PANGEA: A LIFE REVISITED

AS IT WAS IN THE BEGINNING
SO SHALL IT BE IN THE END

That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past. And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there. Ecclesiastes 3:15-16

Christ in HIS return unto earth shall be seen by every eye and all nations shall look upon HIM for fear of that which is to come. They lived their lives in lavish disregard for others and they accepted the person of the man to rule over them which had no attributes of love or any other thing which is known of God or by those to whom HE has ordained that carry forth HIS attributes and love for mankind and mankind's well-being. With total disregard toward those whom have borne the name of Christian and caused the neck of the Christian to be placed beneath the chopping block of death. Beheading their only hope in a world of disaray and total confusion prepared themselves for the following judgement of their Creator and the only Saviour for mankind, now they behold the skies and their demise in awestruck horror unmatchable by any Hollywood visionary or simblance thereunto.
Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. Revelation 1:7
Two things stand forth as an oddity for the consumption of mankind and they are the statements, "every eye shall see him" and, "they also which pierced him" how can these things be? for they ring as an impossibility? The last question might bear forth reasoning somewhat for the first as the last question does set the timeframe of the event of HIS return.
And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends. Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, saith the LORD of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones. And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein. And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God. Zechariah 13:6-9
The "house" of my friends is that of the modern day Israel which also did in the first century visit of Jesus Christ demanded the person of Barrabas for that of Christ and when pushed to the point cried out, Crucify him, Crucify him, as they would have Jesus put to the death of crucifixon which was completed by the Romans (Matthew 27:15-18). This would lend weight unto the timeframe being a time for the restoration of Christ's friends -those of HIS own household whom rejected HIM - which began the walk in 1948 and now has developed into a run in our time to swift judgement and destruction of this world that now is, and any associated as the "friend of this world" and are become the enemy of the cross. Having established the timeframe from 1948-founding of Israel as a nation- the second follows suit as "every eye shall behold him" could be inferred as modern man's invention of the television and that of the space telescope - Hubble - which would allow everyone to "see" the coming of Christ in their own living room as they watched his return on their television sets, but this would affirm all to have electricity and TV sets and reception, but perhaps there is another way not often mentioned in today's society?
AS IT WAS IN THE BEGINNING
The world or all that is the land mass of the world began as one unit or land mass verifiable even by the scientists of the world who called the mass - Pangea.



This too was noted in the Bible and there was a day in the which the land was divided or rather the earth was divided.
And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan. Genesis 10:25
God separated the continents by earthquake (the big one) and division of the land, speech, and nations occurred. This began the events of much turmoil in the earth which would erupt volcanoes and earthquakes and made the land to not rest but alway in shifting positions. Alway shifting until...finally during their last stages of movement they would come back together as one land mass again, so as it was in the beginning so shall it be in the end or latter times. The "end" is not the end of this earth, but it is the end of what is known in Biblical language as the "fullfilment of the age of the Gentiles", however, it is a signal of the return of the mass of land as one unit.
And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great. Revelation 16:16-21
The timeframe here is the time of Armageddon also called; the Time of Jacob's Trouble, Valley of Decision, Hamongog and many other names including War of the Valley of the Kings etc..,. Hamongog here, is not to be confused with the final battle which is the battle of Gog and Magog in Revelation 20:7-8 but this is indeed the battle of Armageddon which so many have received warning of, this battle is listed:
And they shall sever out men of continual employment, passing through the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search. And the passengers that pass through the land, when any seeth a man's bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamongog. And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land. And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood. Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan. And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you. Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord GOD. And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them. Ezekiel 39:14-21
Here the beasts of the field and the birds shall eat and drink the flesh and blood of the men of battle whether kings or soldiers. Also the mountains are still here at this point as the movement of the earth is culminating at or near this point as the land mass moves back into one and the mountains made low and the valleys made even. The time frame is again illustrated in:
And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel: And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand. Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured. Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD. And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD. So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel. Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this is the day whereof I have spoken. And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven years: Ezekiel 39:2-9Again the timeframe is such that the mountains and the isles (or islands) are mentioned and the time is yet to come as the movement is started and will culminate before or at the appearance of Jesus Christ and the saints that come with HIM that have prior to this point been assembled in heaven for the Marriage Supper of the Lamb or the recognition of the saints with the supper which Christ stated HE would not drink with them again until HIS Father's Kingdom had come. There are two verses that apply to this point and one states Christ would drink the fruit of the vine new with them, speaking of the Christians, "in" HIS Father's kingdom while the other states that HE would not drink it with them until the kingdom of God should come. Christ is recognizing two events, the assembly of HIS body (the church) in heaven and the arrival of the kingdom of God. The one stating "in" giving the place of the supper and the other stating "of" as this recognizes the Kingdom of God has indeed begun contrary to what some may affirm as that we are now in the kingdom of God, however, we shall not have been placed into the "kingdom" without the physical presence of the SON. It is much like stating we are now saved however our physical presence is still on earth typing or reading this message and not that we have arrived into heaven but are accounted as to have achieved "into" heaven as though we presently are there. It is much like you are your father's or mother's child even though they are not present to verify you as such, but still you know and are assured you are indeed your mom and dad's child and do not need an appearance on the Maury show to prove such (although there is nothing wrong with that). Just as you were growing up your mom or dad told you that you were their child and you accepted such without doubt and as time went by you began to look and act (perhaps not that you wanted to) like the parents, so it is with the Christian as he/she begin to look and act like their Saviour and to know from whence they have come and to where they should arrive, as in:
But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom. - and - For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come. Matthew 26:29/Luke 22:18
THE GREAT FALLING AWAY
And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there. Ecclesiastes 3:16We cannot speak well of the timeframe, that is Israel back into the land, without the notice of the condition of the church of today in this same timed frame. As Israel signals the beginning trump of the latter day so too does the condition of the church signal the "season" of the last time. Paul states this more eloquently than I ever could or would want to in:
Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; ll Thessalonians 2:1-3But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. I Thessalonians 5:1-5
Paul is affirming that the church would know by the times and the seasons of when the Saviour would return for HIS own as no man would put his new bride or wife in the hands of other men to do that unto her as they would and then come and get her from them. A man is especially jealous over his new bride and would stop no shorter than death for her, so it is with Christ. Christ would not leave HIS church who willingly wanted to enter into HIS marriage with HIM and Christ is known as a jealous God over HIS church. So the "time" of the judgement beginning would be with the founding of Israel in 1948 and the "season" would be when the church, the recognized bride of our LORD would begin to "fall away" or "feel left" much as that of Mary and Martha a time of sadness and paying no attention of the arrival of the Master due to the death of their brother - Lazrus - who is the resemblance of those whom are asleep in Christ or dead. We also have been given the voice of the season as it is a time when they (meaning the world) would begin to say, "Peace and Safety" then it is a time of sudden destruction. We will see and know the world's condition as they may be getting closer to this statement of peace. However, the church is not incumbent upon the statement itself only that the nations of the world would be aligning themselves unto what they would term as a "peaceful co-existence" and it is of no consequence that the leaders keep reaffirming their commitment unto peace and safety with Palestine and Israel. The re-gathering of the church unto Jesus Christ is silent just as the theif is announced when he comes to steal so it is with our LORD when HE returns for the church and catches an awaiting, trusting in a mankind remedy for the world, ever so silently - the church is now - gone!
