Why don't people believe in the RAPTURE?

 

Matthew 24:42

King James Version

42 Watch therefore: 

for ye know not 

what hour your Lord doth come.


JESUS alerted me to the RAPTURE on 14 January 2020.

His words alerted me, BIG time:

Matthew 24:41

King James Version

41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; 

the one shall be taken, 

and the other left.


So, that's what the RAPTURE was all about!

Before GOD made me born again, I've been hearing about the Rapture.

I'd even see books about it.

Novels were written.

Non-fictions books were written.

But, until the SPIRIT of GOD was in me, I wouldn't have known where to begin, what to believe, who to trust.

Mercifully, GOD saved me on time.

Now, I can tell you about that momentous event believers are watching out for.

Which I have been sharing, the last 29 months.

WHY the urgency?

We must be blameless before the LORD, that's why.

It's all preparation now.

1 Thessalonians 5:23

King James Version

23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; 

and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body 

be preserved blameless 

unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.


But why aren't people listening?

Why do they scoff at the very idea?

Why do they go about each day, unwilling to change?

Why don't they turn to the LORD?

2 Timothy 4:3

King James Version

3 For the time will come 

when they will not endure sound doctrine; 

but after their own lusts 

shall they heap to themselves teachers, 

having itching ears;


Here's what I've experienced, and observed:

GOD's WORD has not reached some.

I've learned pastors don't talk about the Rapture.

They'd rather have a packed congregation, than scare people away.

They'd rather be popular, than unpopular.

People are afraid of hearing about the Rapture.

They shut their ears to it.

They'd rather things stay the same.

Even as we all need some good scaring.

JESUS warned:

Mark 1:15

King James Version

15 And saying, 

The time is fulfilled, 

and the kingdom of God is at hand: 

repent ye, 

and believe the gospel.


Other reasons come to mind:

People don't care.

People have become complacent.

They've become too comfortable.

They've become proud.

They think they're masters of time.

They think they'll live forever.

They don't believe in God.

They don't believe in Jesus.

They don't know the Holy Spirit.

They're distracted by things of the world.

They're hoping it will not happen.

They're hoping it will be put off.

Their thinking process has been tampered with.

They've been fed wrong things by the enemy.

Stuff like: "your thinking becomes your reality".

Thinking, if you focus on the Rapture, it might happen.

Well, whether you focus on it, or not, it WILL happen.

JESUS Himself declared:

1 Thessalonians 4:16-18

King James Version

16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven 

with a shout, 

with the voice of the archangel, 

and with the trump of God: 

and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17 Then we which are alive and remain 

shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, 

to meet the Lord in the air: 

and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.


Further, ONLY GOD knows when the Rapture needs to happen.

Mark 13:32

King James Version

32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, 

no, not the angels which are in heaven, 

neither the Son, 

but the Father.


JESUS knew how people were going to be, before the end times.

He prophesied:

Matthew 24:37-39

King James Version

37 But as the days of Noah were, 

so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

38 For as in the days that were before the flood 

they were eating and drinking, 

marrying and giving in marriage, 

until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

39 And knew not until the flood came, 

and took them all away; 

so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.


The LORD also reminded us:

Matthew 24:44

King James Version

44 Therefore be ye also ready: 

for in such an hour as ye think not 

the Son of man cometh.


Why is it so hard to believe the RAPTURE will come?

Why is it so hard to believe JESUS, when His testimony is TRUE.

As the angel said:

Revelation 19:10

King James Version

10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. 

And he said unto me, 

See thou do it not: 

I am thy fellowservant, 

and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: 

worship God: 

for the testimony of Jesus 

is the spirit of prophecy.


It's time to get right with GOD now!

Let's not put it off.
