Matthew 11:23

Then Jesus began to denounce the cities in which most of his miracles had been performed, because they did not repent.

That the Messiah performed miracles, did not always lead to people repenting from their sins. He came back and rebuked the cities that had seen His most awesome powers. Jesus was not sent to Earth to join a spiritual competition to see who would perform the biggest miracles. He came to pay the perfect atonement for our sins, pouring out His blood at the cross in Jerusalem. Be aware that Satan also has been given the power to deceive people with miracles. God has given Satan such powers to test us.

John 2: 25

He did not need man’s testimony about man, for he knew what was in a man.

The Messiah do not want men to boost. Many claimed to be followers of Jesus do exactly that. They try to show how great they are, many of them have tittles like «Pastors». They talk about their Church, or their ministry, and all the good things they have done. Jesus rebukes this kind of attitude. The Church is His. And He is the builder, and to Him goes all the honor and glory.

Daniel 12:7
The man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, lifted his right hand and his left hand toward heaven, and I heard him swear by him who lives forever, saying, “It will be for a time, times and half a time. When the power of the holy people has been finally broken, all these things will be completed.”

Revelation 11:12
Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here.” And they went up to heaven in a cloud, while their enemies looked on.

These are two verses I use to teach about a Great tribulation rapture. Lord Jesus will come to collect and rapture a badly bruised, powerless and persecuted Church. The rest of the «Church» will be left behind. The rapture will take place Just before he returns to Jerusalem, and there will be hardly anyone who wants to listen to the truth about Jesus the Messiah. The teachers who preach about a Global end time revival, have in my opinion missed the mark. The true Church is a rescue operation, not a political power house.

Isaiah 56:7
these I will bring to my holy mountain and give them joy in my house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and sacrifices will be accepted on my altar; for my house will be called a house of prayer for all nations.”

Matthew 21:13
“It is written,” he said to them, ” ‘My house will be called a house of prayer,’ but you are making it a ‘den of robbers.’
