When Jesus came to our world 2,000 years ago, He and His message of love and salvation were rejected by the leaders of His own people. Yes, they wanted a savior, a messiah, a great king, but not one born in a barn and raised as a poor carpenter, who chose humble fishermen, tax collectors, drunks, and prostitutes as His friends and followers. Few of the rich and powerful of His day were interested in the freedom of spirit He offered to those who would receive the truth He spoke. They only wanted freedom from Rome and Roman taxes. Nor did they desire the eternal treasures and rewards He promised to all who would believe in and follow Him. They wanted a messiah, a king who could make them wealthy and powerful material kingdom there and then. |

This man, Jesus Christ, the Son of the Creator of the universe, said, ALL AUTHORITY HAS BEEN GIVEN TO ME IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH. (Matt.28:18) He could have taken over the world and made Himself king in one day! He told the Roman governor before whom He was tried, You could have no power over Me at all, unless it was given to you by My Father. (John 19:11).

He told Peter, Do you think that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He will provide Me with more than twelve legions of angels?. (Matthew 26:53) When He hung dying on the cross where He was crucified, and the religious leaders taunted, You saved others, if You're really the Son of God, save Yourself. (Mark 15:29-32) He could have done that. BUT HE CHOSE TO DIE FOR YOU AND ME!!

After He rose from the grave, He could have shown Himself to the High priests, the governor, or Ceasar himself. He could have proved to them and the world that He was indeed the Son of God, the Messiah, and He could have forced them all to worship Him. Instead He appeared only to those who already believed in Him and loved Him, in order to comfort them and encourage their faith.

For 2,000 years, Jesus and His Kingdom have remained unseen to this world, manifested only in the hearts and lives of those who love and receive Him by faith. This is the mystery that many of His own people in His day couldn't understandh and that many today cannot seem to grasp: He offers each of us a choice to receive or reject Him. This is still the Age of Grace, of choice, when we must believe His Word and receive Him by faith.

But the day is coming VERY SOON when this present age will be over and all the word WILL See the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. (Matthew 24:29-31). For He has promised to come again, and according to numerous fulfilled prophecies describing world conditions immediately before Jesus returns, the time is at hand.

We are NOW living in the Final Last Days of man's cruel and destructive rule on earth. From all indications, the last seven years of man's rule are almost upon us. This period will begin with the rise of a totally godless one-world government that will be led by a Devil-possessed dictator, the Antichrist. The final 3 of the seven years is known as the Great Tribulation (Daniel 8:23-25, 9:27, 11:21-45, Matthew 24:15,21, 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12, Revelation chapt. 13)

Jesus said, Immediately after the tribulation of those days...the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the wicked will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. (Matthew 24:29-30).

This time He is not coming as a meek and mild babe in a manger, God in the hands of man, but as the almighty KING OF KINGS, and it will be man in the hands of God. The trumpets of God will sound and Jesus' mighty voice will thunder from the heavens, [i]COME UP![i]. and all of His saved children will be caught up together with Him in the clouds, rising in immortal victory over the forces of the satanic Antichrist.
