    Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 27, 2022
     | 2,351 views

    In Matthew 25, Jesus talks about two eternal destinations. At the Second Coming, the King Himself will return and destroy all His enemies and establish His kingdom on the earth. That will be the Millennial Kingdom. The Jews will finally recognize Jesus as their Messiah.

    Notice two categories that Jesus mentions: 1. The sheep (saved) Sheep may be stupid, but they are also loyal and will quickly follow their leader. Read John 10:1-5. Sheep will recognize the voice of their shepherd, and they will not follow someone who might be imitating the shepherd. 2. The ...read more

    In Romans 12:2 we read, And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

    It seems that one of the easiest things in this world to do is follow the crowd and let others do our thinking for us. The lost world is convinced we are so dumb we can not think for ourselves. For example, we cannot even listen to the president of the United States address this nation on ...read more
