**THERE ARE FALSE TEACHERS LIKE ZECHARYAH AND SATAN THAT TEACH YOU ARE SAVED BY GOOD WORKS AND JESUS IS NOT GOD**??
**BUT WHAT DOES GOD'S WORD SAY**??
Titus 3:3,4: At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. But when the kindness and **LOVE** of God our Savior appeared , He saved us, **NOT BECAUSE OF RIGHTEOUS THINGS WE HAD DONE**, but because of **HIS MERCY**!!
Ephesians 2:8,9: For it is by **GRACE** you have been saved, through **FAITH**—and this **NOT FROM YOURSELVES**, it is the **GIFT OF GOD**—not by works. So that no one can boast.

**IS JESUS OUR GREAT GOD AND SAVIOR**??
John 20:27-29: Then He said to Thomas, "Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe!" Thomas said to him, "My Lord and **MY GOD**!" Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen Me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed!"

She is to give birth to a Son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus which means **GOD IS HELP**, because He will save His people from their sins. All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet {Isaiah 7:14 above} "The virgin will conceive and give birth to a Son, and they will call Him **IMMANUEL** which means **GOD WITH US**!
John 1:18: No one has ever seen God, but the One and only Son, who is **HIMSELF GOD** and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made Him known!
John 14:6,7: Jesus says, "I am the **WAY** the **TRUTH** and the **LIFE**. No one comes to the Father except through Me. If you really knew Me, you will know the Father as well. From now on, you do know Him and have **SEEN HIM**!"

There are some who completely ignore these Scriptures and claim that Jesus is not God because he said that the Father is greater than me in John 14:28 and that the Father told Him what to say as per John 14:23,24: Jesus says, "Anyone who loves Me will obey My teaching. My Father will love them, and We will come to them and make our home with them. Anyone who does not love Me will not obey My teaching.

Revelation 17:14; They will wage war against the **LAMB**, but the **LAMB** will overcome them because He is **LORD** of lords and King of kings--and with Him will be **HIS** **CALLED**, *CHOSEN** and **FAITHFUL** followers!!

Matthew 24:35: Jesus says, Heaven and earth will pass away, but **MY WORDS WILL NEVER PASS AWAY**!"
I John 2:3-5: We know we have come to know Him {Jesus} if we obey His commands. The man who says, "I know Him," but does not do what He commands is a liar and the truth is not in him. But if anyone **OBEYS HIS WORD**, God's love is truly made complete in him!

And holy spirit inspired the 8 writers of the 27 books of the New Testament to write everything Jesus told him to write!!

Exegesis of Mark 9:1 which is the favorute verse for the Preterists:
Mark 9:1: Jesus says, "I tell you the truth, some {2 or more} who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God come with power"
In AD 96 the Apostle John saw in a vision the Kingdom God come with power after the 2nd Coming Jesus immediately followed by Judgment Day and the NEW EARTH** and the **NEW HEAVENS** and the Heavenly **NEW JERUSALEM** in Revelation 21:1-5 and Revelation 22:1-5!
Then the book of Revelation telling of the **NEW EARTH** and the **NEW HEAVENS** and the **NEW JERUSALEM** was immediately sent to 7 churches in 7 cities in Eastern Turkey which was within 100 miles of the island of Patmos. It is also reasonable to assume that there was at least one other Apostle who was alive at this time and read about the Kingdom of God coming with power in Revelation! It is also reasonable to assume that God may have shown the vision of the coming of the Kingdom of God to one or more Apostles who were alive in AD 96 which would also explain Mark 9:1 above.
Revelation 21:1-5: Then I saw a **NEW HEAVEN** and a **NEW EARTH**, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City the **NEW JERUSALEM**, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Look! God's dwelling place is now among the people, and He will dwell with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making **EVERYTHING NEW**!! Then He said, "Write this down, for these words are **TRUSTWORTHY AND TRUE**!! "
Exegesis of Mark 9:1 which is the favorute verse for the Preterists:
Mark 9:1: Jesus says, "I tell you the truth, some {2 or more} who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God come with power"

