It was the return of the ages, Jesus of Nazareth who became the Christ prophesied about Himself, “Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven…” as written in Mark 13 of the Holy Bible, and it happened on solstice, Monday, December 21, 2020. The Christmas Star! The End Times are history, and Heaven is Here!
As written in the scriptures, once the appearance of the sign of the Son of Man in heaven occurred: In the Heavens, He sent his angels with a loud trumpet call, and the elect gathered from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other (Matthew 24). And then redemption and judgment through Jesus Christ, sent by God who is Love began as the New Heavens began its merge upon the New Earth as described prophetically in Revelation 21.
And then, from Matthew 25, after the Son of Man came in His glory, and all the angels were with him, He sat on his glorious throne. All the nations were gathered before him, and he began separating the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats…
Hold up! Wait! Do you already know which side YOU’RE lining up on?
If not, here’s Jesus’ guide for his disciples/followers/believers to know whether you are a Righteous & Blessed Sheep or Unrighteous Goat (although this isn’t quite fair to goats, especially G.O.A.T.s like Jesus Christ, but I digress). Here’s the lowdown in Jesus’ own words from the Bible:
| Righteous & Blessed* | Unrighteous |
| 34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ 37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ 40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me. “And the righteous will go away to eternal life.” | 41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’ 44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’ 45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’ 46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment.” |
So, in addition to each person’s individual redemption or judgment… what’s next for humanity?
For nearly 2 millennia, Christians have been looking towards the future for Jesus’ return to bring great joy to all people and all nations. Now that it’s happened, we’re in the middle of a mental shift of realizing what we projected as an event to happen in the future (beyond our lifetimes) is now actually already in the past as a part of our shared history. It may spark questioning, like:
What happens now when Christ Jesus has returned to earth fulfilling the prophecies?
What happens now when Jesus of Nazareth from the Bible is confirmed as a true Holy Prophet from the God of the Most High who is Love and proves unequivocally He was/is/ever shall be exactly what the Bible says about Him? (What does this mean for other religions and spiritual pathways/wisdom traditions?)
What does it mean when we realize fully that Jesus of Nazareth as a Lord/Master/Guru/High Priest of Melchizedek is trustworthy for all people and they do not have to be “Christians” or practice “Christianity” to be saved (i.e., this is what is meant by Apostle Paul when he discussed true freedom in Christ Jesus as confirmed and testified through my life in The Gospel of Joy)?
All anyone must do is turn to a preferred/favorite translation of the Holy Bible to know exactly what to expect for all of us on earth (even if there isn’t consensus or agreement on the answers to the questions above yet).
In Jesus’ return in fulfillment of the scriptures means ALL of the following are already in progress RIGHT NOW from the heavens to the earth in truth from the Bible itself:
- Those who are victorious are being made pillars in the temple of God. Never again will they leave it. He is writing on them the name of God and the name of the city of God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from God, and upon them he is also writing his new name
(Revelation 3) - God is showing His incomparable riches of His grace, expressed in His kindness to us in Christ Jesus (so, just as you were created in Christ Jesus to do good works in life on earth, do them as directed in Ephesians 2!)
- YOUR redemption (Luke 21) or judgment. (i.e., YOUR personal turn to stand before the Son of Man. Friendly heads up: If you haven’t yet seen Jesus Christ face-to-face, He is on His way directly into your life and it’s only a matter of time for you now. In fact, I’ve already seen my redeemer face-to-face in real-life (and just like Job wrote in 19:25, he stood literally upon the earth)
- Motives of the heart are being exposed and light is revealing what is hidden in darkness (Are YOU a Christian behaving badly? Find out now!)
