Feast of Trumpets
October 3, 2024
WPG
In (Genesis 1:27) we read that our Creator created us (man that is) in His very own image.
Why? Because He wants to dwell with us.
And He has a plan (pictured by His Holy Days) that involves all of mankind, everyone that was ever born.
(And there are many.)
According to “Institute National” (I ned) they estimate that the number of people to be born since Adam, to be around 80 billion, and almost (8 billion) still alive.
This calculates to around 72 billion people who have died since Adam.
(And thanks to the Bible, the Word of God, we know exactly where they are.)
Funny thing about heaven and hell, my first experience with death was when my Grandfather died. I was only around 5 years old, and he was my favorite person.
Every time we visited him, he would give me a quarter (and coins back then were all silver) a quarter could buy you five candy bars, or even five sodas.
When my Grandpa died, I wanted to know where he was, so I was all ears at the gravesite when the Priest (We were Catholic’s) gave his burial message.
First he told us that my Grandpa was up in Heaven with God. (That sounded pretty good.)
But a few minutes later he told us my Grandpa was in the ground now, six feet down, asleep, and awaiting the resurrection.
So I walked away quite puzzled.
Many people in the world today are also quite puzzled about many things, having no clue of the plan of the Creator, but instead having many beliefs that are totally false, and not part of His plan at all.
But He calls many into His church; and gives us opportunity to learn His ways, His Truth. He tells us to study, to rightly divide the Word of Truth, and to grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior.
That takes time, with much studying and searching the Scriptures.
(Isaiah 28:10) says: “For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little”.
Today, on this Holy Day of Trumpets, I want to look at some clear Scriptures that give us a better picture of His overall plan for mankind.
Like a jigsaw puzzle, the more pieces that are put into their “proper” place, the clearer the picture becomes.
We have to search the Scriptures for Truth, and we have to believe Truth.
We have to believe what the Word of God says.
Like where are the 72 billion who have lived and died since Adam? Are they up in Heaven with our Creator? Or are they still in the grave asleep awaiting the resurrection?
No need for confusion, no need for fables. (John 3:13) Is one of the many places that tell us quite clearly that (and this is red letter, spoken by our Lord Himself) : “no man has ascended up to heaven, but He that came down from heaven, even the son of man which is in heaven.”
Scripture clearly tells us that the dead are still in the grave, all 72 billion of them, awaiting the resurrection.
(Psalm 115:17) says: “The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence.”
(Ecclesiastes 9:5) says: “For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing.”
And how about King David? We know he will eventually rule with our Lord at His return.
But where is he now? Is he up in heaven? (Acts 2:29-31) “Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.
David (like the rest who have died) is in the grave awaiting the resurrection.
Today we’re going to look at some Scriptures that speak of the resurrections, Scriptures that clearly show us how and when the dead will be rising from their graves.
But, before we move on, let’s address an important matter that we always have to be mindful of when it comes to our beliefs.
We always have to be careful of men and their teachings, because men continue to lead many astray, both within and without the church.
As our Lord said: “Take heed that no man deceive you, for many (not a few but many men) shall come and deceive many.
Even concerning the Holy days, many teach, and many believe that they have been done away with, that they are Jewish Feasts, and no longer need to be kept.
Let’s notice the truth concerning the Holy Days in (Leviticus 23:1-2).
(All the Holy days are listed here.)
(Leviticus 23:1-2) “And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are My feasts.”
These Holy days are the “Creators” Holy days, not “Jewish” Holy days, and they are not done away with, they are to be kept. And they have much to teach us about the plan that our Creator has for not only His church, but for all of mankind.
Now I’m sure most here know that the Holy days are to be kept.
But as we move on in this message, let’s move forward with the proper “faith” and not just any “faith” but with the correct “Faith”.
Let’s move forward today with the “Faith” that was once delivered to the Saints”. The “Faith’ that Jude (half brother to our Lord) strongly urges us to get back to.
(Jude 1:3) “Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.”
Now many pulpits teach that we have already gotten back to that “faith” that was once delivered to the saints, and need only to hold on to it.
(But nothing could be further from the truth.)
