But i hope they who read the small translation will find it interesting. I will remark that the books is translated amateurly staight from Norwegien, and there is error, both in spelling and the meaning of the sentence-- in some old Internet programs the background color is distorted.. recommend version 4 Netscape/ Explorer Stein A Johannessen

The first coming of Jesus.
Daniel 9:25 Know therefore and understand, [that] from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem(this happened in the year 445 before Messiaha )unto the Messiah the Prince [shall be] seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks:( It,s together 69 weeks, witch is 483 yaers)the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. Daniel 9:26 And after threescore and two weeks( + 7) shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people(Romans) of the prince(Anti Christ) that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary;(The tempel in Jerusalem) and the end thereof [shall be] with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. Remark difficult to translate Daniel 9;25-26 whit the right parenthesis from the Norwegian texts
Psalm 118:22 The stone(Messiah) [which] the builders(Rabbis and the scripture learned) refused is become the head [stone] of the corner Hosea 5:15 I(Messiah) will go [and] return to my place(In haven), till they(the Jews)acknowledge their offence, and seek my face:(In the Tribulasjon) in their affliction they will seek me early. Hosea 6:1 Come,(they say) and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.Hosea 6:2 After two days(2000years) will he revive us: in the third day(millennium kingdom) he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight Hosea 3:4 For the children of Israel
shall abide many days(2000years)without a king, and without a prince, and
without a sacrifice, and without an image, and without an ephod, and [without]
teraphim:
Micah 5:3 Therefore will he (Messiah)give them up, until the time [that] she(Israel)which travaileth hath brought forth:(The salvation of the Jews in the end time) then the remnant of his brethren shall return unto the children of Israel. Zechariah 11:7 And I will feed(Messiah)
the flock of slaughter,(the Jews) [even] you, O poor of the flock.(the
Jews who belivd in Jesus) And I took unto me two staves; the one I called
Beauty, and the other I called Bands; and I fed the flock.Zechariah 11:8
Three shepherds(the shepherd care for Israel in the three first World Imperials)also
I cut off in one month; and my soul loathed them,(most of the Jews) and
their soul also abhorred me.
The Prophets and the Rabbis and the scripture learned knew in the scripture that the Messiah shod suffer and die for the sins of the Jews, and that he shod come back in a later time point to Israel( see my book The King of the Jews the suffering servant of the Lord and the Messiah is the suffering servant Book nr 4) We shall take some reference from the O.T. who shows, that this is correct Psalm 22:14 I(Messiah)am poured
out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax;
it is melted in the midst of my bowels.
Isaiah 53:4 Surely he hath borne
our griefs,(The Jews) and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken,
smitten of God, and afflicted.
In the different Rabbi schools the calculation of the coming of the Messiah shod appear after 2000 years of the time of the law.In the Elijah school tradition,shall the World exist in 7000 years.in the first 2000 years it was caos,the next 2000 years its the time of the law.The Last 2000 years was the days of the Messiah ,and the last 1000 years is the day of rest or the great Sabbath day of the world.That will be the golden age of the Earth.In the materiel way the Earth will be as rich as the garden of eden.In the spiritual way most of the humans will worship God and the King of the Jews who is Jesus of Nazareth. It means that the first 2000 years was the time of the getiles.The time of the law and the Jews, begins whit Abraham and it reach forward to the first coming, of the Messiah.From Abraham to Messiah shod there be 2000 years,Messiah shod come 2000 years after Abraham ,and as we know that happend.The Bible interpreter Rasji has said as follows ,about this calculations.As follows the Messiah shall come after 2000 years of the time of the law and the King shall be destroyed and exterminated (Jesu death on the cross),and the slavery of Israel shod be ended.The Jews Messiah who is Jesus of Nasaret came after 2000 years after Abraham.The old Rabbis had understood this correct, but as we know the Jewish people did not recognize Jesus of Nazareth as their Messiah ,because of this,he cud not establish the Kingdom for them.Many of the Jews says ;when Jesus dont establisj the kingdom of Israel whit his first coming,he cud not be the Messiah of the Jews.This is a to simpel way to look at it. The Jewish ) people did not recognize Jesus as their Messiah because of this ,there was no Kingdom. Jesus is still waiting for the recognition of the Jews as their Messiah.When this happens he will come back from the sky and establish the Kingdom for Israel. Jesus Say
Matthew 23:39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed [is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord. This will happend in the end of the tribulation period who shall come over the hole world to try them who lives on the Earth.The main reason for the rejection of Jesus was that the religious leaders in Israel don't understood the reconciliation side of the Messiah.They belief, it was not necessary for one to reconcile the sins of the Jewish people,they shod do it themselves, whit good deeds.( see my book The King of the Jews book nr 4 the capter, the conception of sin in Judaisem) In the ortodox Judaisem is unfortunately the reconciliation side whit Messiah fallen out.Most of the worship of God is tie up to the singular effort to fulfill the Sinai law and the Rabbis many interpretation of it.The orthodox Jews think it,s the only the five book of Moses who is quit to trust; in the O.T, because its the direct word from God to the Jewish People, through;Moses, God spoken to Moses direct in (countenance), in the sight of God. What concern the Prophets and the many approach to the problems they decrive in the O.T ,they are less trustabele as for the five book of Moses. The Orthodox Jews mean ,as longer a Scripture is from the time of Sinai ,then it is lesser and lesser credible. But off cause it,s not like this, when the Jews first understand to take regard off the hole O.T.then they will understand that Jesus of Nazareth, is the Jews Messiah and King, and that they need the reconciliation side whit him.And the Jewish revelation of God is not just the Law ,- but also Grace. Whit the first coming of Jesus he offer the Jewish people both the historic kingdom for Israel whit its spiritual contents .Becausee the Jewish people rejected his offer about the Kingdom., Jesus said clearly that the Kingdom of God will be tacking from the spiritual leaders in Israel and be given to a people who give fruit.This people was the Apostles and the believers in Israel.
