8-6-2023 Sunday Sermon Message Meditations of the Week: Psalm 91:1-16 Text: Daniel 2:31-45 Word title: Cataclysmic Events in the World After the Rapture preceding the Millennium        God showed a frightening dream to King Nebuchadnezzar, who ruled over the entire world in the Babylonian Empire, and had him interpret it with the help of the prophet Daniel. God foretold the rise and fall of many kingdoms that would arise from the Babylonian empire, where the time of the Gentiles began.      Not only that, but at the end of the Great Tribulation, Jesus will return and judge everyone in the world who has not believed in Him. After judging the Antichrist and the false prophet by throwing them into the lake of fire. After winning the Battle of Armageddon. By establishing His everlasting kingdom on earth according to the disciples’ prayer taught by the Lord Jesus Christ, Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. (Matthew 6:10 KJV)  to accomplish the full dispensation of God’s will, God is finally glorified through the prophecies spoken by Daniel and the vision given to the apostle John.           God began the time of the Gentiles by raising up the Babylonian Empire to discipline and restore the Israelites by refining them, and successively raised up the Medo-Persia, Greece, and the Roman Empire. Also, the Roman Empire was further divided into East and West Rome, and in the end, the whole world was divided into ten kingdoms, where the ten kings give all their power and authority to the Antichrist, thereby showing the end of the whole world ruled by Satan.        The prophet Daniel prophesied to Nebuchadnezzar when he saw the fall of the last world empires and the fulfillment of the Millennial Kingdom, which is the  Kingdom of Heaven preached by John the Baptist and Jesus, taking place on earth with the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ: And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure. (Daniel 2:44-45 KJV)          Suddenly a stone appeared. The stone struck the image on its feet and on its ten toes, smashing it to pieces. But the stone was not hewn out by human hands. The Apostle Peter testified of this stone: ¶ To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. (1 Peter 2:4-5 KJV)          The Lord Jesus Christ is a living stone. As a living stone, He becomes the Head of the Church, and the members of the Church become lively stones, reborn by the Holy Spirit and united with the Lord to become holy priests.          Concerning the stone, the apostle Peter continues with his testimony: Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect,

Daniel #9 Let us continue from Daniel 3:29-30 (KJV) 29 Therefore I make a decree, That every people, nation, and language, which speak any thing amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill: because there is no other God that can deliver after this sort. 30 Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, in the province of Babylon. Nebuchadnezzar was a king who served other gods, not the God of Israel. But if you speak against their god, you will be severely punished. This is because there is no other god who can save you from the fiery pit. In other words, the pagan gods they believe in cannot do that. But ironically they still believe in them. Nebuchadnezzar recognized that the God the Jews worship is the mightiest. Better than many religious people today. That is why God appointed Nebuchadnezzar in his generation as a king to rule over the entire world. God just used him as a servant. He chose Nebuchadnezzar to rule and chastise the Jews. God also uses the devil as a servant because the time has not yet come. Satan’s been judged, but he’s still serving God even today. However, while Nebuchadnezzar said this, he did not acknowledge the God of Israel was the true God and that the other gods were counterfeits. Obviously, Nebuchadnezzar praises the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, but he has no will to serve Him. Many people come to church and praise Jesus Christ and glorify the Heavenly Father, yet have no desire to serve Him. That is an unbeliever serving another God, another Jesus. If you truly believe that God manifested in flesh, Jesus Christ, is the One and only who can save you from death and deliver you from hell, then you can serve Him. Serving God means being able to go out with gratitude no matter what circumstances He allows. Unfortunately, people today worship other gods. Another Jesus conjured up from within their own hearts who only blesses them via another gospel. Pastors serve Jesus who only revives their churches. Nebuchadnezzar knelt down and bowed down to Daniel and gave him many gifts, a simple gesture which was better than today’s Christians. Nebuchadnezzar acknowledged God as another god, but not as THE absolute Almighty Creator. There is no other god who can rescue them like this. He did lay down a decree to never speak against God. This just shows that God of Israel is the greatest, does it not? And yet the king himself did not turn from serving his pagan gods. Korean ministers who did not worship at Shinto shrines during the Japanese colonial era truly believed in Jesus Christ. The faithful few who lived according to the words our Lord asked Martha even if it meant their death; John 11:25-26 (KJV) 25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: 26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? Do you really believe in these words Martha? When she acknowledged, he called and resurrected Lazarus. Why don’t Christians today experience God’s saving power in their lives? Why can’t we experience God who saves us not only from hell, but also from death and hardship in life? It’s because we don’t trust Him. God has led you to such a place and want you to experience how will lead you from there. But people just don’t want to. When there is trouble, it is just resentment and anger. Apostle Paul said: Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. (2 Corinthians 12:10 KJV)  When he was thankful, God saved him because Paul fully trusted in the Lord. Many typically fear over physical, carnal issues, not believing in the scripture though he were dead,