Hopefully in today’s message, we’re going to understand what that original faith was, how it differs from the faith held by most in the church today, and most importantly how, yes how to get back to it.
We need to get back to the “Faith” held by the church back when our Lord was confirming the Word, with those “sign following” He was confirming what was being taught, with those miracles of casting out devils, healing the sick, etc.
(Mark 16:17-18) says: “And these signs shall follow them that believe. In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.”
And look what it says in (Mark 16:20) “And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following.”
Brethren, those miracles, the “signs following” have been absent in the church in recent years. Why? Because there is a Belief problem in the church today. And it concerns our “Faith”.
We need to get back to that faith that was once delivered, because faith is what produces our beliefs.
Let’s understand something concerning faith and belief — “faith” and “belief” goes hand-in-hand. But Faith Comes “Before” Belief.
Yes faith comes before belief.
It’s quite simple to understand this. The word “faith” is Strong’s # 4102 meaning = persuasion. One has to be “persuaded” to believe what one believes.
The problem in the church today, is that too many have gotten their “persuasion” (which in turn develops their beliefs) from the teachings of “men”, instead of from the Scriptures.
Let’s ask a question here, why did the church “lose” that original “faith” in the first place?
Jude gives us the answer in the very next verse:
(Jude 1:4) “For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.”
It’s okay to listen to the words of men, it’s actually a good thing, even the noble Bereans were anxious to hear what Paul had to say.
(Acts 17:11) says: “They received the word with all readiness of mind (alacrity -brisk and cheerful readiness. Then they searched the Scriptures to see if the man’s words were Scriptural Truth, or more Fables?
Most pulpits in the cog discourage, and often forbid their members to hear the words of someone who has a different teaching than what is normally taught.
They label him a “heretic”. As if “heresy” is something bad.
Heresy is only a doctrine or belief that is “contrary” to what is normally taught or believed.
Paul was a preacher of heresy, and he was proud of it. (Acts 24:14) “But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:”
Its “damnable” heresy we have to be on guard against. And according to Peter, many have been exposed to it.
Peter wrote a warning to the church almost two thousand years ago, he wrote it in the “future” tense. Well the future has arrived, so to drive Peter’s warning home, let’s read his warning in the proper “present” tense.
(2 Peter 2:1-2) “But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be (are) false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in (have brought in) damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
And many shall follow (are following) their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be (is) evil spoken of.”
Brethren, all I’m trying to say here is that we need to verify that our beliefs are according to the Scriptures, and not the ideas of men.
So as we move on, let’s get our “Persuasion” let’s verify our “Beliefs” from the Word of God. And let’s “Believe” what His Word (The Scriptures) say.
(2 Timothy 3:16) tells us that: “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. so that the man of God may be complete and thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
That word “reproof” means “evidence”. Truth, (correct doctrine) is verified by Scriptural evidence.
We should have Scriptural evidence for everything we believe. All of our beliefs should be backed up by Scripture.
And Truth (the correct pieces to the puzzle) always fit right into place. But Fables (fiction, non Scriptural doctrine) will never fit, no matter how hard you try to force it.
According to Peter, many today in the “church” have some of the puzzle pieces in the wrong place, and are following fables, which not only produce a fake picture, but those who believe in those fables, will accursedly end up in the ditch.
(Matthew 15:14) says when the blind lead the blind, both fall into the ditch.)
And look what Paul told Timothy about “fables” being taught and believed at the end time (the time in which we are now living):
(2 Timothy 4:2) “Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
For the time will come (for that time has come) when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.”
We need Truth Brethren; we need to be studying: “rightly dividing the Word of Truth.” (2 Timothy 2:15).
Now getting back to the plan that our Creator has for all of mankind, to better understand Truth, and to better understand Spiritual things, our Creator always gives us the “physical” (which we humans understand quite well) so that we can better understand the “Spiritual” (which we humans do not understand quite so well.)
The Feast days are planned around the agricultural seasons, or maybe better put; the yearly agricultural harvests are symbolic of God’s spiritual harvest of mankind.
There are a lot of things we know about the feast days and the agricultural seasons that complement each other.
Just like the “physical” spring crop is planted first, grows first, and is harvested first, so is the ‘Spiritual” spring crop. (The Creator’s Firstfruits) are planted first; grow first, and are harvested first, before the larger fall crop.
