There are two separate events when referring to the second coming of Jesus Christ… the Church and Israel!
More than 300 prophecies about Christ’s First Coming were specifically fulfilled. As we explore His Second Coming, cross referencing and looking at every detail, we begin to realize that for every one of the First Coming prophecies, there are eight prophecies (over 2,500) laying out specific details regarding the Second Coming of Christ.
Unless you understand that there are two different groups being dealt with, you will make some invalid assumptions. Contrary to some teachings, FATHER has not changed HIS Mind concerning HIS Covenant with Israel.
Moses recorded by THE SPIRIT in Genesis chapter 15:
1 After these things the Word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward.”
2 But Abram said, “Lord GOD, what will You give me, seeing I go childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?”
3 Then Abram said, “Look, You have given me no offspring; indeed one born in my house is my heir!”
4 And behold, the Word of the LORD came to him, saying, “This one shall not be your heir, but one who will come from your own body shall be your heir.”
5 Then He brought him outside and said, “Look now toward Heaven, and count the stars if you are able to number them.” And He said to him, “So shall your descendants be.”
6 And he believed in the LORD, and He accounted it to him for righteousness.
12 Now when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and behold, horror and great darkness fell upon him.
13 Then He said to Abram: “Know certainly that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, and will serve them, and they will afflict them four hundred years.
14 And also the nation whom they serve I will judge; afterward they shall come out with great possessions.
15 Now as for you, you shall go to your fathers in peace; you shall be buried at a good old age.
16 But in the fourth generation they shall return here, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete.”
17 And it came to pass, when the sun went down and it was dark, that behold, there appeared a smoking oven and a burning torch that passed between those pieces.
18 On the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying: “To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates
There are two specific points concerning Israel’s future. FATHER put Abram to sleep before the Covenant. FATHER completed the Covenant without Abram’s interaction which made the Covenant irrevocable, unconditional. Certain Bible teachers have attempted to totally disqualify this Covenant by reassigning it to the Church. Are they making GOD a liar?
Without the understanding that FATHER is dealing with two separate groups, some people assume that the church will go through the Great Tribulation. The rapture and the second coming of Christ are two separate events. The first is to come for the true church, and the second coming is with His Bride (the true church).