7-30-2023 Sunday Sermon Message Meditations of the Week: Psalm 91:1-16 Text: Revelation 6:1-17 Word title: What Happens on Earth During the Great Tribulation Following the Rapture          The Holy Spirit prophesied through the apostle Paul about the times and seasons of the coming day of Christ, when Jesus Christ would appear in the air: ¶ Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; (2 Thessalonians 2:3 KJV)         The Holy Spirit said He would take John to the future day of Christ and show him what would happen then and thereafter: ¶ After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. (Revelation 4:1 KJV)         The apostle John witnessed the appearance of the Antichrist when Jesus Christ the Lamb opened one of the seven seals: And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. (Revelation 6:2 KJV)        After the appearance of the Antichrist, the apostle John witnessed what will follow as Christ continues to open the second through the fourth seals, as peace is removed from the earth by war, then severe famine on a global scale, followed by death and hell killing many. ¶ And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. (Revelation 6:3-8 KJV)           Then, when the Lamb opened the fifth seal, he saw the souls of the slain: ¶ And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. (Revelation 6:9-11 KJV)          This scene foreshadows what will happen in the last three and a half years of the Great Tribulation. At this time, the Antichrist, the beast rising out of the sea, and the false prophet coming up out of the earth kill all the saints because of the Word of Go...

Daniel #8  (Daniel 3:16-25 KJV) Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter. If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up. ¶ Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego: therefore he spake, and commanded that they should heat the furnace one seven times more than it was wont to be heated. And he commanded the most mighty men that were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace. Then these men were bound in their coats, their hosen, and their hats, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. Therefore because the king’s commandment was urgent, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flame of the fire slew those men that took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellers, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king. He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God. This is the image of the born-again children of God. The born-again children of God do not fear death. This is a great testimony. They spoke with an authoritative voice, confident, unexcited, calm, yet fearless. This is because God is with them. Christians must bear this witness. Not a testimony of “I worked hard and God gave me a lot of money,” but rather a testimony of God’s power before people. When Nebuchadnezzar asked, “Who is the God that will save you?” These guys were bold before the king! Nebuchadnezzar was a mighty king of his time. How dare they speak like this in front of him? God allowed the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, but he was too proud and arrogant, which later caused his great downfall. They didn’t hesitate but responded immediately but boldly proclaimed, “Even if you throws us in the furnace, God can save us. Regardless O king, we will not serve your gods.” We Christians, whether you live or die, just have to obey the word of God. Even when we pray for the sick, we just have to pray and leave it to God to heal them. There’s nothing to be disappointed because of God did not heal them, and there’s nothing to be proud of God’s healing powers. It is all up to God. People tend to believe God doesn’t have the ability when their prayers aren’t answered immediately. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego did not doubt God’s ability, whether God could deliver them or not. This is the attitude of those who rejoice in God. That is why people lose their faith and become afraid when something doesn’t go the way thought of after the prayer. It may seem the world is ridiculing them. But it doesn’t matter. God will take care of everything if you simply obey His words. If we pray according to God’s will, it doesn’t matter whether it comes true or not. It doesn’t matter if it happens right away, a month, or 10 years later. Pastor Song has been trying to lead people with the Word of God during his ministry, and some words took 20 years to be fulfilled. Therefore, if you hold on to the Word and pray, it will surely come true. Likewise, praying for salvation of our non-believing family members will definitely come true. It’s not because God doesn’t have the abili...