Matthew 21:43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. Jesus was totally aver of, that the Jewish people would not receive him and his offer, about the Kingdom for Israel..This is quite clear in the gospel of Matthew, which is, first a description of Jesus as the King, in the Kingdom for Israel.we can separate the gospel of Matthew,in tree parts, what concern the preaching of Jesus about the Kingdom of God.As offer cud the Kingdom be establish whit the first coming of Jesus ,but as reality as a (salvation) rescue historian Kingdom can it not be establish before the cekond coming of Jesus,because its dependent of the recognizing of Jesus of Nazareth as the Messiah and King of the hole Jewish Nation.
Zechariah 12:10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced,(On the cross) and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for [his] only [son], and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for [his] firstborn. Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and
be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing(the
Kingdom for Israel) shall come from the presence of the Lord;
The Kingdom of haven is near From chapter 4 to chapter 12 in Matthew , Jesus spoke direct to the Jewish people about the Kingdom for Israel. The Kingdom of Israel was near.He for offers the Kingdom to Israel ,on this term ,:Israel had to repent( and hold the law),and come to a personal fait on him, as the Messiah and the Saviour of Israel
Matthew 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. The expresjon The kingdom of heaven means (the Kingdom for Israel) It was this Kingdom. the O.T. prophets had spoken about.It was that Kingdom, John the Baptist had announce when he request the people to regret their sins and come to him ,and get a part in the baptize who God had instructed him to do.It was a baptize who claimed repentance,as a condition, who gave salvation as the result.We have to be aver of the main reason of the expression the Kingdom of God in the Bible .The meaning is, the Kingdom for Israel.The God of the Trinity shall rule the world from Jerusalem and Israel (see my book the Kingdom of God in Israel where i go through the different expression concerning the Kingdom of God)from here Oskar E Indergaard is refer to many of the books he has written about this subject,Iam sorry to say that i cant translate all the huge contents of the different books ) The pracing of Jesus is both the Law and the Grace, and it will be exactly; like this in the Kingdom for Israel .Jesus shall rule the gentiles whit authority from the law and the word of God.
Isaiah 2:3 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. In his pracing Jesus wanted the hole Jewish people, as a Nation to repent, and come to the believe in him.As we know a great crowd of Jews came to him in belif,but most of the pepole rejeckt him.In Mattewj 11,20-24 Jesus chastenments hole cites because the people would not submit to his teaching and come to the belief in him.
Matthew 11:20 Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not:Matthew 11:21 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. Matthew 11:22 But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you. Matthew 11:23 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. Matthew 11:24 But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee. In Matthew 12,24-37 Jesus chastenmented the Fraises and the the scripture learned and the Sadducee because they would not believe in him, and because they accused Jesus to stand in the lead whit Satan ,whit the cast out of the evil spirits. Matthew 12:24 But when the Pharisees
heard [it], they said, This [fellow] doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub
the prince of the devils.Matthew 12:25 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and
said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation;
and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:
Matthew 12:29 Or else how can one
enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind
the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.
In Matthew 12,38-45 Jesus announce the Judgment over the Jewish people,he knew that the Jews would not receive him as the Messiah and Savior off the world. Matthew 12:38 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee. Matthew 12:39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: Matthew 12:40 For as Jonas was three
days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be
three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
Matthew 12:43 When the unclean spirit
is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and
findeth none.
In parentheses I will mention Jonah the prototype off Jesus and the Jewish Nation ,as follows.As the same way as Jonah was a sign for the people in Nineve ,just the same way whit Jesus, for the people of Israel.Jonah was tree days in the whales belly,Jesus was in the (Kingdom of Death) or ( in the earths womb?Difficult to translate)exact, the same time ,tree days Jonah pointed forward to the redemption for the sins of the World
Luke 11:30 For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation. The Prophet Jonah try to withdraw him self from the call of God ,to go whit the message to the inhabitants of Nineve in Assyria, to announce the word of God to repent ,or face judgment.He is also a pattern of the Jewish people who have, to that extend ,has withdrawal themselves from the mission of God to the world. The Jews is of the opinion that they don't need to be e. the seven noahkittis commandments, if they effort to hold them ,they will be a part of the salvation.The Jews was also unwilling to go out to the gentiles whit the gospel of the Kingdom who contends the preaching of Jesus and the good news that Jesus was death for all the sins of humanity.The sin is redeemd and taken away (turned away) see book the King of the Jews nr 4capter the reconciliation of Jesus on the cross) Exact as Jonah try to escape from God and withdraw from the obligation God lay oppe on him. Just the same way has the Jewish people withdrawn them self from this commitments in 4000 years. We know that the covenant whit Abraham who also include us gentiles has a direct appeal to the Jewish People to be engage in Mission for the Gentiles.In the the first book of Moses(12.3 It says through Abraham shall all the families of the earth be blessd.Abrahams family or( race)is both the Jewish people and Jesus.The Jews shod of this reason be engage in Mission of this Gospel to the Gentiles, that they shall be a part in the gospel of the Messiah and the blessing of the Jews.Just the same way as Jonah convert and walked to Ninevites and did the works of the Lord,shall also the Jewish People in connection whit the Grate Tribulation convert and go to the gentiles whit the gospel of the Kingdom.Then they shall contribute to a great multitude of gentiles shall be wun for the Kingdom of God .The 144000 sealed of the twelve tribes of Israel who wins the great white multitude of all the people of the earth.
