While America is Busy with Climate Change, Christ is Getting Ready to Land On Earth And Rescue A Specific Church. But Which Church? The Answer should Shock You

While America is busy with Climate Change, Christ is getting ready to land on planet earth to rescue a specific Church, but which Church?
But before we discuss this crucial topic, this is America taking action on Climate Change in which nearly half a million of us marched in New York City:
While, you might think, “the world is going nuts,” and “why should this matter since I would not be caught dead in a Climate Change demonstration with Al Gore”.
Alright, then.
When I started searching for churches here to see if they were marching to call upon America to stand up for Christians suffering, the task wasn’t easy. From all these millions upon millions of you who attend thousands of churches, to find any of your demonstrations in New York’s Manhattan or the White House fighting for the persecuted church simply didn’t exist. I finally found this:
But it was from 6 years ago and it was a bunch of Indian Christians fighting for their Christian brethren suffering persecution in India under the peace-loving religion of Hinduism.
And I wonder, what are all these Christians doing in their churches? If they are praising Jesus, He identified Himself, especially His body, in the persecuted: “For I was hungry and you gave me food …” and you all are familiar with our broken record repeating chapter 25 of the Book of Matthew.
Is it no wonder than why we do not find verses in which Jesus is landing in New York or Washington?
The only place in Scripture I find Jesus landing to rescue folks is in Zechariah 14 and Isaiah 19.
We all know that Zechariah 14 is about rescuing the Jews and converting them to Him, but Isaiah 19 should shock some folks and get us to ask, who and why is Christ coming for in Egypt:
“And it will be for a sign and for a witness to the LORD of Hosts in the land of Egypt; for they will cry to the LORD because of the oppressors, and He will send them a Savior and a Mighty One, and He will deliver them.” (Isaiah 19:20)
Here we have the “Mighty One” is the Messiah who fights on the day of the Lord to fight the oppressors. Here, see for yourself your brothers and sisters in Egypt suffering from the oppressors and calling for Jesus to come down and save them:
And where do we see such faith like this? Where do we see multitudes of Christians taking to the streets when there are 90% Muslims and in the face of such a massive threat the Copt stands for Christ, yet here, we fear a handful of bickering Muslims.
Christ was called “Mighty One”, Isaiah 19:20 leaves no question as to who Christ comes to rescue: “He will send them a Savior and a Mighty One, and He will deliver them.”
The Egyptian Coptics are increasingly being oppressed by the Muslim majority. But if God sees their cause as being so important to personally send His Son, the Savior and Mighty God to rescue them, then we need to ask: what are the Coptic Christians of Egypt doing right and what are they doing differently from the American Church?
He comes to rescue the Christians, the remnant in Egypt, the 10% Christians. There is no doubt that the “Savior” and “Mighty One” is Christ. In the Psalms, Messiah is portrayed as a soldier and a fighter with the same reference, “Mighty One”:
“Gird Your sword upon Your thigh, O Mighty One, With Your glory and Your majesty” (Psalm 45:3).
In Zephaniah 3 this “Mighty One” is physically present in Israel’s midst:
“The LORD your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save” (Zephaniah 3:17)
He comes for Israel to convert the Jewish people to Him. And if in doubt that Christ lands in Egypt, explain this:
“See, Jehovah rides on a swift cloud and is coming to Egypt. The idols of Egypt tremble before him, and the hearts of the Egyptians melt within them” (Isaiah 19:1).
Who comes on the clouds? We also meet Him in the clouds. We even sing “Behold He comes riding on the clouds”, yet we eliminate Egypt from the song. Indeed, we are lacking. We eliminate essential clues from our songs we sing. Why?
This is Messiah personally coming to defeat Egypt. Obviously Egypt is a 90% Muslim nation with 10% Christians who will be caught up in the clouds and then landing to fight tyranny and Antichrist.
But here is the dilemma, the Egyptian Christians are Copts who believe that the bread and wine in the Eucharist are miraculously, and mysteriously, changed in to the Body and Blood of Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit. They also believe in the intercessions of the Virgin Mary or of the angels or of the saints.
