The True Meaning of the "Third
Day"
Revealed on August 22, 2005
The third
day of Jesus' return is long overdue. Let us inquire: what is the real meaning
of the "third day," not from the apostles, but from the prophets. The
apostles said that Jesus has risen on the third day, but let us read about what
Jesus said before regarding "the three days"…
Jesus took the Twelve aside and told them, "We are going up to
Jerusalem,
and everything that is written by the prophets about the Son of
Man will be fulfilled.
He will be handed over to the Gentiles. They will mock him, insult
him, spit on him,
flog him and kill him.
Luke 18:31-32 (NIV)
Jesus
mentioned the “son of Man” - He was to face his punishment and...
On the third day he will rise again."
Luke 18:33 (NIV)
Did the
apostles understand the meaning of what he said?
The disciples did not understand any of this. Its meaning was
hidden from them,
and they did not know what he was talking about.
Luke 18:34 (NIV)
Again, our Maestro Evangelista will explain the "three days" or
"the third day" Jesus talked about; saying, we should only use our wisdom
and understanding…
What Jesus meant was that it is not literally "three days," but…
For a thousand years in your sight
are like a day that has just gone by,
or like a watch in the night.
Psalm 90:4 (NIV)
A thousand
years to man is a day to God, is it true?
But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day
is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.
2 Peter 3:8 (NIV)
Jesus was
actually saying that the "third day" will be on the third millennia or
after 2000 years, our present time. The “Son of Man” that Jesus was
referring to is the man who will come in his name, the “angel” in
Revelation 22:16!
Jesus knew about this prophecy but when he committed sin, he was not allowed
to explain these things anymore. Another is to come to explain all about the
things he has said and done.
If Jesus is
not to return, who will?
"I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the
churches.
I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning
Star."
Revelation 22:16 (NIV)
Jesus says,
his "angel" is the one to come. The "angel" will explain clearly
that Jesus is only a "descendant of David" and that he is also the
"bright morning star."
THE THIRD DAY
Regarding the "third day" which Jesus spoke, is it really prophesied?
Maestro Evangelista will reveal to us the meaning:
"Come, let us return to the LORD.
He has torn us to pieces
but he will heal us;
he has injured us
but he will bind up our wounds.
Hosea 6:1 (NIV)
This is what God is doing right now.
After two days he will revive us;
on the third day he will restore us,
that we may live in his presence.
Hosea 6:2 (NIV)
"two days he
will revive us" – the last two thousand years.
"on the third
day he will restore us"
- this is our time; we are in the first years of the third
millennium - the third day. God’s people will be known in this time.
"that we may live in his presence" - this is the time God's presence will
be with man.
Let us acknowledge the LORD;
let us press on to acknowledge him.
As surely as the sun rises,
he will appear;
he will come to us like the winter rains,
like the spring rains that water the earth."
Hosea 6:3 (NIV)
"Let us
acknowledge the LORD" - we have to know God and call on His Name, and He will come.
"What can I do with you, Ephraim?
What can I do with you, Judah?
Your love is like the morning mist,
like the early dew that disappears.
Hosea 6:4 (NIV)
"Ephraim”
and “Judah" – Who were they? Maestro Evangelista will explain it to us
later.
"like the morning mist" - Because we have not put
our faith in God, we always turn away from Him.
Therefore I cut you in pieces with my prophets,
I killed you with the words of my mouth;
my judgments flashed like lightning upon you.
Hosea 6:5 (NIV)
Maestro Evangelista says, it is by our reading of the prophets that we have
discovered that the religions do not belong to God and that their teachings are
not of God's.
What can we
give to God?
For I desire mercy, not sacrifice,
and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings.
Hosea 6:6 (NIV)
Call on His
Name, for God really has a Name. God doesn't need offerings. He created
everything, what can we give to Him in return? Maestro Eraño M.
Evangelista says:
we should praise and thank God and call on His Name and obey His commandments,
for us to be blessed.
We are
already in the "third day!"
What did
Solomon say about the angel? What is the work of the angel for God? Who is he?
"As for the foreigner who does not belong to your people Israel
but has come from a distant land because of your name -
1 Kings 8:41 (NIV)
This is the
angel that will come; he will no longer come from the people of Israel, and will
come from a far country…
for men will hear of your great name and your mighty hand and
your outstretched arm - when he comes and prays toward this
temple,
1 Kings 8:42 (NIV)
The "angel" of Jesus,
who is also the "foreigner" of God, will come and will introduce to all men the
Name of God…
then hear from heaven, your dwelling place, and do whatever the
foreigner asks of you, so that all the peoples of the earth may know your name
and fear you, as do your own people Israel, and may know that this house I have
built bears your Name.
1 Kings 8:43 (NIV)
Who is the "foreigner" that will introduce the Name of God to all men?
Maestro Evangelista has answered the question given earlier. Now the next
question is, which we know you are eager to learn:
What is the Name of God? But first, let us...