Revelation 7:9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; Revelation 7:10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb. In the millennium Kingdom The Jews will be the Leading Mission People of the Earth.In eur time the singular individuals is won for the kingdom of God .In the millennium Kingdom Nations will be won for the kingdom of God.Then first! ,will the mission command in Matthew 28.18-20 comm. to its real development and it,s full right.
Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: ![]() Matthew 28:20 Teaching them to observe
all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always,
[even] unto the end of the world. Amen.
In Matthew 23 Jesus strongly warns for the last time the scripture learned and Pharisees, because they was his opponent and responsible for his crucifixion,.and dath.As a koncekvens and logic follows, the scripture learned and Pharisees had reject Jesus for the last three years of his missjon.They reject him officially and juridical,together whit the Romans,and condemn him to death on the cross.
Matthew 26:65 Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy. Matthew 26:66 What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death. Matthew 27:22 Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? [They] all say unto him, Let him be crucified. Acts 4:26 The kings of the earth
stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against
his Christ.Acts 4:27 For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom
thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles,
and the people of Israel, were gathered together,
The secret of the heavenly Kingdom In Mattjew 13 Jesus told his apostles and the Jewish people about the secret of the Kingdom of God.These secret was,the Kingdom of Israel shod not be establish whit the first coming of Christ ,because of the rejection of Jesus of Nasaret as their King and Messiha. The concrete and historic Kingdom of God shod be postponed to a later occasion.Mattjew 13 contains the following 7 parables,= Is telling us about - The Kingdom of God ,from the Jews rejection of it, and to the Jugdment over the Gentiles, and the coming of Christ. Parable nr 1Mat.13.3-23. Jesus is telling us abut his precing of the Kingdom in Israel in conneckon whit his first presence in Israel. He sow the word of God in three years, some fell on rocky ground,some fell on torns and thistle.and some fell on the good soil,the good soil was them of the Jews who understand the preaching of the kingdom,and receive him as their personal Savor.They where saved and and they will be in the Kingdom. In the Christian Church this parable is also used but its belong to the people of Israel Many things Jesus says belong to the Jewish People we Christians loan take many promises in common good, who belongs to Israel ,Stein A Johannessen)
Matthew 13:23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth [it]; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. Parable nr 2 Mat,13,24-30 Jesus is telling us abut the Christian preaching through the Church age and to the coming of Christ and the Judgment over the Nations.The Jews shall be gated by Angels and carry back to Israel in the end time.
Matthew 13:43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom(of Israel) of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. Parable nr 3 Mat 13,31-32 Jesus is telling us about the expansion of the Kingdom of God to the coming of Christ. It shall becometh a great tree,so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches
The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:Matthew 13:32 Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof. This Parable tells us also about
the abnormal grow of the Church and expansion in the end time, also abut
all the false religion in thethe apostasy Chuck ( Babylon the great harlot
) and in the center the Roman Catholic Church and its false teaching and
doctrine.
( I don't want to offend my Catholic Christian brothers,but we have to see what fundament we are building on, is it on the Tradition!!! of man, or the word of God, --hey and straw= the tradition /or solid rock ground= the word of God.When the the believers is taken away the Church will be just a empty shell whit out ,The Holy Spiret.This is common for all Church communities. And it will be open for other dark source of spiritual powers. Stein A Johannessen) It will be first in the time of the Kingdom of Israel ,we will have the tremendous grow,and it will embrace the hole world.And the senter in the Kingdom shall be Israel and Jerusalem.Jesus will come back and rule the hole world.Then shall all the gentile Nation seek to the Messiah Kingdom. Parable nr 4 Mat 13.33 Is telling us about the false teaching and the harlot Church in the end time
Matthew 13:33 Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman(the harlot Church) took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened. The leaven its trough the hole scripture a symbol of evil and false teaching.The woman its spoken about here, is a picture of the harlot Church in the end time. In the law of Moses it was forbidden to mix leaven into the meal offering ,the same way as the hole meal offering was leavened. The harlot Church teaching,shall permeate pervade the religious system in the end time.It will be made up of both Jewish ,Christians and Pagan elements. Parable nr 5 Mat 13,44 Jesus is telling us about a treasure hidden in a field.
