There is no doubt that Christ came back to John the Second Time spiritually in the first century:<br /><br />John 21: 20-24: "Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following; which also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee? Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do? Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me. Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true."<br /><br />Preterists and non-preterists seem to think that Jesus will come back and every Christian will see Him with their physical eyes. That's crazy! Just look at all of the carnal, shallow, milk bottle Christians out there that haven't gone through any purification. <br /><br />The Lord will come back for a church without spot or wrinkle--purified of demons/sin. The Lord has been coming back to individual believers for the past two thousand years who have been purified of sin (through tribulation).Tim Sheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07931913325290043598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9129556058615289740.post-9879474391088636852012-05-21T12:58:58.935-06:002012-05-21T12:58:58.935-06:00Revelation 3: 5-6: "He that overcometh, the ...Revelation 3: 5-6: "He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches."<br /><br />Sarah: If you look at Revelation Chapter 3, the Scripture is talking about people who are overcoming. After we have overcome the sins in our bodies, then we become pure--this is something that we do AFTER we are saved. Works do not effect salvation, but good works do effect purification. Shallow, carnal Christians think that salvation is instant--this is not true, because we work out our salvation with fear and trembling. (Justification is instant) "Draw nigh to me and I will draw nigh to you."<br /><br />I believe there is a Scripture in the Book of Revelation where the Lord rides on a white horse. What does this mean? White means purity and the horse means power.<br /><br />After the Lord came to me a second time, my life in Christ has been in the power of the Holy Ghost and there is much more purity in my life. And, of course, the baptism of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues has added to this Holy Ghost power and fire.<br /><br />The Holy Ghost gives us power in our witness; dying to self gives us depth and purity.Tim Sheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07931913325290043598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9129556058615289740.post-764949551865326312012-05-21T12:38:20.708-06:002012-05-21T12:38:20.708-06:00Sarah: I think I know what preterism is, but I am...Sarah: I think I know what preterism is, but I am not a preterist.<br /><br />When a blood-washed believer goes through a time of purificatin (tribulation), then the Lord comes to that believer a second time, because that believer is pure enough for the Lord (Lordship, not salvation) to reside in him. Salvation and Lordship are two different things.<br /><br />I asked Christ into my life in 1982 and then I went through a 3 to 4-year time of great tribulation. The Lord came to me a second time in September of 1986 (the Presence of God has been permanent in my life; before September 1986, the Presence of God would come and go). I was baptized with the evidence of speaking in tongues in September of 1988.<br /><br />We know that the physical in the Old Testament is a foreshadowing of the spiritual in the New Testament. Shallow, carnal Christians can only think in physical terms and not spiritual terms--because, of course, they are not spiritual. The Second Coming is spiritual, rapture is spiritual, we perceive the Lord's voice in our spirit--though the Lord can speak to us in an audible voice.<br /><br />Speaking of rapture. Rapture is when the Lord glorifies your body. You can also call this the Presence of God becoming very strong or the Holy Ghost falls heavy on you. When this rapture takes place in me, this usually means that the Lord is removing a Satanic stronghold in me or in somebody or someplace else. A day before Saddam Hussein was captured, I was really burning up in the Holy Ghost--I believe other believers were burning up in the Holy Ghost when this Satanic stronghold (Saddam Hussein) was removed.<br /><br />I have been living in New Jerusalem for many years now.

I made it from Kooskia, Idaho to Pilot Rock, Oregon (just south of Pendleton) that same day. I camped out that night and then got rides all the way through John Day and Burns to Lakeview. The next day I got a ride with a guy who was friends with my friends in Northern California. He phoned them and I spoke with Susie and she and John were going to a wedding near Sacramento. He drove me to their place and bought the last copy of my book (High Plains Drifter) that Susie had. I was able to see them before they left for a couple of days. Perfect timing.<br /><br />The whole trip from Wyoming to California went very fast and was very Providential. I am not sure how long I will be here. <br /><br />I hope your college classes are going well. Take care and study hard.Tim Sheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07931913325290043598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9129556058615289740.post-38960341508526259632011-09-26T19:55:54.618-06:002011-09-26T19:55:54.618-06:00Hello, just wanted to know how you are doing and t...Hello, just wanted to know how you are doing and that you are keeping warm and safe.

The Second Coming has been happening to purified vessels for the past two thousand years.<br /><br />When the Scriptures says that He will come with clouds, this means that He will be hidden--The Second Coming will not be observed with carnal, physical eyes. Spiritual eyes will be able to observe The Second Coming.

The Philistines also came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim. And David enquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up to the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the LORD said unto David, Go up: for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into thine hand. And David came to Baal-perazim, and David smote them there, and said, The LORD hath broken forth upon mine enemies before me, as the breach of waters. Therefore he called the name of that place Baal-perazim. And there they left their images, and David and his men burned them."<br /><br />"Baal-perazim" means "the lord who breaks out".Tim Sheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07931913325290043598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9129556058615289740.post-35414795069410695312011-02-28T08:07:51.938-07:002011-02-28T08:07:51.938-07:00Thank you for your comment, Stan.

It is very rare for me to be off the road for a whole week--sounds like a vacation.<br /><br />I hope things are going well with you at school. About a week ago, I had a pleasant surprise. I hitchhiked from Jackson to Riverton, Wyoming and stopped at my friend's place and turned on the TV. I saw this interview on C-Span: this editor from The Washington Post was interviewing Jane Smiley; she was my professor for three days back in 1989. Dr. Smiley taught creative writing at Iowa State University; she was awarded a Pulitzer Prize in 1992 for her novel "A Thousand Acres"--it was later made into a movie. If you want to read more, go to my post entitled "The Computer and Iowa State University."<br /><br />I am guessing I will hit the road in a few days. Take care.Tim Sheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07931913325290043598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9129556058615289740.post-30125000190801862072011-02-28T05:10:19.722-07:002011-02-28T05:10:19.722-07:00I like this blog.