7-23-2023 Sunday Sermon Message Meditations of the Week: Psalm 91:1-16 Text says: 2 Corinthians 11:1-2 Word Title: The glory that God’s Church, the Bride of Christ, will receive after the Rapture.         The Apostle Paul testified that he did not learn the gospel of Christ from others, but received it directly from the Lord: ¶ For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. (1 Corinthians 11:23-25 KJV)        The apostle Paul testified of the gospel of 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 KJV)       He also testified of the gospel of Christ, which is the power of God for the salvation of all who believe: ¶ Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: (1 Corinthians 15:1-5 KJV)         He then witnessed of a very important and mysterious fact to Christians who believed in the gospel of Christ he preached and were saved: ¶ Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me. For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. (2 Corinthians 11:1-2 KJV)         The apostle Paul testified to the saints of Corinthian church that Gentile believers in Christ had been saved by receiving the Spirit of Christ, and that he felt reverential jealousy before a mysterious truth unimaginable to a Jew as himself. In other words, he testified to this great mystery of how they were betrothed to the Lord Jesus Christ.          He testified that Christians who believed in the gospel of Christ and were born again of the Holy Spirit, whether Jews or Gentiles, became not only God’s children but also betrothed brides to Christ, God’s only begotten Son, forming the Church of God. Because of this, he testified, Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God: (1 Corinthians 10:32 KJV)         The Apostle Paul also commanded his spiritual son Timothy two very important missions before he passed away. The first is to spread the word about the Day of Christ when Christ comes to take the Church of God, His bride, the Rapture day and the Millennial Kingdom of Christ, where Christ will rule the whole world with His bride, the Church of God: ¶ I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and...

Daniel #7             (Daniel 3:4-12 KJV) Then an herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O people, nations, and languages, That at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up: And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. Therefore at that time, when all the people heard the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and all kinds of musick, all the people, the nations, and the languages, fell down and worshipped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up. ¶ Wherefore at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and accused the Jews. They spake and said to the king Nebuchadnezzar, O king, live for ever. Thou, O king, hast made a decree, that every man that shall hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, shall fall down and worship the golden image: And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth, that he should be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. There are certain Jews whom thou hast set over the affairs of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego; these men, O king, have not regarded thee: they serve not thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.             All the people, the nations, and the languages. We know that King Nebuchadnezzar ruled over all the earth at that time. What a mighty king he must have been. This is foreshadowing of the coming Antichrist who is to rule the whole world and cause the everyone to worship his idol creation. Therefore, we must know that the Old Testament is not only a shadow of what is to come, but also a prophecy at the same time. During the Great Tribulation, everyone who does not worship the image of the Antichrist will be beheaded. No one is exempt. Here we see the instruments playing. Music. Music has been used as a universal language since ancient times. Especially in the last days, it says here that music will be the language of all nations. Look at how people around the world are going crazy even with the Korean language based music these days, which they don’t even understand. This is because Satan is working behind the music. It’s okay even if you don’t understand the lyrics because it stimulates emotions. That is why worship and praise can mislead to praising the devil instead of God even in the church today. Instead of singing hymns, modern apostate churches tend to just show more music videos. People watch the video more than they praise the Lord. They believe to receive grace from such videos. Satan was once the choirmaster of the angels in heaven, he was cast down to earth and is currently residing in the air, but in the future, when such a great orchestra plays, the Antichrist might tell the remaining people of the world to worship his image. Remember: that modern music has practically become a tool for worshiping the devil. We can know that in modern music it is used as a means of communication and as a medium of delivery. For how many years has K-pop taken control of the world? It makes no sense. It’s the work of Satan. We realize this, but most people don’t. Satan uses many music genres to deceive all sorts of people. Just about anywhere especially here in the States, you’ll hear loud beats with earth-shattering bass coming from cars and trucks. Satan works a lot behind the sound of beating drums. Many shamans beat the drums. African natives also dancer to the drum beats. The sound of drums stimulates people’s emotions and prevents them from seeing the glory of God. That’s why people today not only like to listen to music,