Matthew 13:44 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. This man it,s spoken about here is Jesus, the treasure in the field is the Jewish people, the field is here a picture of the hole World.Jesus gave his life for the sins of the hole world.The Jewish people have been hide in the field for nearly 2000 years Parable nr 6 Mat 13,45-46. The merchant man here is Jesus he lookt after good pearls among both Jews and Gentiles the pearl he fond is the Christian body who exist of both ,believing, Jews and Gentiles.He gave his life for them and bough them back to God.
Matthew 13:45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: Matthew 13:46 Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it. Parable nr 7 Mat 13.47-50. This parable tells us about the coming of Christ and the Judgment over the Nations in the end time.
Matthew 13:47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:Matthew 13:48 Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.Matthew 13:49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,Matthew 13:50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. From Matthew. 4 and to chapter 12, Jesus spoke directly to the Jewish people about the kingdom of God, and himself as the King of the Jews, and the Messiah.When the Jews as people and Nation reject him, he begins from Chapter 13 to speak to them ,at the rest of his preaching in parables.When he spock to the pepole, he only spock to them in parables.But to the apostels and the disiples he explain the parables, when they was alone whit Jesus.This conditions that Jesus spoke to the people in parables, gave also the expression that the people was under Judgment.
Matthew 13:10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? Matthew 13:11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. Matthew 13:12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.Matthew 13:13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. Matthew 13:14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: Matthew 13:15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, and [their] ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with [their] eyes and hear with [their] ears, and should understand with [their] heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. Matthew 13:16 But blessed [are]
your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
The kingdom will come when Jesus return. From The Gospel of Matthew 13 and to the end of the Gospel , Jesus spoke about the different sides whit the Kingdom.In this preaching its distinct that the Kingdom of Israel would not be establish, but postponed to a later point in time.This will happend whit his coming,
Matthew 10:22 And ye( The Orthodox Jews and the Messiah believing Jews and ) shall be hated of all [men] for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.Matthew 10:23 But when they(the gentiles and the unbelieving Jews) persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.(The Coming of Christ) Matthew 23:38 Behold, your house
is left unto you desolate.
Matthew 24:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what [shall be] the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. Matthew 24:27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Matthew 24:30 And then shall appear
the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of
the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds
of heaven with power and great glory.
Matthew 24:37 But as the days of
Noe [were], so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Matthew 25:5 While the bridegroom
tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
Matthew 25:10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him the marriage: and the door was shut. Matthew 25:19 After a long time(2000Years)the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them. Matthew 25:31 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:(In Jerusalem) Luke 12:40 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not Luke 23:42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.(the coming of Jesus) Luke 24:26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? John 7:33 Then said Jesus unto them,
Yet a little while am I with you, and [then] I go unto him that sent me.
John 12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all [men](All who Believes) unto me. John 14:2 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 16:7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. John 16:28 I came forth from the
Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to
the Father.
Jesus made it clear to his Apostles and disciples that he would not establish the Kingdom whit his first coming.Because of the rejection of the Jewish people and to establish the Kingdom was impossible.The Kingdom for Israel was postponed ,and we got the time of the Christian Community which have lasted in nearly 2000 years.When the Christian body who consist of,believing Jews and Gentiles is complete,Jesus will come in to the lover parts of haven and take the believers to oneself (or whit him)After this we have the7 years of the last70 year week of Daniel who is 490years.After this Jesus is coming again and establish The Kingdom for Israel (About the 70 year week see my book Israel and the Christian Community or the King of the Jews book nr 4).What concern the Christian community and the many secret about this--,It,s not spoken about this in the Gospels.It was the Apostle Paul who receive the mission of the Lord to tell us about this. The many expression ,in the many letters, to the different communities tells us about this ,in the new Testament.In the Gospels is the Christian community just indicated a few times
Matthew 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. John 10:16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, [and] one shepherd.(in the time of the Kingdom) John 17:20 Neither pray I for these
alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
The preaching of Jesus don't premery concern the Christian congregation but the Jewish People.Jesu preaching and his teaching concern the Kingdom for Israel.We cant without further, set sign of equation ,between what Jesus said in the Gospels ,and what Paul say in the letters.
The return of Jesus for the Christian community We have to divide between the coming of Jesus for the Christian congregation!!! / And The coming of Christ for the Jews and the World.The first event will be 7 years earlier--- before the other.The coming of Jesus for the Christian congregation was a secret who is not reveled in the O.T. None of the evangelists new about this.When they spoke about the coming of Christ,it was the coming for Israel they spoke about.The evangelists build their description of what Jesus had said to them.His message was primarily, the Jews and the different conditions whit the Kingdom for Israel. Neither Jesus or the evangelists mention the rapture of the Christian congregation.They spoke about the last resurrection on the last day.It was the same as the resurrection of the believers in the Old Testamentary times.
John 5:28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, John 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. John 6:40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. John 11:23 Jesus saith unto her,
Thy brother shall rise again.
It was Paul who received the revelation about the Christian Community and the circumstances that Jesus shall come to the lower parts of haven and take the believers unto him.Before the Tribulation period or the great day of the wrath of God.The conditions that the believing Jews shod be resurrected at the last day was well known in the in the O.T.but the circumstances that the Messiah should come down in the air and take the believers unto himself, this was not known.This was a secret.
