Book excerpt: In the last few years, while studying the gospels; I began to see (within the real life ministry of Jesus) a number of allegories being projected onto end time prophecy. These allegories became a clue, to be used in solving a puzzle. This was unique in my own experience of studying the scriptures, and very intriguing. The Book of Revelation has always posed a mystery to the reader. But the closer we get to the start of the Tribulation, the more this book calls out to the family of God to be understood. There's been much speculation made in the past regarding the last days; such as, the rebuilding of Solomon's temple, the Battle of Armageddon, who are the 144,000, and when is the rapture of the Saints. In my estimation, much of it was premature. I hope to show you, by use of the scriptures, that Jesus has made a way to escape all the things that are surely coming to pass. According to the promise of our Messiah, there is a group of believers who are going to be removed from this plane of existence at the beginning of the great Tribulation. "And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write, 'These things says He who is holy, He who is true, "He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens": "I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name….Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth Rev 3:7-10 NKJVAfter this promise is made to the believers in Philadelphia, Jesus addresses the Church at Laodicea, which is usually referred to as the “Lukewarm church.” In contrast to the Church at Philadelphia; this church sits behind a closed door, with Jesus standing on the outside, knocking on the door to be let in (Rev 3:20-21 NKJV). They don't see the door that Christ has opened for the Philadelphia believers. They are satisfied with the things of this world, and their leadership lacks vision concerning the signs of the times (Matt 16:3). Jesus appeals to each member of this congregation on a one to one basis; “If any (single) person hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me."The scriptures reveal that those who do not leave with the Philadelphia believers will come out of the Tribulation in intervals; as indicated in the original syntax of the text; by the (Greek) future progressive tense (in Revelation Chapter Seven). This progression terminates at the mid point of the Tribulation when those who remain, are caught up to be with Christ forever. This why Jesus admonished us to; Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass (the Great Tribulation), and to stand before the Son of man. Luke 21:36 KJV. There were two disciples of John the Baptist, who one day heard John say, “Behold the lamb of God.” After hearing those words, they began to follow Jesus. Then Jesus turned, and seeing them following, said to them, "What do you seek?" John 1:38 NKJVThat question is the same one he asking all believers right now, in a deepest and most personal way, “What do you seek?”They said to Him, "Rabbi" (Teacher), "where are You staying?" He said to them, Come and see. John 1:38-39 NKJVThese two disciples heard the testimony of John the Baptist (concerning Jesus), and then heard Jesus speak, they believed in him and followed him. This left them with only one thing to seek - the place where Jesus lives. I pray that each one of us will come to this same place in our walk with Christ; where there's only one thing left to seek – the place where he lives.
