THE LORD WILL VISIT THE EARTH IN THE LAST DAY


2 Esdras 8:63


2 Esdras 8:63: “Behold, O Lord, now hast thou shewed me" [Esdras] "the multitude of the wonders," [Shown from 2 Esdras chapters 1 to 8] "which thou wilt begin to do in the last times: but at what time, thou hast not shewed me.”


2 Esdras 9:1-8


2 Esdras 9:1: "He answered me then, and said, Measure thou the time diligently in itself: and when thou seest part of the signs past, which I have told thee before,"


2 Esdras 9:2: "Then shalt thou understand, that it is the very same time, wherein the Highest will begin to visit the world which he made."


2 Esdras 9:3: "Therefore when there shall be seen earthquakes and uproars of the people in the world:"


2 Esdras 9:4: "Then shalt thou well understand, that the most High spake of those things from the days that were before thee, even from the beginning."


2 Esdras 9:5: "For like as all that is made in the world hath a beginning and an end, and the end is manifest:"


2 Esdras 9:6: "Even so the times also of the Highest have plain beginnings in wonder and powerful works, and endings in effects and signs."



2 Esdras 9:7: "And every one that shall be saved, and shall be able to escape by his works, and by faith, whereby ye have believed," See examples of (works and faith) 1 Corinthians 15:58, Hebrews 6:10-12, 1 Thessalonians 1:2-10 and (those that believed) John 5:35-39, Hebrews 11:6, John 12:44, John 6:66-69 and Acts 4:8-12.


2 Esdras 9:8: "Shall be preserved from the said perils, and shall see my salvation in my land, and within my borders: for I have sanctified them for me from the beginning." See Ephesians 1:3-6 and Revelation 7:9-10, 14-17.





THE SIGNS OF CHRIST'S RETURN


The following reports (Daniel 12, Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21) details the signs/prophesies that will occur before Christ’s return. The aforementioned signs/prophesies coincide with the prophecies found in the book of Revelation (The Seven Seals). See below graph.



Vials and Trumpets





Daniel 12:1-13

The Great Tribulation


Daniel 12:1: “And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people:" [See Revelation 12:7-9] "and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.”


Daniel 12:2: “And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth" [The dead] "shall awake,” [See below message to reader] “some to everlasting life,” [See John 5:28-29 and Revelation 21:4] “and some to shame and everlasting contempt.” See John 5:29, Revelation 14:9-11, Revelation 20:15 and Revelation 21:8.



Message to reader: Resurrection of The Just and Unjust

Paul states in Acts 24:15: “…there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.”

Christ explains the Father’s will concerning raising up his followers in the last day, see John 6:39-40, 44. Not only will his believers be raised up, those who rejected him, will also be raised up and judged, see John 12:44-48. In Matthew chapter 24, Christ explains the prophecies that will take place in the earth before his return. The generation that was on the earth during his ministry, the believers and non-believers, will be alive on the earth before his return, see Matthew 24:34, Revelation 10:10-11 and Revelation 1:7.

2 Esdras 7:28-31 further explains the prophecy of the resurrection of the just and unjust. When Esdras was in the Babylonian captivity, the angel told him that Jesus and his disciples would be alive on the earth within four hundred years.

2 Esdras 7:28: “For my son Jesus shall be revealed with those that be with him,” [See Matthew 10:1-5] “and they that remain shall rejoice within four hundred years.” See John 20:1-2, 6-9, 19-20, Acts 2:14, 38-39, 46-47 and 1 John 2:18-19, 24-25.



Christ states in John 9:4: “I must work the works of him” [God] “that sent me, while it is day:” [The time period of Christ and the ministry of the disciples, see John 1:4-14, John 9:5 and 2 Timothy 4:1-2, 6-8] “the night cometh, when no man can work.” See Isaiah 60:2, and verses 29-30 below.



2 Esdras 7:29: “After these years" [The time period of Christ and the ministry of the disciples, see Isaiah 49:5-10 and 2 Corinthians 6:1-2] "shall my son Christ die, and all men that have life.”



This is the time period of night, John 9:4: “…the night cometh, when no man can work.”



