JANUARY 2024
With the close of 2023 we witnessed much of God's word of promise on the Nation and people of Israel. It is a serious reminder that God keeps His word from generation to generation and that His warnings are as important to those who are indifferent as His promises are to His faithful disciples.
The history of the Nation of Israel serves as a constant reminder in the face of one missing the day of his visitation which Biblical Scripture through the Gospel of Luke makes clear
41 When He approached Jerusalem, He saw the city and wept over it, 42 saying, “If you had known in this day, even you, the things which make for peace! But now they have been hidden from your eyes. 43 For the days will come upon you when your enemies will throw up a barricade against you, and surround you and hem you in on every side, 44 and they will level you to the ground and your children within you, and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation.” Luke 19:41-44 (NASB)
Having rejected Christ as their promised Messiah, that unbelieving generation which continues even to today, that Nation of Israel forfeited their promised Kingdom. Those kingdom promises therefore, belong to a future generation of believing Israel.
Christ is coming back to execute judgement on this unbelieving world and reclaim that which belongs to Him both by creation right as well as by inheritance given Him by the Father. That judgement is called the great tribulation of Daniel's 70th week of years. Daniel 9, 12. This period, also known as Jacobs Distress will bring a remnant of Israel to its promised blessing of the New Covenant (Ezekiel and 36:24-28 and Jeremiah 31:31-34 and Romans 11:26)
The important consideration for today is that we, in this age known as the church age, we have opportunity of visitation. Not only is this the day for repentance and salvation it is a time of opportunity to be known by Christ
21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. 22 Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’ Matthew 7:21-23 (NASB)

This is an excellent class for understanding or review of Gods prophetic calendar of events that take us through His redemption plan from the Garden of Eden through to the consummation of this age and into His kingdom here on earth populated only by a people redeemed by the blood of the lamb. A people for His own possession prepared for the eternal state in an entirely new heaven and new earth. This program of redemption is clearly outlined in great detail from Genesis to Revelation and has been clearly presented for over 2000 years and is nothing new to careful students of Biblical Scripture. Join the class for a panoramic review of what the Bible has clearly declared for over two millennia
MARANATHA !

SPRING - SUMMER 2022
The Spring and Summer session here at AURBI was an exciting and blessed time of classroom study and fellowship. With the completion of the initial class OUR TRIUNE GOD in the current series of studies being offered that deal with Gods program and purpose of creation the following classes were completed, WHO SHALL ASCEND THE MOUNTAIN OF THE LORD, Part 1 and 2 and three classes in GENESIS. Enrollment and participation were up in the Genesis classes and a solid foundation was laid for our understanding of the Fall of man and the Purpose, Plan and Destination of Gods program of redemption. These and the classes to follow are offered as an opportunity to let God speak through His Word, the Biblical Scripture, as they are obviously self-explanatory. The intention therefore is to review and remind those He has redeemed and those He is redeeming where He is taking us. This plan of courses is in addition to any ETA classes anyone may desire to enroll in for ETA credit (ETA does charge for ETA credits) or certification.
Thanking God for His faithfulness and grace in leading us through His unchanging, life nourishing Word.
BLESSINGS!
SUMMER 2021
With the recent events of the last couple of years both on the political scene as well as in the religious world it is quite unavoidable to notice many similarities between these events and the Biblical warnings of worldwide conditions just before the return of Christ.
Much has been written and discussed on the subject in private circles and on the web but the truth is ultimately found only in the Biblical account of these soon occurring events and further, the record remains unchanged for some 2000 years. Events we see unfolding today are identical to the events described in Biblical Scripture as "birth pangs" of preparation for HIS RETURN.
Probably the most profound and sobering truth revealed in the whole course of approaching events is that not only non-believers but a vast majority of professing believers across the global spectrum will be caught unprepared which will bring them rapidly into the seven-year tribulation of God's poured out wrath upon unrepentant people who take lightly the warnings of Christ found throughout the Biblical narrative.
The overriding truth set forth in Scripture for the events of the seven-year tribulation, known as "the time of Jacobs distress" Jeremiah 30:7 which begins at the "the end of the times of the Gentiles" Luke 21:24; Romans 11:25 rests in the fact that Christ returns to reclaim that which belongs to Him both as Creator and Redeemer. The inheritance given Him by the Father, He returns to reclaim. Thus, at the conclusion of the preparation for His return He establishes His throne (of David) in Jerusalem from which He rules the earth with a rod of iron for a millennium.
It is our desire here at AURBI to maintain an awareness of these coming events and to remind and equip true followers of Christ to stand firm in their faith in Christ as their redeemer in their daily walk.
Jesus called His followers friends because He told them what He was going to do before it happened. The wise and faithful follower redeems the time he has been allotted in staying alert and undefiled by the worlds evil either until Christ returns or Christ's faithful follower falls asleep in physical death...
Blessings!
