HOME FOREVER is in H E A V E N (Matthew 6:19-21) (John 3:16-18).

This heaven and earth will pass away (1 Peter 21:33) (Mark 13:31) (2 Peter 3:10)!

“For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens” (2 Corinthians 5:1).

Before he left this earth, our Lord Jesus very clearly told his disciples, saying: “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away” (Matthew 24:35).

“In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you” (John 14:2). He also told his disciples, “[I GO TO PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU]. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also” (John 14:2–3).

Jesus is in the heavens where there is already NEW HEAVENS AND A NEW EARTH where there is the NEW JERUSALEM. In the Book of Revelation John said:

“[AND I SAW A GREAT WHITE THRONE, AND HIM THAT SAT ON IT, FROM WHOSE FACE THE EARTH AND THE HEAVEN FLED AWAY; AND THERE WAS FOUND NO PLACE FOR THEM]” (Revelation 20:11).

“And I saw a [NEW HEAVEN AND A NEW EARTH]: [FOR THE FIRST HEAVEN AND THE FIRST EARTH WERE PASSED AWAY]; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, [NEW JERUSALEM], [COMING DOWN FROM GOD OUT OF HEAVEN], prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God” (Revelation 21:1-3).

“While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal; but [THE THINGS WHICH ARE NOT SEEN ARE ETERNAL]” (2 Corinthians 4:18).

“[FOR SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE WORLD] men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what [HE HATH PREPARED FOR HIM THAT WAITETH FOR HIM]” (Isaiah 64:4).

“It is good that a man should both hope and quietly [WAIT FOR THE SALVATION] of the LORD” (Lamentation 3:26).

This earth is NOT home!

This heaven and earth will pass away (1 Peter 21:33) (Mark 13:31) (2 Peter 3:10)!

Jesus says: “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away” (Matthew 24:35).

Before he left this earth, Jesus very clearly told his disciples, “In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you” (John 14:2). He also told his disciples, “[I GO TO PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU]. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also” (John 14:2–3).

Jesus is in the heavens where there is already NEW HEAVENS AND A NEW EARTH where there is the NEW JERUSALEM. In the Book of Revelation John said:

“[AND I SAW A GREAT WHITE THRONE, AND HIM THAT SAT ON IT, FROM WHOSE FACE THE EARTH AND THE HEAVEN FLED AWAY; AND THERE WAS FOUND NO PLACE FOR THEM]” (Revelation 20:11).

“And I saw a [NEW HEAVEN AND A NEW EARTH]: [FOR THE FIRST HEAVEN AND THE FIRST EARTH WERE PASSED AWAY]; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, [NEW JERUSALEM], [COMING DOWN FROM GOD OUT OF HEAVEN], prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God” (Revelation 21:1-3).

“While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal; but [THE THINGS WHICH ARE NOT SEEN ARE ETERNAL]” (2 Corinthians 4:18).

“It is good that a man should both hope and quietly [WAIT FOR THE SALVATION] of the LORD” (Lamentation 3:26).

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that [WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH], but have [EVERLASTING LIFE]. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God” (John 3:16-18).

“[HE THAT BELIEVETH ON THE SON HATH EVERLASTING LIFE]: and [HE THAT BELIEVETH NOT THE SON SHALL NOT SEE LIFE]; but the wrath of God abideth on him” (John 3:36).

“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8) says: “‘It is more blessed to [GIVE] than to receive’” (Acts 20:35).

We live in a world where too often the it is exclaimed “I want this, I want that and so on”. However, we must all take a moment and ponder JOHN 3:16!

Yes; take a moment today and read slowly every word, and we soon come to realize the paramount significance to the word “Gave” because JESUS CHRIST GAVE HIS LIFE FOR THE SINS OF THE WORLD!

“For God so loved the world, that he [GAVE] his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).

“[FOR SCARCELY FOR A RIGHTEOUS MAN WILL ONE DIE]: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God [COMMENDETH HIS LOVE TOWARD US, IN THAT, WHILE WE WERE YET SINNERS, CHRIST DIED FOR US]” (Romans 5:7-8)

“[FOR ALL HAVE SINNED, AND COME SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD]; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus” (Romans 3:23-24).

“[SO CHRIST WAS ONCE OFFERED TO BEAR THE SINS OF MANY]; and [UNTO THEM THAT LOOK FOR HIM SHALL HE APPEAR THE SECOND TIME WITHOUT SIN UNTO SALVATION]” (Hebrews 9:28).

Therefore, every human being would be wise to come to REPENTANCE OF SINS AND FOLLOW JESUS CHRIST before it is TOO LATE (Daniel 12:2) (Matthew 24:36) (Revelation 11:18).

