God's Plan For Man html

let his house be broken into. So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.” “ Who t hen i s t he f a i t h f u l and wi s e s e r van t , whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time? It will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns. I tell you the truth; he will put him in charge of all his possessions. But suppose that servant is wicked and says to himself, ‘My master is staying away a long time,’ and he then begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards. The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of. He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. (Matthew 24: 23- 51) Jesus is seated at the right hand of the Father [so to speak], and the scriptures portray a series of events to follow because the scripture says: “ ‘Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.’ The LORD will extend your mighty scepter from Zion; you will rule in the midst of your enemies. Your troops will be willing on your day of battle. Arrayed in holy majesty, from the womb of the dawn you will receive the dew of your youth.” (Psalm 110:1-3) Conjoining this understanding are the words of Isaiah: “This is what the LORD says: ‘Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. Where is the house you will build for me? Where will my resting-place be? Has not my hand made all these things, and so they came into being?’ declares the LORD. This is the one I esteem: he who is humble and contrite in spirit, and trembles at my word.’ ” (Isaiah 66:1-2) The son of man, like Elijah, must prepare everything; when it’s prepared Jesus will come. Not before. Jesus completed once and for all the work He came to earth to complete. Jesus did not desire to suffer, but suffering was Satan’s last tactic to deter or defeat Jesus. The Father did not desire suffering nor propitiate what Jesus willingly accepted. Jesus accepted what was put upon Him, and He need not return until all is placed under his footstool: on earth Satan’s head is crushed. The scriptures say, “ ‘Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body you prepared for me; with burnt offerings and sin offerings you were not pleased.’ Then I said, ‘He r e I am — i t i s wr i t t en abou t me i n t he s c r o l l — I hav e c ome t o do y our wi l l , O God y our l aw i s wi t h i n my Divine Mercy, Not Sacrifice
