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.

GOD's PEOPLE cannot be silenced

 GOD said:

Isaiah 55:11

King James Version

11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: 

it shall not return unto me void, 

but it shall accomplish that which I please, 

and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

We think we can stash money away in tax-free havens.

We think we can keep the hungry, hungrier.

The rich, richer.

We think we've got it all mapped out to a "T".

We think we can scrap GOD out of our schools, businesses, and governments.

We think we can set aside Scripture.

We think we can silence the believers.

The ones who warn us about the coming days.

And yet, if they didn't warn us, who would?

When the prince of the world makes you sleep.

That you may not wake up to the GOSPEL.

But it is understandable that many of us are asleep.

For even the churches are asleep.

Their gospel has been diluted.

They have been infiltrated.

They have been corrupted.

They talk about prosperity.

Their talks about GOD is but token.

They have replaced the TRUE MEDIATOR -- JESUS -- with another mediator.

Oh, if only the lady could speak.

She'd tell you to set things right.

That it is her SON, who is the mediator.

1 Timothy 2:5-6

King James Version

5 For there is one God, 

and one mediator between God and men, 

the man Christ Jesus;

6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, 

to be testified in due time.

We believers share the GOSPEL.

That all may be saved, through JESUS.

That all may find favor with GOD.

And yet not all will want to do so.

GOD sends to JESUS, those who need saving.

John 6:39

King James Version

39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, 

that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, 

but should raise it up again at the last day.

Many are still asleep, proud, disobedient, vain, greedy, lustful, caught up in the things of the world.

When GOD declares the RAPTURE, His SON will have His faithful meet Him up in the air.

The dead first.

Then the living.

Have you an idea how it will be, at all?

It will be immediate.

We could all be immersed with our families, with our friends, with our work, with our social events, with our money-making ventures, with sin.

Until the RAPTURE happens.

Matthew 24:40

King James Version

40 Then shall two be in the field; 

the one shall be taken, 

and the other left.

HALF the world population would be gone.

Shall I, a watchman, not warn you?

The people of GOD cannot be silenced.

We are born again.

We serve the LIVING GOD.

We do not serve false idols.

What the SPIRIT of GOD tells us to pay attention to in Scripture, we do so.

We do not deviate from the WORD of GOD.

We share the WORD of GOD.

We are not beholden to the prince of this world.

We only SERVE the ONE, TRUE GOD.

It only takes ONE angel, to bind Satan.

Revelation 20:1-2

King James Version

20 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, 

having the key of the bottomless pit 

and a great chain in his hand.

2 And he laid hold on the dragon, 

that old serpent, 

which is the Devil, 

and Satan, 

and bound him a thousand years,

Can you imagine the POWER of JESUS?

All was created for Him.

All serve Him.

Ephesians 1:19-23

King James Version

19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power 

to us-ward who believe, 

according to the working of his mighty power,

20 Which he wrought in Christ, 

when he raised him from the dead, 

and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,

21 Far above all principality, 

and power, and might, and dominion, 

and every name that is named, 

not only in this world, 

but also in that which is to come:

22 And hath put all things under his feet, 

and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,

23 Which is his body, 

the fulness of him that filleth all in all.

If you care about yourself, and those you love, you will listen.

If you serve the prince of this world, it is understandable you will refuse to listen.

You will also silence us.

But the LORD has already engraved His words in believers' hearts.

Jeremiah 31:33

King James Version

33 But this shall be the covenant 

that I will make with the house of Israel; 

After those days, 

saith the Lord, 

I will put my law in their inward parts, 

and write it in their hearts; 

and will be their God, 

and they shall be my people.

Ezekiel 11:19

English Standard Version

19 And I will give them one heart, 

and a new spirit I will put within them. 

I will remove the heart of stone from their flesh 

and give them a heart of flesh,

The LORD knows who are His.

2 Timothy 2:19

King James Version

19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, 

having this seal, 

The Lord knoweth them that are his. 

And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ 

depart from iniquity.

VICTORY remains in JESUS alone.

We will all account for our thoughts, words, and deeds.

It's time to get right with the LORD now.

