Matthew 24:39
King James Version
39 And knew not until the flood came,
and took them all away;
so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Ever heard of the "Rapture"?
I heard of it through the "Left Behind" books of LaHaye and Jenkins.
Then GOD makes me born again in September 2019.
On 14 January 2020, JESUS alerted me to the Rapture.
The words He made me pay attention to were:
Matthew 24:40
King James Version
40 Then shall two be in the field;
the one shall be taken,
and the other left.
Today, world population is at least 8.2 billion.
If the Rapture were to happen, that means there will be 4.1 billion people left, and the other half gone, in an INSTANT.
That is, if we were to take that verse literally.
But, of course, we're over-simplifying it.
A true born again knows we will be up in the clouds with JESUS.
Ephesians 2:8-9
King James Version
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith;
and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
But of the day, and the hour, only GOD knows.
Matthew 24:36
King James Version
36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man,
no, not the angels of heaven,
but my Father only.
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
King James Version
16 For the Lord himself
shall descend from heaven
with a shout,
with the voice of the archangel,
and with the trump of God:
and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain
shall be caught up together with them in the clouds,
to meet the Lord in the air:
and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
That's why I know it's urgent.
That's why I know I have to warn you.
And write about it, and prepare you.
That's why we wrote these Rapture articles for you.
I'm telling you all these now because perhaps, your focus is on the wrong things.
Your mind, heart, body, and spirit are probably occupied with worldly things.
With face, fame, and fortune.
With pride, possessions, and power.
With war, woke, and worldliness.
With vice, vanity, and vile stuff.
Instead, we must focus on JESUS, the SON of GOD.
Colossians 3:1-5
King James Version
3 If ye then be risen with Christ,
seek those things which are above,
where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
2 Set your affection on things above,
not on things on the earth.
3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid
with Christ in God.
4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear,
then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
5 Mortify therefore your members
which are upon the earth;
fornication, uncleanness,
inordinate affection, evil concupiscence,
and covetousness, which is idolatry:
We are to repent, and believe the gospel.
We are to live godly lives.
We are to live by the Bible.
We are to love GOD.
We are to believe in JESUS.
We are to listen to the HOLY SPIRIT.
Pray to JESUS that you may understand.
So you may feel the same urgency He gave me.
That we are to live right by GOD, and warn others, too.
We are still on earth, still with our work, and families.
But the Rapture can happen ANY moment GOD wills it.
This is especially a call to war-freaks, and war-mongers.
Would fighting those wars be of use to you right now?
Or would brokering peace be a better option?
Really easy to decide upon.
Because the logic is simple.
If we are to be with JESUS, the PRINCE of PEACE, we MUST be PEACE.
Sheer common sense.
