the 3 times salvation by Jesus will be offered!
This is a chapter name in my book "There's Just a Lot to Say!" It is named this because man has been deceived for a long time about how things are going to unfold as time goes on.
First of all, pay attention to this; how many times was Jesus tempted? How many times was Peter tempted? How many times did Jesus ask Peter if he loved him at the end in the book of John? Now ask yourself, why did these happen three times and not more or less? Why three?
Because, contrary to what man has been taught, life is not over and off to Judgment Day when you die. Man will be given an opportunity for salvation on three different occasions. Once is now when you are alive. If you accept your fate in this life, Jesus has promised to resurrect the faithful back to life so that they can live with him during the millennium.
"Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years." Rev 20:6
This is the first resurrection for the ones who were lucky enough to receive salvation on the first offer. "But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection." Rev 20:5
After the millennium, the rest of the dead will be raised back to life to live again, like those who lived during the millennium were. They will be offered salvation at that time again but many will refuse it again and seek to destroy Jesus.
"Now when the thousand years have expired, Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea." Rev 20:7-8
After this has happened, many will be killed by the hand of God this time. "They went up on the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city. And fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them." Rev 20:9
Then, just before the Day of Judgment, those who were killed during this war will be offered salvation for the third and final time. "The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works." Rev 20:13
So you see, our life and the problems we have fighting against the devil will go on again after the millennium. Our purpose to teach and tell others what is going on will also go on after the millennium. Death will not be swallowed up until after this war is over either.
How many times have we heard preachers say that death will be swallowed up after this life? It will not. Death is not swallowed up until after the last war, other wise, no one would die by the hand God when he causes fire to come down from heaven.
Man will be offered salvation three times and not the one time like is being taught. This teaching is of the Antichrist spirits who do not want man to have any hope of ever living again when they die.
Jesus was tempted three times because of these three events. Peter was also tempted three times because he is the corner stone of having faith in Jesus. He was the first chosen to have faith in him and that is what makes him the corner stone. That is why Jesus asked him three times if he loved him, it was to prove that once a man saw Jesus for what he was, that no one would deny him again.
So, now do you understand what this means? "And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath." Mat 24:20
It is the three times that man will be offered salvation. Now, the winter time, and on the Sabbath, which is the Day of Judgment.
