SALVATION'S PROVISION AND CONCLUSION IN SIX WORDS
"It Is Finished" -- "It Is Enough"
John 19:30 -- Genesis 45:28
Genesis 45 is one of the most moving chapters in the Bible! In it we see typified THE GREAT CONCLUSION of our Salvation at the Revelation of Christ. In three words uttered by Christ on the Cross we can see THE SPIRITUAL PROVISION of our Salvation, and in three words uttered by Jacob in Genesis 45:28 we can see THE ETERNAL CONCLUSION of our salvation.

01 -- SALVATION'S PROVISION AND CONCLUSION IN SIX WORDS
"It Is Finished" -- "It Is Enough"
John 19:30 -- Genesis 45:28
Genesis 45 is one of the most moving chapters in the Bible! In it we see typified THE GREAT CONCLUSION of our Salvation at the Revelation of Christ. In three words uttered by Christ on the Cross we can see THE SPIRITUAL PROVISION of our Salvation, and in three words uttered by Jacob in Genesis 45:28 we can see THE ETERNAL CONCLUSION of our salvation.

02 -- THE ETERNAL CONCLUSION OF OUR SALVATION -- "IT IS ENOUGH!"
In Genesis 45, there is a Beautiful, Typical Picture of "The Eternal Conclusion Of Our Salvation":
After being sold for 20 pieces of silver into Egyptian bondage (Christ was sold for 30 pieces of silver), you remember how 13 years later God raised Joseph to be 2nd only to Pharaoh in Egypt. Then, after 7 years of plenty and 2 years into the coming 7 years of famine, WHEN JOSEPH WAS AGE 39, his guilty brethren, who had rejected him, sold him into bondage, and presented his blood-stained garment, had come to buy corn in Egypt. I need not go into detail: -- You know how all of this typifies Israel's rejection and crucifixion of Christ.
THEN, GENESIS 45 TYPIFIES THE COMING REVELATION OF CHRIST to that Final Remnant of the Jews -- AFTER The "fulness of the Gentiles be come in" (Romans 11:25).
First: -- Joseph commanded, "Cause every man to go out from me," and he REVEALED HIMSELF TO HIS HUMBLED BRETHREN! Let me draw the picture as I see it to occur: -- On the Day of the Lord, just before His Revelation to the Entire World, JESUS IS GOING TO PRIVATELY REVEAL HIMSELF TO PENITENT ISRAEL.
If I am right, after a multitude of orthodox Jews see that anti-Christ has deceived them, they will pray earnestly for the Return of their True Messiah. THEN IT IS, that Jesus will miraculously show Himself to them -- PRIVATELY -- excluding all others on earth -- just as Joseph PRIVATELY revealed himself to his guilty brethren.
Privately, and DRAMATICALLY -- in Gen. 45:3 -- Joseph told his humbled brethren, "I AM JOSEPH." After their initial shock, Joseph wept a long while on Benjamin's neck, then kissed and wept on the other penitent 10 brethren. HERE WE SEE TYPIFIED THE PRIVATE REVELATION OF JESUS to penitent Israel, and their Forgiveness, New Birth, and Cleansing with His blood! "And so ALL ISRAEL SHALL BE SAVED: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob" (Romans 11:26).
With Jesus' bringing of the Final Remnant of Israel into the Church, soon thereafter "THE ETERNAL CONCLUSION OF OUR SALVATION" shall occur. He shall next Reveal Himself to The Whole World, and shortly thereafter forever put down all evil! However you interpret the timing of what occurs after "ALL OF SPIRITUAL ISRAEL IS SAVED," God is going to "wrap things up quickly," for Romans 9:28 tells us "He [Christ] will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because A SHORT WORK WILL THE LORD MAKE UPON THE EARTH."
As I see it, Genesis 45:28 typifies what shall soon occur after Christ's Revelation to the final remnant of the Jews. Happily Jacob was convinced that Joseph was yet alive, and was Reigning in Egypt -- and he said, "IT IS ENOUGH"!
Here, as I see it, we can see "THE ETERNAL CONCLUSION OF OUR SALVATION"!
After "ALL ISRAEL IS SAVED" -- (MEANING AFTER ALL OF BOTH JEWS AND GENTILES ARE SAVED WHO EVER SHALL BE SAVED!):--
I HEAR JESUS SAYING to All: -- "IT IS ENOUGH"! Hear Him address:
TIME: -- "IT IS ENOUGH" -- you are done, for Time shall be no longer!
SATAN:-- "IT IS ENOUGH" -- I let you do as you did throughout Time, but MR. DEVIL, YOU ARE THROUGH -- FOREVER! Depart from Me into the Everlasting Flames prepared for you and all of your fellow demons!
SAINT OF GOD:-- "IT IS ENOUGH" -- Throughout Time, I allowed the sufferings of the curse to bring you pain, suffering, sickness, sighing, along with the temptations and fiery darts of the devil -- but, MY DEAR CHILD, "IT IS ENOUGH"! Now, FOREVER, you shall be forever free from all of this -- with ME, with My Holy Angels, and with all of the millions of your fellow, bloodwashed Children of God -- IN THE NEW HEAVENS AND NEW EARTH WHEREIN DWELLETH RIGHTEOUSNESS!
"Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world" (Matthew 25:34)!

03 -- IN CLOSING
There, as I see it, in 6 words, "IT IS FINISHED" AND "IT IS ENOUGH" -- we see the "SPIRITUAL PROVISION" and "ETERNAL CONCLUSION" of our "GREAT SALVATION"!
Beyond Christ's announcement at Calvary, "It Is Finished", nothing more needed to be done to save every lost child of Adam, and Adam himself!
Beyond Christ's pronouncement after His Revelation, "IT IS ENOUGH", not one more soul shall ever be saved! -- All who have failed to obtain His saving grace before that time shall be forever lost! DON'T BE ONE OF SUCH!
Beyond Christ's pronouncement "IT IS ENOUGH" to His Children, not one saint shall ever fall from His grace or be removed from his place IN THE NEW JERUSALEM!
In closing, I present AN "ETERNAL" ALTERATION of two verses of J. M. Kirk's song, "Our Lord's Return To Earth Again":
"I am watching for the coming of the glad Eternal Day,
When our blessed Lord shall come and catch His waiting Bride away!
Oh, my heart is filled with rapture as I labor watch and pray,
For our Lord is coming back to earth again!
"Then the sin and sorrow, pain and death of this dark world shall cease,
In a glorious reign with Jesus in eternal joy and peace!
All the earth is GROANING, CRYING FOR THAT DAY OF SWEET RELEASE
When our Jesus shall come back to earth again!
Oh, our Lord is coming back to earth again,
Yes, our Lord is coming back to earth again!
SATAN WILL BE BOUND ETERNALLY!
WE'LL HAVE NO TEMPTER THEN!
After Jesus shall come back to earth again!
My Beloved and Precious Brethren: -- You need not agree with my views as I have set them forth in my book, HDM0124, "His Appearing and His Kingdom" (2 Timothy 4:1), but, I invite you to read it prayerfully and thoughtfully. If you still do not agree with Duane Maxey, NO PROBLEM! -- so long as we ARE and REMAIN prepared for Christ's Return -- which, by the way, I believe might occur NOW! -- Duane V. Maxey, December 29, 2015
