He will be taken to heaven before the battle. Believers who are saved Ambassadors of Christ. Christ will withdraw only His delegation, so those who will participate in the rapture, We need to be ambassadors of Christ.

Workers go home
Rapture is the laborers working all day; Returning home because nightfall. Believers Christ's egg, Those who work in this world. Christ gave an example about that. ...
The Good Servant and the Bad Servant (Matthew 24:45-51)
" The master appointed a guardian to criticize the food at the right time for all his household members. with truth and with prudence, and Who is the perfect servant? 46 The master returned and found the servant doing this. Blessed is that servant. 47 I tell you the truth, The master will give all his possessions to that servant. 48 Or A bad servant will soon come to me. He remembered in his mind, 49 He beat his fellow servants and ate and drank with them. 50 That day that I did not expect, If the Lord comes at an unknown hour, 51 The slave was punished and wept bitterly. He will be placed with the hypocrites in the place of gnashing of teeth. (Matthew 24:45-51)
When Jesus gave the above example, the church had not yet started. Therefore, the example may refer to Israel. But it also means believers who will join the church later. The main thing I want to teach is to do your work with integrity, discretion and dedication. Such a servant is called a blessed servant. We also need to be blessed servants. Remembering in my mind that bad servants will hardly come alive, It is said that he was eating and drinking with those who had beaten his fellow slaves to death. Most Christians today are like that evil servant. careless Don't wait for the time when Lord Jesus will come. Without doing your duty, Are they drinking to death with the people of the world? Should you be like that? Let's try to be a blessed servant.
People who go to another country (Matthew 25:14-30)
" For example, A man had the idea of going to another land. He called his young men and gave them his possessions. As they each have their own strength, One has fifty talents of silver. twenty talents in one, After giving ten talents to one of them, he left immediately. And he that received the fifty talents went and traded. He gained another fifty talents. Likewise, And he that received twenty talents He gained another twenty talents . But he who receives ten talents He went and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master's money. After a long time, the master of the children came. He took a list of them. He who received the fifty talents approached; After another fifty talents, Lord He gave me fifty talents. I have gained another fifty talents, He said. He said, For example, Good faithful servant. You have been faithful in small matters. I will entrust you with many things. He said, "Eat wealth with your Lord." The one who received the twenty talents also approached and said, Lord, You gave me twenty talents. He said, "I have gained the other twenty talents." He said, A good and faithful young man. You have been faithful in small matters. I will entrust you with many things. He said, "Eat wealth with your Lord."
The one who received the ten talents also approached and said, Lord, He is a difficult person. He reaps where he did not sow; I know that he gathers up where he did not scatter; because he was afraid He went elsewhere and hid his ten talents in the ground. He said that he now has his property. He said, wicked lazy boy I reap where I did not sow; If you know that you gather where you did not scatter, I have to hand over my money to the broker. If so When I return, I can get the principal and interest. Therefore, they took ten talents from his hand. Give it to someone who has a hundred talents. Because the car Whoever gets it, It will be given to him to make him rich. Whoever is poor, Everything in him will be taken away. Weeping for that useless young man, Where the grinding of teeth He decreed that they were cast out into outer darkness ." (Matthew 25:14-30)
In the example above, a person who goes to another country, Jesus himself. The other land is heaven. Servants are believers in Jesus. They were entrusted with silver cups according to their merit. Those who have fifty and twenty talents Because they are increasing his wealth, the Lord said, For example, Not only was he praised as a good and faithful servant, He gave the opportunity to experience wealth with his master. because he was faithful in a few things; The Lord said that many things will be given to them. While we live in this world for a while, The Lord wants to increase many. Only souls will ascend from this world to heaven. other things; There is nothing to desire because everything will disappear.
Therefore, through the truth of salvation given by God, Others should be told to be saved. If you are allowed to get funds, You should invest in the work of saving lost souls. The world is not yet a place and time for luxury. Let's do what God gives us.
