A Kingdom Prepared for you

“Then the King will tell those on his right hand, ‘Come, blessed of my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry, and you gave me food to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me drink. I was a stranger, and you took me in. I was naked, and you clothed me. I was sick, and you visited me. I was in prison, and you came to me.’” (Matthew‬ ‭25:34-36‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Just pause and think about this: God prepared the Kingdom for us—His children, from the foundation of the world.

He did not even make it for Himself. It was made beautiful, spacious, and glorious for us who have placed our faith in the name of Yahweh (before Jesus appeared)/Jesus (Yeshua).

“The King will answer and say to them, ‘I assure you and most solemnly say to you, to the extent that you did it for one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it for Me.’” (Matthew‬ ‭25:40‬ ‭AMP‬‬)

The righteous are instructed to do good to fellow believers who are Jesus’ brothers and sisters.

These are the ways of doing good to fellow believers that Jesus mentioned:
1. Feeding the hungry
2. Giving a drink to the thirsty
3. Showing hospitality by providing lodging
4. Clothing those who have no means to obtain basic necessities
5. Visiting and praying for the sick
6. Visiting those who are in prison and taking the Gospel to them

Every believer is a member of the body of Christ, so if you do good to a believer, you are doing it to Christ Jesus.

“Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don’t give up. So then, as we have opportunity, let’s do what is good toward all men, and especially toward those who are of the household of the faith.” (Galatians‬ ‭6:9-10‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

We are taught to do good towards all men, but especially to fellow believers. When we do good as we have opportunity, we are doing it as unto the Lord.

“And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.” (Colossians‬ ‭3:23-24‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

I understand how doing good can make you weary—when others are unappreciative or take advantage of you, despite you giving your best to do good. It can feel pointless at times because people can be so heartless.

However for you are doing good mainly as for the Lord Jesus, and not for men. The Lord will reward you, even if men’s intentions were impure.

We have a Kingdom prepared for us that is an unshakable inheritance. While we are here in this world, let us pray at all times, share the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and showcase God’s love by doing good, using the gifts and grace we have received. That is the best we can do while waiting for the Lord’s imminent return!

When Will Jesus Return for us?

““Now from the fig tree learn this parable. When its branch has now become tender, and produces its leaves, you know that the summer is near. Even so you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Most certainly I tell you, this generation will not pass away, until all these things are accomplished. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. But no one knows of that day and hour, not even the angels of heaven, but my Father only.” (Matthew‬ ‭24:32-36‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

When Jesus said “no one knows of that day and hour,” a Jewish audience who knows the Old Testament (Torah) will see the connection with the Feast of Trumpets (Yom Teruah).

It is celebrated at the same time as Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year).

The Bible says that on the Feast of Trumpets, the shofar (a cleaned-out ram’s horn) is to be sounded.

The Jews in charge of blowing the shofar would wait until the approximate date of the appearance of the new moon in the month of September, and watch intently, ready to blow the shofar once the first sliver of new moon is seen.

See this quote about Rosh Hashanah from Wikipedia:

“Since the time of the destruction of the Second Temple of Jerusalem in 70 CE and the time of Rabban Yohanan ben Zakkai, normative Jewish law appears to be that Rosh Hashanah is to be celebrated for two days, because of the difficulty of determining the date of the new moon.”

In other words, no one knows the day or hour of the new moon’s appearance—just like the Rapture!

See this quote too:

“The best-known ritual of Rosh Hashanah is the blowing of the shofar, a musical instrument made from an animal horn. The shofar is blown at various points during the Rosh Hashanah prayers, with a total of 100 blasts on each day. While the blowing of the shofar is a Biblical statute, it is also a symbolic "wake-up call", stirring Jews to mend their ways and repent. The shofar blasts call out: "Sleepers, wake up from your slumber! Examine your ways and repent and remember your Creator."”

Many Christians are mistaken that the Rapture happens at the last trumpet of the seven trumpets in the Book of Revelation. This would mean that the saints go through the Tribulation and are subject to God’s wrath that will be poured out on this world. However, this is not true.

“in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be changed.” (1 Corinthians‬ ‭15:52‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

On the Feast of Trumpets, a hundred blasts of the trumpet are sounded. The final blast of the trumpet is the “last trump”. The moment the last trump is founded, we will be transformed. Our mortal bodies will be changed into glorified immortal bodies.

Christians who have already died are called “the dead in Christ” or “asleep”. Bring asleep suggests that it is a temporary state; that they will wake up again.

It is significant that the Jews see the blowing of the shofar on the Feast of Trumpets as a “wake-up call” to awake sleepers from their slumber.

“Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.” (Daniel‬ ‭12:2‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

The resurrection of the dead will begin with the dead in Christ: all Old Testament and New Testament saints who are saved through faith in Yahweh/Yeshua (Jesus). Their physical bodies which have decayed will be formed back from the dust of the earth, and their spirit will go back into the body. Then, they will be simultaneously transformed with us who are alive and remaining.

