Is your faith based on what Jesus did on the cross or on what He do for you now?

Is your faith based on what Jesus did on the cross or on what He do for you now?

• Amo 3:1,2 -> “Hear this word that the LORD has spoken against you, O people of Israel, against the whole family that I brought up out of the land of Egypt: “You only have I known of all the families of the earth; therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.””.

It’s interesting that, during all the Old Testament, the Creator always tried to remember them about the great deliverance that He did for Israel in the land of Egypt. Why did the Creator wish that the Israelites stayed thinking about it? After all, constantly He was working His wonders in all Israel.

Furthermore, what difference would do what the Creator worked in the past very distant (when nobody alive had seen what happened (only heard about it)?

Perhaps you question: “but isn’t it thus in regard to Jesus Christ?”.

No! Although Jesus suffered on the cross nigh two thousand years ago, what makes our faith alive is His communion with us today (Mat 28:20). Although we are enjoined to keep alive what Jesus did for us on the cross, this only adds up if we stay closing to Him hearing His voice and abiding by it. We aren’t invited to keep in mind only what Jesus did and spoke in the past, but to let Him use us to live His life now (Gal 2:20).

That is to say: the base of our faith is what Jesus made for us, but what keeps our faith alive and growing is our relationship with Him (Rom 10:17).

The only explanation is that the Israelites should recall who they were while the Creator deliver them to their own understanding and force and, thus, they never explored their brethren (after all, in all this book, read from the exploitation of the Israelites against their brothers) and the strangers, neither neglected the holiness and purity of the Creator. Besides, this was an instrument to make the relationship between parents and children stronger. After all, to keep alive the memories of what the Creator did for them in the past demanded many love and trustful. Only thus the children would be able to accept this with something real (instead of a tale).

Although they didn’t have the gift of the Holy Spirit, they should keep alive their faith obeying the commandments of the Old Testament which should hold in their memory the deeds of the Creator in the past. Apart from it, what they could experience of the Creator in the present (beyond His blessings) was His deliverance whey they sinned.

I believe that the Creator allowed the enemies prevail against the Israelites so that they could see His supernatural power acting in the present and they could have a visible manifestation of His presence.

So, have a good day refraining your anger and ruling your spirit so that Jesus can work His miracles in your life:

• Prov 16:32 -> “Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.”.

Jesus went up into heaven for Me

He said “Come up Here!”

Jesus has a mystery and says "the seven lampstands are the seven churches"​

Rev 1:20 “As for the mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches

Jesus says He "walks among the seven golden lamp stands"​

Rev 2:1“To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: The One who holds the seven stars in His right hand, the One who walks among the seven golden lampstands, says this:

Now Jesus is saying He "has the Seven Spirits of God". We see where they come from and where they go.

Rev 3:1 “To the angel of the church in Sardis write: He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars, says this: ‘I know your deeds, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead.

There is a door open in heaven and a Voice like a trumpet "Says Come Up Here"
"After These Things"

Rev 4:1 After these things I looked, and behold, a door open in heaven, and the first voice which I had heard, like the sound of a trumpet speaking with me, said, "Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after these things.

After a reception of lightning and thunder Seven Lamps of Fire appear in front of the throne; and look what it says they are. Now the lamps that were on earth are before the throne, and do you remember what Jesus said the lamps were: that's right He said they were the churches; But now they are being called the Seven Spirits of God. And it just keeps getting better.

Rev 4:5 Out from the throne come flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder. And there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God

Let's do a little review: Jesus said that the seven golden lamps on earth are the churches. Then after a voice like the sound of trumpet says come up here, and after a reception of lightning and thunder coming out from the throne: now the seven lamps are in heaven, but now they are being called the Seven Spirit of God. So you can look at the previous verse to see that it's all true. But move forward is the greatest thing we could ever see. So now we know the Seven Spirits of God are the Seven Churches.

Rev 5:6 And I saw between the throne (with the four living creatures) and the elders a Lamb standing, as if it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, that were sent out into all the earth.

So there we have it. The greatest thing one could ever imagine: Right there is the Head of the
Lamb are Seven Eyes that are the Seven Spirits of God that were sent to ALL THE EARTH.
So We are on The Throne Just As Jesus Promised We would be. Therefore, We are Raptured off of the Earth and seated on Our throne, Immediately before all the Murder and Mayhem begins.

Below is the Promise.

Rev 3:21-22 ‘He who overcomes, I will grant to Him to sit down with Me on My throne, just as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.

Dan 7:13“I kept looking in the night visions, And behold, One like a Son of Man was coming on the clouds of heaven. And He came up to be presented before the Ancient of Days.

People ask where the Rapture is in the old Testament. It's in the Little Book/Daniel where we see many aspects of Revelations.

Rev 3:22 ‘He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches.’” ​
