Revelation: What Happens When Jesus Returns?
Speaker: Tim Timmons
In Mathew 7:21-23 JESUS shares a harsh truth.
“Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’ But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.” Matthew 7:21-23 NLT
What will it be like when JESUS comes for His Bride?
“Let us rejoice and exult and give him the glory, for the B has come, and HIS Bride has made herself ready;… Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.” And he said to me, “These are the true words of God.” Revelation 19:7-9 ESV
16 In That Day declares The LORD you will call me husband, 19 I will betroth you to me forever. 20 I will betroth you in faithfulness, and you will acknowledge the LORD. Hosea 2:16-20
Husbands love your wife just like Christ loved the church (his bride) and gave himself up for her/Church, he made her holy by washing her with the Word. Ephesians 5:25-27
“There is no time to change your mind the Son has come and you’ve been left behind.” DC Talk “I Wish We All Been Ready”
The Parable of Ten Virgins (Bridesmaids)
“At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish and five were wise. The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep. “At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’ “Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’ “ ‘No,’ they replied, ‘there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’ “But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut. “Later the others also came. ‘Lord, Lord,’ they said, ‘open the door for us!’ “But he replied, ‘Truly I tell you, I don’t know you.’ “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.” Matthew 25:1-13 NIV
