The Lord is truly Coming for His people!
Man's civilization is coming to an end.
The Lord is truly Coming for His people!
“The Rapture” will reveal the Presence of Jesus
Christ in the air, when His betrothed will see Him, and He will "call her
away."
Jesus said:
"Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs
get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. Even so, when
you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door. I tell
you the Truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these
things have happened. Heaven and earth will pass away, but My Words will never
pass away.
Matt 24:32-35 NIV
All the ungodly who die, will be a part of "the
resurrection of condemnation" (John 5:29)—everyone whose name is not found
written in the Lamb’s Book of Life will be cast into “the lake of fire” (Rev. 20:15).
Those who have ‘fallen asleep in Christ’ will hear
the Voice of the Son of God at “the Resurrection,” and they will be raised up,
then, all who are alive at the Coming of the Lord, will not precede ‘those who
have fallen asleep,’ but will be ‘caught up’ together with them in the clouds
to meet the Lord in the air (read John 5:25; 1 Thess. 4:15-17).
Their "labor" in the Lord shall not be in
vain!
“The First Resurrection” is the Resurrection of Life
(5:29).
'The Hope of the Resurrection' is anchored on
"the Coming of the Lord."
Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who fall
asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men, who have no hope. We believe that
Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those
who have fallen asleep in Him.
1 Thess 4:13-14 NIV
Christ is “the Firstfruits of those who have fallen
asleep”
But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the Firstfruits
of those who have fallen asleep.
1 Cor 15:20 NIV
But each in his own turn: Christ, the Firstfruits; then, when He
comes, those who belong to him (v.23) NIV
At the Resurrection, He will call with the Voice of
the Archangel, and with the trump of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise
first (I Thess. 4:16).
At His Ascension, He was taken up, and a cloud
received Him into the heavens (Acts 1:9); also, when He is revealed in the
clouds, "we who are alive and remain" shall be caught up in the
clouds to meet Him (I Thess. 4:17).
By the Resurrection of Christ Jesus from the dead,
He proclaimed Light to His own people and to the Gentiles—for He is the First
to rise from the dead. In First Peter 3 is stated,
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which
according to His abundant Mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by
the Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
To an inheritance
incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in Heaven for
you,
Who are kept by the Power of God through faith unto salvation
ready to be revealed in the last time.
1 Peter 1:3-5 KJV
In First Thessalonians 5, we are also admonished to
be prepared, sober, watching and waiting for the sudden return of the Lord.
But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that
I write unto you.
For yourselves know perfectly that the Day of the Lord so cometh
as a thief in the night.
For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction
cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not
escape.
But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should
overtake you as a thief.
Ye are all the children of Light, and the children of the Day:
we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and
be sober.
For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken
are drunken in the night.
But let us, who are of the Day, be sober, putting on the
breastplate of Faith and Love; and for an helmet, the Hope of Salvation.
For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain Salvation
by our Lord Jesus Christ,
Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live
together with him.
Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another,
even as also ye do.
1 Thess 5:1-11 KJV
At “the Rapture” ‘those who have fallen asleep in
Christ’ will hear the Voice of the Son of God, and they will be raised up,
then, all who are alive at the Coming of the Lord, will not precede ‘those who
have fallen asleep,’ but will be ‘caught up’ together with them in the clouds
to meet the Lord in the air.
But in the gathering of “the Elect” all 144, 000 of
them will be alive on earth, and will be whisked from the earth.
