Letters to the Church

The New Testament predicts several key events that will occur before the arrival of the Son of Man in glory . The New Testament predicts several events that will occur before Jesus returns. They will be the culmination of the period between Christ’s Ascension and his arrival, a period characterized by many deceptions, occasional persecution, and apostasy. Before this age ends, an especially destructive deceiver will appear in the Church, the final apostasy will take place, and Satan will launch his final attempt to destroy the Body of Christ.

Paul ne fournit pas d'informations détaillées sur les temps et les saisons puisque le Seigneur arrivera comme un voleur dans la nuit – 1 Thessaloniciens 5: 1-3. Paul continue à discuter de “ l'arrivée ” ou ‘ Parousia ’ de Jésus-Christ au chapitre 5 de Premiers Thessaloniciens , où il aborde la question de son calendrier et de la façon dont cela affectera les préparés et les non préparés. Plutôt que des signes et des horaires, l'Apôtre rappelle à ses lecteurs que “ le Jour du Seigneur ” viendra comme un “ voleur dans la nuit .”

'Jesus’ means “Yahweh saves.” In the man of Nazareth, the salvation promised by the God of Abraham has arrived . The child carried by Mary was “ begotten of the Holy Spirit ,” and Joseph was instructed to name this child ‘Jesus’: “ Call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins .” The name announced by the angel pointed to the saving act of God that was about to unfold in history – (Matthew 1:20-23).

‘Jésus’ signifie “Yahvé sauve.” Dans l'homme de Nazareth, le salut promis par le Dieu d'Abraham est arrivé . L'enfant porté par Marie était “ engendré du Saint-Esprit ”, et Joseph reçut l'instruction de nommer cet enfant ‘Jésus’: “ Appelez son nom Jésus, car il sauvera son peuple de ses péchés .” Le nom annoncé par l'ange indiquait l'acte salvateur de Dieu qui était sur le point de se dérouler dans l'histoire – (Matthieu 1:20-23).

The Good News of Jesus and his victory over death offers hope, life, and salvation and life to men and women of every nation . Jesus sent his disciples to announce his Lordship and Salvation “ to the ends of the Earth .” The promise of the Abrahamic Covenant to bless all nations through the Patriarch’s “ seed ” has come to fruition through the Nazarene. The covenant promises were never limited to the nation of Israel or the small territory of Palestine.
