Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? Who hath gathered the wind in his fists? Who hath bound the waters in a garment? Who hath established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is his son’s name, If thou canst tell? Every word of God is pure: He is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Add thou not unto his words, Lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar. Proverbs 30:4-6 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/pro.30.4-6.KJV
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 2 Timothy 3:16 KJV https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/2ti.3.16/62607
Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God; For I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God. Psalm 42:11 KJV https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/psa.42.11/52780
Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. Philippians 2:12 KJV https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/php.2.12/77066
Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you. Philippians 4:9 KJV https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/php.4.9/60144
We have been waiting for two thousand years for the age of the church to come to an end, Lord. I know that it will in your time be finished and completed by your will and purposes but our world is getting worse it seems every day. I know that I’m not telling you anything, Lord, because you have foreseen all of the happenings on Earth before it comes to light.
Still…I will praise You for your goodness and mercy and your love for your people. Nothing surprises You and your promises will come about soon. Thank you, Lord, for caring for us and leading those who will believe to your Son for their salvation. I’m looking forward to that day when the trumpet will sound and those who belong to You will be taken up to be with You forever. Amen
Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and, whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? John 11:25-26 KJV https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/jhn.11.25-26/10785
God has never gone back on a promise nor has He ever failed to deliver on one. God has promised in His Word that He would be with us until the end of the age. Whether that is the end of our lives or until the rapture of the church itself, only He knows those dates and the very hour that it will happen. All that we should be doing is making sure that we are ready. Don’t put off studying the Bible and learning more about Him. Don’t decide to skip going to church because someone hurt your feelings a few years ago. Those things are in the past and they should not keep you from becoming more like Jesus. When that day comes where will you stand?
Jesus told His disciples what would begin just as the last days were coming to pass. Men would be running to and fro and knowledge would be increased. Mankind would be lovers of themselves and diseases would be rampant upon the Earth along with wars happening everywhere. Most of what I’ve written is from Daniel chapter 9 and 12 but Jesus told of these things as well. Our time is drawing down just as a well gets more shallow when there hasn’t been any rain, so the time of grace and the church age is coming to a close.
Just as God saved Noah from the flood, the church will be taken up from the Earth before the Tribulation begins. Some say that the first three and a half years will be Satan’s wrath poured out against the church and Israel and that the church won’t leave until that is done but ALL of the seven years were prophesied for the sons of Abraham, not the church. God uses that time to punish and teach them that their Messiah has come and they rejected Him. God knows His own and He will punish those who have hurt any of the Jewish people.
Life on Earth is going to become very difficult and painful during the Tribulation but God will cut that time short so that there will be a remnant of those who belong to Him. Jesus taught in Matthew 24 about the way the world would be at the end of the age. His disciples wanted to know when this would happen and the only sign that was given was the budding of the fig tree. The fig tree represents Israel and when they became a nation in 1948, that was when the clock began ticking for the countdown toward the Tribulation. Then in 1967, Israel won the war to rejoin Jerusalem and now it is their capital.
So many prophecies have come to pass in the last seventy years until there is only one left that will stun the world…the taking up of the church. When that day comes there will be no doubt among those who have attended a church service or have read their Bible concerning what has happened. They will know and if they were left here, it will be a sad day. Because even if they thought they were Christians they will know that they were only fooling themselves. God knows your heart and He knows exactly who has given their lives to Jesus and who has not.
Anyone who reads this should truly search their lives and their soul and make sure today that Jesus knows you as well as you may know Him. If your knowledge is only knowing about Him, that isn’t enough.
Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. Matthew 10:16 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/mat.10.16.KJV
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: Matthew 6:19 KJV https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/mat.6.19/46030