The “spring” Feast Days pertain to the church, the Firstfruits. Passover represents when our Lord was crucified, and died for us on the stake, so that we “might” live.
(1 John 4:9)
The Feast of Unleavened Bread pictures the church, the firstfruits coming out of sin, with a totally changed nature. (Changed from our old sinful nature to putting on the Holy Righteous Character of the Father.)
And the last spring Holy day “Pentecost” pictures the church, the firstfruits being resurrected, and meeting our Lord in the air, where the Marriage of the Lamb will take place.
(First Fruits come first.)
His Firstfruits, His church, has to be harvested first, because their job, their purpose, their calling, is to be teachers — a Kingdom of Priests who will teach the masses once they are resurrected.
(Like it says in (Revelation 5:10) “And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.”
(The job of the priest is to teach.)
But what most don’t realize today, is that we are approaching the time when the work of teaching will soon be in full motion?
Brethren, (concerning the resurrections of the dead) the Scriptures clearly tell us that the masses will be resurrected back to physical life a lot sooner than most realize.
The Scriptures we are going to look at now are Scriptures that the pulpits ignore, concerning the resurrections, and the plan of God.
According to the teachings of man, the masses will not be resurrected until after the one thousand year reign of Christ and His saints. But that teaching is another fable.
And there is no shortage of Scriptural evidence that clearly show that the masses will be resurrected before our Lord puts His foot down on the Mount of Olives, as He returns to this earth.
They base their belief (that the masses won’t be resurrected until after the thousand years) on only one Scripture, and they completely ignore the multitude of clear Scriptures that say otherwise.
Scripture clearly shows that the masses will be back soon.
(Do you miss your loved ones who are asleep?) (Would you like to meet your Great – Great Grandparents, if you never knew them?) According to Scripture, we soon will.
On the night in which our Lord was betrayed, He was brought before Caiaphas (the High Priest at that time) Caiaphas was the one that prophesied that “it was expedient for one man to die for the people.”
When Caiaphas asked our Lord if he was the Christ, the son of God, our
Lord answered and said: (Matthew 26:64) “Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.”
Now how will Caiaphas see our Lord coming in the clouds, if he is still in his grave? Brethren we need to believe the Scriptures, not the fables of men.
Scripture says quite clearly that when our Lord returns to this earth, not only Caiaphas will see our Lord coming in the clouds, but “Every Eye Shall See Him, even they which pierced Him.”
(Revelation 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.”
How will “every eye” see Him coming in the clouds, if they’re still asleep in their graves?
Have you ever wondered or marveled about that?
Brethren, marvel not. According to Scripture, the masses are going to be back on this earth, and soon.
(John 5:28-29) says: (and this is red letter, spoken by our Lord Himself) “Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear His voice, 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.”
(Notice the “tense” here?) (Past Tense.)
The dead will be judged at our Lord’s return according to their past behavior.
And look what it says in (Revelation 22:12) (our Lord speaking here again) “And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.”
The NIV says it like this: “Behold, I am coming soon, and my reward is with me, to give to each person according to what he has done.”
(Past Tense Again.)
(John 5:26-27) “For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.”
Paul told Timothy that our Lord will judge the living and the dead. When? At His appearing and His Kingdom. Not a thousand years later.
(2 Timothy 4:1) “I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge (execute judgment) to both the quick and the dead (when?) at his appearing and his kingdom.”
The Scripture (the only Scripture) that the pulpits use that has “persuaded” the brethren to believe the fable that the masses will not be resurrected until after the coming Millennium is: (Revelation 20:5) where it says:
(Revelation 20:5) “The rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished, this is the first resurrection.”
They teach “the rest of the dead” here represents the masses being resurrected back to physical life, after the one thousand year reign of our Lord and His saints, but it does not. (And the masses are not part of the “first resurrection.”)
(That verse doesn’t even make sense.)
Many clear Scriptures’ (as we will continue to see) tell us the masses will be resurrected, and back here on earth during the Millennial reign of our Lord and His saints. They are the ones the saints (priests) will be teaching during the millennium.
