Prepare for rapture.

The "Rapture teachings" are so obvious in the scriptures. It is not found in the OT, or the FGs. The "Teaching" is found in the Epistles of Paul. You know the scriptures. Study them.

Ah..

Since the Fathers and over a thousand years of church history have no record of the teaching of dispensational "rapturism" as currently taught by (primarily) American Evangelicals I'll pass. I used to believe it when I first become a Christian 'cause I was told that it was the truth but as I continued my studies I learned that it is new teaching....if you want to argue it ya might want to check the bazillion threads here at CF...check the "General Theology" and "Baptist" and "Eschatology" forums...but for me that dead horse doesn't need a beating around here.

If you simply want to reference the Second Coming then hey I'll say AMEN!

The time is coming for us to prepare for the rapture of the Church. Jesus Himself told us to prepare for His coming:
“Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭24:44‬ ‭KJV‬‬

I have received a prophecy from God concerning the rapture. He has told me to go and teach what He has revealed to me. So here is the message I have pre-typed for informing fellow believers :

So first of all, a while ago I was praying to God about something related to death. I have this Bible app that gives random verses everyday and i looked at the random verse for an answer. The verse said something about how those who believe in God shall not die, but live eternally. I know what the verse actually means, but its like it spoke to me that i would be raptured. I remembered Mark 11:24 and kept faith that this was of God. But there's more. My second prayer was later. I had been wondering whether or not i should tell this prophesy to others. I wondered this because it seems that God tells you some things that He may not want you to tell others, as my mother had Him audibly speak to her and she never told anyone what He said, and she said she never will. So I prayed about it and went into the same Bible app. I was just on the internet before i did this, but for some reason it wouldn't connect. I believe this was God telling me that the answer would not come from that day's verse. I had actually forgot what i had prayed for a while, and I also believe that was God because I have no idea how else i could just simply forget. So days later i remembered, prayed again, and looked into the app and it was a verse about how we should teach others. However, there was even one more prayer. So the next day or the day after that, I had prayed to God saying something along the lines of "Lord, there may be some that won't believe that you spoke to me through an app. So please let today's verse speak of keeping faith and they will know for sure." So i looked into the Bible app, and sure enough, it spoke of keeping faith in the first sentence. So I learned that the rapture will happen in my lifetime. Dont know when, but at some point i will be raptured.

The question is: How should we prepare for this?
We should prepare by doing the will of the Father, as well as doing good works for Him.

Where is the 2nd coming/"Parousia" shown in Revelation?

Matthew 24:3
He is yet sitting on the mount of the Olives, the disciples came to Him according to own, saying,
`Tell us, when shall these be? and what the Sign of the Thy ParousiaV <3952>, and of the together-finish/sun-teleiaV <4930> of the Age?' [Daniel 12/Revelation 19]


1 Thessalonians 3:13
Into the stand-fast of ye, the hearts blameless in together-holiness before the God and Father of us
in the Parousia <3952> of the Lord of us, Jesus Christ, with all of the holy-ones of Him [Zech 14:5/Revelation 19:11.]

James 5:8
be ye patient!, also stand-fast the hearts of ye, that the Parousia <3952>of the Lord is nigh;


Perhaps the armies coming with Christ in Reve 19 are those ones that have been "raptured", including the Apostles?


Reve 19:11
And I perceived the heaven having be opened and Behold! A white horse and the One sitting on it being called Faithful and True
and in justice He is judging and is battling.
14 And the armies, the in the heaven, followed to him on horses, white, having been..............................

Rapture Index 180
Net Change unch
Updated Jan 25, 2016

Rapture Index of 100 and Below: Slow prophetic activity
Rapture Index of 100 to 130: Moderate prophetic activity
Rapture Index of 130 to 160: Heavy prophetic activity
Rapture Index above 160: Fasten your seat belts

The Rapture Index is by no means meant to predict the rapture, however, the index is designed to measure the type of activity that could act as a precursor to the rapture.

You could say the Rapture index is a Dow Jones Industrial Average of end time activity, but I think it would be better if you viewed it as prophetic speedometer. The higher the number, the faster we're moving towards the occurrence of pre-tribulation rapture.
