While He Can Still Be Found...


There is haunting verse by the prophet blank who says, "seek the Lord while He can still be found." (Isaiah 55:6). At first this is quizzical remark, where is the Lord going? Will there come a time when you cannot find Him? The answer is yes. There is coming a time when seeking Christ will end and He shall be seen by all. (Revelation 1:7). In this moment, the Second Coming, the saints will be changed (1 Corinthians 15:51-52), the Dead in Christ will rise first, (1 Thessalonians 4:16) and the wicked shall be thrown in furnace of hell fire (Matthew 13:49-50). A Judgment will take place, one that will be a "winepress of wrath and bloodshed that will cover the expanse of two hundred miles!" (Revelation 14:20).

But cannot Christ be sought when He returns? How is it not finding Jesus when He comes. The Truth is that then it is too late. If you have not found Jesus Christ as your Lord, Savior, and God then you are condemned (John 3:17-20) and chance to find Him is over. For Jesus will say, "I never knew you, depart from me you workers of inequity (evil, lawlessness)!" (Matthew 7:21-23). The Lord Jesus will return like a "theft in the night." (1 Thessalonians 5:2, Revelation 16:15). Those who know Jesus keep watch in prayer and vigilance over their actions. They spend the time until His Second Coming communing with Him and expecting His Return.

There is a point when it will be too late and the seeking will cease. In that hour all who have not found Jesus will be subject to judgment. Their chance to have His Mercy and Blood Covering will have passed and they shall go before the White Throne of God's Judgment and the "Books shall be opened and they will be judged according to their deeds. And if anyone is not found in Book of Life (Those Jesus knows), they shall be thrown into the lake of fire" (Revelation 20:12-13,15). Those deeds will not save them for the Word says, "If one has sinned, they have commited all sins and are guilty of all sin," (Ezekial 19:20-24, James 2:10) and likewise, "it only takes one sin to separate you from God." (Isaiah 59:2). In contrast, one who believes in Jesus Christ shall, "For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 8:39). Only Jesus Christ's Blood Sacrifice and Propitiation can give a person acquittal (Ephesians 1:7. Ephesians 2:13, 1 John 1:7, 1 John 2:2, Titus 2:14, Hebrews 9:22, Revelation 1:5, Revelation 12:11, Romans 3:25) and anyone who has not believed on Jesus Christ and His All Sufficient Sacrifice shall be sentenced to judgment. (Mark 16:16, John 3;18, Hebrews 3:19).

It seems unfair to unbelievers. They say, "but if I didn't get a chance to know Christ, its not my fault! This is injustice!" Such arrogance. The Apostle Paul said, "For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles." (Romans 1:20-23). Jesus has given everyone a chance to believe at some point, but many will refuse out of their own free will and so how dare anyone accuse God! How hard is it to love, believe, and follow a God who suffered, paid your debt of sin, and died for you?! To reject such a sacrifice from the Savior is a clear sign that person is without sense.

The time is short and each second brings us closer to the Second Coming. Seek Jesus Christ now while He can be found, For if He finds you on that Day of His Return it will be too late. The door closes (Matthew 25:10) and the Virgins whose lamps were not lit shall be rejected (see Matthew 25:12). Those "abusing their household and drinking with the drunkards shall be sent to the outer darkness and gnashing of teeth in hell." (Matthew 24:49-51). We are given a gift, it is this life and the chance to follow Christ Jesus. If we are wise and know Jesus personally and follow Him we shall have abundant life (John 10:10), eternal life (John 17:3), and everlasting life (John 3:16, John 11:26).

Choose now to follow Christ while it isn't too late.

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...
