November 2^nd 2011 Wednesday Message Summary

Scriptures: Matthew 22:1-10

1. In today’s main Scriptures, the Lord spoke using a parable. For the wedding banquet of his son, the king sent people to tell those who had been invited to come to the banquet. But all those who had been invited said that they couldn’t come because they were tied down to their lives. There were also those who even spoke ill of the messengers who invited them, and they slandered the messengers, beat them, and insulted them.

So those whom the king sent came back beaten and hurt; they returned alone with no guests. The King then sent his army and captured and destroyed those who treated his servants wickedly. Afterward, the king again sent messengers to invite anyone to the wedding banquet. He sent messengers and they invited anyone who wanted to come since there would be a wedding banquet for the King’s son. Then, many came to participate in the wedding banquet.

2. The people who had believed in God and waited for the Messiah to come before Jesus’ coming were the Jews. Once Jesus came, they were the very first ones to be called to the new history. The purpose was to invite those who had already been believing in God and hold a banquet of the Word, a banquet of salvation of joy and love, so that God could spread the history of salvation through His son, Jesus, who was like the son of the king.

However, the Jews did not come because they were caught up in their own thinking, the doctrine of Moses’ Law, the old time period, and their daily lives. The rest slandered Jesus calling Him a heretic, and they insulted and persecuted Him. God repaid them according to their deeds, and sent messengers again to invite anyone to participate in the history of salvation. God invited and called those who hadn’t believed in Him. God called others instead and held the wedding banquet of His salvation history with those who gladly came.

3. It is the same for this time period, the Complete Testament history.

Because the time arrived, the Lord came as ‘a spirit’ in this time period. Since He is a spirit, He is using a worthy person from the earth as His body, and through him the Lord is speaking the Word at a higher level according to the time period. The Lord has come to fulfill the Will that must be fulfilled by the body on earth in order to make the history of the Advent.

In order to receive the Lord’s Advent, you need to know how His Advent will be carried out and what you must do to receive it, and you have to live in a way that’s fitting of that level. When Jesus returns, He will come as the Bridegroom. So you have to listen to the Lord’s Word of the Complete Testament that is proclaimed at a higher level in this time period, and you should lead a life of faith in the position of a bride as the Lord’s counterpart of love.

Before our spirits rapture to Heaven at the time when the archangel blows the trumpet, first we must fulfill the First Rapture in which our bodies listen to the Word of the times and receive salvation while on earth. This is ‘the Physical Rapture.’ This is ‘the resurrection where our spirit and body come out from the domain of death into the domain of life.’ This must be done first.

‘The Rapture’ means that our spirit and body transform perfectly by listening to the Word of the times and taking action. It means to repent cleanly as the Lord wants and to love the Lord perfectly. It means that our body and spirit come out from the domain of death into the domain of life by listening to the Word of truth that the Lord preaches through the-man-of-mission whom He sent in this time period and our spirit transforms into the heavenly form of a bride according to the deeds of our body. A person who has properly transformed in their life to the point that the Lord would say, “You are My bride,” is the one who is participating in the wedding banquet, the Physical Rapture of this time period. We must understand this fundamentally.