Whether or not the Rapture of the saints literally occurs on the Feast of Trumpets or not, we understand that this feast is a picture of the Rapture. If you do not like this term, then you can also call it “the great escape”, “the snatching away”, or “harpazo”.

An archangel will sound many blasts on a heavenly shofar, and at the last blast, we will be changed and be caught up to meet Jesus in the air. It will be a great reunion to see all your loved ones who are asleep at the moment. We will embrace each other amid the clouds, and finally see the Lord face to face.

Are you ready to be receive your new body and to meet the Lord? The return of the Lord is the blessed hope for every Christian, and the signs in this world seem to show that we are in the season of the Rapture.

Once the first sliver of the ‘new moon’ appears, Jesus will stand up and come to receive His bride. Be watchful and excited, for we are not waiting for death, but for our bodily redemption!

Fullness of Joy

“Preserve me, God, for in you do I take refuge. My soul, you have said to Yahweh, “You are my Lord. Apart from you I have no good thing.” As for the saints who are in the earth, they are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.

Their sorrows shall be multiplied who give gifts to another god. Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take their names on my lips. Yahweh assigned my portion and my cup. You made my lot secure.

The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, I have a good inheritance. I will bless Yahweh, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons. I have set Yahweh always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety. For you will not leave my soul in Sheol, neither will you allow your holy one to see corruption. You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forever more.” (Psalms‬ ‭16:1-11‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Are you wondering who is “Yahweh”? This English rendering comes from the four Hebrew letters, yud hei vav hei, which spell the name of the triune Godhead. When pronounced in Hebrew, it would sound like “Yahweh”.

Whenever Bible translations put “LORD” in all capital letters, it indicates that they had swapped the original yud hei vav hei for LORD.

When you call “LORD”, no one knows which one you are addressing, but thankfully many portions of Scripture in the original Hebrew language makes it clear that when you put your trust in Yahweh, you will be saved.

Before Christ came to earth as a man with the name Jesus, salvation was received by placing one’s faith in the name of Yahweh.

Just as we are saved by believing and confessing Jesus (Yeshua) as our Lord today, our predecessors who lived before Christ was born were saved by believing and confessing Yahweh as their Lord.

It has always been salvation by grace through faith, for no one can earn salvation through works.

When you read the beautiful passage above, what especially jumps out at you? For me, it is that in God’s presence is fullness of joy.

It seems like many people are bound by wrong believing, such that they are afraid of God, and they pray with a ‘feeling not good enough’, fearing and trembling attitude.

They don’t have the revelation like David does. No wonder God called David “a man after My own heart”. David understood God’s love and grace, even though he was a man who lived under the dispensation of the Law. Yet, he had a personal relationship with God that allowed him to see the heart of God.

Think about it—everything that gives you true pleasure in this world, didn’t God create them? He is the Creator who makes things that bring joy and pleasure, for He is full of joy and every good thing.

When you pray, envision a happy God who is smiling and excited to hug you and bless you with good things.

““He arose, and came to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.” (Luke‬ ‭15:20‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Never has Abba God been depicted to be in a hurry, except in Jesus’ parable of the prodigal son. The only time He runs is to hug and kiss His wayward son who has returned home. He runs to show you that He loves you.

Wrong believing causes us to run in the opposite direction, afraid that He is in a hurry to punish us for our sins.

Why don’t you run into your loving heavenly Father’s arms today? Thank Him for His grace, love, favor, and blessings. Experience the fullness of joy in His presence and pleasures in His right hand forevermore!

#QuennaVlog
中秋又去台南了！
每到連假去台南好像是必須要做的事情之一
沒有為什麼的，就是一種一路向南的慾望！
這次比較不同的是，我們以往都是開車在台南逛逛
但是，停車位真的是一種絕望的存在
這次我們改用機車在台南市區活動，怎麼說呢：非常優秀阿～
完全推薦大家是用這樣的移動方式：）
-
我們使用的是 I-rent，一天的租金是 $300
跟租機車的費用差不多的樣子
麻飯的就是充電站好像蠻少的
再來就是電動車的最高速限大概就是 30~40 左右
不過在市區這樣的速度也是很不錯了
我覺得整體來說很推薦呢：）
PS，認真沒有業配

Lyrics : Satu Jam Saja

Lama tak berjumpa dengan kamu 
Kini ku kembali
Marilah mendekat
Dekat kepadaku

Aku sungguh rindu
Kangen kamu
Ingin memelukmu
Waktu milik kita 
Jangan sia siakan

Kau punya satu jam
Satu jam saja
Bersama diriku
Tak perlu sendiri

Kan ku buat satu jam
Satu jam ini
Menjadi satu jam 
yang paling berarti

Outro
Oh hanya satu jam
Tuk bertemu
Aku tetap rindu
Mungkin memang kamu
Yang indahkan waktuku..
