The Grands Letter (John/GLJ)
Gene L. Jeffries, Th.D. on July 18, 2023 5:58 am (CST)Dear Grands,
John 14:1-12, “Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me.
2 “In My Father’s house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you.
3 “If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also.
4 “And you know the way where I am going.”
5 Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, how do we know the way?”
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.
7 “If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you know Him, and have seen Him.”
8 Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.”
9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, ‘Show us the Father ‘?
10 “Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on My own initiative, but the Father abiding in Me does His works.
11 “Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me; otherwise believe because of the works themselves.
12 “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father.”
Conservative theologians are in solid agreement that the next spectacular event
that will come to pass is the Rapture of the Church. Absolutely nothing stands
between where we are now and the Rapture. There are several exciting events
that will emerge following the Rapture, but nothing appears on the Biblical agenda
between today and the Rapture!
With that in mind, I have elected to share a small schematic below that will give you
an introduction that many theologians believe it will all take place. Just bear in mind
that the LORD alone knows exactly how it will all fall out. Schematics, like the one
below, go back many (sometimes hundreds of) years as they follow the Scriptures.
One exciting factor that comes before the Rapture is that the Father has given us the
opportunity to share the LORD Jesus with others. You can easily forward these
GRANDS LETTERS to others, as the LORD leads you. It will be a “wake-up!” call to
some; to others, it will be something new. We all just need to be ready because when
the Rapture takes place, it will be too late for those who have not trusted Jesus Christ.
Prayer and witnessing must be our theme! May God bless you abundantly!
Heartily in Christ Jesus,
(Dado III)
