Salvation Quota

John 14:2King James Version (KJV)
2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

Heaven is a real place. Jesus is preparing heaven. 

But not many have entered heaven.

There will be a rapture. Two will walk together; one will be taken, one will be left behind. 

But when is the rapture is going to come?

We have now encountered the spirit of the anti-Christ. The world is showing that the signs of the anti-Christ is everywhere.

But we haven't yet seen THE Anti-Christ.

The church is thriving. But satan is having a revival as well.

We are to run; not stand still.

The world is spiralling down. Nevertheless we have to continue to save souls.

But we cannot predict the hour, the month, the year of the rapture.

Jesus has chosen not to know so that we can pretend to know.

There is nobody more important than Christ.

Romans 11:25-36New International Version (NIV)
All Israel Will Be Saved

25 I do not want you to be ignorant of this *mystery*, brothers and sisters, so that you may not be *conceited*: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in, 26 and in this way all Israel will be saved. As it is written:

“The deliverer will come from Zion;
he will turn godlessness away from Jacob.
27 And this is my covenant with them
when I take away their sins.”

28 As far as the gospel is concerned, they are enemies for your sake; but as far as election is concerned, they are loved on account of the patriarchs, 29 for God’s gifts and his call are irrevocable. 30 Just as you who were at one time disobedient to God have now received mercy as a result of their disobedience,31 so they too have now become disobedient in order that they too may now[d] receive mercy as a result of God’s mercy to you.32 For God has bound everyone over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all.

Doxology

33 Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and[e]knowledge of God!
How unsearchable his judgments,
and his paths beyond tracing out!
34 “Who has known the mind of the Lord?
Or who has been his counselor?”
35 “Who has ever given to God,
that God should repay them?”
36 For from him and through him and for him are all things.
To him be the glory forever! Amen.


Vv25-30
There is God's mystery behind your success and circumstances.

Don't be conceited. Else you will be blinded. Everything that God had put in your hands will someday vanish. Nothing you achieve will even impress Him. To Christ, human lives matter the most.

Christ died not for your property, your promotion, your bank account, nor your temporal pleasures. Christ died for you and through you, for others around you.

Rapture will take place after the salvation quota for non-Jews is satisfied for the sake of no longer delaying the Jewish revival.

God has blessed Israel with tourism and prosperity. But the Jewish race is not all believers in Christ. Their hearts are not for Him.

If the other nations are coming into the kingdom in an unprecedented manner, God is saddened at the state of disbelief among the Jewish community (some people of Israel have hard hearts).

If Malaysia procrastinated, God shall not wait for Malaysians to come into His kingdom.

You can reserve a seat in church, but you cannot reserve a seat in the kingdom of heaven. Someone else can take your place. It makes it harder for your unbelieving parent to enter. It makes it even harder for a backslidden believer to enter.

Therefore, procrastinate no more. Be ever so diligent in whatever work that God has entrusted you to do. Be a channel or vessel to influence many and bring the gospel to as many as you can.

God will not wait for Malaysia. God will not wait for your family members. Because many others are coming into His kingdom. 

Every soul saved, one quota less.

God sent His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life. 

Now, God is sending you to reap the final harvest.

Then the end will come. It could be today or tomorrow. It is when the salvation quota for the non-Jews is achieved.

The path towards heaven is getting narrower. As God is in a rush for Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and their descendants, I have to be in a rush for my own descendants.

Vv31-34
You and I have been chosen and saved for the sake of the disobedients around you.

God also loves your partners in crime.

Now through your obedience, they will receive salvation. They will receive mercy through you.

But most times, when one gets saved, he alone gets satisfied.

All your family, friends and enemies are all in a covenant with God.

Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness. Think like God does. Don't think like humans do.

God will not judge you by how much you have achieved in the material world. He wants you to understand His mystery.

V36
For from Him, and through Him, and to Him, are all things: to whom be glory forever. Amen.

We have not done anything to deserve the salvation of our soul. All we can offer to Him is our thanksgiving. As sinners we got saved. Everything we are and have come from Him and through Him. Got God what is not yet His. Don't be a "for Him and through Him" Christian.

Jesus died to give us a headstart. Every lost soul, every prodigal son coming home is precious to Him.

He is the most reliable and most believable.

Challenge yourself to be a "to Him and to Him" Christian.

Show how people can see your allegiance and your excellence.

Whatever car you own now, you and I will end up in the same car--an ambulance.

Stand up for your nation and your family.
