The Rapture

November 17th – Revelation 14:6

Revelation14:6

I am thankful Thant God gives everyone an opportunity to receive the saving Gospel of Jesus Christ 

One of the most loving things God does is not give up on us. For He is the God of second, third, and fourth chances. So much so, He gives us ample opportunity to hear and receive the saving gospel of Jesus Christ. You’d think after the rapture, when believers are taken from the earth, God would say, “That’s it. You had a chance. Now suffer the consequences.” But our Heavenly Father wishes for none to perish. And so even during the tribulation, God sends an angel to proclaim the Good News. Everyone on the earth will hear the only message that provides eternal life. Because of His great love, God gives every person one last opportunity to choose life over death. To turn to the Lord and experience a peace, joy, and perfect love for eternity. Afterwards, there will be no more excuses other than a hardened heart. But sadly, because they love sin more than God, some will still reject the gospel, choosing death and destruction.

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

I am thankful when all have heard the gospel, Jesus will return for His bride

Knowing Jesus was about to leave and return to the Father, let the disciples discouraged. Yet Jesus comforted them saying that He went to prepare a place where all who love Him will dwell with Him forever. (John 14:1-3) And when the time was right, Christ would return for His church. This wonderful event is known as the rapture. A time when we will hear the Lord’s call. And in the twinkling of an eye, we who are living will join those who have already passed in the sky. Together we will receive new, glorified bodies and be with the Lord forever! How awesome is that! And what’s truly exciting is there is no Bible prophecy that has to be fulfilled for the rapture to happen. When the last person has had a chance to hear the saving message of Jesus, He will return to bring us home!  It could literally happen at any  moment! So “lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.” (Luke 21:28)

September 4th – 2 Thessalonians 3:3

2 Thessalonians 3:3

Bible prophecy is being fulfilled at record speed before our very eyes. And many Bible scholars believe we are indeed living in the last days. Everyone can feel a shift happening. Christians are keeping their eyes on the skies, for they know their redemption draws near. Believers who may have put God on the back burner are now seeking Him with renewed interest. Even the secular world has become fascinated with what the Bible says about Armageddon. And as the return of the Lord grows closer, times will grow more evil. The fiery darts of the Enemy will fly fast and furious. For Satan knows he is living on borrowed time, and wants to inflict as much damage as he can. But like Paul, no matter how dark the world grows before the glorious dawn, we needn’t fear. Because the Lord is faithful. And until the time He calls us home, He will protect, provide, and bring good from bad.

Matthew 16:27

Matthew Henry once said, “A true disciple of Christ is one that does  follow Him in duty, and shall follow him to glory.” Before Jesus ascended to be with the Father, He left instructions that all who follow Him must take up His Cross. That means we not only continue in His work of spreading the gospel, but also share in His sufferings. For the Devil protects His own. And as the world hated Jesus, it will also hate those who love Him. Like Jesus, we too will face persecution, hatred, and some may even lose their lives. But worldly circumstances are nothing compared to the glory that awaits those who endure until Christ’s return. And on that illustrious day when the Son of Man returns, He will wipe away every tear, and reward every good work!

Luke 21:34

Did you know that the rapture could occur at any time? There is no prophecy that has to be fulfilled, nor definite sign marking the day and the hour. Jesus could literally call us home at any moment. Before He ascended to the right hand of the Father, Jesus told the disciples about His soon return. And until that time they were to stay aware and be ready. Jesus gives us that same warning. We too are to be spiritually alert and ready. And until that glorious day, we should be living productive lives focused on working and advancing God’s kingdom. Our goal is to take with us as many as we can on that wonderful trip to meet our Savior in the sky!
