Jesus Exalts The Humble And The Poor Quickly

     Notice the picture above of a deer or young hart making haste upon the mountains. This deer like the Lord Jesus is making haste and soon will appear in the air to deliver the christians from this troubled world during the rapture. Song of Solomon 8:14 says Make haste, my beloved (Lord Jesus), and be thou like to a roe or to a young hart upon the mountains of spices. The Lord Jesus is like the deer pictured above leaping for joy and rejoicing to soon save all christians from this troubled world. Song of Solomon 2:8 says The voice of my beloved (Lord Jesus), behold, He cometh leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills. The Lord Jesus will make haste like a deer and come quickly to deliver christians from this troubled world during the rapture. 

     Revelation 22:20 says He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. Everything in nature praises the Lord Jesus who will come quickly and bring peace to this earth. Isaiah 55:12 says For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. The birds in the mountains and the hills are singing praises to the Lord Jesus. The branches of the trees are clapping their hands in the wind while they praise the Lord Jesus. 

     When the Lord Jesus returns during the millennium, the mountains and little hills will rejoice and skip like rams and lambs. Psalm 114:6 says Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs? Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob.

     Everything in nature should praise the Lord Jesus. Psalm 148:7 says Praise the Lord from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps: Fire, and hail, snow, and vapours; stormy wind fulfilling HIs word: Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars: Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl: Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the earth: Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children: Let them praise the name of the Lord (Jesus): for His name alone is excellent; His glory is above the earth and heaven.

     Jesus will exalt the humble and the poor quickly. 1 Samuel 2:8 says He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lord's, and He hath set the world upon them. Isaiah 45:3 says And I (the Lord Jesus) will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the Lord, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel. Zacharias said at Luke 1:78 Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us, To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace. 

     The Lord Jesus owns everything and can bless you greater than any billionaire on this earth. The Lord Jesus told us at Psalm 50:10 For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills. I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine. If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof. Ephesians 3:20 says Now unto Him (the Lord Jesus) that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us. Unto Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

     The Word of God tells us that a little with the peace and contentment from Jesus and God's Word is better than the riches of many wicked. Psalm 37:16 says A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked. Proverbs 15:16 says Better is little with the fear of the Lord than great treasure and trouble therewith. Proverbs 16:8 says Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right. Remember little is much when God is in it. One person plus Jesus is more powerful than the mightiest army on this earth. Romans 8:31 says What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

     Left click the picture above to view a blessed painting at the Sistine Chapel in Italy by Botticelli (1445-1510) called The Temptations of Jesus Christ. In the top left we see the Lord Jesus being tempted by the devil while fasting in the wilderness for forty days. The devil tells the Lord Jesus at Matthew 4:3 If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread, But He (the Lord Jesus) answered, and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

     In the top center the devil and the Lord Jesus stand on the roof of a temple. The devil challenges the Lord Jesus to let Himself fall because surely He will be caught by angels. Matthew 4:5 says Then the devil taketh him (the Lord Jesus) up into the holy city, and setteth Him on a pinnacle of the temple, And saith unto Him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

     On the top right the devil and the Lord Jesus are on a high cliff. The devil offers the Lord Jesus all the kingdoms in the world. Matthew 4:8 says Again, the devil taketh Him (the Lord Jesus) up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth Him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; And saith unto Him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and Him only shalt thou serve. After the devil left the Lord Jesus, notice the angels in the picture above ministering strength to the Lord Jesus. Matthew 4:11 says Then the devil leaveth Him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto Him.

     The main part of the fresco shows an offering. It probably is the sacrifice offered by a leper to the priest after he was healed by the Lord Jesus at Matthew 8:2. And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped Him (the Lord Jesus), saying Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. And Jesus put forth His hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.  

     Jesus will exalt the humble and the poor quickly. Jesus said at John 16:22 And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you. The Lord Jesus will see us all again soon and we all will rejoice with everlasting joy that no man will ever take away from us. Revelation 21:3 says And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

     Remember, the things of this world are only temporary. Build up treasure in heaven where a thief can never steal your treasure. Mark 10:21 tells us how to build up treasure in heaven. Mark 10:21 says when we bless and give to the poor we build up treasure in heaven. Jesus said One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven (defined as storehouse): and come, take up the cross, and follow me. 

     Everything in this world will burn up with fire but the Lord Jesus and the Word of God will last forever. Choose the Lord Jesus, give to the poor, deny this world, and witness Jesus everywhere. Don't waste your time on the trifling pleasures of this world. Instead tell somebody how to get saved with the Lord Jesus. Get saved, repent, decide to stop sinning, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died on the cross for you, was buried, and rose again.
