June 16^th 2010 Wednesday Message Summary

Scriptures: John 4:5-30, 39-42, Matthew 24:14, 1 Corinthians 4:16-20

Today’s scriptures introduce the scene in which Jesus went to Samaria and evangelized a woman by a community well used by all the people of the village. This opened the door of the gospel to Samaria, resulting in a large number of people being evangelized. From that time on, the disciples also evangelized as Jesus did and they continuously spread the history of the gospel. That history of life did not cease for 2,000 years.

In the scriptures, the water that the Lord gave to the Samaritan woman referred to the Word of life. It is also referring to the Lord’s true love that solves all lifes problems of mankind, the problem being the agony and distress from physical love.

The Lord was the owner, so he knew all things and preached the gospel in an awesome way. How great it would have been if the chosen people of Israel had recognized Jesus as the Samaritan woman did! If the religious leaders of that time had recognized him, the whole generation would have followed Jesus.

In this time also, if a person believes and follows the Lord, he treats them like the Samaritan woman, and he lets their stories remain in history and thrive forever. To see that one woman of Samaria, Jesus might have thought, burning with hope, “This is how it will turn out if I preach the gospel on the land of Samaria.’

The woman entered the village and testified to the people. She told them about her meeting with Jesus by the well and the Word that he had told her. So the entire village gathered around and they believed about Jesus according to what she told them. They gathered at one place and talked about Jesus as the main topic. It was a meeting of the villagers to whom the woman already gave a preparatory message. Then Jesus came. The villagers welcomed him and looked up to him as soon as they saw him.

Jesus preached the gospel in the land of gentiles and laid a firm foundation. Afterward, he returned to Jerusalem and died on behalf of the sins of the Israelites and the sins of the people of the world. Three days after he was buried, Jesus resurrected and worked in the spirit. From that time on, his disciples, received the Holy Spirit, received fire and began preaching the gospel. Jesus appeared to them in spirit, led and guided them and made history of the New Testament.

Jesus’ disciples kept preaching the gospel even through persecutions and martyrdom. They received the Holy Spirit and preached the gospel that had to be preached to the generation. Persecution from Rome continued over 300 years, but they kept preaching the gospel until they eventually turned Rome into Christendom. That gospel spread around the world. So today, it has become the 2000 year history of the gospel and that has been preached to the end of the earth.

Jesus said that he would come back when the gospel was preached to the end of the earth, regardless of whether all of them believed in Jesus or not. Just as the Lord said, the gospel has reached to the end of the earth. So the time of the Lord’s return is near. The Lord has now proclaimed the Word of the Advent to the Providence history which is the foundation of his Second Coming. We have been listening to the Word of preparing the Lord’s Advent for the past thirty years. From 2009, the Lord began telling us in detail about the Advent, and about how he would come again. Upon hearing them, we were stunned by the gospel of the Lord’s Second Coming of this time period, just as the Samaritan woman was stunned and filled with hope to hear Jesus’ gospel by the well.

<Jesus’ Word> -The key message of this time period-

Whichever time period it may be, you must deliver the gospel pertaining to that time period. Then that time period will be revived and resurrect, and those who preach the gospel will become alive and fulfill their mission. The gospel of each time period is the message Jesus is giving to the person of mission of that time period. If the central figure of the Word receives the message and delivers it, everyone should follow those words and preach it. You can say that the person who delivers the gospel pertinent to that time period, whoever they may be, is one who fulfills their mission.

One of the purposes of evangelism is to make people open their eyes to the time period by preaching the message about rapture and the Second Coming. People of established religions believe in Jesus, but they think differently about the Second Coming and rapture due to their fixed mentalities, and consequently they cannot understand and accept this Word quickly.  Those without such fixed thoughts receive the Word well because they are learning it for the first time. Therefore, you must teach well from the beginning and make them prepare for the Second Coming in order for hope to be fulfilled, for the hope of you who are living in this time period to be fulfilled, and for the hope of the Second Coming and rapture to be fulfilled.

Is not the key point of the Sunday and Wednesday messages preparing for my Second Coming, and preparing you as the bride of rapture? Those who do not know the key points and do not take action according to the key points are like people who do not reap benefits even though they have done everything necessary.

Wake up in regards to rapture and the Second Coming, and about love and repentance. You must teach the doctrine of rapture, of the Second Coming, of repentance and of Jesus’ love properly, and make them believe. Then, with the hope of rapture, many will take action for the transformation of their spirit, and the time period will become hopeful. That is why Jesus has delivered these words to you.
