Preparing Hearts and Minds for the Coming of the Messiah

A Point to Ponder

…and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, says the Lord of Hosts.” Hagai 2:7

Jesus shall be the desire of all nations, but first He must be our greatest desire. We must pant after His pressence and person like the dear after water; we must hunger and thirst after Him and His righteousness with great hunger and thirst that only He can satisfy; we just diligently seek His face with all longing greater than those that wait for the morning.

I wait for the LORD, my soul does wait, and in his word do I hope. My soul waits for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning. Psalms 130:5-6

Israel: The Adoption, the Glory and the Preparation – Audio

Happy 4th in Jesus Name!

In my blog post entitled: Israel Part I: A Word about Prophecy , I gave an introduction about a message I taught to a Messianic home group in Jerusalem. My intention is to greatly expand on that message in the above named blog post and following installments.

However, I was recently blessed by my missionary friend with the audio he recorded (unbeknownst to me)  of the Bible study I gave there and I thought I would make it available to you if you would like to listen.  I have also attached the outline I gave everyone and I recommend that you have it open or printed out as your follow along. I cover a lot of material in just one hour and you will find it helpful I think.

The recording (below) starts about five minutes into the study just before the second bullet point in the outline. You will hear someone translating in the background, but I do not think it detracts too much from the audio.

I pray you are blessed and challenged to think more about the Coming of the Lord and what that may mean in a practical sense to believers and the Jewish people in the Holy Land.

May you be blessed in the mighty name of Yeshua!

Marc

Israel Part I: A Word about Prophecy

I was blessed recently with two weeks exploring the land of Israel with a few good friends who live there and a few good friends from America. We traveled from Jerusalem to the Sea of Galilee (pictured) and parts north. We also made it all the way down to Eilat and the Gulf of Aqaba and over to Petra and Wadi Rum in Jordon.

A few weeks before traveling to the Holy Land, I was asked if I would like to teach one evening at a Messianic Fellowship in Jerusalem that my friends attended. I agreed. The requested topic was Jerusalem in prophecy in the last days with an aim of encouraging the brethren there.

Finding scripture about Israel and Jerusalem in end times prophecy is not difficult to do. However, finding encouragement in the context of the last days proves a bit more difficult. In addition, I was asked to keep the length of the teaching to fifty minutes or less, which I initially thought was nigh on impossible!

Loving His Appearing

First Post – Love His Appearing
Greetings in Jesus name and welcome to Love His Appearing! This is my first blog post and a brief introduction to this site.

Towards the end of his life, the Apostle Paul wrote:

“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. ” (2 Timothy 4:5)

And to Titus he wrote that we should be:

Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; (Titus 2:13)

For many followers of Jesus the Messiah these verses automatically take their hearts and minds to the Rapture of the Church, but is that the main event the Scripture is referencing or something much larger? What does it mean to love His appearing? How should this inform our lives today?
