There is a day approaching that is going to alter the lives of every person on this planet, and I personally believe that day will occur before the Rapture.
I believe I can say this with assuredness because of so many who are waiting for that day, and the belief they have that when an event takes place that will affect nearly everyone, that will be the sign for them, of His imminent return in the air to call those who have been born-again home.
“And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.” (Luke 21:28)
It has happened in nearly every war scenario, but only in those places that saw the bombs fall, it happened at the onset of the supposed pandemic, and it will happen again, perhaps more than once. The chaff and the wheat are tossed into the air more than once my friends, and the chaff has always been, in part, those who fulfill Matthew 15:8.
“This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.”
The unrepentant and those whose hearts are far from Him will in their own way repeat 2nd Peter 3:4.
“And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.”
Each time those “earth shattering events” do not produce their desired result, the Rapture. I also personally believe that in part, this is a fulfilling of 2nd Thessalonians 2:11.
“And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:”
To wait for something for so long and to be denied it over and over again can have only two possible outcomes, doubt or continued hope, and my friends, to attempt to determine the timeline of the Almighty in this respect will only lead you to doubts.
When the people were positive that when the Lord Jesus Christ entered into Jerusalem, when they cast their outer garments and palm leaves on the path, that the Kingdom of God would suddenly appear and the rule of the Romans over them would end, and it did not, many stopped following Him. Those who continued with Him understood in time the truth of John 12:25.
“He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.”
I ask this question of you then, what possible difference would it make to you when the Rapture occurred if your life is already forfeited to the Living God, why search for that continuously which should make no difference to you when it appears?
And I ask another question of you, do you look forward to your death with as much zeal and enthusiasm as you do the Rapture?
Now the mark has been hit, hasn’t it?
“For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” (Phil. 1:21)
There may be a major, yet limited, thermonuclear war, and the Rapture will not happen. There may be civil unrest unlike anything anyone alive has ever seen, and that blessed moment may not occur. Famines, unprecedented deaths because of the lack of food, martial law imposed, strictly enforced limited travel, sporadic and extremely limited information, and still no Rapture.
How many times are you willing to be tossed into the air with the chaff? How much suffering, far beyond some minor inconveniences, to the point of your very life being in danger, are you willing to accept?
And if even a small part of this short letter proves to be truth, will you still seek His face, praise His name, search for the lost amongst the wicked? Will you fulfill Matthew 24:46.
“Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.”
Satan is doing all within his power to cause anxiety and despair, our efforts to bring the news of eternal love should be no less important to us.
“Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.” (James 1:27)
They are living in fear, ease their fears with the promises you know to be real.