2 Esdras 7:29: “After these years" [The time period of Christ and the ministry of the disciples, see Isaiah 49:5-10 and 2 Corinthians 6:1-2] "shall my son Christ die, and all men that have life.” The time period of night, John 9:4: “…the night cometh, when no man can work.”

2 Esdras 7:30: “And the world shall be turned into the old silence seven days," [The true gospel of Christ, which was hid, and kept secret, see Romans 16:24-27 and 1 Corinthians 2:4-8. Will NOT be taught during the time period of “the (night) old silence.”] "like as in the former judgments:" [The time period before Christ and the disciples] "so that no man shall remain.” No true teachers of the gospel!

2 Esdras 7:31: “And after seven days the world, that yet awaketh not," [The end of the seven days of silence, the night spoken of by Christ in John 9:4: “…the night cometh, when no man can work.”] "shall be raised up,...”



[Christ will raise up his followers in the last day, see Malachi 4:5-6, Matthew 17:11 and John 6:39-40.] 



2 Esdras 7:31: continues “...and that shall die that is corrupt.” See Malachi 4:1-3.



Daniel 12:3: “And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.” See Romans 10:15, Isaiah 52:6-8, 2 Esdras 2:42-47 and Revelation 20:4.


Daniel 12:4: “But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.”



Message to reader: Many Shall Run To and Fro/From

In the last day, the true teachings of the gospel of Christ will be taught and revealed to the world. The aforementioned teachings, will cause a great division:


The people of God will run to him/obey the gospel of Christ, and the unbelievers will run from/fro (will not follow the gospel), see Matthew 10:16-28, 32-39.



THE THREE ANGELS


Daniel 12:5: “Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two,” [More angels, totaling three] “the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river.”


Daniel 12:6: “And one said to the man” [Angel] “clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?” See Daniel 12:1-4.


Daniel 12:7: “And I heard the man” [Angel] “clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time [1], times [2], and an half [½]..." Or 3 ½ years.



Message to reader: Time, Times and an Half (3 ½ Years)

Throughout the Bible, the references; time, times and an half (3 ½ years), a thousand two hundred and ninety days (3 ½ years), forty and two months (3 ½ years), and a thousand two hundred and threescore days (3 ½ years), are used to refer to a three and a half year time period, wherein the righteous (the people of God) are persecuted and killed, immediately after it, the elect will be delivered.



Daniel 12:7: “...and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.”


THE ANGEL ANSWER DANIEL


Daniel 12:8: “And I heard, but I understood not:" [The angel’s answer in verse 7] "then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?”


Daniel 12:9: “And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.” See 2 Esdras 7:31.


Daniel 12:10: “Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried;” [See Revelation 6:9, 11] “but the wicked shall do wickedly:" [See Matthew 10:21-22 and Matthew 24:9-10] "and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.” See Isaiah 52:6-10.


Daniel 12:11: “And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.”



THE KINGDOM OF CHRIST


Daniel 12:12: Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.” Christ's kingdom.


Daniel 12:13: “But go thou thy way till the end be:” [See verse 1] “for thou shalt rest," [Sleep in the dust of the earth] "and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.” See verses 2-3.






Matthew 24:1-51


Message to reader: Matthew, Mark and Luke

In Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21 Christ explains to Peter, James, John and Andrew (See Mark 13:3), the signs/prophesies that will occur in the earth before his return. The aforementioned signs/prophesies coincide with the prophecies found in the book of Revelation. Matthew and Mark's writings focus on the time period of the end. However, Luke’s writings include the time periods of the disciple’s ministry and the end time.

Please note: This report (Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21) will concentrate on the prophecies concerning Christ’s return, these prophecies are also written in the book of Revelation.



Matthew 24:1: “And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple:” [The temple located in Jerusalem that was destroyed by the Romans in 70 A.D.] “and his” [Jesus'] “disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.”


Matthew 24:2: “And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things?” [Everything pertaining to the temple, including the surrounding buildings] “verily I say unto you,” [The disciples] “There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.” See Isaiah 13:9-10, 13 and Revelation 6:12-17.


Matthew 24:3: “And as he” [Jesus] “sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately," [See Mark 13:3] "saying, Tell us, when shall these things be?" [See verse 36 and Acts 1:6-7] "and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?”