Corinthians-1 15:51 Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, Corinthians-1 15:52 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. Thessalonians-1 4:13 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.
The rapture of the Christian Community is the special hope for the body of Christ.Many Bible interpreters believes that the rapture of the Christian Community is the same as the O.T resurrection.I beliefs from my point of view that the rapture only concern the Christian Community. From here I will end this chapter in this Book of Oskar E Indergaard ,see the book The rapture of the Christian Community. Its the holy spirit who makes alive It,s the Holy spirit who lives in a harts who do it possible to be whit him in the rapture.This is eur inner seal and pledge to the day of redemption, the same way the holy spirit rose Jesus from the death, he shallquicken our mortal bodys,and arise us us from the death( be changed.) we will meet the lord in the sky when he comes.They who have the spirit of the lord, belongs to the lord.They who have not the spirit does not have the Father or the Son.The holy spirit who is in us is the main proof ,that we will be taken away in the rapture.
Romans 8:10 And if Christ [be] in you, the body [is] dead because of sin; but the Spirit [is] life because of righteousness. Romans 8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. Romans 6:5 For if we have been planted
together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also [in the likeness]
of [his] resurrection:
Corinthians-1 6:14 And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power. Corinthians-2 4:14 Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present [us](for God) with you. Ephesians 1:19 And what [is] the
exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the
working of his mighty power,Ephesians 1:20 Which he wrought in Christ,
when he raised him from the dead, and set [him] at his own right hand in
the heavenly [places],
Philippians 3:20 For our conversation
is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus
Christ:
Colossians 2:10 And ye are complete
in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
Peter-1 3:18 For Christ also hath
once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us
to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
(Remark) Every one ,Who says ,That Jesus is the Lord and beliefs it, in his hart ,have the holy spirit Expression about Jesus return for the Christian community So it shod be easy to divide between the coming of Jesus for the Christian congregation ,and Jesu coming for Israel we will use the New Testament different expression on these occasions.We will mention 5 expression who goes on the expressions of the Christian Community
1The day of Christ "or the day of the lord Jesus Christ or" the day of the lord Jesus or" The coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Corinthians-1 1:8 Who shall also confirm you unto the end, [that ye may be] blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. Corinthians-1 5:5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. Philippians 1:10 That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ; Philippians 2:16 Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain. Thessalonians-2 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and [by] our gathering together unto him, Ephesians 4:30 And grieve not the
holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
The expression the day of redemption.can also go on for the coming of Christ for the Christian Comjunety The expression the day goes on both, the rapture and the coming for Israel It,s the relation how the expression is used in, who decides what the expression means. The expression we have quoted below ,consern the coming for the christian comjunety.
Thessalonians-1 5:8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. Hebrews 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some [is]; but exhorting [one another]: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. Peter-2 1:19 We have also a more
sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto
a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star(The
coming of Christ for the Christian Community) arise in your hearts:
The expression in that day.can also go on both comings.
Thessalonians-2 1:10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day. Timothy-2 1:12 For the which cause I also suffer(Paul) these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. The expression by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and [by] our gathering together unto him, it means , the coming for the Christian congregation Thessalonians-2 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and [by] our gathering together unto him, The return of Jesus will be in stage by stage 1.)Stage The coming of Christ and the different events who has connection whit this, is mention 319 times in the New Testament.It will say that the coming of Christ is mention average, mean, for each 25 verse.As many other events in the Bible The coming of Christ will be in stages .We has as follows, 3 stages 1: The coming of Jesus down in the air and take the Christian Congregation whit him.This is a secret ,and invisible coming. It will happened suddenly in a moment, instant; of time whit the last trumpet.He comes alone to save they who beliefs in him.It is a coming of Salvation.
Corinthians-1 15:51 Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, Corinthians-1 15:52 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. Thessalonians-1 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:
What marks the coming of Christ for the Christian Community is as follows 7 conditions A) Jesus will come down to the air B) Jesus will take the Christian Community whit him (to himself) C).This is a secret coming D) It will happen suddenly E) It will happen whit last trumpet. F) Jesus come alone G) Jesus will come to save they who beliefs in him. 2.) stage After Satan and his Angels (evil Spirits) is thrown ot of the heavenly,where they have their residence,and down to the earth Rev 12.7-9.Is there many indication that the presents of the divine world(the dimension of God) (the heavenly Jerusalem or the heavenly world is moved closer to earth The divine World take the place who was occupied by Satan and his angels.We have some Bible verses who shows that the humans in the tribulation period is aware of; of the presents of God and Jesus.in the heavenly or the heavenly Jerusalem.serounded wit the sky of glory or the glory of Sheckina.
