The First Coming of Jesus was to Save Sinners. The Next Time Jesus Comes it will be for the Righteous.


Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet

Matthew 9:10-13    And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with HIM and HIS disciples.

And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto HIS disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?

But when Jesus heard that, HE said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.  But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

The next time Jesus comes will be to gather the righteous to HIMSELF.

I Thessalonians 4:13-18     But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep (dead), that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with HIM
.
For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent (precede) them which are asleep (dead).

For the Lord HIMSELF shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

Jesus returns for the righteous, for those who believe in HIM and trust in HIM.

The dead will rise from their graves and those still living will shed these fleshly  bodies in the twinkling of an eye, given new spiritual bodies, and they will rise.
I Corinthians 15

Both the dead and the living meet Jesus "in the air". 

The kingdom of God will not be on this present earth.

This present earth will be destroyed by God.


II Peter 3:10-14    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.

Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of HIM in peace, without spot, and blameless.

Revelation 21:1-5    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.

And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

And HE that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.

In the new heaven and the new earth, we will not have these fleshly bodies we now have.  God will give us new, spiritual bodies.  Therefore the suffering caused by our flesh and our emotions will be gone forever.  There will be no sorrow nor pain for the flesh that produces such will no longer be the vessel containing our spirit.  I Corinthians 15
