Philip, A Disciple Of Jesus Christ, Just As, We Are

John 1:43-44

The Following Day, Jesus Wanted To Go, To Galilee, And HE Found Philip, And Said To Him, “FOLLOW ME.” Now, Philip Was From Bethsaida, The City Of Andrew And Peter. Philip Found Nathanael, And Said To Him, “We Have Found HIM, Of Whom, Moses, IN The Law, And Also, The Prophets, Wrote, Jesus Of Nazareth, The Son Of Joseph.”

John 14:1-11

Jesus Answered Him (Peter), “LET NOT YOUR HEART, BE TROUBLED; YOU BELIEVE, IN GOD (GOD Almighty), BELIEVE ALSO, IN ME (Jesus). IN MY FATHER’S HOUSE (i.e. Heaven), ARE MANY MANSIONS; IF IT WERE NOT SO, I WOULD HAVE TOLD YOU. I GO TO PREPARE A PLACE, FOR YOU (IN Heaven). AND IF I GO AND PREPARE A PLACE, FOR YOU (IN Heaven), I WILL COME AGAIN (At The Being Caught Up Together), AND RECEIVE YOU, TO MYSELF; THAT WHERE I (Jesus) AM, THERE (IN Heaven), YOU (i.e. Fellow Believers) MAY BE, ALSO. AND WHERE I GO (i.e. Into Heaven), YOU KNOW, AND THE WAY (i.e. By Acknowledging GOD Almighty’s Amazing Saving GRACE And By Accepting GOD Almighty’s FREE GIFT Of SALVATION), YOU KNOW.”

Thomas Said To HIM, “LORD, We Do NOT Know, Where YOU Are Going, And How Can We Know, THE WAY?”

Jesus Said To Him (Thomas), “I AM, THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE! NO ONE COMES, TO THE FATHER (GOD Almighty), EXCEPT, THROUGH ME (Jesus)!”

“IF YOU HAD KNOWN ME, YOU WOULD HAVE KNOWN MY FATHER (GOD Almighty) ALSO; AND FROM NOW ON, YOU KNOW HIM, AND HAVE SEEN HIM!”

Philip Said To HIM (Jesus), “LORD, SHOW Us, THE FATHER (GOD Almighty), And It Is Sufficient, For Us.”

Jesus Said To Him, “HAVE I BEEN WITH YOU, SO LONG, AND YET, YOU HAVE NOT KNOWN ME, PHILIP? HE, WHO HAS SEEN ME (Jesus), HAS SEEN THE FATHER (GOD Almighty); SO, HOW CAN YOU SAY, ‘SHOW US THE FATHER (GOD Almighty)’? DO YOU NOT BELIEVE, THAT I AM, IN THE FATHER, AND THE FATHER, IN ME? THE WORDS, THAT I SPEAK, TO YOU, I DO NOT SPEAK, ON MY OWN AUTHORITY; BUT, THE FATHER (GOD Almighty), WHO DWELLS, IN ME (Jesus), DOES THE WORKS! BELIEVE ME, THAT I AM, IN THE FATHER, AND THE FATHER, IN ME; OR ELSE, BELIEVE ME, FOR THE SAKE Of THE WORKS, THEMSELVES.”

Acts 8:4-8

Therefore Those (i.e. Jesus’ Disciples And Followers), Who Were Scattered, Went Everywhere, Preaching THE WORD (The Holy Bible, AND Specifically, The Gospel Of Jesus Christ). THEN, Philip Went Down, To The City Of Samaria, And Preached Christ, To Them. And The Multitudes, With One Accord, Heeded THE THINGS, Spoken By Philip, Hearing And Seeing The Miracles, Which He Did. For Unclean Spirits (i.e. Demons), Crying With A Loud Voice, Came Out Of Many, Who Were Possessed; And Many, Who Were Paralyzed And Lame, Were Healed. And There Was Great Joy, IN That City.

Acts 8:26-40

Now, An ANGEL Of THE LORD (GOD Almighty) Spoke To Philip, Saying, “Arise And Go Toward The South, Along The Road, Which Goes Down, From Jerusalem To Gaza.” This Is Desert. So, He (Philip) Arose And Went. And Behold, A Man Of Ethiopia, A Eunuch Of Great Authority, Under Candace, The Queen Of The Ethiopians, Who Had Charge Of All Her Treasury, And Had Come To Jerusalem, To Worship, Was Returning. And Sitting, IN His Chariot, He (The Eunuch) Was Reading Isaiah, The Prophet. THEN, THE SPIRIT (The Holy Spirit), Said To Philip, “Go Near And Overtake This Chariot.”

So, Philip Ran To Him (The Eunuch), And Heard Him, Reading The Prophet Isaiah, And Said, “Do YOU Understand What YOU Are Reading?” And He (The Eunuch) Said, “How Can I, Unless Someone GUIDES Me?” And He Asked Philip, To Come Up And Sit, With Him.