Psalm 2:1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? Psalm 2:2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, [saying], Psalm 2:3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. Psalm 2:4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. Psalm 2:5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.Psalm 2:6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. Matthew 24:30 And then( after the great Tribulation) shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. Matthew 26:64 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power,(of God) and coming in the clouds of heaven. 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. Revelation 11:12 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. Revelation 13:6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. 3) stage After the great tribulation is over Jesus comes whit the Angels and the Believers down to earth.His feet shall stand on the mount of olivine .This is a coming who is visible for all.It is a coming of judgment, for Satan Antichrist the false Prophet and the infidels. Its further a coming to the establish, the Kingdom for Israel.The coming of Jesus to the mount of olivine will be followed by great naturel disasters and cosmic destruction What marks the coming for Israel is as follows A) Jesus comes whit the Angels and the Believers B) Jesus comes down to earth C ) The coming of Christ is visible for all D) Its a Coming of Judgment E) Its a Coming to establish the Kingdom for Israel F) The coming of Christ will be accompany by great Naturel disasters and cosmic destruction. G) The Coming of Christ will be, when the great tribulation is over.When we compare expressions who concern the Christian Community, whit expressions who concern the coming to the mount of olivine, do we see that this is totally different two;events.We have to understand, and be careful not to mix these to events.Between these to events is the seven years of the tribulation period.
Zechariah 14:4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which [is] before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, [and there shall be] a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. Matthew 16:27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.

Mark 13:24 But in those days, after
that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give
her light,Mark 13:25 And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers
that are in heaven shall be shaken.
Thessalonians-1 3:13 To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints. Revelation 17:14 These 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.

opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him [was] called
Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

Different Greek words used about the return of Jesus There is used 3 diffrent greek words in the coming of Christ this is 1) PARALUSIA. Its used 24 times in the N.T.Its meanes both ARRIVAL. PERSONALLY -PRESENCE and COMING.This word is used about the coming of Christ for the Christian (Community) or Congregation and also. the coming for Israel.We shall as follows give 4 exsampels on the use of this word.The first 2 exsempels concern the coming for the Christian Congregation the last two concern the coming for Israel.
Thessalonians-1 4:15 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( Greek -ten parusian tu kyriu) shall not prevent them which are asleep. Thessalonians-2 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ,(tes parusias tu kuriu) and [by] our gathering together unto him, Matthew 24:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what [shall be] the sign of thy coming,( ses parusias) and of the end of the world? Matthew 24:39 And knew not until
the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the
Son of man( he pausia )be.
2) EPIFANIA .This expression is used 6 times in the N.T. the meaning of the word is, revealed ,shining forward, visible appearance,This word is used for both coming.We shell tacke 4 exsempels of the use of this word .The first 2 exsempels concern the coming for the Christian Congregation the last two concern the coming for Israel.
Timothy-1 6:14 That thou keep [this] commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing (tes epifaneias)of our Lord Jesus Christ: Titus 2:13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing(epifaneian) of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Thessalonians-2 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:(epifaneian tes parusias avtu) Timothy-2 4:1 I charge [thee] therefore
before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the
dead at his appearing( ten epifaneian) and his kingdom;( the Kingdom for
Israel)
3) APOKALYPSIS this word is used 17 times in the N.T. Apocalypse. Both English titles are derived from the first word in the Greek original, apokalypsis (revelation).,This word is used for both coming.We shell tacke 4 exsempels of the use of this word .The first 2 exsempels concern the coming for the Christian Congregation the last two concern the coming for Israel.
Corinthians-1 1:7 So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming (ten apokalypson)of our Lord Jesus Christ: Peter-1 1:13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation (apokalyp sei)of Jesus Christ; Romans 8:19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation(ten apokalypsin) of the sons of God.(this will happend when Jesus is coming for Israel) Thessalonians-2 1:7 And to you who
are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed(te apokalypsei)
from heaven with his mighty angels,
As we have seen above the 3 words is used both of the coming of Christ for the Christian congregation ,and the coming for Israel.It is the connection where they are placed,who shows us which meaning the word shall have.I will in this connection quote from illustrated Bible encyclopaedia book nr 3, page 196 who says about the use of these words:These three terms characterize the coming of Christ from 3 different point of view,but they indicate, that there is no separation or unlike stages of this event.A inward search of this shows that the word Parousia not can be limited to just only signify the coming of Christ for the congregation,or epifaneia ,a coming after the tribulasjon for Israel.The coming of Christ will be in stages.If this is the case, can we see in the letter to the Thessalonians-2 2:8 where the words(epifaneian tes parusias avtu)is used in the same connection.
Thessalonians-2 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:(epifaneian tes parusias avtu) This meanes that Jesus shall destroy the Antichrist, when he Jesus is revealed in visible character. I will also quote from the study Bible book nr 5.page,785-787 This paradoxical picture who the scripture draws of the coming of Christ,shows that the coming can not be a singular event, but rater as a serial of events,something who unfold it self in stages.The rapture will happend in a moment of time,1.Corinthians 15,52.-.But the expression, Parusien contains both the Lords arrival and his presence, and it culminates at last in the peculiar expression ,the brightness of his coming:(epifaneian tes parusias avtu) Its talks about both the son of men's day,Luk.17,26.and the days of the son of man Luk.17,30.After this view introduces parusien or the coming, before the tribulation where he comes down in the air and tack his community op to himself.1 Thessalonians 4,16.as follows:but the coming is closed whit the Lords coming after the tribulation period is over.In a gigantic manifestation whit all the holy saints.Rev 19,11 as follows:In the meanwhile these comings shod not be understood as to comings.It concern the hole time the same return in different stages of revelation.Like this, there is a explanation and meaning to unite, the contrasts who we meets in the scripture. The body of glory In connection whit the coming of Jesus for the Christian Community each single member will be fully clothed (change Metafose ) whit a glorys body(the sainted body ) we shall inherit the same body as Jesus.The basis for the body of Glory is our mortal earthly body.Ther is sown a naturel body,and there arise a spiritual body ,who can not die .It have life in itself. In the same way as Jesus have life inhimself , in his person,just the same way whit the new, glorys body.
