"Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom (of heaven)   prepared for you from the foundation of the world (Matthew 25:34).   "Then he will say to those on his left, Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels (Matthew 25:41). Here we see two groups of people and two places. The first group of people (on his right) is righteous, who put their trust in the Lord Jesus's righteousness. This group becomes righteous through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. They believed in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, repented of their sins,   and accepted the gift of salvation.   The first place described is that the kingdom of heaven, prepared for this group on his right.   These are the people who prayed for God's will be done in their lives. God granted their request.  The second group of people is unrighteous, who put their trust...

How can a Holy God be jealous? A few days ago, a young man asked me how God can be jealous when jealousy is sinful? Let me explain with a hypothetical situation. Suppose you met a beautiful girl and you both loved each other and got married.   After a while, if your wife is flirting with a friend of yours, will you be jealous?   Is it wrong for you to be jealous? It is not wrong for you to be jealous, because she belongs to you and you only, and you belong only to her. It would help if you were jealous so that you can help her and correct the situation in any way possible. Instead, if you are not jealous, you are harming your marriage and your family. Jealously is not always a bad thing as righteous anger is not bad.  Although jealousy and envy are interchangeably used in our modern English language, they mean different things.   Sinful jealousy (or envy) is coveting something that does not belong to you. Here is an example of sinful jealousy about King Saul. "...

Buckingham Palace I magine, if you are invited to the Buckingham Palace by an exclusive invite from the queen. When the special day arrived, you dressed up in your best attire and brought a special expensive gift for the queen. The butler welcomes you into the palace. You are delighted to meet the butler as he is very helpful in the new place. You started talking to the butler for a long time, and you liked him. But then, the butler announced to you that her majesty would be anticipating him any moment. You tell the butler I am not interested in meeting the queen as we are having a good time looking around the palace and having a pleasant conversation. You say to the butler I will give you the gift I brought for the queen and in a short while I will take leave. After reading this, you are thinking; I would never do such a thing. It is a great honor to be the guest of the queen. As a Christian, if you believe truly that Jesus Christ is the King of kings and Lord of Lords, you wo...

Home ““Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?”  Jesus answered: "...You will hear of wars and rumors of wars,.. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.  All these are the beginning of birth pains." ” [Matthew 24:3, 6-8] "The coming of the LORD" T he manifestation of Christ’s coming is His return to earth in power and great glory to reign as King of kings and Lord of lords. The Rapture will not be seen by the world; it takes place in a split second. But every eye will see Christ when He comes to reign. Therefore it is called the manifestation of His presence (parousia). During the first half of the Tribulation, many false messiahs will appear who will succeed in deceiving multitudes. The current rise of many false cults may be a prelude to this, but it is not a fulfillment. These false religious ...
