Circular Letter April 2015

“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.” (Heb 13:8)

 

Heartfelt greetings to all Brothers and Sisters around the globe in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ with the Scripture in Heb 9:28:

“So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.”

The second coming of Christ is His promised Return (Jn 14:1-3).

He comes back for all of the redeemed who are waiting for Him. He comes back for all the redeemed who are ready: “… they that were ready went in with him to the marriage …” (Mat 25:10). He comes back for all the redeemed who love His appearing. And all who love His appearing will receive the promised crown of righteousness (2 Tim 4:8).

The Return of Christ is close at hand. It is important that these three attributes are truly found in each one of us: waiting for Him, being ready, and loving His appearing. We are living in the time of the calling-out according to 2 Cor 6:14-18: “Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord …” The entire end-time prophecy is being fulfilled before our eyes. It is the period of time of which our Lord said, “… when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.” (Lk 21:28-36). By His grace, we have the biblical guidance through the Word of prophecy and can clearly see the signs of the time in all realms. The cry, the wake-up call is growing ever louder and is now going forth worldwide so that all of the Bible believers wake up from the spiritual sleep: “Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.” (Mat 25:1-10).

This is the message that is now forerunning the second coming of Christ. The believers are the virgins who trim their lamps. The wise virgins are not only concerned about the lamps, namely having the light, the enlightenment; they consider the complete preparation by faith and obedience and the filling with the oil of the Spirit to be the most important matter. A songwriter expressed it like this: “Just vessels, Holy Master, but filled with your power …” Now the Spirit-led union of the earthly Bride with the heavenly Bridegroom is taking place in perfect love and agreement with every Word of God.