This one (one and only) verse that they use to base their belief, that the masses will be resurrected after the thousand years is a piece of the puzzle that does not fit where the pulpits have been trying to force it.
And by believing that it does fit, (Let me reiterate here.) To believe that the masses will be resurrected after the Millennium, you have to totally ignore the many clear Scriptures that say otherwise.
Also, if you do some checking, you will see that a number of translations (like the NIV) have brackets around that verse. Why? Why brackets around (Revelation 20:5)? Because it’s a spurious text, it is not in the oldest manuscripts, but was added. That’s why it doesn’t fit with the rest of the Scriptures on the resurrections.
Look how well the preceding and following verses flow without verse five:
(Revelation 20:4, 6) “And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years”.
.
Verse 6:”Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.”
The masses will be judged at our Lord’s return, not a thousand years later. Look what Paul told the Greek’s when he addressed them on “Mars’ hill” concerning the idols they were worshiping.
(Acts 17:29-31) The NIV reads like thus: “Therefore since we are God’s offspring, we should not think that the divine being is like gold, silver, or stone, an image carved by human design and skill.
In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now He commands all people everywhere to repent,
for He has set a day when He is going to judge the world.”
The Gospel message preached to the world (the masses) by John the Baptist, by our Lord, and preached by His church, is to “repent”, and to repent now. Why? Because the Kingdom of God is at hand.
Brethren, that “day” of judging the world, is approaching…. According to Scripture, it is going to begin at our Lord’s return. Not a thousand years later.
Let us not believe the many fables taught by men. We need to look at the “evidence.”
(This might be a little bold to say, but the “idols” of many in the church today, are not statues, but men in pulpits.)
Brethren we have no time for fables. We are the church, “the church of the Living God, The Pillar and ground of the Truth.”(1Timothy 3:15)
If we want to understand God’s plan for mankind, if we want to get back to the “The Faith Once Delivered”, if we want our Lord to be confirming what is believed and taught with those “signs follows” We have to Believe the Truth that is in the Scriptures, not the fables of men.
Scripture after Scripture clearly say that the masses will be judged at His coming, not a thousand years later.
(Matthew 25:31-32) “When the Son of man shall come in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then shall He sit upon the throne of His glory:
And before Him shall be gathered all nations: and He shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:”
The masses will be resurrected at our Lord’s return, and their fate will be decided according to their past behavior, whether they were doers of good, or doers of evil?
We “live” we “die” and then we “awake” and get judged according to our past behavior. Were you a sheep or were you a goat?
(Hebrews 9:27) Says: “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:”
Brethren let’s put things into perspective. The spring Feast Days pertain to the church, the First Fruits. Passover represents when our Lord was crucified, and died for us on the stake.
The Feast of Unleavened Bread pictures the Church, the firstfruite coming out of sin, becoming totally converted, with a totally changed nature. Changed from a sinful nature to putting on (developing) the Father’s Holy Righteous Character.
And the last spring Holy day “Pentecost” pictures the church, the firstfruit”s meeting our Lord in the air, where the Marriage of the Lamb will take place.
.
And then comes the fall Holy Days, starting with “Trumpets”.
The Holy Day of Trumpets pictures the end time when many trumpets will be sounded. The trumpet was used to call assemblies, to call to war, and more.
It encompasses many things as the kingdoms of this world (The Beast power) is destroyed, and the Kingdom of God is established on this earth.
Speaking of the Beast, (Revelation 17:14) says: “These (the Beast) shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.”
The Holy Day of Atonement pictures the time when Satan will be bound up, and cast into the bottomless pit, where he will be unable to influence and deceive the nations any more, as they are resurrected back to physical life.
(Revelation 20:1-3) “And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.”
Yes, after the thousand year reign of our Lord and His saints, Satan will be “loosed” back on the earth to deceive again.
But the Scriptures overwhelmingly say that the masses will be resurrected and taught God’s way during the thousand year reign of our Lord, when Satan is locked up.
(Satan will not be deceiving while the saints are teaching.)
There will be no Satanic influence during the teaching of the masses, but instead divine beings (members of the family of God Himself, the saints) will be teaching the masses His ways, and teaching them face to face.
(This Millennial time is pictured by the Feast of Tabernacles.)
