No Secret Coming — But a Very Public One!
Dear Friends,
The Bible teaches not of a secret coming, but of a very powerful public coming of The LORD, when He gathers His Elect from the four corners of the earth and sups with them on the Mount of The LORD.
It will not be a secret coming but a very awesome one — after the sun will be darkened, the moon will be turned red as blood, and the stars of heaven will fall at the sound of the great and final trumpet.
“Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the Tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.” Mathew 24:29-31 NKJV
After these celestial events, He will appear for the entire world to see Him, when the dead will be raised and those alive shall be changed into new bodies in the twinkling of an eye.
“Behold, I tell 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 trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” 1 Corinthians 15:51-52 NKJV.
He shall be seen by those that will be elected as His bride from all over the earth, who have survived the awful days of the great tribulation, because He will have shortened those days for the elects’ sake.
“And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened.” Mathew 24:22 NKJV.
But He will also be seen by all the tribes of the earth — who shall be terrified at the sight of His coming, calling on the rocks to fall on them and hide them from the magnitude of His wrath! And this aspect of The LORD’s coming is seldom heard.
“And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, and said to the mountains and rocks; ’Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?’” Revelation 6:15-17 NKJV.
Thus we see from these powerful biblical verses that the saints are still on earth at the time of the terrible days of the tribulation. And following these days, the Son of God will appear in great power and glory — not in a secret way but in an awesome and public way — like lightning which flashes from east to west!
“Therefore if they say to you, ‘Look, He is in the desert!’ do not go out; or ‘Look, He is in the inner rooms!’ do not believe it. For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered together.” Mathew 24:26-28 NKJV
May we like Job, during these difficult and trying end times, remain faithful to Him who has purchased us with His precious Blood to be His Bride and thus endure to the very end!

Yes and Amen! It is so clear that I can’t believe that many learned men of God can’t see it. God’s word is true and clear and will happen as it is declared. Amen!
The Lord will only appear,reveal and disclose Himself to those who obey Him and love Him:
“The Spirit of Truth which whome the world cannot receive because it seeth him not John 14:17
Lord, how it is that you will manifest yourself (only) unto us and NOT unto the world? John 14:22
Jesus answered and said, Me and My Father comes only to him who loves Me and keeps my Words John 14:23
Matth. 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart for (only) they shall see God.
The Lord is here right now, through those who speak what they hear the Father say, still not many “see” this and many do not know that THIS is the same as the rising from the “spiritually dead”, the very transfer from “the law of of sin and death” into the “law of the Spirit of the Life in Christ Jesus”.
IIF you then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above ( that which is separated from the law of sin and death) Col.3:1
Matth, 24:36-39 days it shall be as in the days of Noe, only Noe knew God and the others did not knew until the flood took them away.
You will be deceived if you’re waiting for a visible appearance. The “lightning” that goes out from east to west is the same as “knowledge” inside His disciples.
Acts 1:9 Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight.
1:10 And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel,
1:11 who also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.”
Yes, why do you gazin up into heaven when He will come “the same manner as He went into heaven”?
How did He leave?
He did leave from the death on the cross doing the Father’s Will until the death of His ownwill .
That is why it is meaningsless to “gazing up into the heaven”
“At that day ye SHALL know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you John14:20
“The Kingdom of God cometh NOT with observation, neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the Kingdom of God is (not visible but) within you. Luke 17:20-21
