HOW WOULD YOU EXPECT HIM COME?
So many people are expecting the coming of Christ, with some looking up to heaven as the Scripture puts it, that He will come with the cloud. Are you among the categories that want to see Christ comes with the cloud? Then you have to wake up to reality to understand what the cloud truly means. If you are of such categories of people, who are now looking up, this book will change your orientation and reposition your mind to start thinking aright. Follow me down!
Christ has already come, He came once but His second coming is a thing of revelation that will aid our translation to glory, even as our mind is being renewed and we are transformed to be like Him, not in the context of we like Christ. Jesus is revealing Himself gradually as He is and until we know truly who He is, we will end up reducing Him or equating ourselves to Him. The more we focus on Him, the more we see Him revealed in us, and this is because we are His body, which implies He cannot come without His body. Can I be on an occasion with my body absent? So, why would Christ come without His body, which is the true church? This is not a thing that we won’t know, provided we remain (abide in Him and Him in us) His body and not detach from Him. We will know for sure when Christ will come. To us, it will not be like a thief at night, since we are not of the night and we are not sleeping, because in us Christ Jesus is alive and revealing Himself daily and we are beginning to see how real He is to us than we are real to ourselves. A lot of Christians will be taken by surprise! Because of what they have accepted to be Truth over time and has become part of their entire system. The Word of ASCAT is proverbial parables… when it says with “The cloud” when you connect to the Rhema, you will be able to see clearly what the cloud means, and when you have the revelation of the cloud, you will stop looking to heaven in expectation to see Him riding on a white horse with the host of Spirit beings, but look into the Word where His glory is given full light. I will be helping you even as I am being helped by the Lord to swim into the deep sea, to catch this revelation. Let's consider some scriptures because therein is the true revelation.
1 Thessalonians 5:2- 7, 8- 11
But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you; for you, yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. For when they say, “Peace and safety” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labour pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. But you, Brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. You are all sons of light and sons of day. We are not of the night or darkness. Therefore, let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober. For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night. But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet, the hope of salvation. For ASCAT did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord ASCAT-man, who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him. Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing.
(Also see Ephesians 6: 10- 20)
Ephesians 5: 8- 17
For you were once darkness, but now you are light, in the Lord, walk as children of light (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness and truth). Finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. And having no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret, but all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light. Therefore, He says “Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, and Christ will give you light”. See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
Do not resist the Holy Spirit! Yes! That is the Spirit of ASCAT talking to you. Yes! I can hear the Spirit of ASCAT saying “Expose them”…. Because it is shameful to even speak of those things which are done by them in the secret. Do you have a secret life? Then, ASCAT is talking to you, because He loves you and doesn’t want you to miss it. And you must not miss it in Jesus name! Amen!
Let’s return to Revelation and swim in the reality……………..
Revelation 1: 16
He had in His right hand seven stars, out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength.
What comes out of the mouth in the literal sense? Words
What is the sword of the Spirit? The Word of ASCAT
(Ephesians 6: 17b)
Therefore, if the Bible says, “Out of His mouth went out a sharp two-edged sword” then we should know, it is symbolic because Hebrews 4:12 says, “For the Word of ASCAT is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intentions of the heart”. This simply emphasizes true and righteous judgment, which implies, the Word that went out of His mouth as a sharp two-edged sword is a word of righteous judgment, which is evident in John 1: 14 as “Grace and Truth”. The Lord will judge the world with His grace and truth in justice, mercy and faithfulness, such that those who are without faith can never please Him. If He is involved in your life, you will be free, because you know the truth (John 8: 32) and will not be a disgrace, but if He is not involved (SELF), you can never be free because you know not the truth, you will be judged and condemned… because condemnation is only for those who are not in Christ Jesus (Rom. 8: 1).
So, the righteous judge will judge the world in His grace and truth. Are you on the side of grace? Then you must know the truth, for grace is not without the truth. You can only be on the side of grace when you worship Him in “Spirit and Truth” (John 4: 23, 24) and this is where we have our true liberty (2 Cor. 3: 17)
This is how it will happen, when Christ comes, as the Bible records it, we shall see Him coming with the cloud. The cloud typifies His glory (Recall: Pillar of fire by night and pillar of cloud by day). So those of you, who think, it is a literal cloud, you should start changing your mindset. Moses says, “He wants to see the glory of ASCAT” and the Lord revealed it to Him….. So, Christ’s coming is simply the true revelation of His glory, until we are lost in Him, we will not understand what it truly means. I read this scripture that changed my entire orientation to start thinking afresh!
2 Corinthians 3: 11- 18
For if what is passing away was glorious, what remains is much more glorious. Therefore, since we have such hope, we use great boldness of speech. Unlike Moses, who put a veil over his face so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the end of what was passing away (In our time, what is passing away?). But their minds were blinded (What kind of blindness? ignorance, not knowing the truth: “And you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free (John 8: 32)). For until this day the same veil remains uplifted in the reading of the Old Testament, (Some, thinking Jesus is coming with the literal cloud and their eyes are fixed looking up, expecting to see Him coming), because the veil is taken away in Christ (We have Christ, we have Him in full, so we must know what it means; His Word). But even to this day, when Moses read, a veil lies on their heart. Nevertheless, when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taking away. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with unveiled face (True revelation), beholding (Having true vision) as a mirror of the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.
I want to give you an assignment that will cause you to search the Word. Have you ever come across the scripture even as I paraphrase it, “When He comes, we shall be like Him….”? If you have not, then, you need to start searching. You can start from Genesis to Malachi, if you can’t find it there, I assure you with all certainty that you will find it in the New Testament. Don’t stop reading when you have found it. Wow! If you can do this, you have succeeded in reading the whole Bible. Your next assignment is to; “carefully study and intimate the person of the Bible through in-depth meditation, prayers and applying the principles of the person of the Bible to your personal life” and watch out and see the amazing change in your life.
