“Occupy until”
Messiah comes back
Gen.8
[22] While the earth remains, seed time and
harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not
cease.
Luke 19
[10] For the Son of
man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
[11] And as they heard
these things, he added and spoke a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem,
and because they yought that the kingdom of God
should immediately appear.
[12] He said
therefore, A
certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and
to return.
[13] And he called
his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.
[14] But his
citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We
will not have this man to reign over us.
[15] And it came to
pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom,
then he commanded these servants to be
called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much
every man had gained by trading.
[16] Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound had
gained ten pounds.
[17] And he said
unto him, Well, you good servant: because you hast been faithful in a very
little, have you authority over ten cities.
[18] And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound had
gained five pounds.
[19] And he said
likewise to him, Be you also over five cities.
[20] And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy
pound, which I have kept laid up in a
napkin:
[21] For I feared
thee, because you art an austere man: you take up
that you layed
not down, and reapest that you didst not sow.
[22] And he said unto him, Out of thine
own mouth will I judge thee, you wicked servant.
You knew that I was
an austere man, taking up that I laid not down,
and reaping that I did not sow:
[23] Wherefore then
gave not you my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required
mine own with usury?
[24] And he said
unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that had
ten pounds.
[25] (And they said
unto him, Lord, he had ten pounds.)
[26] For I say unto
you,
That unto every one
which had shall be given; and from him that had not, even that he had shall be
taken away from him.
[27] But those mine
enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
The return of Yeshua in the
future
Here are a few more verses:
Paul to the Gentiles, nations
1 Thes.1
[9] For they
themselves show of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how you
turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God;
[10] …to wait for the Fathers’s Son from
heaven, whom the Father raised from the dead, even Yeshua,
which delivered us from the wrath to come.
Matt.16
[28] Verily I say
unto you, There
be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, until they see the
Son of man coming in his kingdom.
Matt.24
[1] And Yeshua went
out, and departed from the temple:
and his disciples came to him for
to show him the buildings of the temple.
[2] And Yeshua said
unto them, See you not all these things?
verily I say unto
you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not
be thrown down.
[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 your coming, and of
the end of the world?
[4] And Yeshua answered
and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
[5] For many shall
come in my name, saying, I am Messiah; and shall deceive many.
[6] And you shall
hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that you be not troubled: for all these
things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
[7] For nation
shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be
famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
[8] All
these are the beginning of sorrows.
[9] Then shall they
deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and you shall be hated of
all nations for my name's sake.
[10] And then shall
many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
[11] And many false
prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
[12] And because
iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
[13] But he that
shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
[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.
[15] When you
therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the
prophet, stand(ing) in the holy place, (the 3rd Temple)
(whoso reads, let him understand:)
[16] Then let them
which be
in Judaea flee into the mountains:
[17] Let him which
is on the housetop not come down to take anything out of his house:
[18] Neither let
him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
[19] And woe
unto them that are with child,
and to
them that give suck in those days!
[20] But pray
you that your flight be not in
the winter, neither on the Sabbath day:
[21] For then shall
be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this
time, no, nor ever shall be.
[22] And except
those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the
elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
[23] Then if any
man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Messiah, or there; believe it not.
[24] For there
shall arise false Messiah, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and
wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
[25] Behold, I have
told you before.
[26] Wherefore if
they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he
is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
[27] For as the
lightning comes out of the east, and shins even unto the west; so shall also
the coming of the Son of man be.
[28] For where ever
the carcass is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
[29] Immediately
after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon
shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers
of the heavens shall be shaken:
[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.
[31] And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they
shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to
the other.
[32] Now learn
a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and puts forth
leaves, you know that summer is nigh:
[33] So likewise
you, when you shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the
doors.
[34] Verily I say
unto you, this generation shall not pass, till all these
things be fulfilled.
[35] Heaven and
earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
[36] But of
that day and hour knows no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father
only.
[37] But as
the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
[38] For as in the
days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and
giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark,
[39] And knew not
until the flood came, and took them all away; so
shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
[40] Then shall two
be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
[41] Two women
shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
[42] Watch
therefore: for you know not what hour your Lord doth come.
