God Thinking XXV - The Beginning of Revelation 7

Refer back to Revelation 1:7,
V7 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.

As of A.D. 96 Jesus had not come in the clouds and every eye had not seen Him.  It has not happened yet, but it is about to happen.  Remember what happened after the first  2,000 years - the salvation of eight and the destruction of all mankind - after the second 2,000 years - the veil of the temple was rent and all religious systems and sacrifices for sins were abolished. 

God came to man as the man Jesus Christ and saved a remnant.  But all those who climb up some other ladder will be lost.

And here we are at the end of another 2,000 years and God is about to do a mighty work.  God is going to separate the wheat from the chaff.  He is not going to do this outside the church, He is going to do this inside the Church.  Those outside the Church are already separated from God.

The world is fast becoming intolerant of Jesus Christ and His followers.  The lives of demarcation are being clearly defined.  As the Church grows ever closer to the image and likeness of Christ - the world grows worse and worse.

God calls His people to separate while the world suggest unity, but not unity in Christ, unity apart from Christ.

The world says, “All paths lead to God”, but Jesus says, “No man cometh unto the Father but by Me”.  The world has made its choice, and that is to deny the Son of God.  And we too have a choice, and that must be to receive the Son of God.
