πŸ’₯ For the children and relatives of born again Christians


πŸ’₯ What happens at the end of this world according to the New Testament Bible?
 
Jesus awakens the dead in Christ, who sleep in Jesus, and Jesus raises the children of God who are still living on this earth to take them to the new heaven and new earth which God has prepared for them for all eternity.

Revelation 21:1-5  (In a vision, God showed the apostle John this new heaven & new earth and gave John this information.)
 
 John says:

 1 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.

2 And I John saw
the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

3
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.

4 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.
 
(There will be no more death, nor sorrow, nor physical pain in heaven because we will not have these physical bodies in heaven but will have "new" spiritual bodies.  I Cor. 15:48-51)

5
And HE that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And HE said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

Matthew 24:29-31  (Jesus says:)
 
29  Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

31 And HE
(Jesus)  shall send HIS angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together HIS elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

πŸ’₯  God will destroy this present heaven and earth.
 
2 Peter 3:10-14
 
10 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.

11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

12 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?

13 Nevertheless we, according to HIS promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

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

πŸ’₯ What happens when a person dies?

At the moment of death, the spirit leaves the body.

My cousin called me one day to tell me her husband had died.  She said, "Thurman reached over and patted my hand and just fell asleep." (died)
 
I Thessalonians 4  (The apostle Paul says)
 
13 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.

14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with HIM.

15 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 them
(go before them) which are asleep (dead).

16 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:

17 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.

18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words. 

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

πŸ’₯  At the end of this world, Jesus comes through the air and all people living on this present earth will see Jesus coming in the clouds. 
 
Acts 1  (After the crucifixion and after God raised Jesus from the dead, Jesus appeared for 40 days on this earth in bodily form to various people on this earth and the disciples saw the moment when Jesus was taken by God into heaven.)
 
9  And when HE had spoken these things, while they beheld, HE was taken up; and a cloud received HIM out of their sight.

10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as HE went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;

11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen HIM go into heaven.
 
πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯ πŸ’₯πŸ’₯
 
πŸ’₯ God will then bring the 14 plagues of The Great Tribulation upon this earth to judge the people of this earth before HE destroys this present heaven and earth with fire. 

The 14 Plagues:  Revelation 8, 9, 16

(the first plague)

Revelation 8

And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.

6 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.

7 The first angel sounded,
and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

πŸ’₯  Jesus says:  "Ye must be born again."   (John 3:7)

If you have not been born again, ask God to cause you to be born again.

Promise of God to the New Testament Church:

Ezekiel 36  (God says:)
 
 23 And I will sanctify MY great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.
 
(profaned:  made secular / before we were born again we "profaned" God by describing God in  secular ways.  After we are born again, we view things of God by the Holy Spirit, describing things of God in the Holy Bible, in spiritual ways.)

24 For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.

25 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.

26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

27 And I will put MY spirit within you, and cause you to walk in MY statutes, and ye shall keep MY judgments, and do them.
