Jerusalem, The City Of God - Part Four

Acts 1:9-11 describes Jesus speaking to His Disciples just before He ascended back to Heaven "Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up and a cloud received Him out of their sight. And when they looked steadfastly toward Heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, who also said, '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.'"

This is another proclamation that Jerusalem is the City Of God. Jesus, the True Son of the True God, was born near Jerusalem, performed three years of miracles in Jerusalem, died and was resurrected in Jerusalem and will return to Jerusalem to set up His Kingdom. Jeremiah 3:17 says, "At that time Jerusalem shall be called The Throne Of The Lord and all the nations shall be gathered to it, to the name of the Lord, to Jerusalem."

How and when will Jesus establish "The Throne Of The Lord" in Jerusalem? The Word Of God illustrates seven years of difficult times for Jerusalem when the Anti-Christ rules. This is described as the Tribulation Period. However, Jehovah God is still in control and at the end of the seven years Zechariah 14:4 describes Jesus returning to the Mount Of Olives. "And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount Of Olives." Jesus will return to the Mount Of Olives just as described in Acts 1:9.

Jesus returning to the Mount Of Olives is also the fulfillment of Psalm 2:6-8 saying, "Yet I have set My King on My Holy Hill of Zion. I will declare the decree; The Lord has said to Me, You are My Son, today I have begotten You. Ask of Me, and I will give you the nations for Your inheritance and the ends of the earth for Your possession."

In closing, Romans 11:26 says, "And so all Israel will be saved." It is believed that when Jesus returns to the Mount Of Olives, the Jewish people will see Him as their Messiah and will be saved. However, all who have read this message and desire to be saved now should pray this prayer with me:

Jesus, I Know I Am A Sinner

Please Forgive Me Of All My Sins

I Proclaim Jesus Is Lord And Believe

God Raised Him From The Dead

Please Come To Live In My Heart

Grant Me Salvation And Eternal Life

Thank You My Savior And Lord

 Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Blessings,