Yet Christ is personally coming to rescue them and snatch them up in the clouds from the persecution by the Antichrist, the tyrant.
Ever think about it?
If Christ loves these, who are we to judge what He considers His brethren? Is it perhaps that even their theology is more sound than ours?
They even have a Pope; Pope Shenouda III (بابا الإسكندرية شنودة الثالث) Before his death on 17 March 2012, he wrote a thesis on responding to the western Protestant style Christianity and its in English.
He called for unity:
“We are in an age in which Ecumenical work and attempts towards the recovery of the Christian Unity have flourished. The meetings between the Churches, in councils, conferences and symposiums have increased, and the fields of co-operation and co-working have multiplied. However, unity is in a much higher level than cooperation. The Christian Unity should be built on the foundation of the “One Faith”. Thus began the theological discussions between the Churches. This book in your hands is a step in this theological discussion between our brethren the Protestants and us.”
Go ahead, read his work, its an eye opener.
My friends are concerned, why am I focused on the ancient East and Church Fathers in my theology lately? Some think I have gone mad because I do not sound like your typical tele evangelist prophecy teacher.
And why shouldn’t I focus on the east? The Coptic Christians are extremely devout to Christ. The coptic church is probably the most devoute and active church in the world. Their youth were raised in the church and are very close to their church community and are just as pious as their parents.
The Coptic Orthodox Church of Egypt was founded in the first century by St. Mark, one of the disciples of Jesus. St. Mark is regarded as the first patriarch of the Coptic Orthodox Church. He planted the Church in Alexandria, where he wrote his gospel—the Gospel of Mark, in the Greek language. After winning many converts to Christianity in several journeys, he was brutally martyred by pagans in the streets of Alexandria in 68 AD.
The Christian Church of Egypt (the Coptic Orthodox Church) produced world-wide distinguished Christian leaders and theologians who defended the Orthodox faith tirelessly.
I had asked a fellow Christian on my blog to tell me about St. Athanasius the Apostolic, the twentieth patriarch of Egypt (328-373) who fought the Arian heresy. She knew nothing and the name wasn’t interesting enough for her.
He is known for his staunch defense of the orthodox faith, St. Athanasius suffered exile from his See five times.
There was also St. Cyril the Great, the twenty-forth patriarch of the Coptic Church (412-444), refuted the Nestorian heresy. His theology is regarded by Christendom as the key to orthodoxy. At the time of his death, the Coptic Church occupied the position of undisputed leadership in the entire Christian world, and Christianity covered most of the land of Egypt.
Christ loves the Copts, and so will I. Not only will I love them, but I will also learn from the remnants of St. Mark, the apostle. We always talk Bible, yet we forget who wrote it and where they lived and what they said and how they interpreted it. If I want to know what Mark meant by certain verses, I will sure check with the Copts before I check with Rick Warren!
Nobody said anything about other denominations, I was merely educating someone.
YHWH’s word has no suspension or postponement rules for Sabbaths ‘back to back’.
His calendar in scripture never needed to. there are no Sabbaths back to back unless one tries to use two different calendars at the same time..
Yom kippur, if we are headed into the 7th month, would be on Sunday, not Saturn’s day..
But they are starting their month on a dark moon because two sabbaths back to back would have occurred with a correct calculation..
If Torah was followed, they would reject the pope gregory calendar and the pope appointed sabbath..
But they won’t... and the world won’t... govts, businesses and religions are happy with the sun worship calendar.
Supersessionism doesn’t take up much time for Catholics.
The first day of the month when the sun is in Virgo is exactly what is detailed in revelation 12.
If one does not see it, then they are welcome to it..
It is either still the first day of His 6th month or His 7th month or 8th month on His calendar.
I know this, if it is the Messiah’s birth day, we can know why Israel was instructed to circumcise their children on the 8th day... and why Yom Kippur is on the 10th day of the 7th month..
And why after he was baptized He was led into the wilderness for 40 days..