He who received ten talents of silver, After blaming his master, It is said that ten talents of silver are hidden in the ground. Are you hiding God-given things in the ground today? Hidden in the ground means Spending money on things that will be damaged; Using time and energy. The master called that boy an evil, lazy boy. He said. Most believers today; are included in that group. Mate, Don't want to be a bad lazy boy. There is no benefit. Let's do what the Lord asks. Weeping for that evil and lazy child, Where the grinding of teeth It is said that they were cast out into outer darkness. When you think about it together with salvation, it tends to get complicated. The young man said to the master, It is obvious that he is not a person who trusts the Lord because he dares to see sin.
10 governors 5 governors (Luke 19:11-2)
" Then Jesus came near the city of Salem. The kingdom of God will appear immediately. Because people think that An example of what he said again in the middle of the audience is: A member of parliament wants to receive the king's favor and return to his own land. He went to a far country with his thoughts. Before he went, he called his ten disciples. Give each a pound of silver, and do business until I return. He put it as the moon. Some of the citizens were jealous of that representative. We do not want to be ruled by him. They sent the messenger after him. When that representative returned after receiving the king's request, In order to know how much profit each of the boys who received the money received, He ordered them to be summoned.
The first came; Lord He said, ``I have gained ten talents from the pound of money you gave me.'' The Lord said, For example, good boy You have been faithful in small matters. Rule ten cities. He said. The second came and said, Lord, He said, "I have gained five pounds from the one pound of money that you have given me." The Lord said, He said, "You rule over five cities." 20 Another man came; Lord I have a pound of your money that I put out in my scarf. You are a difficult person. 21 He seized the property that he had not kept. When he said, ``I fear you, because you reap in the field that you did not plant,'' he said. 22 The Lord said, wicked boy I will judge your case only according to your word. I am a difficult person, and I seize what I have not saved. If you know that you reap in the field that you did not plant, 23 Why didn't I hand over my money to the broker? After saying that if I deposit it, I can get the principal and interest when I return. 24 To the attendants, They took a pound of silver from his hand. He said that those who have ten talents should be encouraged. 25 The attendants said, Lord They said, "He has ten talents." 26 I say, Whoever gets He will encourage. Whoever is poor Everything in him will be taken away. 27 Moreover, they called my enemies who did not want to be under my rule. He said that they should be killed in front of me. (Luke 19:11-2)
The above example is somewhat similar to the example in Matthew 25:14-30. In this example, it is not a person. It is said that one of the MPs went back to his country to receive the king's favor. That representative is Jesus. His land is heaven. Although he was born as a king during his incarnation, Because his people did not accept him, he returned to his own land. He will return as a king. Some of the citizens were jealous of that representative. They sent a messenger after him, saying, "We do not want to be in charge of him." The people of Israel. What they did not accept, Christ will be king. Therefore, it is important that they do not oppose Jesus.
The MP called ten (ten) young men and gave them a pound of money each. Those young people do it for profit. The first young man said, "I have gained ten talents from the pound of silver that he gave me." The Lord said, For example, good boy You have been faithful in small matters. Rule ten cities. When that young man returns as Christ the king and reigns for a thousand years, Ten cities will be allowed to rule. In the same way, the second person will have the opportunity to rule over five cities because he only gets five pounds of profit. By this, the work of the believers today is not in vain. Because they will be the rulers of the cities during the thousand years. It is necessary to try and work for the Lord. Are you a person who works like those two young men? The other young man did not work. You are a difficult person. He seized the property that he did not store. I am afraid of you, and I dare accuse you of reaping in a field that you did not sow. Lazy people tend to blame others. Most believers today do not want to do what the Lord asked them to do. They tend to find fault with those who are forced to do it. Are you like that boy?
God gives more to those who try. Jesus said that he takes everything from the lazy and gives to the one who has. In today's age, because he is against God, he has pity on the lazy person. Those who work hard take away their wealth and give it to those who are lazy. Every poor person should not give. Although he should help the needy because of his physical weakness, You should not help those who are lazy and lazy. The people who are ruining the world today are those who pity those lazy people. They said, and human rights. Social status is different. Named various names, they saw sin. Oppression by the rich must be fought against. During the thousand years, To be the ruler of cities and villages with Christ. Now before the Rapture, let's listen to the Lord and do the work he asks.
