Because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation. (15)
Acts part 3.
Gospel goes out to the world
We like to think this happened 2,000 years ago, but if you read the gospels Luke charges us to go out into the world, Mark says the gospel will be published in all the world and Matthew says it will be preached in all the world. Yes, we have gone into the world to preach the gospel but there are still many countries where the gospel cannot be published and definitely cannot be preached.
7:3 And said unto him, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall shew thee.
The US will be destroyed, tens of millions will be killed and millions more will become refugees or prisoners of war. This is of the Lord, He is sending you out of the US to the rest of the world.
7:6 And God spake on this wise, That his seed should sojourn in a strange land; and that they should bring them into bondage, and entreat them evil four hundred years. 7 And the nation to whom they shall be in bondage will I judge, said God: and after that shall they come forth, and serve me in this place.
This has happened numerous times in the Bible's history or in church history. The Lord uses these events to send the gospel out to the rest of the world.
7:27 But he that did his neighbour wrong thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us? 28 Wilt thou kill me, as thou diddest the Egyptian yesterday?
Let's be real, many in America have thrust the gospel away from them. That is one side, the other side is many Christians like Moses, need to be trained how to fight the real spiritual warfare. The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, they are not fleshly. Too many Christians, like Moses, think they are and that is what some of these dominion theologies are pushing, setting up political parties to fight a spiritual battle, it cannot happen. The honor of fighting Satan is only given to the Lord's saints. This will be the problem during the tribulation, many will thrust away the gospel to choose the Antichrist.
7:32 Saying, I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Then Moses trembled, and durst not behold. 33 Then said the Lord to him, Put off thy shoes from thy feet: for the place where thou standest is holy ground. 34 I have seen, I have seen the affliction of my people which is in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning, and am come down to deliver them. And now come, I will send thee into Egypt. 35 This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge? the same did God send to be a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel which appeared to him in the bush.
Deliverance comes from the God of resurrection, not from the flesh, not from people with good ideas. This is the gospel message that will need to be sent to the whole earth. The whole world lies in the evil one, that means there are many, many people who are groaning under his oppressive regime. Preach the gospel to them.
7:37 This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear.
Tell the world that Jesus is Lord, He is the real Messiah, the Antichrist is a counterfeit.
7:40 Saying unto Aaron, Make us gods to go before us: for as for this Moses, which brought us out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.
This is what happened to the apostasy, this is why so many Christians were left behind, don't make the same mistake again.
7: 42 Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices by the space of forty years in the wilderness? 43 Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.
This is how you know who the Antichrist and the False prophet are, they are taking up the tabernacle of Molosh and the star of their god Remphan.
7:49 Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest? 50 Hath not my hand made all these things?
The Lord builds us into His dwelling place. That is the difference. Antichrist will make you build him a dwelling place. Jesus throne is in heaven, the Antichrist throne is on earth.
