T#091 The FINAL Look Of or How THE KINGDOM or THE CHURCH of God --- still LIVING In This World --- WILL BE @ THE CHRIST's 2nd COMING!

>>MATTHEW

25:1-13


 The Last Look
Of or How

 THE KINGDOM

of GOD in

This World

(THE CHURCH)

Would Be Visibly

Observed

IN THIS WORLD


shortly before and

during the time of

THE CHRIST's

Second Coming!

>>The conditions obtaining in the world shortly before THE CHRIST's second coming

  • can be read and studied from
  • >>Matthew 24:35-39.

And the call for OUR readiness
  • is reiterated 4 times in >>verses 39, 42, 44, and 50.
  • The emphasis is not on when HE shall come
  • but HOW for us
  • to be ready before HE comes!

And there is that faithful and sensible slave as distinguished from the evil slave --- among the same master's slaves;
 2 men in the field, 2 women grinding at the mill,
 5 prudent - 5 foolish virgins.


THE TRUTH TO BELIEVE HERE:


That ALL of us
in THE CHURCH
will ONLY then

  • find ourselves either
  • RIGHT or WRONG
  • in OUR respectively
  • PRESSUMED
  • relationships with THE CHRIST!

It will be
THE TRAGEDY of
TRAGEDIES

  • for the many in THE CHURCH 
  • who ONLY then WILL KNOW 
  • they were mistaken in their beliefs & practices 
  • because they were merely based on their OWN SOULISHNESS
  • only from their understanding via the dictates of their intelligences, emotions, urges & appetites and wills
>>>T#032
  • because they have not grown SPIRITUALLY with THE CHRIST!

 No wonder,
those many who
continue to disregard
& disobey particularly

>>1st Corinthians 14:15 and >>John 4:23-24
 >>> T#011, 012, 014, 031

in their Praise & Worship
RITUALS & SHOWS

  • they put all-out importance serving THE LORD

MOST SINCERELY THIS WAY

  • will find themselves SINCERELY WRONG 
  • --- [ONLY] at that time! >>Matthew 7:21-23.

No wonder, we are told in
>>2nd Corinthians 3:5

  • to examine OURSELVES --- not others(!) 
  • to see whether we are in THE FAITH


>>> T#003
  • -- AND TEST OURSELVES pa gyud!! 
  • "Test everything. Hold on to the good. Avoid every kind of evil."
  •  >>2nd Thessalonians 5:21-22.

 No wonder we are told
to EXAMINE

 THE SCRIPTURES

 EVERYDAY TO SEE
if THESE CURRENT

  • WE NOW(!) SEE PROLIFERATING 
  • (even TRADITIONS from centuries-away-learners-of-Paul's writings)
  • ARE REALLY & AUTHENTICALLY BIBLICAL! 

 MORE SO WHEN WE FEEL
CONFIDENT WE ARE 
VERY CLOSE TO GOD IN
OUR PRAYERS,

OUR PRESUMPTIONS
IF NOT VERIFIED

 CAN VERY WELL
WRECK HAVOC


 OF UN-IMAGINABLE PROPORTIONS
TO MANY LIVES!!!

>>Genesis 18:20-33, >>19:28-32

 Let us therefore be wise
according to
>>Matthew 7:24-29.


Back to >>Matthew 25:1-13
>>Verses 1 & 2 = =
  • all the TOTALITY
  • (10 representing the total number of us THE CALLED-OUT)
  • anticipating to meet our BRIDEGROOM
  • From >>Psalms 109:105
  • the lamp is symbolic of THE WORD
  • nga nato gisipit-sipitan
  • .... as many of us do now!!!

>>Verse 2 = =
  • 5 of them foolish
  • 5 of them prudent
  • --- NO  MIDDLE  GROUND
  • either ra gyud, foolish or prudent!


>>Verse 3 = =
  • the foolish DID NOT HAVE OIL WITH THEM
  • (OIL has always been emblematic of THE HOLY SPIRIT)
  • THE INDWELLING of THE HOLY SPIRIT

is THE ONLY OIL that can last

  • until THE 2nd Coming
  • of JESUS from heaven!

>>Verse 4 = =
  • the prudent had with them THE INDWELLING of THE HOLY SPIRIT

as they carried
THE WORD of GOD
with them.

  • JESUS by example did not go into administering THE WORD
  • without first getting HIMSELF baptized (>>Matthew 3:13 to 4:17).
  • And so did Paul (>>Acts 9:10 - 22).
  • And so, all of us ought to do

--- if we are to be the
authentic disciples as

 the first 3,000 did 
on That Pentecost Day of
A.D. 33

 as recorded in
>>Acts 2:14-38!



>>Verse 5 = =
  • all in THE CHURCH gets sleepy
  • waiting for THE BRIDEGROOM
  • when in fact HIS delayed return

is to give all of us more time
to continue to repent 
(>>2nd Peter 3:9)
https://umpg.blogspot.com/2013/09/t002-grade-i-repentance-kun-pagbinag-o.html

  • and not just be carrying HIS WORD.


>>Verse 6 = =
  • THE COMING of JESUS
  • is without previous notice/announcement.
  • Only The Father knows
  • and absolutely none of us
  • should endeavor to know when
  • --- because to forewarn anyone with a date
  • would be to contradict GOD's PLAN
  • of no previous notice/announcement.

THEN, we will just have
to obey
to come out to meet HIM
--- whether prepared or not.



>>Verse 7 = =
  • then all of us in THE CHURCH
  • will rise up PROVING or DISPROVING
  • OUR READINESS for HIS coming!

>>Verses  8, 9, & 10 = =
  • and the foolish among us will want to make up for their unreadiness
  • ....  only then REALIZING these SAD FACTS for them:

        1. PREPARATION is AN INDIVIDUAL-to-INDIVIDUAL person-to-person RESPONSIBILITY.


        2. PREPAREDNESS cannot be asked at the time of need; it has to be accomplished before the hour of need.


        3. At that time, EVEN THOSE WHO HAVE ALREADY BEEN PREPARED according to GOD's PLAN


will not and cannot be
of help then ---


for the preparedness of those who are not yet prepared by then.
 
                   
>>Verses 11 & 12 = =
  • last ditch effort will never do.
  • ONLY THEN WILL THEY REALIZE THESE FURTHER SAD FACTS:

        4. There simply is no alternative IF YOU ARE NOT YET READY by THEN!


        5. The time
https://umpg.blogspot.com/2014/01/t098-time.html

to be prepared is NOW!


Verse 13 = =
  • Be on the alert NOW!
  • for you do not know
  • and even does not have to know
  • the day nor the hour!
  • LET us be alert in our

--- as we continue live
repentant lives

  • --- THE NEW LIFESTYLE while awaiting
  • removed of all blemishes already
  • upon HIS RETURN from heaven!