There are many Scriptures that speak of the coming millennium that fit so well with the resurrection of the masses taking place during the thousand year reign of our Lord.
(Isaiah 30:20-21) “And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers:
And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.”
(This is speaking of the time when the saints will be teaching the masses.)
And according to the Scriptures, our deceased loved ones, our ancestors, and all the masses, will soon be back on this earth, and will be judged according to their past behavior.
There are many more Scriptures that support this. (Matthew 16:27) says: (and this is red letter again) “The Son of Man is going to come with his angels in his Father’s glory, and then he will repay everyone according to what he has done.” (past tense again.)
(1 Peter 4:17) says: “Judgment must begin in the house of God” but it doesn’t get postponed until after the one thousand year reign of Christ, like the pulpits teach.
The judgment continues for the masses at our Lord’s return.
(John 5:28-29) says: “Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear His voice, and shall come forth; they that have done good, (past tense) unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, (past tense) unto the resurrection of damnation.”
And the process is laid out quite orderly in the Holy Days.
The firstfruits will be resurrected first, at the end of the coming Great Tribulation.
(And the timing of the first resurrection is very clear in Scripture, and it’s not far away.)
(Speaking of the two witnesses being killed after they finish their testimony…)
(Revelation11:11-12) “And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.
And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.”
This is the first resurrection. All the saints will be resurrected at this time. Those in the graves will rise first, and those who are alive at that time will be changed in a twinkling of an eye.
(1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 “But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus wills God bring with him.
For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent (go before) them which are asleep.
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:
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.”
And in (1 Corinthians 15:51-52) it says: “Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.”
Are you missing a deceased loved one who is a firstfruit? We have known for a long time that they will be resurrected first, and will meet our Lord in the clouds. That’s what gives a believer hope in seeing them again.
What the Scriptures are clearly showing us today is that the masses will be resurrected sooner than we had anticipated.
Scripture after Scripture says the masses will be resurrected at the beginning of His one thousand year reign (not after) and “every eye shall see Him coming in the clouds.”
(They cannot see Him IF they are still asleep in their graves.)
Our Heavenly Father has a plan for all of mankind. He wants to dwell with us. But let us realize that one has to qualify to enter into His Kingdom. One has to repent of their evil – sinful ways. And He is no respecter of person. (Romans 2:11) and (Colossians 3:25).
Those who are part of the masses, (the ones who have done good while they were alive) will be resurrected back to physical life, and then they will be taught all of God’s ways by the saints during the millennium.
But those who are part of the masses (who have done evil) will be resurrected to damnation. (John 5:28-29).
If you are a firstfruit, you have to have a totally changed nature now (while Satan is still around) changed from “sinful nature” to the “Holy Righteous Character” of the Father. (Yes, our Creator wants us to be Holy, Just as He is Holy.)
Scripture is quite clear on that in many places, like in (1 john 3:3) where it says: “And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, (how pure) even as he is pure.”
His firstfruits have the power of His Spirit to accomplish that. IF we utilize that Spirit that He has given us.
We have to be studying, we have to be growing in grace and knowledge. We have to become “Holy” now.
Yes, we have to “overcome” the evil ways of this world, the lusts of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life. (1 John 2:15-17)
Don’t believe the “smooth talk” that one only has to be “trying” to overcome to succeed at our High Calling. (That’s just another fable taught from many pulpits.)
The “church of God community” believes and teaches that firstfruits need only to be “trying” to overcome. They say that all our Creator requires of us is to try.
But all seven churches are clearly told: “To him that overcometh” will I grant this and give that. (Just trying doesn’t cut it with firstfruits.)
Let us wake up, and not believe fables;
Our Creator has a plan, and it’s for all of mankind.
Our Lord will soon return. He will be meeting His church, His “little flock” in the clouds. Those who have succeed at overcoming, will stand with Him on the Sea of Glass. (Revelation 15:2).
There will be a marriage taking place up on that Sea of Glass. And then soon after that marriage, our Lord (and His saints) will be returning, to establish His Kingdom, here on this earth.
And “Every Eye Shall See Him” (all the masses) will see Him coming in the clouds.
Happy Feast of Trumpets Brethren.
