The Bible promises events that
will take place ‘that day’, ‘that time’ or ‘last day’. When these promises are
fulfilled, a reality appears and the correct meaning of what was promised can
be explained. What God promised Abraham was fulfilled at Moses’ time and what
God promised through the Old Testament prophets was fulfilled at Jesus’ first coming.
In the same way, the promises made since Jesus came on earth 2000 years ago will
be fulfilled at the time of his second coming. Such promises include:-
"For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who beholds the
Son and believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will raise him up
on the last day." (Jn 6:40)
(Jesus said that everyone who listens
and believes in his words will come to him.)
Martha said to Him, "I know that he will rise again in the
resurrection on the last day." (Jn 11:24)
"But of that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in
heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.” (Mk 13:32)
As the only book in the Bible left
to be fulfilled, these promises all point to the fulfilment of the New
Testament book of Revelation, marking Jesus’ second coming. Jesus has fulfilled
the promises of Revelation through his promised messenger who has seen and
heard all the events of Revelation and testifies them to the churches (Rv 22:8,16). Those who believe in the fulfilment
of the New Testament promises have been born of God’s seed, harvested, sealed with
the word of God and belong to the promised 12 tribes of New Heaven New Earth recorded in Revelation.
