Second Coming lesson 2

16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.


Loud Command of the Lord

With a shout:
 probably in these words: Arise, ye dead, and come to judgment;

To understand this better, let us look at Gospel of John 11 from verse 17


Martha says Lord if you were here, he would not have died.
and but Lord Jesus says why talk about end days, I am here.
then Martha says that at the resurrection day he will rise.

Verse 25 is very important, Lord Jesus says 

1st truth
I am the resurrection and I am the life.
Jesus Himself is the resurrection. Life means Lord Jesus.

Many times we are like Martha, we are people who are quick in words or speaking many truths but we lack believing when moment comes.
Many times I myself a man of many words , speak a lot about Gods word, but when situations came, i stumbled ( honestly). when my wife is preganat first time the doctors told me your daughter might get Thalsemmia. Till then I was a man who spoke lot of Gods Word.but when situation came for me, my faith is revealed.

So today do we believe that Resurrection and Life are Lord Jesus Christ.
Colossians 1:16, In Him we are created, by Him we are created.

Imagine believers who died long back , their graves are not there, but
when the Lord comes they all will be raised. 
matthew 10:14 says, even dust particles will testify to it.

1 corinthians 15:51,52
In a twinkling of eye, we will be changed.

2nd truth
Colossians 3:3,4
our life is hidden in Jesus Christ.
when we died in this mortal body, our life is hidden in Jesus Christ

How we know that our life is hidden in Jesus Christ.
How do we know that this belongs to your property.
how do we know this children are yours.
by a seal
sealed by Holy Spirit.(Romans 11:36)

Voice of Archangel

Angels and Arch Angels.
There are myriads and myriads of angels in the heaven.
there are various angels God has created.
some are seraphs, cherubs, some are ministering angels to the believers. some are fallen angels who are doomed to destruction.
whats mentioned here Arch Angel of God.
this Arch angel of God: is like a chief of the angels.
Jude 1:9 says
The arch angel Michael did not condemn but says Lord rebuke you.
Lord might have sent arch angel to do the funeral activities for Moses.
Even the dead bodies of the righteous people are precious in Gods sight.
at that time, there was big argument between Michael and Satan.
Michael did not lose his tongue or word , although he had full authority.
Even rebuke of Michael is glorifying to God.

Daniel 10:11-13
One of the princes, Michael - that means there are other angels who are equal to the stairs of Michael.
But Jude says the arch angel Michael.
in Bible there are no other names of other arch angels mentioned.

Daniel 12:1 
Michael stands with people of Israel during their tough times.
When we go through our tough times, God does not leave us alone, but sends his angels to minister to us.
1st verse says everyone who is found in book of Life will be rescued.

Resurrection of dead and Michael have close relationship
In Jude with Moses dead body.

Michael in Thessalonians 4:15,16
Daniel 12:12, Michael mentioned.

Whenever the resurrection is mentioned, God used arch angel Michael.
So even in this verse of 1 Thess 4:16, The shout of Arch angel is there during resurrection of the dead.


Trumpet Call of God. Devuni boora.
Number 10:12
4 reasons to use trumpet
1) to gather congregation
2) to move from one place to another
3) during war time
4) during happy or festival time.

1) During Rapture, the trumpet is blown to gather all saints.
2) Saints move from one place to another place to meet Lord Jesus.
3) Vivaha mahotsava samayamu


Order of resurrection:
1 Thess 4:17 says First Dead will rise and then the Living.

The coming of the Lord Jesus is for sure. and He is our resurrection and Life.
this is not a study to just to make it interesting , but this is to share and encourage one another.
Verse 18 says Encourage one another with these words.
Amen.
