Drawing All Men

 


Jesus Christ is drawing all men and women to Himself (John 12:32). Now is the time of judgment. The Lord is letting loose the due punishment on the world and the prince of this world. At the same time of this storm of God's Wrath, Jesus is calling to people to follow Him. Here in midst of the calamity people have the chance to choose Christ because He first chose them.

The Lord is calling to everyone. The verse, "many are called, but the few are chosen,"(Matthew 22:14) has been interpreted to mean that there are two classes of Christian believers. The truth is that everyone is called, but few choose or have chosen to answer that Call and follow Christ with every ounce of their being (NIV translation: "Many are invited, but few are (have) chosen"). The Narrow Gate is a great illustration of this. Jesus said, "The gate is a narrow that leads to heaven, but the gate leading to death is wide and has ample room for multitudes. The narrow path is found by few." (Matthew 7:13).

Jesus is the narrow gate and time is running out to enter it. People are convinced that there is plenty of time to waste before they seek out the Lord, but this is a deception, for Jesus said, "It shall be as the days of Noah, people will marry, have feasts, and have children, then the Flood came. It shall be like the days of Lot, everyone was marrying, and doing as they pleased and then fire fell down from heaven to consume Sodom. So it will be when the Son of Man (Jesus speaking of himself) shall return." (Luke 17:25-30). This denotes two things, that Jesus shall return suddenly and that wrath will follow, for the two examples he gives are of the Flood and Fire and Revelation clearly details that judgment is coming.

If you do not know Jesus Christ, now is the time. Pray this prayer while you still can,

"Jesus Christ, I repent and ask for forgiveness of all my sins. I believe you died for all my sins on the cross and can forgive my sins. You are Lord and Savior, please come into my heart, soul, and life. In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen."

If you prayed that prayer than you are born again, saved, a Christian, and a child of God. Congratulations and welcome to the family! The next steps are contained in this other blog post I wrote:

The Potrait of Jesus: What Christ Looked Like

What was Jesus’s appearance? Pseudo-historians at National Geographic and other publications argue that Jesus’ humanity was of Arab or African descent. This is impossible because Jesus our God was Son of David according to His flesh, “He promised beforehand through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures, regarding His Son, who was a descendant of David according to the flesh, and who through the Spirit of holiness was declared with power to be the Son of God by His resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord (God),” (Romans 1:2-4), and King David was described as the following, “So he sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy [red, ruddy, from the word admowniy {ad-mo-nee'}; from 'adam ; reddish of the hair or the complexion red, ruddy], with beautiful eyes and a handsome appearance. And the LORD said, "Arise, anoint him; for this is he. So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and from that day on the Spirit of the LORD came ...

Dispensationalism

John Nelson Darby (1800-1882) was a man who did two things, he took 70th week of the Book of Daniel and stretched out to the End Times, and he was the father of  Dispensationalism , a belief system that God dispenses different peoples with separate blessings and covenants. According to Darb'ys doctrine of Dispensationalism, God dispenses different covenants. There are total of seven dispensations that divide the history of man: I. Dispensation of Innocence (prior to the Fall, "Do not east of the Fruit of Good and Eve, Eden), II. Dispensation of Conscience ( You must assuage guilt and sin with blood sacrifices.) III. Dispensation of Human Government (Multiply and Subdue the world, example the Tower of Babel Gen 11:1-9, and Genesis 1:28). IV. Dispensation of the Promise (Dwell in Canaan, Jerusalem) V. Dispensation of the Law ("Obey the Law of Moses and the Prophets"). VI. Dispensation of Grace (The Church, Jesus Christ has come...

Orthodox Christianity and Messianic Judaism

There is a divide between the two sides of Christianity. One is lined by a rosary, the other with tallit (prayer shawl). In the west we tend to come from a Greco-Roman understanding of The Bible and Jesus Christ. We are saturated with images of the Crucifixion and see through the red lens of Calvary. Now The Messianic or Jewish perspective is becoming more prevalent as people begin to study the roots of the Christian faith. After all, Jesus was a Jew and his Twelve Disciples were all Jews of different sects and positions in society. By studying the Jewish roots of Jesus we come to understand the ancient customs, practices, rites, and traditions that are featured in the Old and New Testaments. We learn in Jewish tradition that a Rabbi had to be ordained by two rabbis and that when Jesus was asked, "by who's authority do you say these things?, (Luke 20:2)" the Pharisees were asking who had ordained Jesus and where he got his yoke (teachings), and Jesus responds, "wh...
