The Coming of the Bridegroom Part 2

The Lord is coming back to possess the land and to claim His bride. Ephesians 5:31 says, For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother and shall be joined unto his wife and they two shall be one flesh. Verse 32 says This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the Church. He is leaving heaven and coming for His bride. But as He leaves and comes to earth, His presence causes great destruction. Read Psalm 19:4-6.

Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My words shall not pass away. Matt.24:35. Heaven and earth become Jericho and devoted to destruction.

Joshua 6:5

1. SHOUT
2. RAM’S HORN
3. PEOPLE ASCEND UP
4. WALLS OF JERICHO FALL

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

1. SHOUT
2. TRUMP OF GOD
3. PEOPLE CAUGHT UP
4. BABYLON FALLS, REV. 14:8

For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, and a voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God and the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 1Thess. 4:16-17

Notice the similarities in Joshua 6:5 and 1Thess 4:16:

JOSHUA 6:5 1THESS. 4-1

THE END OF HEAVEN Isaiah 13:1-13

In 1Thess. 4:16 the word “shout” in the Greek means cry of incitement, order, command. Incitement means urge to action.. Who is He commanding? What is He telling to do?

I believe He is telling His sanctified ones to rise up to meet Him and possess the land as the walls of Babylon fall just like the walls of Jericho fell. We must be Joshuas and Calebs and leave our wilderness with power and bring in the last days harvest. Souls will listen that would not hear. Eyes will see that could not see. They will all of a sudden “Believe!”

I believe there also is an answer in Isaiah 13:1 verse 3 says, ” I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also called my mighty ones for mine anger, even them that rejoice in My Highness. Verse 4 says The noise of a multitude in the mountains like as of a great people; the Lord of Hosts mustereth the host of the battle. Verse 5 says They come from a far country, from the END OF HEAVEN, even the Lord, and the weapons of His indignation, to destroy the whole land. Verse 6 says, Howl ye; for the Day of The Lord is at hand; it shall come as a destruction. The Lord is getting everything ready.
