"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly” (John 10:10).

#10-Final Things-Commands-The Day of the Lord, final judgment, last things said about a matter, things that are so, the end,

Last Things, Ends of Things and the Day of the Lord As we enter the tenth and last foundational step of God’s Redemption Plan, as Godly believers we are already caught up and waiting in a special place, while Jesus returns to Earth to judge and punish the unbelievers and, at the same time, returns to His Chosen People (Israel) one last time to show them He is Lord of Lords and King of Kings—the Messiah for whom they had awaited. Jesus desires to convince every Jew He is their Savior so they will finally come to Him, as He is always longed for them to do. The tenth part of the Redemption Plan has basic themes relating to things that are coming to an end, such as waiting for events to take place after ten days have elapsed. The number ten is also seen in reference to the last things in the list, such as the last of ten generations. Ten is often found related to passages speaking of complete groups or the total of many things by using words such as everyone, or all things, or everything.
