Jesus is coming immediately “after the tribulation.” These Scriptures explicitly show Jesus coming after the tribulation, not pre-trib, not mid-trib, but at the end of the age when the “tribulation” will end. When Jesus returns, that’s when all things will end and the Day of Judgment begins, which is the Day of the Lord, the wrath of God, this current world/age will end and the new world/age will begin. “Matthew 25”

Matthew 24:29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

Matthew 24:30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

Matthew 24:31 And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Mark 13:24 “But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light;

Mark 13:25 the stars of heaven will fall, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.

Mark 13:26 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.

Mark 13:27 And then He will send His angels, and gather together His elect from the four winds, from the farthest part of earth to the farthest part of heaven.

Matthew 13:39 and the enemy who sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the close of the age, and the reapers are angels.

Matthew 13:40 Just as the weeds are gathered and burned with fire, so will it be at the close of the age.

Matthew 13:49 So it will be at the close of the age. The angels will come out and separate the evil from the righteous,

Matthew 25:31 ¶”When the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne.

Matthew 25:32 Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate them one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats,

Matthew 25:33 and he will place the sheep at his right hand, but the goats at the left.

1Thessalonians 4:13 “But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

1Thessalonians 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

1Thessalonians 4:15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

1Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

1Thessalonians 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

1Thessalonians 4:18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.”

So I leave you with these words: Commit yourself fully, continue steadfast in Christ, and persevere and endure to the end, until the great Day of the Lord.

Philippians 1:6 “Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:”

So, with this, comfort one another with these words!

All praise and glory to God our Father and to Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour.

Scripture tells us how we receive knowledge and understanding of the truth of God’s word. Here are some Scriptures that will help you come to understand this.

Pray to God.

All praise and glory to God our Father and to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ!

“Remember me,” were the words of one of the thieves on the cross. Jesus replied, “Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.” This event has been much debated and used to explain why “water baptism” and the receiving of the “Holy Spirit” is not necessarily needed to be saved? Believers of this scenario also say that the thief could not be “born again”, i.e., “water baptised” because he was crucified, and therefore unable to be baptised and to receive the Holy Spirit. This belief misleads people into believing various types of theories of why the thief was saved without being water baptised and receiving the Holy Spirit. The water baptise naysayers use this in denying that water baptism is necessary for salvation. But when one thoroughly looks into Hebrews chapter 9, they will see the reason why the thief was saved without having to be baptised.

For example, if I had a “will,” and in that will contained my personal belongings that I would bequeath to family and friends upon my death, they could not be the beneficiaries until my death. The thief on the cross falls into this same scenario for one simple reason, the thief, was still “UNDER THE LAW” because Jesus, “had not died yet!” Also, the Holy Spirit was not yet given until the Day of Pentecost. The New Covenant could not go into effect until there is a death. Jesus had to die before the New Covenant took effect.

For the thief, Jesus not only represented a sin sacrifice for him, which according to the law, requires the bringing of your animal for your sin sacrifice, but also being the last sacrifice, once, for all people.

So you’ll find the Scriptural reason in Hebrews chapter nine, verses 16 and 17 for the reason why the thief on the cross was saved without having to be baptised.

To reiterate, the thief on the cross was still “under the law” because Jesus “had not died yet.” The New Covenant could not go into effect until Jesus died. The thief simply exhibited faith still being under the law, and that’s why the thief was saved without having to be water baptised and not receiving the Holy Spirit, as it was not yet given.

Hebrews 9:1 Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary.
Hebrews 9:2 For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary.
Hebrews 9:3 And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all;
Hebrews 9:4 Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;
Hebrews 9:5 And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly.
Hebrews 9:6 Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God.
Hebrews 9:7 But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people:
Hebrews 9:8 The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:
Hebrews 9:9 Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;
Hebrews 9:10 Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.

Hebrews 9:11 But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;

Hebrews 9:12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
Hebrews 9:13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:
Hebrews 9:14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
Hebrews 9:15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

Hebrews 9:16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.
Hebrews 9:17 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.

Hebrews 9:18 Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.

Hebrews 9:19 For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people,
Hebrews 9:20 Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.
Hebrews 9:21 Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.
Hebrews 9:22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
Hebrews 9:23 It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
Hebrews 9:24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:

Hebrews 9:25 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;
Hebrews 9:26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