[43] But know this
that if the good man of the house had known in what watch the thief would come,
he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
[44] Therefore be
you also ready: for in such an hour as you think not the Son of man
comes.
[45] Who then is a
faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to
give them meat in due season?
[46] Blessed is
that servant, whom his lord when he comes shall find so doing.
[47] Verily I say
unto you, That
he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
[48]
But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My
lord delays his coming;
[49] And shall
begin to smite his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
[50] The lord of
that servant shall come in a day when he looks not for him, and in an hour that
he is not aware of,
[51] And shall cut
him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be
weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Matt.26
[64] Yeshua said
unto him, you have said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall you see the Son of man sitting on the right
hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
Mark 14
[61] …. Again the
high priest asked him, and said unto him, Are you the Messiah, the
Son of the Blessed?
[62] And Yeshua said, I
am (the Messiah): and you shall see the
Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the
clouds of heaven.
1 Cor.1
[4] I thank my God
always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Yeshua the
Messiah;
[5] That in
everything you are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;
[6] Even as the
testimony of Messiah was confirmed in you:
[7] So that you
come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Yeshua the
Messiah:
[8] Who shall also
confirm you unto the end, that you may be blameless in the day of our
Lord Yeshua the
Messiah.
1 Thes.3
[11] Now God
himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you.
[12] And the Lord
make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men,
even as we do toward you:
[13] To the end he
may establish your hearts unblameable in
holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Yeshua the
Messiah with all his saints.
1 Thes.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 shall not prevent, go before them
which are asleep.
[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 Messiah shall rise first:
[17] 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.
[18] Wherefore
comfort one another with these words.
1 Thes.5
[23] … 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 Yeshua the
Messiah.
2 Thes.2
[1] Now we beseech
you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Yeshua the
Messiah, and by our gathering together unto him,
[2] That you be not
soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by
letter as from us, as that the day of Messiah is at hand.
[3] Let no man
deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a
falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
[4] Who opposes and
exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he
as God sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.
[5] Remember you
not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
[6] And now you
know what withholds that he might be revealed in his time.
[7] For the mystery
of iniquity doth already work: only he who now lets will
let, until he be taken out of the way.
[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:
[9] Even him, whose
coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
[10] And with all
deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received
not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
[11] And for this
cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
[12] That they all
might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
[13] But we are
bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord,
because God hath from the
beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and
belief of the truth:
[14] Whereunto he
called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Yeshua the
Messiah.
[15] Therefore,
brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which you have been taught,
whether by word, or our epistle.
[16] Now our
Lord Yeshua the
Messiah himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given
us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,
[17] Comfort your
hearts, and establish you in every good word and work.
Jas.5
[7] Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of
the Lord.
Behold, the
husbandman waits for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience
for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.
[8] Be you also
patient; establish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draws nigh.
2 Pet.3
[1] This second
epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds
by way of remembrance:
[2] That you may be
mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the
commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Savior:
[3] Knowing this
first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own
lusts,
[4] And
saying, where is the promise of his coming?
for since the fathers fell asleep,
all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
[5] For this they
willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and
the earth standing out of the water and (then) in the water:
[6] Whereby the
world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
[7] But the
heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are
kept in store, reserved unto fire against
the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
[8] But, beloved,
be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand
years, and a thousand years as one day.
[9] The Lord is not
slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering
to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to
repentance.
[10] But the
day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the
which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise,
and the elements shall melt with fervent
heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
[11] Seeing then
that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to
be in all holy conversation and godliness,
[12] Looking
for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on
fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
[13] Nevertheless
we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein
dwells righteousness.
[14] Wherefore,
beloved, seeing that you look for such things, be diligent that you may be
found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
[15] And account
that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother
Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
[16] As also in all
his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard
to be understood,
which they that are
unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their
own destruction.
[17] You therefore, beloved, seeing you know these things before,
beware lest you also,
being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness.
[18] But grow in
grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Yeshua the
Messiah.
To Him be glory
both now and forever. Amen.
In
closing for today:
As I
said last week, be Holy in life: word, conversation, thought, in works,
actions, appearance, sight etc…
One day
we will meet God
Praise
