and ignorant of God's Truth and believe on the 'false messiah' Lucifer?  Why are they with this crowd of evildoers also?  No doubt some are ignorant of the origins and false nature of some doctrines they teach, like the pre-tribulation "secret rapture", etc., but if they had verified those doctrines going to The Word, they would not teach such things if they were sincere. I've seen and heard of some Church ministers visiting a congregation as a guest teacher, and causing a split among the members, because he wanted a following of his own to support him elsewhere.  Is that not 'arrogance' and 'self-pride'? There are too many teachers in the pulpits that are there to serve their own immature identity crisis, and treat teaching The Word like a business. They listen to the so-called higher critics of God's Word instead of verifying The Word for themselves. So these deserve what they're going to get, as they make others stray also.

 

Isa 13:12    I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.

     What sort of men, or 'young men' are these?  It's those who know our Father, and He Who knows us, His children that follow Him.  The word 'man' is used in the sense that all spiritual bodies have the 'image' and likeness of our Father and the angels.

 

Gen.1:26-27 26:2-5: 27...Isaac’s blessing of Jacob and Esau:

 

Gen. 5:1: This is THE BOOK OF THE GENERATIONS OF ADAM. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him.

 

Gen.9:6: Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.

 

2 Cor 3:18: But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

 

 Eph.4:24: And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

 

Isa 13:13   Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of His fierce anger.

     This 'shaking' is also mentioned again in...

Matt.24:29: Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.

By our Saviour, is yet future to us even. For Cyrus' time, it no doubt applied to the conquering armies upon old Babylon. But for us in the future, this 'shake the heavens' is when Satan and his host are cast out of heaven after the war with Michael.

 

Matt.24: 3 And as He sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto Him privately, saying, “Tell us,

When shall these things (v2) be? 

And what shall be the sign of Thy coming? (What is the sign of thy Parousia?) This is the first of twenty four occurrences of this important word Parousia. The Papyri shows that from the Ptolemaic period down to the second century A.D. the word is traced in the east as a technical expression for the arrival or the visit of the king or the emperor, also of other persons in authority, or of troops. It is not therefore a N. T. Word, as some have supposed. The End = Sunteleia; meeting together of all that marks the consummation of the age; not telos = the actual end.