(1 Corinthians 4) - Those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus (which includes Love as the One, and Only Way of truth and life) will continue to be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of Love (the Lord) and from the glory of his might
(per Apostle Paul, Silas, and Timothy in 2 Thessalonians 1) - God’s chosen ones are receiving justice
(Luke 18) - Those who are ashamed of the Truth in Jesus’ word will incur the Son of Man being ashamed of them
(Luke 9) - All who are in their graves are hearing his voice and are coming out: those who have done what is good will rise to live, and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned
(John 5) - Christians who are still alive and left are getting caught up together in the clouds with the dead in Christ who are rising to meet the Lord in the air, to be with the Lord forever
(1 Thessalonians 4) - The time to proclaim the Lord’s death through the remembrance of his body and his blood are seemingly over (it was to be done, “until he comes” per 1 Corinthians 11)
- What is in part disappears as completeness comes
(1 Corinthians 13) - Everything is being restored as promised long ago through the Holy Prophets of God
(Acts 3, as spoken by Apostle Peter)
And yes, while the Bible told us there would be great mourning, shaking, and tribulation (including wrath and judgment as justice is dispensed according to the Law of Love), this transitional period will indeed wane as time marches onward because ultimately, Jesus Christ’s return means great joy on earth as all things are made new in Him, just as the angel pronounced to the shepherds in the fields in Luke 2:10: the good news of Jesus would cause great joy for all the people (not just some people, but all people) and this was confirmed by Apostle Paul when he preached Jesus’ purpose in life/death/resurrection/return to earth was/is/ever shall be “the joy” that was set out before him, the joy for all people on earth for our generation and those to come.
For the Kingdom of God is one of righteousness, peace, and JOY in the Holy Spirit (Romans 14:17) as prophesied by Isaiah and written in 9 beginning with verse 6:
“For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Of the greatness of his government and peace
there will be no end.
He will reign on David’s throne
and over his kingdom,
establishing and upholding it
with justice and righteousness
from that time on and forever.
The zeal of the Lord Almighty
will accomplish this.
“Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end…” and His Law of governance for all of creation in life, for governing of all kinds upon earth, including for all nations, and for all people, and for all generations to come, remains the same as it ever was, as spoken by Jesus Himself and recorded in the Bible in Matthew 22, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
It’s literally all about love (and only love), and it’s been right there in the Bible this entire time.
This Law of Love through Christ Jesus is for everyone to walk upon in everything they do in life. All of the laws, all of the prophets, all of the doctrines and scriptures, all of them rest upon this for The Way, and now are the cornerstone for the New Times/Age/Era/Millennium/Earth (it makes no different what we call it, for all things are made New in Christ per Revelation 21:5).
Indeed, the New has already come in reconciliations, resurrections/rebirths, and restorations, like the fig tree budding as Jesus described to his disciples, and are aligned with my prophetic writings from way back in Winter 2011, almost a decade before the blaze of glory appeared in the skies, and as published in The Gospel of Joy:
…We must create in the light, with the intention of love and healing. We must question motives for all we do and intend to do everything out of love. If it does not glorify love [for God IS Love] then remove it from life. Anything not done in love is done in darkness, seek only love...
Now into this world comes an age of healing, showing the glory and the power of love. Each person must guard oneself against evil and sin until reconnecting with Christ within, thereafter becoming an expression of love into which evil cannot enter. There will be great turbulence in the world as this shift begins, with shaking and great joy like the prophecies in the scriptures.
Ultimately, wars will end. Harmony and diplomatic peace will be ushered in as people will want to help one another for a better world for all. Conflicts will resolve in healthier and mutually beneficial ways. Money will be useless; food will be so abundant that money systems will be obsolete. Healing will be done through the creative power and intent of love.
One day, the last bit of darkness will be destroyed, and Earth will be fully united with Heaven. All matter will be destroyed. The length of time it takes for this to occur brings Love the greatest glory and it will go on in eternity once the darkness is gone. The end of the world is here… and the world ends with Love.”
Happiest ever after, here we come for the greatest glory of Love throughout the Heavens and Earth in the name of The Way’s author, Christ Jesus of Nazareth who was sent by the Most High Righteous Holy One God of Love whom Jesus referred to as his Father in Heaven Who was Good.
May it be so, and so it is, Amen!
Namaste with Love and Blessed Be Your Joy!
Always,
Shannon
