The Third Day

The third day of Jesus' return is long overdue. Let us inquire: what is the real meaning of the "third day," not from the apostles, but from the prophets. The apostles said that Jesus has risen on the third day, but let us read about what Jesus said before regarding "the three days"…

Jesus took the Twelve aside and told them, "We are going up to Jerusalem,

and everything that is written by the prophets about the Son of Man will be fulfilled.

He will be handed over to the Gentiles. They will mock him, insult him, spit on him,

flog him and kill him.
Luke 18:31-32 (NIV)

Jesus mentioned the “son of Man” - He was to face his punishment and...

On the third day he will rise again."
Luke 18:33 (NIV)

Did the apostles understand the meaning of what he said?

The disciples did not understand any of this. Its meaning was hidden from them,

and they did not know what he was talking about.
Luke 18:34 (NIV)

Again, our Maestro Evangelista will explain the "three days" or "the third day" Jesus talked about; saying, we should only use our wisdom and understanding…

What Jesus meant was that it is not literally "three days," but…

For a thousand years in your sight
are like a day that has just gone by,
or like a watch in the night.
Psalm 90:4 (NIV)

A thousand years to man is a day to God, is it true?

But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day

is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.
2 Peter 3:8 (NIV)

Jesus was actually saying that the "third day" will be on the third millennia or after 2000 years, our present time. The “Son of Man” that Jesus was referring to is the man who will come in his name, the “angel” in Revelation 22:16!

Jesus knew about this prophecy but when he committed sin, he was not allowed to explain these things anymore. Another is to come to explain all about the things he has said and done.

If Jesus is not to return, who will?

"I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches.

I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star."
Revelation 22:16 (NIV)

Jesus says, his "angel" is the one to come. The "angel" will explain clearly that Jesus is only a "descendant of David" and that he is also the "bright morning star."

THE THIRD DAY

Regarding the "third day" which Jesus spoke, is it really prophesied? Maestro Evangelista will reveal to us the meaning:

"Come, let us return to the LORD.
He has torn us to pieces
but he will heal us;
he has injured us
but he will bind up our wounds.
Hosea 6:1 (NIV)

This is what God is doing right now.
After two days he will revive us;
on the third day he will restore us,
that we may live in his presence.
Hosea 6:2 (NIV)

"two days he will revive us" – the last two thousand years.

"on the third day he will restore us" - this is our time; we are in the first years of the third millennium - the third day. God’s people will be known in this time.

"that we may live in his presence" - this is the time God's presence will be with man.

Let us acknowledge the LORD;
let us press on to acknowledge him.
As surely as the sun rises,
he will appear;
he will come to us like the winter rains,
like the spring rains that water the earth."
Hosea 6:3 (NIV)

"Let us acknowledge the LORD" - we have to know God and call on His Name, and He will come.

"What can I do with you, Ephraim?
What can I do with you, Judah?
Your love is like the morning mist,
like the early dew that disappears.
Hosea 6:4 (NIV)

"Ephraim” and “Judah" – Who were they? Maestro Evangelista will explain it to us later.

"like the morning mist" - Because we have not put our faith in God, we always turn away from Him.

Therefore I cut you in pieces with my prophets,
I killed you with the words of my mouth;
my judgments flashed like lightning upon you.
Hosea 6:5 (NIV)

Maestro Evangelista says, it is by our reading of the prophets that we have discovered that the religions do not belong to God and that their teachings are not of God's.

What can we give to God?

For I desire mercy, not sacrifice,
and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings.
Hosea 6:6 (NIV)

Call on His Name, for God really has a Name. God doesn't need offerings. He created everything, what can we give to Him in return? Maestro Eraño M. Evangelista says: we should praise and thank God and call on His Name and obey His commandments, for us to be blessed.

We are already in the "third day!"

What did Solomon say about the angel? What is the work of the angel for God? Who is he?

"As for the foreigner who does not belong to your people Israel

but has come from a distant land because of your name -
1 Kings 8:41 (NIV)

This is the angel that will come; he will no longer come from the people of Israel, and will come from a far country…

for men will hear of your great name and your mighty hand and

your outstretched arm - when he comes and prays toward this temple,
1 Kings 8:42 (NIV)

The "angel" of Jesus, who is also the "foreigner" of God, will come and will introduce to all men the Name of God…

then hear from heaven, your dwelling place, and do whatever the foreigner asks of you, so that all the peoples of the earth may know your name and fear you, as do your own people Israel, and may know that this house I have built bears your Name.
1 Kings 8:43 (NIV)

Who is the "foreigner" that will introduce the Name of God to all men?

Maestro Evangelista has answered the question given earlier. Now the next question is, which we know you are eager to learn:

What is the Name of God? But first, let us...

The Revelation of the Foreigner as mentioned by King Solomon in:

“As for the foreigner who does not belong to your people Israel but has come from a distant land because of your name— for they will hear of your great name and your mighty hand and your outstretched arm—when he comes and pray toward this temple, then hear from heaven, your dwelling place. Do whatever the foreigner asks of you, so that all the peoples of the earth may know your name and fear you, as do your own people Israel, and may know that this house I have built bears your Name."

I Kings 8:41-43 (NIV)