7-16-2023 Sunday Sermon Message Meditations of the Week: Psalm 91:1-16 Text: 1 Thessalonians 5:1-9 Word title: The times and the seasons of the Rapture according to the Bible Apostle Paul testified about the times and seasons unto the Thessalonian church saints waiting for the rapture: ¶ But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. ¶ Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, (1 Thessalonians 5:1-9 KJV)         The Day of the Lord in the Bible refers to the Second Coming of Christ, The Judgment Day. Also, the Day of the Lord is to inform us of times and seasons when the Rapture will be. If we go back seven years from the Day of the Lord, past the Great Tribulation period, we can also know the times and seasons of the Rapture.         A child-bearing woman does not know the exact day she will give birth, but when she is about 9 months pregnant, she expects that the time is near when she will suddenly go into labor and give birth. But others have no way of knowing when.         Similarly, those who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and received the Holy Spirit know the times and seasons of the Rapture day and the Day of the Lord through the words of the Bible written by the Holy Spirit.         Before examining the times and seasons of the rapture, it would be wise to first examine the words revealed in the Old Testament concerning the rapture of which the Bible speaks. ¶ And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah: And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters: And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years: And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him. (Genesis 5:21-24 KJV)        Enoch is an exceptional person who was raptured without experiencing death, and he is a model for blessed present day Christians who will be raptured avoiding death like Enoch as the times and seasons of the rapture are right in front of our eyes. But the Bible says everyone dies at least once. As the saying goes, there is no rule without exceptions. Blessed are those who are subject to the exceptions. And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: 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 9:27-28 KJV)        Even in the prayer of King David, there is a prophecy about the rapture in the future: Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O LORD,

Daniel #6             ¶ Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face, and worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an oblation and sweet odours unto him. The king answered unto Daniel, and said, Of a truth it is, that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing thou couldest reveal this secret. Then the king made Daniel a great man, and gave him many great gifts, and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon, and chief of the governors over all the wise men of Babylon. Then Daniel requested of the king, and he set Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, over the affairs of the province of Babylon: but Daniel sat in the gate of the king. (Daniel 2:46-49 KJV)             It would be surprising if someone correctly guessed a nightmare and its future outcome. However, people these days probably wouldn’t worship someone just for interpreting dreams. Nebuchadnezzar, despite his arrogance, feared God more than any ruler today. More so than any theologian, the Pope, more so than any famous religious figure, or any other man of God. God loves people who Love His word, and he receives the brokenhearted. The Bible is very clear that God receives those who come to Him brokenhearted because of their sins. Nebuchadnezzar quickly understood the word of God, unlike many who hear it proclaimed today. He worshipped Daniel instead of God, which showed his fear of the word of God and his reverence for people. The Bible mentions that many gifts and spices were offered to Daniel, but he simply let Nebuchadnezzar bow down to him. When the angel of the Lord appeared to John in the book of Revelation, John simply bowed down. The man said, “Do not worship me. Only worship the Lord. I believe this to be Daniel. “I am a servant prophet like you.” Because the Lord told Daniel what was going to happen, but then he told him to seal it, and he revealed it to the apostle John.             Daniel should’ve told Nebuchadnezzar to worship only God, not him when the king fell down and worshipped him. Again, Nebuchadnezzar was the greatest king alive back in those day. Of course, God bestowed such power unto him. Daniel did not hesitate to sit at the king’s gate. The king’s gate means to become the second in command. Then he put Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in charge of the affairs of Babylon as well as himself, and Daniel accepted all sorts of oblations and gifts. In a way, this could be seen as Daniel being tested and failing as even a man of God can sin. No one is perfect. The Bible says: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; (Romans 3:23 KJV) And we’re going to see what happened to Daniel when he went into the lion’s den and almost died. You’re going to see some terrible suffering. When you read the scripture, you realize that even people who appear to be blameless and righteous in the eyes of man have one or more blemishes. No one is perfect. Even Joseph, who was the second in command in Egypt, his deception by hiding the silver cup in Benjamin’s money bag and used that to leverage Benjamin as hostage. Look at Noah. Noah was a righteous man in his time, but then he is saved from the flood, as he and his family were the only ones left in the world. Feeling like the king, he let himself loose and got drunk and slept naked, ended up cursing Ham. Noah wasn’t a perfect man either, and we know from the Bible that no one can claim righteousness apart from the blood of Jesus Christ on the cross. What about David? David was also a perfect man. God says he was perfect except for his sin with Bathsheba, as he ended up committing adultery and murder. What about Moses,