The Place, IN THE SCRIPTURE (i.e. The Holy Bible), Which He Read, Was THIS: “HE Was Led, As A Sheep, TO The Slaughter; And As A Lamb, Before Its Shearer, IS Silent, So, HE Opened NOT HIS Mouth. IN HIS Humiliation, HIS Justice, Was Taken Away; And Who Will Declare HIS Generation? FOR HIS LIFE IS TAKEN, From The Earth.”

SO, The Eunuch Answered Philip, And Said, “I Ask YOU, Of Whom, Does The Prophet (Isaiah), Say THIS, Of Himself (i.e. Isaiah), OR Of Some Other Man?” THEN, Philip Opened His Mouth, And Beginning, AT THIS SCRIPTURE, Preached Jesus, To Him (The Eunuch). NOW, As They (i.e. Philip And The Eunuch) Went Down The Road, They Came To Some Water. And The Eunuch Said, “See, HERE IS Water. What Hinders Me, From Being Baptized?”

THEN, Philip Said, “IF YOU BELIEVE, With All Your Heart, YOU May.”

And He (The Eunuch) Answered, And Said, “I BELIEVE, THAT JESUS CHRIST IS, THE SON Of GOD (GOD Almighty)!”

SO, He (The Eunuch) Commanded, The Chariot, To Stand Still. And Both, Philip And The Eunuch, Went Down Into The Water, And He (Philip) Baptized Him (The Eunuch).

Now, When They Came Up Out Of The Water, THE SPIRIT Of THE LORD (The Holy Spirit) CAUGHT PHILIP AWAY, So That, The Eunuch Saw Him (Philip), NO More; And He (The Eunuch) Went On His Way, Rejoicing. BUT Philip, Was Found At Azotus. And Passing Through, He (Philip) Preached, IN All The Cities, Till He Came To Caesarea.

Fellow Believers, Did YOU Happen To Notice, That Philip, Himself, Experienced, Being Snatched Away, By The Holy Spirit; Just As, We Will Experience, Being Snatched Away, By Jesus, Himself, At The Being Caught Up Together.

1 Corinthians 15:51-53

Behold, I Tell YOU (Fellow Believers) A Mystery (Something Once KNOW, BUT Now, Forgotten): We (Pre-Tribulation Believers) Shall NOT All Sleep (i.e. Die A Physical Death Of The Natural Body); BUT We (Pre-Tribulation Believers) Shall All, BE CHANGED (An Instantaneous Supernatural CHANGE, Into Our Spiritual Bodies); IN A Moment, IN The Twinkling Of An Eye (IN A Millisecond), AT THE LAST (Blowing Of The) TRUMPET!

For THE TRUMPET (Of GOD Almighty) Will SOUND, And THE DEAD (Pre-Tribulation Dead Believers) Will Be RAISED (ALIVE), INCORRUPTIBLE (IN Their Spiritual Bodies), And We (Pre-Tribulation LIVING Believers) Shall BE CHANGED (An Instantaneous Supernatural CHANGE, Into Our Spiritual Bodies).

For THIS Corruptible (The Natural Body) MUST Put On INCORRUPTION (The Spiritual Body); And THIS Mortal (The Natural Body) MUST Put On IMMORTALITY (The Spiritual Body)!

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

FOR THE LORD (Jesus), HIMSELF, WILL DESCEND, FROM HEAVEN, WITH A SHOUT, WITH THE VOICE Of AN ARCHANGEL, AND WITH THE TRUMPET Of GOD (GOD Almighty)!

And THE DEAD IN CHRIST (Pre-Tribulation Dead Believers) Will RISE (ALIVE, IN Their Spiritual Bodies), First. THEN We (Pre-Tribulation LIVING Believers), Who Are Alive AND Remain, Shall Be (Instantaneously, Supernaturally CHANGED, Into Our Spiritual Bodies, And THEN) CAUGHT UP TOGETHER, With Them (Pre-Tribulation Dead Believers), IN The Clouds (i.e. Far Above The Earth), TO MEET THE LORD (Jesus), IN The Air (And Be Taken, Into Heaven, By Jesus, Himself). And Thus, We (Pre-Tribulation Dead Believers And Pre-Tribulation LIVING Believers) Shall Always Be, With THE LORD (Jesus).

Fellow Believers, We KNOW, Jesus Christ ABIDES WITHIN Us, THROUGH The Holy Spirit; Therefore, Jesus Christ WALKS WITH Us, The Holy Spirit TEACHES Us, AND Most Importantly, GOD Almighty WATCHES OVER Us, Always.

Remember, The Being Caught Up Together, IS IMMINENT!

May OUR LORD Jesus Christ, Find YOU, Going About THE FATHER’S Business, Which IS, Sharing The Gospel Of Jesus Christ, As A Good And Faithful Servant! Amen.
