Why seek ye the Living among the Dead?
The Son of man, The Son of God, all in one, never separated, never to die again. This is the Lord Jesus Christ.
In the troublesome times many are asking, “Will Jesus Return?” This is also in the prophecies of the scripture. We, as Christian, know that Jesus will return, but the multitudes are asking for proof. We have no proof except our faith in God and His word. Is it so hard to believe that Jesus will return? Is it so hard to believe in the unseen? We as believers know in our hearts and in our spirits that Gods word is true. Many say they believe in God, but do not understand nor believe in His word.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ is not just His words but the words of the Father.
“And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?
He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,
Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.
And they remembered his words,”
The Bible speaks of the dead in two ways, the passing of life, and the spiritual dead. Those that die in the flesh include all mankind, for as the Bible states, it is once appointed for a man to be born, a day to die and then the judgment.
The flesh of Jesus was no different, even though He was the Son of God. He allowed men to kill His body to fulfill the prophecies of the Messiah. His body had to die, so that He could return to the Spiritual. Doing this, He was then able, to decent into Hell to deliver the captives.
Let us read and understand about the Lord.
“Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz:
His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.”(Daniel.) (Ref; rev. 1:14-18.)
“And he said unto me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright: for unto thee am I now sent. And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling.
Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words.”
To understand that Jesus is alive and lives forevermore, we must be as Daniel.
Thou didst set thine heart(To fix firmly; to predetermine. To fix the attention; to determine to anything with settled purpose.)
to understand(To know another's meaning.),
and to chasten thyself(To purify from errors or faults.)
before thy God.
We must set out hearts to know the truth. We are humans in a body of flesh, but with our hearts we can do anything. Many take their hearts to do mischief, and dishonor.
If we all can just set our hearts to know, then the truth of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus will all come to light. Many have closed their hearts to the truth, many have closed their eyes to the visible and the unvisitable things of the flesh and the spirit. Biblical prophecy has been, and is coming to pass. These events that we all can see are prophecies in scriptures.
We can not deny the wars, conflicts, disease, famines and other Biblical prophecies. Jesus died for all mankind, and with belief in Him and His resurrection, we can all be saved from the things that are coming upon this earth. These days that we live in are the most dangerous days that mankind has ever seen.
Spiritual to physical, is a thing that is easy for God, and Jesus, to accomplish. It is written in the Old testament, to show us that Jesus can most assuredly be coming back in the body of His Glorious appearance.
“Then there came again and touched me one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me,
And said, O man greatly beloved, fear not: peace be unto thee, be strong, yea, be strong. And when he had spoken unto me, I was strengthened, and said, Let my lord speak; for thou hast strengthened me.”
The Appearance of a Man.
The Lord, Christ, and including Michael(The arc Angel.) have appeared to many. The Hebrew and the King James Bible states, that the testimony of two witnesses make the testimony true. Why, with all these witnesses, can not man believe. How much will it take for men to realize that Jesus was raised from the dead, and He will return to rapture Gods Children?
O man greatly beloved, fear not.
Daniel was told by Christ, to not fear Him, nor the visions that He had received by the inspiration of God. We as believers must not also fear the things that are coming upon this earth. We have that hope indwelled within us, within our hearts, and spirit, that the Lords promises of being with us always, is true.
Many will witness the return of Christ and will fear greatly, many will see the return of Christ with great joy and jubilation. But we will all see Christ.
