A. To Harvest the Crop of Humanity
Matthew Chapter 13:
(V1) "The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side." (V2) "And great multitudes were gathered together unto Him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitudes stood on the shore." (See Genesis 49:10) "The sceptre shall not depart from Judah nor a lawgiver between his feet, until Shiloh (Jesus) come; and unto Him shall the gathering of the people be." (See Luke 8:4) "And when much people were gathered together, and were come to Him (Jesus) out of every city, he spake by a parable." (See Mark 4:1) "And He began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto Him a great multitude, so that He entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land."
Not like the clergymen of today where the congregations need to carry along a book containing twenty-six different translations of the bible, a dictionary, and a multi-volume encyclopedia to understand them. Week after week they proudly put their education on display while trying to build a sermon to preach the simple words of the Carpenter from Nazareth!
B. To Prove the Falseness of Satan's Claim That he Can Bring in World Peace
Isaiah 14:12-14
In these verses we discover the five "I Wills of Satan" that brought him down.
(V12) "How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!" (V13) "For thou hast said in thine heart,
1. "I will ascend into heaven"
2. "I will exalt my throne above the stars of God"
3. "I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north"
4. "I will ascend above the heights of the clouds"
5. "I will be like the most High
C. To Prepare a Great Martyred Multitude for Heaven
Rev. 7:9,13,14
(V9) "After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes and palms in their hands." When asked who was that multitude one of the elders answered, (V13) "What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?" (V14) "And I said unto Him, Sir, thou knowest. And He said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb."
D. To Prepare a Great Living Multitude for the Millennium
Matthew 25: 32-34:
(V32) "And before Him shall be gathered all nations: and He shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: (V33) "And He shall set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. (V34) "Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father inherit the kingdon prepared for you from the foundation of the world."
E. To Punish the Gentiles
Romans 1:18
"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who hold the truth in unrighteousness;" 2 Thess. 2:11-12 (V11) "And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:" (V12) "That they all might be damned who believe not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness." Rev. 19:15 "And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and He shall rule them with a rod of iron: and He treadeth the windpress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God."
F. To Purge Israel
Ezekiel 20:37
"And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant:" (V38) "And I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against me. I will bring them forth out of the country where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye shall know that I am the Lord. Zech. 13:8,9 (V8) "And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein." (V9) "And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God."
G. To Purify All Nature
Romans 8:18-23
(V18) "For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed to us." (V19) "For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God." (V20) "For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope." (V21) "Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God." (V22) "For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now." (V23) "And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body."
Until He Comes Again,
