Always remember that real restoration and change will not happen until God's chosen is running the show. We are made to believe that the next great leader is the answer to the problems we face every
four years. People fall for it every three. Restoration is coming, but is only going to happen through the man whom God has appointed for the task. He has given verification to this by resurrecting this man from the dead (Acts 17). Christians as a whole are way too consumed with who is occupying the puppet post. Forget Caesar and follow God.
"When
the Messiah, who is our life, appears, then you too will appear with him in
glory!"
"Yeshua
said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life! Whoever puts his trust
in me will live, even if he dies;"
"And
this is the witness: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his
Son. Those who have the Son have the life; those who do not have the Son of God
do not have the life."
"For
the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a rousing cry, with a call
from one of the ruling angels, and with God's shofar; those who died united
with the Messiah will be the first to rise; then we who are left still alive
will be caught up with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and thus
we will always be with the Lord. So encourage each other with these words."
"Dear
friends, we are God's children now; and it has not yet been made clear what we
will become. We do know that when he appears, we will be like him; because we
will see him as he really is."
"When
sown, it is without dignity; when raised, it will be beautiful. When sown, it
is weak; when raised, it will be strong."
"…so
also the Messiah, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will
appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are
waiting for Him."
"I
continued watching in the night visions, and I saw One like a son of man coming
with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was escorted
before Him. He was given authority to rule, and glory, and a kingdom; so that
those of every people, nation, and language should serve Him. His dominion is
an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and His kingdom is one that
will not be destroyed."
"And
Enoch, in the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied about them: Look! The
Lord comes with thousands of His holy ones to execute judgment on all, and to
convict them of all their ungodly deeds that they have done in an ungodly way,
and of all the harsh things ungodly sinners have said against Him."
"God
now commands all people everywhere to repent, because He has set a day on which
He is going to judge the world in righteousness by the Man He has appointed. He
has provided proof of this to everyone by raising Him from the dead."
"The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Messiah, and He will reign forever and ever!"
"The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Messiah, and He will reign forever and ever!"
"Blow
the shofar in Zion; sound the alarm on My holy mountain! Let all the residents
of the land tremble, for the Day of the LORD is coming; in fact, it is near…a
great and strong people appears, such as never existed in ages past…there is no
escape from them…they gallop like war horses…They bound on the tops of the
mountains...like a mighty army deployed for war…Nations writhe in horror before
them…They attack as warriors attack; they scale walls as men of war do. Each
goes on his own path, and they do not change their course…They dodge the
missiles, never stopping...They storm the city; they run on the wall; they
climb into the houses…The LORD raises His voice in the presence of His army.
His camp is very large; Those who carry out His command are powerful. Indeed,
the Day of the LORD is terrible and dreadful-- who can endure it?"
