Msg #1141 Apocalyptic Knot
What The Bible Says

Good Samaritan's Penny Pulpit by Pastor Ed Rice



"But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house
of the LORD shall be established... and it shall be exalted above the hills,
and many nations shall come and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain
of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us his
ways, and we will walk in his paths; for the law shall go forth of Zion, and
the word of the LORD from Jerusalem." Catholic and Reformed Theologians
allegorize away God's promises and call them apocalyptic fiction. They are
a-millennial, post millennial, and wrong. This promise, recorded in Micah is
typical of prophets foretelling a kingdom age where God's Only Begotten Son
will rule the world from His Holy Hill of Zion. (Psalm2) In the Revelation
of Jesus Christ each Church's message concludes with "he that hath an ear,
let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the Churches." Those with no ears
call this 'Apocalyptic Literature' which needs to be allegorized until there
is no literal 1000 year reign of Christ. Here, 'believing is seeing' as
Jesus said when teaching the crowds in parables. When you allegorize out the
words of this prophecy you loose the blessing promised to those who keep
them. Ears that hear know that the trumpet saying, "Come up hither" in
Revelation4 is the same one that calls the saints to be 'caught up' in 1Thes
4. One not believing the pre-tribulation rapture of the church, has no ears
and will disbelieve other things too. Study your inerrant, infallible,
inspired Holy Bible like a workman, (with both ears), that needeth not be
ashamed and never classify Holy Inspired Scripture as just apocalyptic
fiction. The Lord is soon returning.
