“There’s Coming a Day”
For the Lord
Himself will descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel,
and with the trumpet of God. And the dead
in Christ will rise first. Then we who
are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to
meet the Lord in the air. And thus, we
shall ALWAYS be with the Lord. 1
Thessalonians 4:16-17
This is a
description of the DAY or TIME when the LORD JESUS CHRIST comes to RAPTURE the
Church or the TRUE BELIEVERS. This word “RAPTURE” is the same as being “CAUGHT-UP”. It will be carried out VERY DRAMATICALLY and
with a lot of FORCE. The Scripture tells
us that the LORD, HIMSELF will descend from Heaven with a SHOUT, with the VOICE
of an archangel, and then the TRUMPET of GOD will sound. And the Dead in Christ
will RISE first. Can you just imagine
what it would be like, to be in the cemetery when that happens? All the BODIES coming UP out of the ground,
although it will happen in the BLINK of an eye, so you would miss it. And if you are a TRUE BELIEVER, you will be CAUGHT-UP
just as QUICKLY.
We see in
verse seventeen, that those who are ALIVE and REMAIN shall be CAUGHT-UP
together with those who have died in Christ and meet Him in the clouds. The
DEAD in CHRIST first, then the TRUE BELIEVERS.
And they will FOREVER BE with the Lord!!
What a DAY THAT WILL BE!!! Are
you READY??
The Lord is
COMING BACK for ALL of GOD’S CHILDREN, and it WON’T BE LONG. If you have NOT given your HEART and LIFE to
GOD, through the SACRIFICE of His ONLY SON, the LORD JESUS CHRIST, then you ARE
NOT READY. You are NOT READY to FACE
JUDGMENT or the ETERNAL DESTINY of HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to
ESCAPE, after you are there. In order to
be READY, you MUST be WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your sinful life-style, and
TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.
You MUST ADMIT that you are a SINNER, in NEED of the SAVIOR, JESUS
CHRIST, and you MUST BELIEVE, that JESUS died for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in
HEAVEN, making intercession for you, before God. You MUST CONFESS your sins to Him and ask Him
for His FORGIVENESS. You MUST ACCEPT His
Gift of SALVATION and BE READY for that DAY, because WHAT A DAY THAT WILL
BE. So, do this NOW, while you still
can. He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!