7-9-2023 Sunday Sermon Message Meditations of the Week: Psalm 91:1-16 Text: 1 Corinthians 2:7-16 Word title: Fire Judgment Coming Toward the Sodom-Like World          The apostle Paul testified of oncoming future events to the Corinthian church saints with the prophetic words recorded by Isaiah: 1 Corinthians 2:7-9 (KJV) But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, [even] the hidden [wisdom], which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known [it], they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.         If so, it is easy to know through the words of the Bible about what God has for those who love Him, what Christians who have received God’s Holy Spirit are waiting for. These are none other than the rapture that will take place on the day of Christ, the millennial kingdom, and God’s judgment upon the sinful Sodom-like world that Satan, along with the Antichrist and the false prophet, has polluted.           We too can see, hear, and understand the things that will happen in the future through the words that no one has ever heard or understood since the foundation of the world, when we see and hear the words the apostle Paul testified “as it is written,”        God prophesied through Isaiah: Isaiah 34:1-10 (KJV) Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye people: let the earth hear, and all that is therein; the world, and all things that come forth of it.  For the indignation of the LORD [is] upon all nations, and [his] fury upon all their armies: he hath utterly destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the slaughter. Their slain also shall be cast out, and their stink shall come up out of their carcases, and the mountains shall be melted with their blood. And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling [fig] from the fig tree. For my sword shall be bathed in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Idumea, and upon the people of my curse, to judgment. The sword of the LORD is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, [and] with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams: for the LORD hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Idumea. And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness. For [it is] the day of the LORD’S vengeance, [and] the year of recompences for the controversy of Zion. And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the dust thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof shall become burning pitch. It shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke thereof shall go up for ever: from generation to generation it shall lie waste; none shall pass through it for ever and ever.        Jesus Christ said these things would happen during the Great Tribulation. On the day of His Second Coming, Matthew 24:28 (KJV) For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together. and He also told Job long ago. Job 39:30 (KJV) Her young ones also suck up blood: and where the slain [are], there [is] she. Matthew 24:29-30 (KJV) Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be da...

Daniel #5             And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure. (Daniel 2:44-45 KJV) We’ll be focusing on these verses today. The Bible says after the destruction of all kingdoms of earth, just one kingdom will stand forever. This kingdom is not established by man, but by the God of heaven. This is the Kingdom of God and at the same time it is also the kingdom of heaven. What this means is that since it is still before the Lord’s Second coming to earth, the kingdom of God exists only in those who believe and have received the Holy Spirit. That is why the kingdom of God is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. Because the kingdom of God is formed within those who are born again by the Holy Spirit, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit reside within them as the King, as God, and as the Father. However there is no kingdom of God anywhere in this world, including the unregenerate people. That’s why Daniel sees the kingdom of God being established on earth, at the same time becoming the Kingdom of heaven. There is a distinction between kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of God. Only the King James Bible categorizes Kingdom of God and Kingdom of heaven separately, and if you don’t know this, you’ll get confused. Daniel is seeing the kingdom of God and kingdom of heaven at the same time since he does not know the Age of Grace.             We must pay attention to the fact that the kingdom of God and the kingdom of heaven will come simultaneously in the earthly millennial kingdom after Jesus Christ returns to earth and judges every Gentile nations of this world. When Jesus Christ returns, from that moment on, all Jews have full authority to expect that the Lord will destroy all nations of the Gentile world and establish His kingdom. The Jews should know that only then, they will receive God’s promised kingdom. That’s why many preach the book of Daniel to the Jews. Israeli missionaries preach this in Hebrew language, conveying these words of Daniel chapter 2. The Lord came to earth as the King back in His First Coming. In order to introduce this king, John the Baptist was born to introduce the Jewish King Jesus Christ unto the Jews. That was John’s sole purpose to be birthed into this world. He preached out in the wilderness of Judea, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. (Matthew 3:1-2 KJV) Here comes the king. That very kingdom of heaven prophesied by Daniel is at hand.’ However the Jews didn’t know what that meant. There was no way to explain it. The Jews were expecting the Lord to sit on the throne of the King after God had destroyed the world government and established His kingdom. That is what Daniel is prophesying, but in fact, had the Jews accepted Jesus Christ as the Messiah 2000 years ago at His First Coming, the kingdom would have already come to Israel back then.             However, God postponed it because the Lord had to die in order to save everyone. But they crucified and killed Jesus Christ. That’s why the Kingdom was delayed. In Christ before the foundation of the world, it was predestined that we too would be adopted as God’s children. the bride of Christ.

