He Is Coming

 

Good day, I’m Duane Matz and this is Today’s Living Word.

 

Zec 14:4 And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, Which faces Jerusalem on the east. And the Mount of Olives shall be split in two, From east to west, Making a very large valley; Half of the mountain shall move toward the north And half of it toward the south. 5 Then you shall flee through My mountain valley, For the mountain valley shall reach to Azal. Yes, you shall flee As you fled from the earthquake In the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Thus the LORD my God will come, And all the saints with You. 6 It shall come to pass in that day That there will be no light; The lights will diminish. 7 It shall be one day Which is known to the LORD-Neither day nor night. But at evening time it shall happen That it will be light. 8 And in that day it shall be That living waters shall flow from Jerusalem, Half of them toward the eastern sea And half of them toward the western sea; In both summer and winter it shall occur. 9 And the LORD shall be King over all the earth. In that day it shall be-"The LORD is one," And His name one.

 

Come Lord Jesus! And He wil,l just as Zechariah prophesied. Just pause and let some of these things concerning Judgment Day sink in and strengthen your faith. Jesus will return just like He said HE would!

 

As Zechariah said, “Thus the Lord my God will come.”(v5)

He ascended into heaven on the Mount of Olives and the angels said He will return in like manner. Ac 1:11, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven."

 

AND, according to Zechariah, the Lord will bring the departed saints with Him! “And all the saints with You,’ (v5) Just as we read in  1Th 4:16,17, “For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.  17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.

 

And we could go on and on here concerning the Last Day! For instance, that Day is only known to the Father! (v7)

 

The God created lights of the sun, moon, and stars become undone as Jesus cracks the atmosphere in all His frightful holiness! (v6)

 

Living waters ever flowing from Jerusalem, as mentioned in Re 22:1 And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb.

 

Even the splitting of the Mount of Olives serving as a picture of the division of the sheep (believers) and goats (unbelievers) as the Holy Son of God judges the nations!

 

It’s coming beloved, just as Zechariah and Jesus said it would! Hear the approaching hoofbeats, repent and believe the gospel! Turn to Jesus and live before it’s too late.