“I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him” (Psalm 32:5-6).

“But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; [THAT IF THOU SHALT CONFESS WITH THY MOUTH THE LORD JESUS, AND SHALT BELIEVE IN THINE HEART THAT GOD HATH RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD, THOU SHALT BE SAVED]. For [WITH THE HEART MAN BELIEVETH UNTO RIGHTEOUSNESS]; and [WITH THE MOUTH CONFESSION IS MADE UNTO SALVATION]” (Romans 10:8-10).

R I G H T E O U S N E S S.

There will be ONLY RIGHTEOUSNESS in the world without end in the New Heavens and New Earth.

“For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright” (Psalm 11:7). “The LORD liveth, in truth, in judgment, and in righteousness” (Jeremiah 4:2).

“Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read” (Isaiah 34:16).

“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in [RIGHTEOUSNESS]” (2 Timothy 3:16).

Jesus says: “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away” (Matthew 24:35).

“Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth [RIGHTEOUSNESS]” (2 Peter 3:13).

“For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven” (Psalm 119:89).

Do you have the SAVIOR (John 3:16-18)?

His name is JESUS CHRIST.

“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8).

“[I AM HE THAT LIVETH, AND WAS DEAD; AND, BEHOLD, I AM ALIVE FOR EVERMORE], Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death” (Revelation 1:18).

“[I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD]: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life” (John 8:12).

“[I AM THE DOOR]: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture” (John 10:9).

“[I AM THAT BREAD OF LIFE]. This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die” (John 6:48, 51).

“[I AM THE VINE], ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me” (John 15:5, 4).

“[I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD]: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep” (John 10:11).

“[I AM THE RESURRECTION, AND THE LIFE]: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live; and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die” (John 11:25–26).

“[I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE]: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6).

“Search the Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have [ETERNAL LIFE]: and they are they which testify of me. And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life” (John 5:39–40).

“These things have I written unto you that [BELIEVE ON THE NAME OF THE SON OF GOD; THAT YE MAY KNOW THAT YE HAVE ETERNAL LIFE], and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God” (1 John 5:13).

“I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. [I AM THE ROOT AND THE OFFSPRING OF DAVID], and the bright and morning star” (Revelation 22:16).

“He which testifieth these things saith, [SURELY I COME QUICKLY]. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen” (Revelation 22:20-21).

SAVED BY GRACE THROUH FAITH OF JESUS CHRIST.

Many hold to beliefs and there are doctrines which preach along the lines, saying: “Once saved always saved”.

However, our Lord Jesus Christ says: “No man, having put his hand to the plough, and [LOOKING BACK], is fit for the Kingdom of God” (Luke 9:62). “But he that shall [ENDURE UNTO THE END, THE SAME SHALL BE SAVED]” (Matthew 24:13).

“Remember Lot’s wife” (Luke 17:32)? Lot, his wife and two daughters were elected to be saved form the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. The angels of God told them, saying: “Escape for thy life; [LOOK NOT BEHIND THEE], neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed” (Genesis 19:17).

However, Lot’s wife loved life so much in Sodom and Gomorrah that she had to have one last look, but it was not to be, because she turned into a pillar of salt (Genesis 19:26). Lot’s wife did not believe the word of God as spoken by the angels of God. Lot’s wife did not endure to the end, and lost her life.

When Jesus says: “No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the Kingdom of God” (Luke 9:62); this means that once we come to the knowledge of the Truth by the word of God, we are not to look back on this earth to the lusts, pleasures, and pride of life, in other words, the pollutions of this world. Peter, a disciple of Jesus warned, saying:

“For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning” (2 Peter 2:20).

The Apostle Paul explained saying: ”[FOR BY GRACE ARE YE SAVED THROUGH FAITH]; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9).

“What then? [SHALL WE SIN, BECAUSE WE ARE] not under the law, but [UNDER GRACE]? God forbid. Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.

But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. [FOR THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH; BUT THE GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE THROUGH JESUS CHRIST] our Lord” (Romans 6:15-16, 20, 22-23).

A Lifetime of suffering in RIGHTEOUSNESS and then an ETERNITY OF PEACE or A Lifetime of Pleasures in UNRIGHTEOUSNESS and then an ETERNITY OF PUNISHMENT?

CHOOSE WISELY.

The Apostle Paul well said: “For I reckon that the [SUFFERINGS OF THIS PRESENT TIME ARE NOT WORTHY TO BE COMPARED WITH THE GLORY] which shall be revealed in us” (Romans 8:18).

On the the LAST DAY, the DAY OF JUDGMENT at the END OF THE WORLD, we will ALL know our destination: ETERNAL LIFE or EVERLASTING PUNISHMENT?