Hallelujah!
The devil is defeated!
Amen!
Matthew 24:34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
Mark 8:38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words IN THIS adulterous and sinful GENERATION; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he COMETH in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
Jesus is King of kings, and we should avoid leaving Him in a manger, hanging on a crucifix, or waiting for some future carnal and earthly kingdom (Heb 10:12-13; 12:2; Rev 2:26-27; 3:21; etc.).
The gospel of the kingdom obviously included God's grace in Christ (Acts 2:22-40; 8:12; 28:23,31).
After the resurrection of Jesus, the gospel included those very glorious details (I Cor 15:1-11,24).
The kingdom is not future – it is now(Heb 12:28-29; I Cor 15:24).
The gospel of the kingdom must include Jesus as its King (Acts 2:33-36; 4:11; 5:31; 10:36).
The generation that crucified the Lord of glory was the wickedest in the history of the world, and their crime against the Son of God was clearly the most heinous crime in the history of mankind.
Jesus proved Himself King by emphatically destroying His enemies, their city, and their temple
**WHAT WILL TAKE PLACE AT THE SECOND COMING OF OUR GREAT GOD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST APPEARS ON THE LAST DAY**??
Colossians 3:4: When Christ, who is your life **APPEARS**, then **YOU** {**CHURCH SAINTS**} also will **APPEAR** with Him in glory.”
I John 3:2,3: “When Jesus **APPEARS**, **WE** {**CHURCH SAINTS**} shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. Everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure!!”
I Peter 5:4: “When the Chief Shepherd **APPEARS**, **YOU** {**CHURCH SAINTS**} will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away!”
I Peter 1:13: Therefore, with minds are alert and fully sober, **SET YOUR HOPE** on the grace to be brought to you when **JESUS CHRIST IS REVEALED AT HIS SECOND COMING**!
I Corinthians 15:48-52: As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth, and as is the heavenly man, so are those who are of heaven. And just as we have borne the image of the earthly man, so shall we ** BEAR THE IMAGE OF THE MAN FROM HEAVEN! I declare to you that **FLESH AND BLOOD CANNOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD**. Listen I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but **WE **ALL** WILL BE CHANGED**--in a flash in a twinkling of an eye, at the **LAST** TRUMPET, for the trumpet will sound, the dead will be **RAISED IMPERISHABLE, and **WE WILL BE CHANGED**. For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with **IMMORTALITY**!!
I Corinthians 15:22-24: For as in Adam all die, so in Christ **ALL** WILL BE MADE ALIVE**. But each in his own turn: Christ, the Firstfruits; **THEN WHEN HE COMES** those who belong to Him. **THEN THE **END** WILL COME** {Not 1260 days later!!}, when He hands over the Kingdom to God the Father!!
I Thessalonians 4:16,17; 5:2,4: For the Lord Himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel {See Rev 14:15} and with the **TRUMPET**{See Matt 24:30 & Rev 11:15,18 & I Cor 15:52} call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the **CLOUDS** {See Matt 24:30 and Rev 14:14} to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord **FOREVER**!
Matthew 24:29-31: Jesus says, "Immediately after the distress of those {1260} days the sun will be darkened, and the stars will fall from the sky {Luke 21:28 adds: "When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near!!"} At that time the sign of the Son of Man coming on the **CLOUDS** {See I Thess 4:17} of the sky, with power and great glory. And He will send His angels with a loud **TRUMPET** {See I Cor 15:52 & I Thess 4::16 & Rev 11:15,18} call an they will gather His **ELECT** {See Rom 11:5-7; 2 Tim 2:10 & Titus 1:1!} from the 4 winds, from one end of the heavens to the other!" {Mark 13:27 adds: "From the ends of the earth."}
Daniel 12:1,2,7b: There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations to then. But at that time your people--everyone whose name is found in the {Lamb's} Book will be delivered. Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth well awake, some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt.
Matthew 25:31-34,41,46: Jesus says, "When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him {See Matt 24:29-31; I Thess 4:16,17; 2 Thess 1:6-10}, He will sit on His glorious throne. All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on His right and the goats on His left. *THEN** the King will say to those on His right, 'Come, you who ar blessed by My father; take your inheritance, the Kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world... **THEN** He will say to those on His left, 'Depart from Me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels'...**THEN** they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life!"
2 Thess 1:1,6-10: ‘To the *CHURCH* of the Thessalonians…God is just; He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you and give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as well. This will happen *WHEN* the Lord Jesus is **REVEALED** from heaven in blazing fire with His powerful angels {See Matt 24:30-31 above!}. He will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord **ON THE DAY HE COMES** to be glorified in His holy people {**CHURCH SAINTS**}!! This includes **YOU** {Thessalonian **CHURCH SAINTS**}
So here we see that the Resurrection of the saved and the lost will be Resurrected on the **SAME DAY** when Jesus Christ is **REVEALED** from heaven with His powerful angels!!
