We're edging closer and closer to when the bride of Jesus is pulled off of this Earth, and this bride is his Church. We are in a time when there is immense spiritual slackness and the attacks of Satan are strong and extremely deceptive. In fact, Satan is painting the illusion that 'things are going back to normal' and that it's ok to keep living a slack, sinful spiritual life and to push off accepting Jesus as Savior and to push off the things that the Father has for us.
Many will ridicule, many will ignore, but this is for the few that God has given the ears to hear. If you haven't accepted Jesus as Savior, say this prayer. "Lord Jesus, I do not know you but wish to know you. I believe you are the Son of God and died for my sins. I know I am a sinner and full of wickedness. Please wash away my sins in your blood and lead me in the ways I should go. Jesus I accept you as my Savior and I accept your sacrifice as the payment for the debts of my sins. Amen." If you have already but are walking in spiritual slackness, pray hard, search yourself for offenses to God and pray for repentance.
I believe that we are in the end times but i think there's a lot of misinterpretation here. We are definitely in the end times but the word "rapture" isn't in the Scriptures. That word was invented by men and then they try to attribute it to God.
1 Thessalonians 4:16-18
16 For the Lord Himself will come down from heaven with a shout of command, with the voice of the archangel and with the [blast of the] trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
17 Then we who are alive and remain [on the earth] will simultaneously be caught up (raptured) together with them [the resurrected ones] in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord!
18 Therefore comfort and encourage one another with these words [concerning our reunion with believers who have died].
1 Corinthians 15:51-53
51 Listen very carefully, I tell you a mystery [a secret truth decreed by God and previously hidden, but now revealed]; we will not all sleep [in death], but we will all be [completely] changed [wondrously transformed],
52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at [the sound of] the last trumpet call. For a trumpet will sound, and the dead [who believed in Christ] will be raised imperishable, and we will be [completely] changed [wondrously transformed].
53 For this perishable [part of us] must put on the imperishable [nature], and this mortal [part of us that is capable of dying] must put on immortality [which is freedom from death].
Revelation 7:9-17
A Multitude from the Tribulation
9 After these things I looked, and this is what I saw: a vast multitude which no one could count, [gathered] from every nation and from all the tribes and peoples and languages [of the earth], standing before the throne and before the Lamb (Christ), dressed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands;
10 and in a loud voice they cried out, saying,
“Salvation [belongs] to our God who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb [our salvation is the Trinity’s to give, and to God the Trinity we owe our deliverance].”
11 And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the [twenty-four] elders and the four living creatures; and they fell to their faces before the throne and worshiped God,
12 saying,
“Amen! Blessing and glory and majesty and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might belong to our God forever and ever. Amen.”
13 Then one of the elders responded, saying to me, “These who are dressed in the long white robes—who are they, and from where did they come?”
14 I said to him, “My lord, you know [the answer].” And he said to me, “These are the people who come out of the great tribulation (persecution), and they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb [because of His atoning sacrifice].
15 For this reason, they are [standing] before the throne of God; and they serve Him [in worship] day and night in His temple; and He who sits on the throne will spread His tabernacle over them and shelter and protect them [with His presence].
16 They will hunger no longer, nor thirst anymore; nor will the sun beat down on them, nor any [scorching] heat;
17 for the Lamb who is in the center of the throne will be their Shepherd, and He will guide them to springs of the waters of life; and God will wipe every tear from their eyes [giving them eternal comfort].”
Revelation 11:15-19
The Seventh Trumpet—Christ’s Reign Foreseen
15 Then the seventh angel sounded [his trumpet]; and there were loud voices in heaven, saying,
“The kingdom (dominion, rule) of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ; and He will reign forever and ever.”
16 And the twenty-four elders, who sit on their thrones before God, fell face downward and worshiped God,
17 saying,
“To You we give thanks, O Lord God Almighty [the Omnipotent, the Ruler of all], Who are and Who were, because You have taken Your great power and the sovereignty [which is rightly Yours] and have [now] begun to reign.
18 And the nations (Gentiles) became enraged, and Your wrath and indignation came, and the time came for the dead to be judged, and [the time came] to reward Your bond-servants the prophets and the saints (God’s people) and those who fear Your name, the small and the great, and [the time came] to destroy the destroyers of the earth.”
19 And the temple of God which is in heaven was opened; and the ark of His covenant appeared in His temple, and there were flashes of lightning, loud rumblings and peals of thunder and an earthquake and a great hailstorm.
It's been the end of days forever. You gotta be right eventually huh? I'll be glad when it's finally publicly shown that all those Biblical 'predictions' are references to things that were happening at that time.
Revelation 13:15
And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
I wonder if this will be used for the 'image of the beast' that will be required to worship:
People have literally been saying the end times were imminent FOREVER.