And why He was killed on the Feast of Passover, rested in the tomb on a High Sabbath and Feast of Unleavened Bread and Raised on the Feast of First Fruits..
New Moons, Sabbaths and Feasts all point to Him and the Kingdom..each one of His life events hit them just like we can expect the Word that became flesh and dwelt among us to do..
And with the help of John the revelator and The Holy Spirit , we can know things that Israel can’t explain why they do what they do..
Or the bride can choose not to seek knowledge, wisdom and understanding..
God has an irrevocable covenant with them
_________
God has made an everlasting covenant, sealed with the blood of Christ. the old covenant is obsolete.
God’s people are those who are reconciled to Him in the Body of His Son.
Anyone who rejects the Son, doesn’t have the Father and will die in their sin. doesn’t matter if they are Chinese, Italian, German, Bolivian or Jewish.
Try reading Romans 9,10 & 11 with theshalom b'SHEM Yah'shua HaMashiach
illumination of the Ru'ach HaKodesh.
>> “The first day of the month when the sun is in Virgo is exactly what is detailed in revelation 12.” <<
.
No.
This is about sunset, not sunrise. It is the new moon that begins every Biblical month. The new moon appears shortly after the sun sets. It is describing the moon aligning with Bethula at sunset with Ariel aligned just beyond Bethula.
>> “God has made an everlasting covenant, sealed with the blood of Christ. the old covenant is obsolete.” <<
Yehova’s everlasting covenant, the “old” covenant, has been fulfilled in the blood of his son, and cannot be obsolete; it has been renewed in sinless blood.
This is what Moses and all the prophets declared throughout the scriptures.
You hawk the lies of the church of the false prophet.
Ezek.37
[1] The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones,
[2] And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.
[3] And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest.
[4] Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.
[5] Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:
[6] And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
[7] So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.
[8] And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them.
[9] Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.
[10] So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.
[11] Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.
[12] Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.
[13] And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves,
[14] And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, saith the LORD.
[15] The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
[16] Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions:
[17] And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand.
[18] And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou meanest by these?
[19] Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.
[20] And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes.
[21] And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:
[22] And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all:
[23] Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwellingplaces, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.
[24] And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them.
[25] And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children's children for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince for ever.
[26] Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.
[27] My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
[28] And the heathen shall know that I the LORD do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.
I wasnt talking about the sunrise. I am talking about where the moon is at the sunset.
The new moon will be spotted in a day or two at sunset around the world.
The sun position ‘in Virgo’ meant that it was passing through that particular constellation on its way to the next one, Libra ( the scales)
If Josephus can be believed, Israel observed passover when the sun was in Aries. I have no reason to doubt that because it is called the Ram and it was located at the equinox at some point in antiquity..
And certainly the scales representing the day of atonement in the 7th month where the scales could be leveled for the year makes some biblical sense..
But that isnt what occurs today if the equinox is the main fixed pont in the observance of the feast.
Either the age has changed or they are of by a month, maybe two..
And only YHWH knows..
I find it fascinating but I don’t use the pope gregory calendar to rule my work or worship life anymore..
HalleluYah!
Chuckles never said that. Every post I made was to support the Jews being forgiven in the last days. Romans 11 and the whole book of Zechariah tell of this. The Covenant has always been with the Jews. We are just adopted kids and get to share.
Sorry don’t follow your wrong interpretation of scripture. You keep sitting here looking for the Anti Christ. I am looking for Jesus Christ. We have been told we will not see the wrath of God. The Tribulation IS His wrath. You stay here and endure it. I am going with Him when He calls. Sorry dude, don’t follow your beliefs.
PS: You skip over the verse just before when it states that “He who restrains is taken out.” That IS the Holy Spirit. That means when He is gone, the Age of Grace, which is what we live in, IS OVER!!!! OVER!!!! That means we are gone. Try reading 1 Corth 15 and read it without your bias opinion that WE are somehow going to have to be purified. CHRIST DID THAT ON THE CROSS WHEN HE SAID IT IS FINISHED!!!! Nothing else done. He purified us with His blood on the Cross. Goodbye and end of conversation. Joel Osteen comes on at 6. Enjoy.
