Easter and The Return of The Lord Jesus

A food for thought just for you during this Easter.

by Erebari Dan Naagbi, preparing the world for the return of the Lord Jesus Christ.

At The FROG as the name signifies, we Fully Rely On God Almighty for His sovereignty, faithfulness and promises which are ever sure. He is The Lord God supreme, our eternal creator. What He does He will say, and what He says He will do. And because of His unfeigned love towards us, He had also led us into more divine spiritual discoveries, so that we can align ourselves with His very own divine will.

Throughout the whole universe and at this time of the year, many people in one way or the other are celebrating what we know as Easter, which is the crucifixion, burial and resurrection of our Lord. But because their expectation has dwindled, and the focus shifted away from the basic necessity and the actual purpose which is the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, and fixed on the exchange of gifts as they celebrate each Easter, it is expedient that we examine the basic truth which many people had overlooked and abandoned over the years, by turning away from the fact to their various pernicious ways instead of purifying themselves and waiting earnestly for the sure return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

In the previous issue, we proved without reasonable doubt that Christmas that we all are celebrating now, is the direct fulfillment of what God had said in the past. Likewise, what we are now celebrating as Easter, is also the direct fulfillment of what God had said in time past. In this regard, I will therefore draw our attention to some of the key prophecies that were given and were also fulfilled.

The Prophet Isaiah said, "He was numbered with the transgressors. Isaiah 53:12 

Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

Fulfilled in Mark 15:27-28 And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left. And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors.

^{Not one of his bone will be broken. Psalm 34:20}

He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.

Fulfilled in John 19:32-33 Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him. But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs:


These words are the ones that Jesus himself spake, and were also fulfilled.

Jesus said that peter will deny him 3 times.  Matthew 26 34-35

Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.
Fulfilled in Matthew 26:69-75 And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee. Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew. And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly. 

Therefore, in the light of all these basic truths, it is expedient that as we celebrate this Easter, we should bear in mind that just as these ones were fulfilled, so also will the other ones be . These and many other evidences establish the fact that when God says a thing, He will certainly do it.

Now, the Bible says that The Lord Jesus Christ came, finished the work for which He came, which was to die on the cross for the sin of the whole world, and that he has gone up to heaven. But before He left, He made another promise just like the other Biblical prophecies, for he said in John 14: 1-3 "Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also."

     

This is the blessed hope of all believers in the Lord Jesus Christ. But because it had been a long time, and for over two thousand years ago that this promise was made, and nothing has happened, many people feel that The Lord's return is a joke. That is why they now do whatever evil they are doing, and even many Christians who once were very zealous for the work of God had backslid.den and gone back in the way of unbelievers to do whatever pleases them.

Now that you have known that He is coming, how are you preparing for it? Are you still doing whatever you want to do, or are you celebrating this Easter with the expectation of His return. Those who were Christians and had fallen away because the Lord tarries, would you repent and come back to Him now? And  those who had not given their lives to The Lord Jesus Christ, would you consider doing it now? The Bible says in 1 John 3:3 that every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.  
May you be found worthy when He comes in Jesus name.

Beware, He is coming soon!

Now, Know ye therefore, that Jesus Christ is Lord.

Whether you choose to believe him or not, I and my family will continue to believe him.

Whether you choose to trust him or not, I and my family will continue to trust him. And,

Whether you choose to obey him or not, I and my family will continue to obey him.

You are blessed. Jesus loves you, and I do too.
