When Jesus Returns Is Called The Millumin

Speaking from Matthew Chapter 24, David Pawson describes the four signs of the end of the age and how Jesus calls us to live now, ready and aware of the truthI believe this verse is telling us that Jesus will literally rule this earth from the city of Jerusalem not heaven Thus says the Lord: вЂI will return to Zion, and dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. ThatвЂ™s what I always thought, too.In a time of cynicism, pessimism and despair, we are called to be a community of hope. Just as it is written: вЂњNeither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be savedвЂќ (Acts 4:12), and вЂњJesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for everвЂќ (Hebrews 13:8). This is why, just before His final ascension into heaven, they asked Him, Lord, will You restore the kingdom to Israel at this timeOver the last two millennia, Christians have been praying, preaching, curing sicknesses, and driving out demons all in the name of the Lord Jesus with the firm belief that He is our sole Savior, we can only be saved through JesusвЂ™ name, and that the name of the Lord Jesus will remain forever unchanged. In fact, Jesus had already informed them that no one would know the day or hour of His coming (Matt. Yet, JesusвЂ™ followers did not know when or how He would return.

What does this really mean?вЂќ Feeling both perplexed and amazed, I read that passage again and thought it over carefully. вЂњCould it be that the Lord Jesus really will take on a new name when He returns in the last days? That canвЂ™t be, can it? But itвЂ™s very clearly stated in the Scripture that God will have a new name and that anyone who has an ear will know, will be able to hear what the Spirit says to the churches. I was suddenly drawn in by the two words вЂњnew nameвЂќ and I turned it over and over in my mind. He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churchesвЂќ (Revelation 3:12вЂ“13). Those who survive this judgment will remain on earth and enjoy a time of peace and prosperity with Christ for 1,000 years (referred to as the millennium see Revelation 20:46 ).But a few days ago, while doing my devotionals I saw this in the Book of Revelation: вЂњ Him that overcomes will I make a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write on him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, which is new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God: and I will write on him My new name.

We had discussed the Bible on many occasions and I always gained clarity on the Scripture we sought and fellowshiped on together. I felt so excited, because Brother Wang has always had a very pure understanding, and heвЂ™s a thoughtful, insightful person. In the midst of my confusion, I learned that my old friend, Wang Zhong, had just come back from a missionary trip. I sought out the pastors and elders to consult with them and looked into a number of relevant gospel books, but I still couldnвЂ™t find an answer. I thought to myself, вЂњAccording to this, when the Lord Jesus returns in the last days He really will adopt a new name! But in the Book of Hebrews it is written that the name of the Lord Jesus is immutable, so how could this prophecy in the Book of Revelation say that it is going to change? WhatвЂ™s going on with this?вЂќ I simply couldnвЂ™t make heads or tails of it.

Hearing me say this, Brother Wang said with a smile, вЂњThanks be to the Lord! Brother Han, you being able to see from Revelation that the Lord will have a new name when He returns really is the enlightenment and guidance of the Holy Spirit! The question of why He is to take on a new name is directly linked to whether or not weвЂ™ll be able to welcome His return. After some time in fellowship, I spoke out on the confusion within my heart. His choice of humans to combat spirit beings is, to put it When we met, Brother Wang joyfully shared with me what he had gained from this most recent preaching excursion of his. There is, however, a tiny flaw in the devils plan to defeat Jesus when he returns. His consuming desire is to continue to bask in the glory of Gods greatest creation worshipping him.

