Who is the King of Glory?
By Joel Joseph
Conclusion by Pastor Boyd
Who is the Christ, Messiah, Yeshua, the Son of God – the King of glory?
His coming was prophesied throughout the Old Covenant.
He was born of a virgin. He lived a perfect life. He performed numerous miracles. He took the sin of the world upon Himself as He was crucified. He was raised from the dead, promising that His family will also be raised. He is coming again for those that are His.
These factors above present to us a shocking, devastating Messiah! How can such things be? If they are true, they must make you a devoted disciple and follower, or if you just carry on as normal – a giant fool.
Yeshua, this God of glory loves you. That alone is too profound to imagine. He is a jealous lover and will not share you with the world and its god. He hates many things you do.
The fact that this God and judge of the universe loves you, and has chosen you to be His family, has monumental implications. It places on you a tremendous responsibility. You can never be ordinary or normal again. Your entire life’s focus, value system and even your words, can only surrender to Him, and change radically.
Consider these dramatic words:
1 Corinthians 15:13 “If there is no resurrection of the dead, then Messiah is not risen, and if He is not risen, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain...If in this life only we have hope in Messiah, we are of all men most pitiable.”
Do you know why so many people are miserable and “most pitiable” (describing something that's pathetic or miserable)?
They do not believe in the resurrection! As this verse above maintains, they are therefore not saved.
But one single thing can change it all and that is meeting with the risen One, born miraculously to live miraculously, who took away your sins, died and rose again!
I’m not talking about words or language. Yes that is involved, but I’m talking about a face to face encounter, if only by faith, of this Man our God. Everything about Him is wonderfully unique, but perhaps the most mind-boggling and self-confidence shattering thing is His resurrection and ours, soon to come.
1 Corinthians 15:42-44 “So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption. It is sown in dishonour (death) it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power. It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body...”
Note from the verses above that your resurrection will be into a new spiritual body, incorruptible, in glory and full of power!!
Just think about those words – your future!
How can you look into the eyes of the One who knows your every thought and deed? How can you look into the eyes of the one who called you from before the foundation of the earth? How can you look into the eyes of the one with fire in His eyes and a sharp two-edged sword in His mouth?
This God is raising you to be one of His kingdom of priests to God the Father.
This God, our Lord, Saviour and friend is pure and holy. He is the personification of righteousness. He is the destroyer of all sin, and that is just one of the many reasons the unsaved world hates Him and us and His chosen people the Jews.
The world loves sin. God hates sin. The unsaved world hates holiness. God is holy.
John 7:7 “The world hates Me because I testify that its works are evil.”
John 3:20 “Everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.”
Sometimes, I am totally lost for words, when I think of all that our Messiah is, and all that He has already made us, and all that we will soon become. It is too staggering to comprehend!
Lord, what a wonder you are, and thank you, thank you for all the glory that is to come.
Proverbs 7:1-2 “Keep My words and treasure my commands within you. Keep My word and live and My law as the apple of your eye.”
Psalm 17:8 “Keep Me as the apple of Your eye. Hide me under the shadow of Your wings.”
Psalm 24:10 “Who is the King of glory? The Lord of hosts, He is the king of glory.
Some thoughts on the pandemic:
The Covid-19 virus has demonstrated just how easy it is to shut down the world, spread fear, remove freedom and control the masses, suddenly.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo (Democrat) told CNN a few days ago that “It is our behaviour that stopped the spread of the virus” as he considers partially reopening New York. “It was us and not God who stopped the spread of the virus.” He said." He implied that prayer does not affect the virus.
With the above in mind, please read all about how closely the situation foreshadows the actions of the antichrist as the tribulation gets underway:
Isaiah 10:12-14 “...I will punish the fruit of the arrogant heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his haughty looks. For he (antichrist) says: By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom for I am prudent; I have removed the boundaries of the people and have robbed their treasuries...I have found like a nest the riches of the people...I have gathered all the earth, and there was no one who moved his wing, nor opened his mouth with even a peep.”
No, no, I’m not suggesting that the New York Governor is the antichrist – not at all. I’m simply drawing some of the behind-the-scenes parallels of things to come!
Bill Gates wants to introduce a tracking system too. It all runs along the same lines!
According to The Times of Israel (14th April), a prominent Israel mathematician claims that the spread of Covid-19 peaks after 40 days and declines to almost zero after 70 days. This is based on the study of other viruses. We are now just beyond 40 days!
Both of those numbers are significant in God’s dealings!
If you recall, I did say a few weeks ago that the pandemic would top out and decline.
✡† Shalom...Joel.
Conclusion by Pastor Gary Boyd
What we are now in is the beginning of sorrows, a preview of what is to come. The tribulation will be worse by far. When you hear that millions have inexplicably disappeared in the rapture you will have seven horrible years of tribulation.
If you think this is our last Pandemic or "natural" disaster you are sadly mistaken. Ask God for wisdom then Read the book of Revelations. As a Christian, I feel like the book of Revelation is unfolding before us. It shouldn’t be shocking, either, given the state of immorality in our world. Every day, the boundaries of sin seem to be pushed further and further. The line between right and wrong has slowly been erased by society, television, and pop culture.
Witchcraft, spiritualism, “New Age” belief systems are being celebrated and exalted. Abortions, literal baby murders, are called a “right” and are supported by so many. We have been removed further from the world God created and intended.
We need to take this time to re-evaluate ourselves. We need to prepare and repent. Jesus will return just as his word tells us. This is a fantastic wake up call, and I am taking it very seriously. I want to go Home to my Father, when my time is up.
Until The Lord calls me away from this world to the next, I want to make it clear that I believe in Jesus Christ as the true Lord and Savior. I believe that Jesus is the Son of God, was sacrificed on the cross, died for our sins, and rose again. He loves us all dearly (far more than we deserve) and forgives our sins if we repent. His Word says "whosoever believeth in Me, should not perish but have everlasting life.”
When I shut up heaven and there is no rain, or command the locusts to devour the land, or send pestilence among My people, if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to prayer made in this place. —2 Chronicles 7:13-15
