Three days and three nights went by, and then God the Father brought Jesus back to life.
Jesus told His disciples that He would go back to heaven and be with God the Father again. Jesus said He would come back to Earth in the last days and set up His kingdom. Satan and his demons would be removed and put in the prison of the great abyss.
Jesus told His disciples that people who obey God's way will be given life forever and be leaders when He comes back to earth. Jesus finished talking to them and as they looked, He was taken up into heaven in a cloud and out of their sight.
While His disciples kept looking up, two angels in white clothing stood nearby. The two angels said, “Jesus will come back just as you have seen Him go.”
By the time Jesus comes back there will be much learning, discovery and the making of many clever machines and devices. The world will be full of Satan's evil ideas and most people will follow them, thinking they are doing well. Many people will become rich because God promised Abraham that He would give good land and many other blessings to Abraham's children.
Satan does not want people to learn the true way of God. It is the true way of God that leads to eternal life by God the Father and Jesus Christ.
Until the set time for Jesus to return, Satan will continue to influence the people to do evil. Satan loves to get people to put God's name on their evil religions and think they are doing what God wants them to do.
There will be wars, droughts, floods, and famine. There will also be much sickness, pain and death because the people are following Satan's evil way and not God's way.
God has allowed Satan to blind the eyes of most of the people for now, but when Satan is put away God will open the eyes of the people and teach them His way.
Most people do not want to believe that Jesus is coming back.
“In the last days there will come mockers doing whatever they like, asking, 'Where is the promise of His coming?'“ Everything is the same since the beginning of mankind.
There will be a very evil man who will call himself the “Christ”, a false messiah or savior, and will deceive the whole world.
Before Jesus comes back, he will send two men with great power, and they will prophesy for about three and a half years.
Then there will be great troubles, more than ever before, and unless God stops the terrible destruction, no one will be left alive. Then, as the sun shines from the east to the west, so will it be when Jesus comes back to earth. And then everyone will fight Him.
Also, the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give light and the stars will fall from heaven.
Then Jesus will come back on the clouds of heaven with great power and great glory. Jesus said He would send His angels with the loud sound of a trumpet to gather, from everywhere around the world, the people God has chosen because they obeyed Him.
God will raise from the dead everyone who obeyed Him. Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, David and all the apostles and true believers are the many people God will bring back to life when Jesus returns.
Then God will send His wrath on the disobedient people of the world. “Behold the day of the Lord comes both with wrath and fierce anger to lay the land bare and destroy the disobedient out of it.”
But God will protect all people and children who love and obey Him.
To tell us of Jesus' return He caused the apostle John to write, “I saw heaven opened and behold a white horse, and (Jesus Christ) Who sat upon the horse was called Faithful and True... (Jesus') eyes were as a flame of fire and on His head were many crowns. And (Jesus') name is the Word of God.”
Greatly blessed and spiritually pure (the ones who are thinking the way God wants us to think) are the ones who have part in the first resurrection...they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years to bring peace and happiness to all people.
At the end many people will see that God's way is right and they will change their ways to obey Him.