I learned 40 years ago how to read the Bible without my interpretation and to use scripture to define scripture. That is the only way I study scripture. Not by using other’s books or theology. I also use the New American Standard Version which is as close to the original Greek and Hebrew along with the concordance to compare original words.
Have you done your own study or do you just listen to others? Have you gotten on your knees and prayed for God to tell you the truth no matter what you were taught by others? The Word of God speaks to those who will listen. Do not cherry pick verses or parts of the Bible. Take ALL the references and view them together.
I do not listen to Joel Osteen.
“7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way.”
In context, “he who now restrains” but “is taken out of the way” does not mean taken off earth. It means he will no longer be restraining. The Bible does not ever say the Holy Spirit leaves earth. NEVER. EVER. He will never leave us or forsake us.
Do you feel nervous about the drawdown? Are you upset at the budget cuts, our guys not getting the training they need or the supplies like gasoline and parts to repair their equipment? Our military was a restraint. That restraint is being lifted. Doesn’t mean the guys won’t defend when they can and who calls for them, but the enemy sure knows whose side this executive branch is on.
I am not going to sit here and argue the point with you. I am a believer in the Pre-Tribulation taking out of the church as Paul describes it. YOU believe as you will. I don’t agree with you and we are done here. Go away and worship Joel Osteen.
No what you learned 40 years ago was to believe a lie. you continue to follow that lie. I told you in my other response what I believed and that I will stay with. As I told you, you keep on looking for the AntiChrist. Get up every morning and go out on the porch and see if he has come. You do that. But as for me, I will continue to look UP for the Blessed Hope that is promised all who look for His coming. I don’t subscribe to your false theories. We are done.
I have read all of 1 Corinthians and it does not say that Jesus comes twice. It simply says that there are 3 resurrections. Jesus alone is one. Then there are 2 other resurrections of those in the kingdom. The first resurrection at His return and then the second when death (His last enemy) is defeated and He is totally victorious bringing His kingdom to the Father.
The first and second resurrection of those in the kingdom is also defined in Revelation 20. The first resurrection specifically defined as those who are martyred during the tribulation and who reign with Him during His reign on earth. And the “rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed. THIS IS THE FIRST RESURRECTION.” [all caps mine]
If Revelation says the first resurrection is those who died during the tribulation, who am I to argue? The rest of the dead are resurrected at the LAST trumpet before God destroys the world, when the whole kingdom is given to God to be with Him for eternity in the new heaven and new earth.
That is the unadulterated Word of God. Nothing spliced, nothing ignored, nothing added. Simple.
It is not the Word that is in question. It is your twisting of it to make it say what you want it to say instead of what it says and means. Like I said dude, we are done. No more responses. Rap all you like, you are wrong. Period. End of conversation. AND, I have such Bible experts as Dr. Tim LaHay, Dr. David Jeremiah, Dr. Charles Stanley, Hal Lindsey, Dr. Mark Hitchcock, Dr. Ed Hindson, Dr. David Reagan, Pastor Gary Stearman, Dr. Robert Jeffress, Jack Kelley, the late Grant Jeffreys, Donald Perkins, etc. ALL HAVE THE SAME BELIEFS AS I DO. So, I believe what I read, and what they say a WHOLE heck of a lot more than your wrong beliefs. Simple as that dude, you are wrong, dead wrong. The Rapture of the Church of Jesus Christ will come before the AntiChrist appears. If you are hoping to see him, or if you think you have to be purified by the Tribulation to be Saved, then you don’t think much of what the LORD Jesus Christ did on the Cross. Like I said, go away. I’m done with this post.
Nothing in Yehova’s calendar goes by the position of the sun, ever.
Josephus was a sun worshiper, thus his testimony is irrelevant.
Yehova’s calendar has always been in an ever shifting relationship to the sun. It is controlled by the Aviv Barley, not the sun.
This is why none of his feasts ever have any relationship to the sun, and it is obvious that he did this deliberately to shun the sun worshipers.