“[FOR WE MUST ALL APPEAR BEFORE THE JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST]; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad” (2 Corinthians 5:10).

JESUS CHRIST explains the events of that DAY, saying:
“When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall [HE SIT UPON THE THRONE OF HIS GLORY; AND BEFORE HIM SHALL BE GATHERED ALL NATIONS]: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats; and [HE SHALL SET THE SHEEP ON HIS RIGHT HAND, BUT THE GOATS ON THE LEFT]. Then shall the King say unto them on his [RIGHT HAND], ‘Come, ye blessed of my Father, [INHERIT THE KINGDOM PREPARED FOR YOU FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD]’” (Matthew 25:31–34).
“Then shall he say also unto them on the [LEFT HAND], [DEPART FROM ME, YE CURSED, INTO EVERLASTING FIRE], prepared for the Devil and his angels. And these shall go away into [EVERLASTING PUNISHMENT]. And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: [BUT THE RIGHTEOUS INTO LIFE ETERNAL]” (Matthew 25:41, 46).

‘666’.

DO NOT FEAR THE NUMBER ‘666’!

WHEN THE DAY COMES, AND IT IS COMING when there will rise to power one ruler over this whole world, the seventh and last world kingdom (Daniel 8:23–24). THIS RULER IS A KING: not a president; prime minister or other world leader in power today.

“[HERE IS WISDOM. LET HIM THAT HATH UNDERSTANDING] count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six” (Revelation 13:18).

It is important for us to keep in our hearts that these words are written by GOD.

“For the LORD giveth [WISDOM: OUT OF HIS MOUTH COMETH KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING]” (Proverbs 2:6).

The number ‘666’ IS THE KEY TO UNLOCKING THE NAME OF THE NAME OF THIS WORLD RULER, THE SEVENTH KING.

Therefore, there is no need to FEAR!

“The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us” (Ecclesiastes 1:9-10).

“Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil” (Ecclesiastes 12:13–14).

“[FOR WE MUST ALL APPEAR BEFORE THE JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST]; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad” (2 Corinthians 5:10).

“He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; he that overcometh shall not be [HURT OF THE SECOND DEATH]” (Revelation 2:11).

“Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom” (Luke 12:32).

“I am with you alway, [EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD]. Amen” (Matthew 28:20).

 

Are you in the KINGDOM OF GOD?

“Yes; “I FOLLOW JESUS CHRIST”!

“[FOR I AM NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST]: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek” (Romans 1:16).

“BELOVED, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: [EVERY SPIRIT THAT CONFESSETH THAT JESUS CHRIST IS COME IN THE FLESH IS OF GOD: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world” (1 John 4:1-3).

“Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error” (1 John 4:1-8).

“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world” (1 John 2:15).

“For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God” (1 Corinthians 3:19).

“If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever” (1 John 2:15–17).

“Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God” (1 Corinthians 4:1-1).

“For the [PREACHING OF THE CROSS] is to them that [PERISH FOOLISHNESS]; but unto us which are [SAVED] it is the [POWER OF GOD]” (1 Corinthians 1:18-19).

“[BUT IF OUR GOSPEL BE HID, IT IS HID TO THEM THAT ARE LOST]: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

[FOR WE PREACH NOT OURSELVES, BUT CHRIST JESUS THE LORD; AND OURSELVES YOUR SERVANTS FOR JESUS’ SAKE]. For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ” (2 Corinthians 4:3-6).

“Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen” (Romans 15:33).

DAY OF THE LORD:

“Be ye also [PATIENT; STABLISH YOUR HEART: FOR THE COMING] of the Lord draweth nigh” (James 5:8).

“But the [DAY OF THE LORD] will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness” (2 Peter 3:10-13).

“Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, [BE DILIGENT THAT YE MAY BE FOUND OF HIM IN PEACE, WITHOUT SPOT], and blameless” (2 Peter 3:14).

“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8), says: “But of that [DAY AND HOUR] knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only” (Matthew 24:36).

“But as the [DAYS OF NOE WERE, SO SHALL ALSO THE COMING] of the Son of man be” (Matthew 24:37).

“They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, [UNTIL THE DAY THAT NOE ENTERED INTO THE ARK, AND THE FLOOD CAME, AND DESTROYED THEM ALL]” (Luke 17:27).

“Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;

But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

[EVEN THUS SHALL IT BE IN THE DAY WHEN THE SON OF MAN IS REVEALED]” (Luke 17:28-30).

“[REJOICE YE IN THAT DAY, AND LEAP FOR JOY]: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets” (Luke 6:23).

“Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come” (Matthew 24:42).
