50When Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, He yielded up His spirit. 51At that moment the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth quaked and the rocks were split. 52The tombs broke open, and the bodies of many saints who had fallen asleep were raised. 53After Jesus’ resurrection, when they had come out of the tombs, they entered the holy city and appeared to many people. Matthew 27:50-53

28Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming when all who are in their graves will hear His voice 29and come out—those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.
John 5:28-29

“The kingdom of God will not come with observable signs.
Luke 17:20

For the Son of Man will come in His Father’s glory with His angels, and then He will repay each one according to what he has done.
Matthew 16:27

All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one coming to Me, I shall not cast out.
John 6:37

Nor will people say, ‘Look, here it is,’ or ‘There it is.’ For you see, the kingdom of God is in your midst.”
Luke 17:21

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1

So the Word became human and made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen his glory, the glory of the Father’s one and only Son. John 1:14


He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. The one who overcomes will not be harmed by the second death. Rev 2:11

“so Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many;( lamb )

and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.”( lion )
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭9:28‬ ‭

“And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven,

shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.”
‭‭Acts‬ ‭1:10-11‬ ‭

“For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.”
‭‭Titus‬ ‭2:11-15‬ ‭

“For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God:

and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”
‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭4:16-17‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“and to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; when he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe in that day.”
‭‭2 Thessalonians‬ ‭1:7-10‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Each coming of Jesus brought a resurrection of those who waited for him those of the ot

“Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.”
‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭37:12‬ ‭KJV

were raised up according to the Old Testament promise of the Messiahs arrival on earth

“and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, and came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭27:52-53‬ ‭KJV‬‬

‬‬the new testement also has a promise of resurrection as you see in the above verses

“But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come? ….

it is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body.

There is a natural body,

and there is a spiritual body.”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭15:35, 44‬ ‭KJV‬‬


“in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭15:52‬ ‭KJV‬‬

each testement holds its own promises and promised lands and is fulfilled according to each coming of Jesus the ot based upon his first coming born as a son of man and the new based on his return to earth as king of kings and lord of lords

All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11:27-30‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God.

Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father,

cometh unto me.”
‭‭John‬ ‭6:45‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, ( earths mortality always waiting for death ) upon them hath the light shined.

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called

Wonderful, Counsellor,

The mighty God,

The everlasting Father,

The Prince of Peace. ( his name is Jesus )

Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever.

The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭9:2, 6-7‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world. I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.

Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.

I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him. They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.

Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him,

If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;

and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
‭‭John‬ ‭8:12, 23-27, 31-32‬ ‭

op: am I awaiting for the saints to awaken and the second coming?

Precious friends, no, I am not awaiting for the Jewish saints of Israel
and their prophesied "Second Coming Of Christ."

Rightly Divided (2 Timothy 2:15) From “Things That Differ!” (online):

I am waiting for The Grace / Mystery (Romans - Philemon) which teaches:

Blessed Hope, "looking, watching, and patiently waiting For
The LORD Jesus Christ!"
(2 Thessalonians 2:1; Romans 8:18-19; Romans 8:23; Romans 8:25;
1 Corinthians 1:7; Ephesians 6:12-18; Philippians 3:20; Colossians 4:1-3;
1 Thessalonians 1:10; 1 Thessalonians 5:5-11; Titus 2:13)

Culminating in: God's Great GRACE Departure! (aka pre-trib rapture)

Amen.

Acts 1:7; Mark 13:32
:)
I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world:

again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.”
‭‭John‬ ‭16:28‬ ‭


“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14:6-10‬ ‭

“I and my Father are one.”
‭‭John‬ ‭10:30‬ ‭KJV‬‬


I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.”
‭‭John‬ ‭17:4-5‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.”
‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭3:16‬ ‭

Wow this looks like an ancient Egyptian Picasso 💕
I have updated it a bit from before, and yeah, whoever did that figure/face was definitely copying
Picasso's style; it was the first panel I was able to design following my first surgery almost four years
ago, which really knocked the stuffing out of me, ooof! I did try to discover who dunnit, and honestly
as little energy as I had at the time, I spent hours and hours over a couple of days or more looking
through thousands upon thousands of his own art works to see if it was his, and then brother
@posthuman discovered the artist's name, but I cannot remember it, just that it was a woman...

Prayers indeed sister lol gotta love the phrase “ knocked the stuffing outta me !!”

my daddy used to threaten to “knock knots on my head lol “ he of course never got around to actually doing it but I find a lot of humor in it these days
