As those who study beyond the surface know, today, January 1 is not the first day of the year in the calendar of God. So also was Jesus not born on December 25; nor was He crucified on Good Friday Nor did He rise from the dead on Easter Sunday. These may sound strange but they are true! However, fighting and splitting hair over these dates, festivities and which calendar is more accurate is not of God! It can only cause more confusion and negate the central question: why did the Great God who is Omnipotent and Omniscient allow men to change times and seasons?
Those who are intimate with God know without doubt that His purpose according to election will always stand, not withstanding what men do or say. People tend to forget that God had already pronounced that there would come a time when times and seasons are changed by an adversarial being. The question is why? From a spiritual point of view, the answer is simple: to ensure that the Day of Days – that singular day, hour and even minute when Jesus the King of Kings would appear is unknown to any man, prognosticator or star gazer!
Just as the Incarnation of Jesus and His Virgin birth was executed in a surprise fashion and the adversaries and friends alike only knew after the fact, so also has it been ordained that EVERY ONE alive on earth will be ignorant of the exact day and hour He will appear in the air to take away His Beloved Church for a brief residency in heaven where He will release crowns, mandates and rewards to those who lived by His ordinance.
Thereafter Jesus will, after the world – including unserious Christians and the pseudo-kingdom crowd which refuses to believe in the importance of His Second Coming have tasted life under the harsh rule of the Anti-Christ – return bodily with the uncountable number of His remnant saints triumphant to put down all rebellion and establish the Millennial Reign with His capital city in Jerusalem! We will speak of these extraordinary things in greater detail in the days ahead for God has instructed that The Church be prepared to understand its eternal destination and the things to come. These, we shall do soon, as the Lord unfolds revelation about the End Times and the End Game of the Human era.
In other words, all things related to the confusion about dates is organized after all! The confusion will lead the hard of heart to miss God. Those whose hearts are right with God will however rise above the hoopla to hear a sound in the distant realms of the spirit: the soft sound from heaven which is sounding with greater decibels: Jesus is returning and soon, for that matter!
The Day of the Lord is imminent! Yet, it is not a time to retreat into monastic living. It is the time to reap the over ripe harvest with the greatest outpouring of graces and the anointing of the Holy Spirit! This is the time to work without getting tired to finish the work of bringing in all those ordained for the Kingdom.
THIS IS ALSO THE TIME TO DISCOVER HOW IT IS MORE BLESSED TO GIVE THAN TO RECEIVE! It is time to love the saints like never before and get into the benefits of true Kingdom Economics by which the needs of all are met in the Goshen like economy the Lord will carve out for His elect. Selflessness is going to be the badge of honour of truly crucified saints who seek first the Kingdom and His righteousness as Matthew 6:33 enjoins us.
If you forget every scripture, do not forget these: Luke 19:10-28. God will require account of every spiritual gift, grace, time, money, opportunity and indeed every asset He blessed you with because they were designed to give you the capacity to OCCUPY, UNTIL HE COMES!