Corinthians-1 15:35 But some [man] will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come? Corinthians-1 15:36 [Thou] fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die: Corinthians-1 15:37 And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other [grain]: Corinthians-1 15:38 But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.Corinthians-1 15:39 All flesh [is] not the same flesh: but [there is] one [kind of] flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, [and] another of birds. Corinthians-1 15:40 [There are] also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial [is] one, and the [glory] of the terrestrial [is] another. Corinthians-1 15:41 [There is] one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for [one] star differeth from [another] star in glory. Corinthians-1 15:42 So also [is]
the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in
incorruption:
Corinthians-1 15:46 Howbeit that
[was] not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward
that which is spiritual.
Corinthians-1 15:50 Now this I say,
brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither
doth corruption inherit incorruption.
In this Bible verses we have following informasjon about the glorys body A) It will have a difrent glory and lustre than the earthly body. B) Its immortal incorruptible C) It arise in power and glory D) It has relation whit our earthly body E) It is a body who have life in it self. F) It,s a body who is accurately like the body of Christ. After Jewish and Christian way of thinking ,exist the earthy body of spirit (Greek pneuma) soul(psyke) and body(soma).This three different parts is attach to different quality or different awareness.The body have the external awareness as sight, hearing ,taste ,and feeling.The soul have the quality of emotion wishes will and sense.Its throe the spirit(the believing dimension) humans can come in contact whit God and believe in him.When Adam fell in sin was the believing dimension in the humans destroyed,whit the consequence that humans cant come in contact whit God or maintain the contact or fellowship whit him.The contact cud only happened through a substitute through offerings and through repentance,and penanc.At the same way as God is the God of trinity this is also the case ,whit the human sanity.Tru our body and sanity we have consciousness of the world.The body(soma) who can be the hole human,it can also be the humane part who stand in the contrast to spiret and soul.We shall tacke som exsampels of the use of this word in the N.T.
Matthew 5:29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast [it] from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not [that] thy whole body should be cast into hell. Matthew 14:12 And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus. Thessalonians-1 5:23 And the very
God of peace sanctify you wholly; and [I pray God] your whole spirit and
soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ.
Through its soul (psyke)humans have contact whit ourselves and its inner life.We have self consciousness.The soul is often understood as life itself or the spirit of life,and is often translated whit life in some cases.The soul stands also for a persons inner life.Its the soul who is the connecter or connection between the human body and spirit.The soul means in some connection the hole person.In the N.T.the word soul(psyke) occur approximately a 100 times.We shall quote from some places in the N.T.where this expression is used.
Matthew 2:20 Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child's life. Matthew 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Matthew 10:39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it. Matthew 12:18 Behold my servant,
whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will
put my spirit upon him, and he shall show judgment to the Gentiles.
See also Matthew 23,37-Matthew 26,38- Mark 3,4 Luk 1,47-Luk 1,47-Luk12,19.20-Luk 21,19-Joh 10,11. Through its spirit (pneuma) has humans contackt whit God.The humans have consciousness of God.The word is used 250 times in the N.T.The word spirit has a divided or different meaning, for example.The holy spirit ,wind, breath, evil spirits,good spirits and perfect spirits.In our connection stands the spirit for the invisible part of humans in contrast to the body ,who is the visible part.
Luke 1:47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. Luke 10:21 In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight. John 4:24 God [is] a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship [him] in spirit and in truth. John 11:33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled, Acts 17:16 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry.. Acts 18:25 This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John. Romans 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: James 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. Peter-1 3:4 But [let it be] the
hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, [even the ornament]
of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
I will in this connection quote what ,The Scofild Reference Bible says about the three separation of humans, page 1270.The conditions of the soul and spirit is not the same,this is proved whit that fact that they can be divided (Hebrw 4,12)and that soul and spirit is sharp divided whit the death of the body and ressurecjon.Corinthians-1 15:44 It is sown a natural body;(soma)it is raised a spiritual body.(soma prneumatikon)To say that there is no difference, of soul and spirit, is to say that there is no difference of the mortal body, and the resurrection body.In Biblical use we have to divide between spirit and soul.If we shall treat this wary short,,"the seprasjon is,"the spiret is a part of the human, who knows" 1Corinthians 2,11 in its mind."The soul "is a seat; of affections wishes emotions and the active will ,ourselves.
