Mosiac Calendar Part 2:
"No man Knoweth the Day..." |
|||
Sunday, April 15, 2001 On a few occasions a few people have showed their ignorance of the Bible and have boldly offered the following statement of the Lord Jesus Christ to dispel my explanations:
Fairly, it must be asked was this said before the New Testament was written? Yes it was! Thus he was to obtain knowledge he did not at that time possess. Consider the following:
From these passages we learn that the Lord Jesus Christ would be the recipient of knowledge from Yahweh and that that information would be passed on to his servants which they were to learn perfectly. Consequently, we learn that God knew things that Jesus did not know which disproves the Trinity. Also notice that 1 Thess. 5 teaches that the children of light do not sleep spiritually and are not taken by the Lord Jesus Christ as a thief in the night. He only overtakes the children of darkness as a thief. The children of light are thus the recipients of salvation. In other words they don't have to worry about the judgment seat for they will be saved. Remember that they only are the recipients of forgiveness:
Hence, we should understand the things that are be written about if we are the children of the light and not of the darkness. Furthermore he did not have a universal calendar nor a wristwatch nor time zones like we do therefore could not give any accurate information for the United States or anywhere else the Gospel would come and thus no one would know what he was talking about. But he did use things that the people of his day and age could understand and which could be synchronized throughout the world. For example:
Here we are told the time in Jerusalem. It can be synchronized as follows: 6:00P.M. on May 7 to 6:00P.M. on May 8 (In Jerusalem) which equals 8:00A.M. on May 7 to 8:00P.M. on May 8 (In Los Angeles) 12:00A.M. on May 8 (In Jerusalem) which equals 2:00P.M. on May 7 (In Los Angeles) 5:00P.M. on May 7 (In New York city) 9:00A.M. on May 8 (In New Zealand) This represents the time of the second passover this year which is being represented in this parable. But we believe the cry can only be appropriately understood when the first passover is understood. Consider:
Thus the Egyptians were crying in the first passover, and when the second is fulfilled Gentiles will be crying because of all the damages and destruction that the earthquakes will bring about. Just like the earthquake will lead to the resurrection of many it will lead to the death of many of the Gentiles. The firstborn of the Jews were saved whereas the firstborn of the Egyptians were slain in the first passover. Hence, there are many parallels between the first and second passover. We will try to look at these as we proceed with the article.