7-2-2023 Sunday Sermon MessageMeditations of the Week: Psalm 91:1-16Text: Revelation 22:16-21Word title: The Spirit and the Bride preach the gospel for the last time just before the Rapture       Apostle John testifies the scene where the Holy Spirit in the bride of Christ testifies the gospel to the world for the last time just before the imminent Rapture:Revelation 22:17 (KJV) And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. Revelation 22:21 (KJV) The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you all. Amen.        The Lord Jesus Christ, who testified of every word of Revelation said, Surely I come quickly. unto the Apostle John, He immediately responded to the Lord. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.       The Holy Spirit, who came to the world as the Comforter on the day of Pentecost 2,000 years ago, enters into all who repent and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ whom the Holy Spirit testifies of and accepts Him as Lord and Savior, so that the Kingdom of God may be established within them, and from then on Rejoicing in God (Rom 5:11) in righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit (Rom 14:17), disregarding the works of the flesh, but to live a life of witnessing only Christ Jesus, by the indwelling Holy Spirit until the day of rapture, the day of Christ, when the Lord appears in the air.Now, just before the Holy Spirit is transferred to heaven with the bride of Christ, to all the people of the world, They are preaching the gospel until the last moment with the desire for them to be saved by grace and receive eternal life by believing in the death, burial and resurrection on the third day of the Lord Jesus Christ (1Cor 15:1-3), and to participate in the rapture.      Apostle Paul clearly testified to the Thessalonian church saints about the times and the seasons when the Spirit and the Bride will be transferred to heaven:2 Thessalonians 2:2-8 (KJV) That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for [that day shall not come], except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth [will let], until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:         The Apostle Paul is testifying about the times and season near the day of Christ, the day of rapture. He warned of deceivers and also testified that day will not come unless the church falls away and the son of perdition, the antichrist, appears. He also testified the timing of the appearance of the antichrist, that the Wicked one will appear when the blocker is taken out of the way.      There are different opinions as to who the blocker is, but God will not reveal the wicked Antichrist until the bride of Christ is raptured and taken to heaven with the Holy Spirit. We need to understand this more clearly through the Bible. This is what we know from the testimony of the apostle John:Revelation 4:1-3 (KJV) After this I looked, and, behold, a door [was] opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard [was] as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and [one] sat on the throne.

Daniel #4 God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, our Lord Jesus Christ, Father of glory, may your name be hallowed. We look forward to the kingdom of God the Father that will be fulfilled in heaven and on earth and in the New Jerusalem, and we want to put our hope in the Word. Help us, Lord, to see your glory in the Word by giving us wisdom and understanding through the Holy Spirit. Please help all the members of this church to wear the full armor of the Word and not be deceived while living on earth and overcome the spiritual battles, so that they can all stand out as soldiers of the cross. Like Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, help us to overcome the world by fully trusting only the Lord. We give thanks and pray in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.             (Daniel 2:31-43 KJV) ¶ Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible. This image’s head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass, His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay. Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces. Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth. This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king. Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory. And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou art this head of gold. And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth. And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise. And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters’ clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay. And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken. And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay. The head is gold, Nebuchadnezzar and his Babylonian empire. The Babylonian king reigned for about 70 years, from 606 to 536 BC. When Daniel said Thou art this head of gold, this also describes Nebuchadnezzar and Babylon. However verse 39 says there will rise another inferior kingdom to Babylon and Nebuchadnezzar, trickling down all the way to the fourth kingdom. So in other words, the king and the kingdom are described as same at the same time. Daniel 7:17 is a scene where four beasts rise out of the sea. Concerning these beasts, the Bible says that these four great beasts are four kings who will arise from the earth. In Daniel 7:21, the fourth beast will become the fourth kingdom on earth. We’ll come back to this later. The image’s chest and arms are silver. These are the kingdoms of Medes and Persia. Historically it was the Medean King Darius and King Cyrus of Persia. Iran is the descendants of the Persians. Modern Iranians are attempting to bring back the old Persian empire through their nuclear programs.
