rise up and deceive many.

deceive, if possible, even theelect. Matt 24:23-24

Sing, O daughter of Zion!Shout, O Israel!Be glad and rejoice with

all your heart,O daughter of Jerusalem!

You shall see disaster no more.

Israel Gathered and Judged

And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet,and they will gather together His elect from the four winds,from one end of heaven to the other.

Matthew 24:31

So Jesus said to [the disciples], “Assuredly I say to you, thatin the regeneration, when the Son of Man sits on the throneof His glory, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelvethrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”

The Judgment of the Gentiles

When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels withHim, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. All the Gentiles willbe gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another,as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. And He will set thesheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. Matt 25:31-33

In my Father’s house are many mansions;if it were not so, I would have told you.I go to prepare a place for you.John 14:2

And if I go to prepare a place for you,I will come again and receive you to myself,that where I am, there you may be also.John 14:3

And if I go to prepare a place for you,I will come again and receive you to myself,that where I am, there you may be also.John 14:3

Does He do thiswhen the Christiandies?

Does He do thiswhen He returnsin glory?

He will do this

sometime beforeHis return in glory.

What Difference Does This Make?

Jesus Christ wants us to be

with Him for eternity.

He will come for us.

We are responsible to obeyHis commands to be ready

for His return.

The current erahas a definite end.

A part of the gospel is thesecond coming of Christ.

God will fulfill His promises to

Israel.

The Day of the Lord starts

with the tribulation period.

The elect of Israel will be

gathered at the end of the

tribulation.

The Gentiles will be judged

according to how theytreated Christ’s messengers,

revealing their faith.