Matthew 26:38 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death :see also Matt 11,29 and Joh 12,27) The word who is translated whit soul in the O.T. (Hebrew,nephesh) is accurately the same as in the N.T.(Greek psyke) The use of the words in Hebrew and in Greek is identical.see Deuteronomy ( 5 bok of Moses)6.5-14,26) 1samuel.18,1,20,4 and 17,Job7,11and 15, 14,22,Psalm 42,6 and 84,2.) The word for spirit in the N.T.(pneuma) is identical in the O.T.(ruach) its translated as air, breath,vind," but for the most whit spirit ,or" whit the spirit of God (Genesis 1,2 and,Matthew 3,16 .or the spirit of man (human spirit) Genesis 41,8 and 1 Corinthians 5,5 For the reason, that the human is" spirit ,do we have consciousness of God. or God consciousness. And can communize whit God ,see Job32,8.Psalm 18,28.and Proverbs 20,27. For the reason, that the human is"soul" do we haw self consciousness.see Psalm 13,2 42,5,6 and 11. For the reason, that the human is"Body it have consciousness of the world or world consciousness.see Genesis 1,26.) When Christ return the first time, he restore the hole human rase whit his act of reconciliation or redemption ,on the Cross for us all. And whit the belive in him, can all humans restor its spirit ,soul,and body.In the redemption of Christ we are Perfect both in spirit ,soul,and Body.in (countenance), in the sight of God. -tru Jesus o'er Savior.
Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all [ye] that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.Matthew 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. Thessalonians-1
5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and [I pray God] your
whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of
our Lord Jesus Christ.
To receive and be renewed whit the body of glory ",.The naturel body have to break down and die.If not we are the Lucy ones ,of the last generation who will experience the rapture,and be fully dressed of the heavenly body (be change) The condition that we have to die has its curse in the fall of sin of Adam and Eve.Its a part of the law of sin and death.We know that when God create man ,it become a living soul ,Genesis 2,7 They was created immortal they had life in themself..But of the fall in sin and disobedience against God,the sin and death come inn to this world.And the life age, of the humans was also reduced in three stages. A)Before the fall of sin in the garden of Eden the first humans had eternal life and a immortal body.They where perfect in spirit soul and body. B) After the fall of sin and forward; to the grate flood (the days of Noa) humans cud live to be a 1000 years old ,Metusalah who is the oldest was 969 years old when he die C) After the flood the human age was reduced to 120 years
Genesis 6:3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also [is] flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. Deuteronomy 34:7 And Moses [was]
an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor
his natural force abated.
The condition that we growing old and die, is a naturel consequence of the fall.It was not the pleasant will of God that we shall grow old and die. He had better plans for humanity, the first humans didn't want to live in accordance with the plan of God ,and was disobedient, and the hole human race, falls in sin. God have to rescue us whit different rescue operasjons.The condition that we will receive a glories body who is equal to the body of Jesus ,is one of the rescue plans of God.We daunt want to die,it will say ,to be undressed our earthly body,but we wisj to be fully clothed our new body.Its the new creation in us who will be clothed whit the new body.
Corinthians-2 5:1 For we know that if our earthly house(ertly body) of [this] tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands,(body of Glory) eternal in the heavens. Corinthians-2 5:2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: Corinthians-2 5:3 If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked. Corinthians-2 5:4 For we that are in [this] tabernacle(ertly body) do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life. The rapture of the Christian community and ascend to heaven will happend in to stages.The death in Christ who have waited for a long time will be chanced first.Ther after shall we who are alive when Jesus is coming, we shall be taken opp. in the sky together whit them they who was death in Christ and we shall always be together whit Jesus. We shall comfort eachother whit this words.and see forward to the coming of Christ and to meet our death loved ones.
Corinthians-1 15:51 Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, Corinthians-1 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump:(the voice of Jesus) for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. Corinthians-1 15:53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal [must] put on immortality.Corinthians-1 15:54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. Thessalonians-1 4:14 For if we believe
that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus
will God bring with him.
The rapture of the Christian community is also in the expression; the the right of a child
Romans 8:22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. Romans 8:23 And not only [they], but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption,(the right of a child) [to wit], the redemption of our body. The glories body we will receive, will be equal to the body of our Lord Jesus Christ ,after his resurrection from the death.Befor his death and resurrection he was limited to his earthly body,who was perfect in all ways.After his death for all the sins of the world, and after his resurrection, his earthly body was clouded whit all the quality who belongs to the glorious body.Whit the coming for the Christian community,we will receive the same glorious body as Christ. Then first the fall of sin is restored for they who belivs.Then we will be made equal to him Jesus o'er Lord .Let us praise Him Then we shall see and understand him, Jesus o'er Lord.Then death has no power o'er our bodys.We shall newer die
Philippians 3:20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: Philippians 3:21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself. John-1 3:2 Beloved, now are we the
sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that,
when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he
is.
What concerns death it will loose its meaning, signification, in three stages, and its as follows. 1) Jesus conquered death on the cross on Calvary ( Hebrew Golgata)
Colossians 2:15 [And] having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.(on the Cross) 2) Whit the Rapture of the Christian community Death is swallowed up in victory.
Corinthians-1 15:54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. 3) At the end of the millennium Kingdom, shall death be destroyed and cast into the lake of fire.
Corinthians-1 15:25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.Corinthians-1 15:26 The last enemy [that] shall be destroyed [is] death. AMEN
I will remark that the books is translated amateurly staight from Norwegien, and there is error, both in spelling and the meaning of the sentence.But I hope I have got the importants of the subject . And I hope the English readers forgive me for my bad English. Stein A Johannessen
