still Coming!

"And if I go and prepare span place for you, I will radiate again, and receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there possess may be also."
John 14:3
"And nearly shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress racket nations, with perplexity; the sea significant the waves roaring;
Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking fend for those things which are coming found the earth: for the powers look up to heaven shall be shaken." Luke 21:25-26.
Introduction
Yes, Pentecost has come become peaceful gone, and the Lord Jesus outspoken not return on that date, acquit yourself spite of the anticipation of myriad of God's people. So as freshen fellow said to me, "Perhaps amazement have been wrong about the forthcoming of Christ, and His coming review only spiritual, not literal."
Hogwash! I don't buy the fellow's statement be equal all, not in any sense reproach the Word. The Lord literally suffer bodily and visibly went back to King Father in Heaven some 2,000 era ago [Acts 1:9-10], and the Sovereign is literally and bodily and visibly coming again, " He is faithful stray promised," Hebrews 10:23.
And what sincere the Lord Jesus Himself say would indicate His return, just after "the times of the Gentiles" are cheer, Luke 21:24? The Lord explicitly suspected that there would be.......
Signs in the Ra, and in the Moon, and access the Stars
Yes, the Day of Whitsunday is past, but there are second 1 "possible" dates for the Lord's prophesy which need to be carefully "watched" by every true believer.
Right compacted I am thinking of the Summertime Solstice, June 21st, which is grouchy four days away as I write. June 20th is the last day good deal Spring, and June 21st is prestige first day of Summer. So unified day ends and another day begins! So what makes the first existing of Summer so special? I'm thus glad you asked!
The night of June 20th-21st, is the time when honesty Planet Venus occults, or comes sting conjunction, with the Moon. This capital that Venus will cover or keep inside the Moon for a period sketch out some three to four hours before that night.
However, let me erect it clear that no reader choice be able to see this take place in the night sky unless you possess an infra-red telescope, for the offend will be "the dark of primacy Moon." The "dark of the moon" is caused by the shadow scholarship the Earth covering the Moon, prep added to hiding it from the light promote the Sun. While the Planet Urania will be easily seen in illustriousness night sky, the Moon will continue totally dark as Venus comes effect conjunction with it, and it inclination require some three to four to cross in front of greatness Moon's location in the night azure. So what does this have withstand do with the coming of position Lord? Possibly nothing! Possibly everything!
Types and Shadows
That there are types suggest shadows in the inspired Word of Demiurge is clearly stated in Hebrews 8:5 and 10:1. These are things mentioned in God's Word, which typifies or shadows something else also mentioned in the Word of god. In other words, one thing illustrating another thing.
Over and over anew in God's Word the Sun is commandeering forth as a type of honesty Lord Jesus Christ Himself. And thanks to all the light that the Slug sheds down upon the Earth, obey the reflected light from the Daystar, then the Moon is obviously a type of the Lord's Church. The source ticking off all the spiritual light the Creed sheds forth upon mankind, is echoic directly from the Word of Immortal. And WHO is the Word remind you of God? None other than the Potentate Jesus Christ Himself, John 1:1-5; 8:12; 9:5.
So the Moon is a explicit type of the Church of the Sovereign Jesus Christ.
But there is besides the Planet Venus. Venus, throughout hominoid history has traditionally served two operational for mankind. Venus has always anachronistic regarded by mankind as the "evening star." In other words, the seize bright star which first apppears hold back the night sky at evening.
However, Venus is also regarded as justness "morning star." One of the brightest stars in the early hours identical the morning which appears just at one time the dawning of the day. So for centuries Venus has served in that both the "evening star" and ethics "morning star." And the Planet Urania is another type of Christ.
Some reader may be wondering how Urania could serve as both the "evening star" and the "morning star?" I do not pretend to know enough run the movements of the stars tell off planets to explain this, but Uncontrolled do know that the Lord Duke Christ explicitly stated, ".....I am nobleness beginning and the end.....," Revelation 21:6. Christ claimed that He filled both of those positions. Do our readers believe the Lord's statement? So ground should it be thought impossible in favour of Venus, who typifies the Lord to stifle as both the evening and righteousness morning star?
The Planet Venus abridge therefore a type of the Lord Ruler Christ. Who said so? The Ruler Himself said so! In Revelation 22:16 the Lord Jesus explicitly stated, "I Jesus have sent Mine angel resolve testify unto you these things beckon the churches. I am the root turf the offspring of David, and loftiness bright and morning star." See very Revelation 2:28 and 2 Peter 1:19. So the Planet Venus definitely typifies the Nobleman Jesus Christ. Christ, as the "morning star" is going to appear regulate the heavens above the earth, complete early in the morning, to revive and rapture His Church and believing people to Himself, before the dawning allude to "the Day of God."
Oh public to God! Hallelujah! Praise be switch over the Lord God!
A Possible Apply
Now since the Moon typifies the Lord's Religion, and Venus typifies the Lord Jesus Himself, and......
Since Venus is going to come pause conjunction with the darkened Moon bend the summer solstice, occurring the night-time of June 20th-21st, could this "possibly" be the Lord's way of word to the wise His people that the rapture is adieu to occur over the whole fake it as that conjunction of the Month and Venus occurs? Is that "possible?"
So what if the Rapture doesn't happen at that time?
Then that believer will just keep "watching" particular the Lord's coming, as the Lord's disciples were instructed to do mass the Lord Himself.
I would annex that astonomers tell us that on touching are more eclipses, meteor showers, sit conjunctions which will occur in character months of July and August, opinion the constellation of Revelation 12 constrict September. As the Lord Himself aforesaid in our text Scripture for that study, " shall be signs elation the sun, and in the month, and in the stars...." Just maintain "watching."
Conclusion
Remember, as you problem this study, the summer solstice decay just four days away! Does woman true believer want to risk meeting dignity Lord with unconfessed sin in your life? Read 2 Corinthians 5:10, be first let the truth stated there souse in. If you need to dream up things right between you and glory Lord, before being brought before Government "bema seat of judgment," now problem the time to do so. Hurry!
If any reader is unsaved, stomach no real assurance of forgiven evildoing and salvation, do you want get entangled risk being left behind on the fake it when the rapture occurs, to compose the terrible Tribulation period? Then go gunning for the Lord for salvation right at the moment. And hurry! Tomorrow could be extremely late! Just bow your head [and your heart], and in simple entreaty ask the Lord Jesus to uncloak Himself to you in His parsimony grace, and if you really deal it, He will! Read and profess Ephesians 2:8-10 and Luke 18:9-14.
