The Hidden Word
Dani 12:8-10 (KJS) And I heard, but I understood not: then said I,
O my Lord, what [shall be] the end of these [things]?
9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words [are] closed up and
sealed till the time of the end.
10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do
wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall
understand.
I. God Has Kept Some Revelations Of What He Is Going To Do In The Last
Days, Sealed Up, Until A Certain Time.
- If what God is going to reveal has already been written, then how is He
going to keep it sealed, or hidden?
- By hiding it as a pattern, and not coming right out with what He is doing.
- If this is the time of the end, then it is time for the hidden word to be
revealed.
Amos 3:7 (KJS) Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he
revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.
II. Can We Know When It Is The End Of Time?
Hebr 10:23-25 (KJS) Let us hold fast the profession of [our] faith
without wavering; (for he [is] faithful that promised;)
24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
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.
1The 4:16-5:4 (KJS) 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:
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.
5:1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write
unto you.
2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a
thief in the night.
3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh
upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you
as a thief.
- If we are to see the "The day approaching", then we must have the
"Hidden Word" revealed.
III. God Has Declared The End From The Beginning.
Isai 46:9-10 (KJS) Remember the former things of old: for I [am]
God, and [there is] none else; [I am] God, and [there is] none like me,
10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times [the
things] that are not [yet] done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do
all my pleasure:
- The beginning is written in the book of Genesis.
- We can see that God's work was finished in six days, then He rested for a
day.
B. 2Pet 3:8 (KJS) 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.
- God gives us a hidden Word from the beginning, that His work will be
finished in six thousand years, then He will rest for a thousand years.
- From Adam to Abraham was Two thousand years.
- From Adam to Jesus was Four thousand years.
- From Adam till now, is Six thousand years, or Six days.
IV. The Fourth Day.
- When God said " Let there be light" on the First day, and then
divided the light from the darkness, Why didn't He make the Sun and the Moon
then?
- God wanted us to see that Jesus, the "Light of the world" would
come on the fourth day.
- God had a legal right to send Jesus anytime after Abraham was willing to
offer his son Isaac, but He waited two thousand years before coming to earth.
- We can see this in (John 11), when Jesus waited two days after the death of
Lazarus before going to him.
- God waited until mankind had been dead in sin for a total of four thousand
years before sending Jesus.
- Jesus waited until Lazarus had been dead four days before coming to him.
V. Jesus Will Come Back Sometime On The Sixth Day.
- On Gods calendar, we are on the sixth day, or close to it, right now.
- Are you ready?