Brother Han, you just mentioned Revelation 3:12: вЂ Him that overcomes will I make a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write on him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, which is new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God: and I will write on him My new name.вЂ™ ThereвЂ™s also Isaiah 62:2: вЂ And the Gentiles shall see your righteousness, and all kings your glory: and You shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of Jehovah shall name.вЂ™ We can be sure from these prophecies that when the Lord Jesus returns He will certainly take on a new name HeвЂ™ll no longer be called Jesus. But in fact, we only think that because we donвЂ™t understand the aspect of the truth regarding GodвЂ™s name. IвЂ™ve really never thought about it.вЂќ He then said, вЂњThe entire religious community has persisted in believing that GodвЂ™s name is Jesus, only those who believe in that name can be saved, and that GodвЂ™s name can never change. I furrowed my brows and thought, вЂњGodвЂ™s name really has changed. Brother Wang asked me, вЂњBrother Han, what was GodвЂ™s name in the Old Testament?вЂќ I replied without hesitation, вЂњJehovah!вЂќ He then asked, вЂњAnd what was GodвЂ™s name in the New Testament?вЂќ I said, вЂњJesus!вЂќ Brother Wang went on to ask me, вЂњThen do you think that GodвЂ™s name has changed?вЂќ For a moment, I didnвЂ™t know what to say. NowвЂ™s the perfect time for us to talk about it, too.вЂќ I was so happy to hear him say thisвЂ”I nodded over and over.

If you believe that God can only be called by the name of Jesus, then you know too littleвЂќ (вЂњHow Can Man Who Has Defined God in His Conceptions Receive the Revelations of God?вЂќ). Regardless of the changes to His work and His name, His disposition and wisdom remain forever unchanged. Cannot then the work of Jesus be succeeded by another work? If the name of Jehovah can be changed to Jesus, then cannot the name of Jesus also be changed? This is not unusual, and people think so only due to their simple-mindedness. This is what I read out: вЂњ Some say that the name of God does not change, so why then did the name of Jehovah become Jesus? It was prophesied of the coming of the Messiah, so why then did a man by the name of Jesus come? Why did the name of God change? Was not such work carried out long ago? Cannot God this day do a new work? The work of yesterday can be altered, and the work of Jesus can follow on from that of Jehovah. LetвЂ™s take a look at it.вЂќ Curious, I nodded in agreement and said, вЂњGreat!вЂќ1.) Where will all of the folks still alive going into the Millenium going to be while Jesus reforms the new earth 2.) There will still be sin during the Millenium since there will still be people in fleshly bodies, so the earth will still be affected by the sin curse during the Millenium.Brother Wang got the book out and found some passages for me to read. That elderly preacher gave me a book, and thereвЂ™s a really clear explanation of the truth regarding GodвЂ™s names in it.

It was only because He wanted to do the work of saving mankind that He gave Himself a name that could represent His work of that particular age, but GodвЂ™s name changes along with the work that HeвЂ™s doing. Originally, God was nameless. It turned out that GodвЂ™s name can change, but I still wasnвЂ™t very clear on the mysteries here, so I hurriedly asked Brother Wang to explain this to me.Brother Wang fellowshiped: вЂњThis really clearly explains the meaning behind God adopting a name and Him taking on new names. I was amazed after reading all of this. Regardless of whether it is the age of Jehovah, or the age of Jesus, each age is represented by a nameвЂќ (вЂњThe Vision of GodвЂ™s Work (3)вЂќ). Therefore, God can choose whatever name befits His disposition to represent the entire age.

Those who lived in the Age of Law saw the inviolable disposition of Jehovah God and developed hearts of fear for Him. Otherwise, they would be stoned to death or would be struck down by fire from heaven. All those who respected the law of Jehovah had His blessing and grace with them, while those who violated His law had to make sin offerings. Jehovah God issued the laws and commandments through Moses, guiding newborn mankind through their lives on earth, requiring that people strictly adhere to those laws and commandments. Like in the Age of Law, God was called Jehovah, representing GodвЂ™s disposition of majesty, wrath, damnation, and mercy. Plus, the name God takes on in each age only represents the work He is going to do and the disposition He is going to express in that age.

He expressed a disposition of love and compassion, providing people with a way of repentance and teaching them tolerance and patience, and to love their enemies. The Lord Jesus began the Age of Grace and concluded the Age of Law. This is why, to fulfill mankindвЂ™s needs, God Himself incarnated with the name of Jesus and carried out the work of redemption. There were no longer enough sin offerings to make up for their sins and everyone was facing the danger of being put to death for violating the law. But later in the Age of Law, people became more and more corrupt and their sins were increasing.
