11. Countdown....rapture.

Rapture

The Day Approaching.

`But concerning the times and seasons, brethren,....For you yourselves know perfectly that the Day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night.....But you brethren are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief.` (1 Thess. 5: 1, 2, & 4)

`...but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.` (Heb. 10: 25)

We are seeing the Day of the Lord approaching very fast. The world is in turmoil, people`s hearts are `failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth..` (Luke 21: 26)

The Great Economic Depression is fast approaching and will cause untold misery. Then there is the fear for health with the Covid virus and other diseases. Riots and looting is spreading throughout the world with mobs being stirred up by militant groups.

Then amid this turmoil the Russian Federation and the other 3 nations, (Iran, Libya & Ethiopia) come together outside the Golan Heights ready to invade Israel. At this point we know that our time has come to meet the Lord.



The Rapture.

Thus, as believers we are to encourage each other and all the more, as we see these things happening. We know that our departure from this world is soon. And we are `eagerly` waiting for the Lord to appear.

`To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.` (Heb. 9: 28)

In a twinkling of an eye we will be changed and caught up to meet the Lord in the air. Those believers who have died and are asleep in Christ will come back with Him. They will also get their new bodies and rise with us.

`Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed - in a moment in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and this mortal must put on immortality.` (1 Cor. 15: 51 - 53)

`Therefore comfort one another, with these words.` (1 Thess. 4: 18)
