Matt. 24:3, “Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱
Amp. Heb. 9:28, “Even so it is that Christ, having been offered to take upon 𝗛𝗶𝗺𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗯𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗹𝗹, 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗮 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗿𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝘆.❞
So in dealing with the above to unearth the SECOND TIME saga, we have explained the purpose of the 𝗙𝗜𝗥𝗦𝗧 𝗧𝗜𝗠𝗘 𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗜𝗡𝗚 as shown below;
Amp. Heb. 9:24, “For Christ (the Messiah) has not entered into a sanctuary made with [human] hands, only a copy and pattern and type of the true one, but [𝗛𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱] 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝘁𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳, 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 [𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆] 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗚𝗼𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗳.
25 Nor did He [enter into the heavenly sanctuary to] offer Himself regularly again and again, 𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 [𝗛𝗼𝗹𝘆 𝗼𝗳] 𝗛𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝘄𝗻.”
That was for the purpose of presenting the blood of sacrifice before the Father as a High Priest.
Lev. 9:21, “…And the breasts and the right shoulder Aaron waved for a wave offering before the LORD; as Moses commanded.
22 And Aaron lifted up his hand toward the people, and blessed them, and came down from offering of the sin offering, and the burnt offering, and peace offerings.
23 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗠𝗼𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗮𝗿𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝘁, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲: 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗹𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗢𝗥𝗗 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲.❞
That is what He did after resurrection in presenting the Blood that we might be sanctified and blessed by Him. So the first appearing was to forgive us of our sins and to bless us with the blessings of God, as Aaron would do to Israel after the sacrifices (Num. 6:25-27).
This is why the second appearing has nothing to do with sins, as they have been forgiven by the first appearing. So why the second appearing you may ask?
Amp. Heb. 9:28, “Even so it is that Christ, having been offered to take upon Himself and bear as a burden the sins of many once and once for all, will appear a second time, not to carry any burden of sin nor to deal with sin, but 𝗧𝗢 𝗕𝗥𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗧𝗢 𝗙𝗨𝗟𝗟 𝗦𝗔𝗟𝗩𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗮𝗿𝗲 [𝗲𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿𝗹𝘆, 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆] 𝘄𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗛𝗶𝗺.❞
𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩’𝙨 𝙛𝙪𝙡𝙡 𝙨𝙖𝙡𝙫𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 You see, man is made up of sprit, soul and body (1Thes. 5:23). Right now (1) your spirit (Prov. 20:27; John 3:6; 1Cor. 6:7) is saved and this corresponds to the Most Holy Place; (2) your soul – mind, will, intellect and emotions (Holy Place) is being saved (Rom. 12:1-2); and (3) the Outer Court, which corresponds to your physical body, shall be saved.
Hence, we read in Rom. 8:22, “For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the first fruits of the Spirit,.𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝘄𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝘃𝗲𝘀, 𝘄𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗱𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗶𝘁, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆.
24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?”
Can you see it? This then is the full salvation that the Word is talking about. I call this “the whole man redemption.” In the language of Jesus, therefore, as He appears before the Father a second time to identify with those eagerly waiting and seeking Him in this direction before the throne, He said;
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.”
Essentially, this statement was for the Jews who rejected Him and so suffered the brutal destruction of the Romans. In the same vein, this is why those who will not acknowledge Him in their lives as believers might lose the singular privilege of putting on a glorified body when they ought to be putting on the very same type of Body He had when He rose from the grave.
This is the hope of full salvation.
