Every Eye Shall See Him
******* Continuing our prophecy study-- Please GO back and READ the study from the beginning to gain full understanding of where we are if you haven't been following this study daily. We are on the 60th part of this study today. Thank you :) God bless you! ******
Rev 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
Look! Look!
Behold-- Dictionary Meaning -- for the purpose of calling attention.
Attention! Look! Look at this! Jesus comes with clouds! This is amazing imagery.
The Bible uses imagery. The Bible uses mysteries and words that may mean more than one thing, especially in prophecy. The Bible interprets itself though. It's not some master puzzle without a master key. The key is within the puzzle itself. When we talk of Jesus coming with clouds it is true that perhaps He will be in the clouds, or on the clouds.
Clouds those vaporous puffs and wisps, the angry, full dark gray bodies of pure moisture are all at Jesus' command. So sure, the imagery of Jesus standing upon a cloud using it as a magic carpet of sorts is possible, but so too is this-
Matthew {25:31} '...the Son of man shall come in his glory and all the holy angels with him...'
We know Jesus will return and call His people to Him while He is still in the air with ALL the holy angels, perhaps they're all upon the misty clouds but truly they do not need to rest upon vapors, do they? Clouds and angels, just the image of Jesus returning is amazing! Clouds of angels! Angels so numerous they fill the sky around our Savior! This is a vision we should hold dear, a vision we should long to behold.
This next bit is amazing too-
'and every eye shall see him.' (Rev. 1:7)
The eyes of the people who are awake?
The eyes of people on one location upon the earth?
The eyes of a few?
The eyes of only His chosen people?
No, no, no, and no.
EVERY eye shall see him! EVERY!
Dictionary def- every (èv´rê) adjective- Constituting each and all members of a group without exception.
EVERY eye shall see him! How will this be possible with the whole round earth where daylight shines upon only one part at a time? A mystery for sure and one that I hope and pray I'm alive in Jesus to see!
Get this though- not only every eye of the living shall see Him but read on-
'and they also which pierced him' (Rev. 1:7)
Wait! Does this mean what I think it means? Who pierced Jesus? Who killed Him? Some might argue, and could be right, that we all played our part in His death with our sins. Our sins killed Jesus because He died to save us from our sins, all of us. He wouldn't have died if we'd not sinned. So even if the arguing person chooses that scenario that we ALL killed Him, we all pierced Him that just reinforces the fact that every eye shall see Him doesn't it? It does. It could also be stressing the point that those who are dead- those who actually physically pierced His hands, His feet, His side will be brought to life just to see Him return triumphant!
Read this- 1Th 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first
We know the dead will be raised!
Such mysteries!
'and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.' (Rev. 1:7)
ALL kindreds--
Dictionary Definition- kindred (kîn´drîd) noun
1.A group of related persons, as a clan or tribe.
2.(used with a pl. verb). A person's relatives; kinfolk.
adjective
1. Of the same ancestry or family: kindred clans.
2. Having a similar or related origin, nature, or character: kindred emotions.
All kindreds, all of the earth... shall wail?! Wait, what?! Jesus has returned and everyone is wailing?! How can that be. We know that God's chosen people who are waiting for His return should be happy, they should be rejoicing so how can everyone wail? It doesn't mean EVERYONE on earth does it? But... read this...
John {17:14} 'I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. {17:15} I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. {17:16} They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. {17:17} Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. {17:18} As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.'
'THEY ARE NOT OF THIS WORLD'
1 John {2:15} 'Love not the world, neither the things [that are] in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. {2:16} For all that [is] in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. {2:17} And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.'
Is it possible all kindreds of the earth are those who claim the earth as their own; those who love this world and live for this world and not the world to come? Those who aren't God's are this world's, they are ruled by the lust of the flesh, the eyes, by pride of life. All those who have put their hopes and dreams, their love into this world's existence, counting on the things this world has to offer for their happiness will be sorely disappointed when Jesus returns, won't they? When they realize that it's all true, that Jesus, the Son of God is real and all His promises are real. There will be wailing and I imagine quite a lot of wailing.
Rev 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
1Th 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
1Th 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
1Th 4:18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
We can't forget this because it goes hand in hand with our Lord's return. He WILL descend from heaven. The dead in Christ shall rise first.
Remember how we just read that the eyes of those who pierced Him would witness this amazing event? The dead are rising!
Joh 5:28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
Joh 5:29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
ALL that are in the graves shall hear His voice and…. COME FORTH!
The dead will rise, only they aren't going to be zombies rising from the grave to some shell of a former life. The dead will rise both the good dead and evil dead and they are going to witness Christ's return! We can rack our brains and come up with NO logical way for any of that to happen none whatsoever. We've made fantasy out of what will be a reality- the dead rising. We've made horror out of something that has the potential for beauty beyond comprehension. The dead rising. We cannot logically imagine this ever happen let alone how it would be accomplished and that's a good thing really, because for us to truly comprehend it in a logical manner would be stripping God of His Godhood. Many, many want to do this, many want to strip God of His Godhood by introducing scientific, logical explanations for everything. None could ever explain the logic behind the dead rising- ALL the dead, not just one or two but ALL that are in their graves will hear our Savior's voice and rise in a miraculous, inexplicable way. They will rise - both good and evil- some to life, others to death once more.
The prophecy in Revelation connects to Daniel, and to all the prophecies of Jesus, we cannot separate them. When we read about Christ's second coming, we know without fail everything written will come to pass.
Daniel had visions of the end of the world, the end of all earthly kingdoms and the coming of a heavenly kingdom. The heavenly kingdom would destroy the earthly. Our Savior's coming does this. Every eye shall see Him and we know that the dead in Christ will go with Him and those not in Christ will then be killed by His brightness.
2Th 2:7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
2Th 2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
2Th 2:9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
2Th 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
2Th 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
2Th 2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
Those who do NOT receive the love of the truth will be destroyed, they will NOT be saved!
Those who do NOT love JESUS who is the TRUTH will be destroyed.
2Th 2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming.
The brightness of our Savior's coming will kill those who are not His, yes, even those who have been called from their graves if they are NOT Christ's then they will be destroyed by the brightness of Christ's coming.
Rev 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
This is an amazing prophecy and it is factual, it will come to pass without any doubt whatsoever. By the Lord's mercy and grace may we be His when He returns and may we see Him as He returns for us with gladness in our hearts as we rise up to meet Him in the air!
By the grace and mercy of our Lord and Savior may we be with Him now and forever. In Christ's amazing righteousness!
Amen.
Rev 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
Rev 1:2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.
Rev 1:3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
Rev 1:4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;
Rev 1:5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
Rev 1:6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
Rev 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