Forget all foolishness about world domination, being the most famous, most goodlooking, most popular, most liked, being the wealthiest, or smartest, person on earth.

On the day GOD chooses, all that will be gone.

We were born with nothing, we will die with nothing.

1 Timothy 6:7

King James Version

7 For we brought nothing into this world, 

and it is certain we can carry nothing out.

You cannot silence the WORD of GOD.

The WORD is the ONLY thing that will REMAIN.

JESUS said so:

Luke 21:33

King James Version

33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: 

but my words shall not pass away.

By His WORD, heaven and earth were created.

By His WORD, heaven and earth will vanish.

For, in the beginning, the WORD was ALL there was.

John 1:1

King James Version

1 In the beginning was the Word, 

and the Word was with God, 

and the Word was God.

John 1:14

King James Version

14 And the Word was made flesh, 

and dwelt among us, 

(and we beheld his glory, 

the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) 

full of grace and truth.

The WORD is JESUS.

You cannot scrap Him out of your life.

He is LIFE.

The WICKED shall PERISH

 

Isaiah 48:22

King James Version

22 There is no peace, 

saith the Lord, 

unto the wicked.

There are no two ways about it.

The WICKED shall PERISH.

This is what JESUS said:

Matthew 13:37-42

King James Version

37 He answered and said unto them, 

He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;

38 The field is the world; 

the good seed are the children of the kingdom;

 but the tares are the children of the wicked one;

39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; 

the harvest is the end of the world; 

and the reapers are the angels.

40 As therefore the tares are gathered 

and burned in the fire; 

so shall it be in the end of this world.

41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, 

and they shall gather out of his kingdom 

all things that offend, 

and them which do iniquity;

42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: 

there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

John 8:24

King James Version

24 I said therefore unto you, 

that ye shall die in your sins: 

for if ye believe not that I am he, 

ye shall die in your sins.

This is what the rest of Scripture says:

Psalm 1:4-6

King James Version

4 The ungodly are not so: 

but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, 

nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

6 For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: 

but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Psalm 37:20

King James Version

20 But the wicked shall perish, 

and the enemies of the Lord shall be as the fat of lambs: 

they shall consume; 

into smoke shall they consume away.

Psalm 73:27

King James Version

27 For, lo, 

they that are far from thee shall perish: 

thou hast destroyed all them 

that go a whoring from thee.

Proverbs 24:19-20

King James Version

19 Fret not thyself because of evil men, 

neither be thou envious at the wicked:

20 For there shall be no reward to the evil man; 

the candle of the wicked shall be put out.

Isaiah 11:4

King James Version

4 But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, 

and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: 

and he shall smite the earth: 

with the rod of his mouth, 

and with the breath of his lips 

shall he slay the wicked.

1 Corinthians 6:9-10

King James Version

9 Know ye not that the unrighteous 

shall not inherit the kingdom of God? 

Be not deceived: 

neither fornicators, nor idolaters, 

nor adulterers, nor effeminate, 

nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, 

nor revilers, nor extortioners, 

shall inherit the kingdom of God.

Galatians 5:19-21

King James Version

19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, 

which are these; 

Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, 

wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: 

of the which I tell you before, 

as I have also told you in time past, 

that they which do such things 

shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

1 Timothy 6:9

King James Version

9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, 

and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, 

which drown men in destruction and perdition.

Hebrews 10:26-27

King James Version

26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received 

the knowledge of the truth, 

there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

27 But a certain fearful looking for 

of judgment and fiery indignation, 

which shall devour the adversaries.

1 Peter 3:12

King James Version

12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, 

and his ears are open unto their prayers: 

but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.

Revelation 21:8

King James Version

8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, 

and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, 

and idolaters, and all liars, 

shall have their part in the lake 

which burneth with fire and brimstone: 

which is the second death.

GOD does not want us to perish.

Ezekiel 18:23

King James Version

23 Have I any pleasure at all 

that the wicked should die? 

saith the Lord God: 

and not that he should return from his ways, 

and live?

JESUS does not want us to perish.

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.

Where do you stand?

Are you a believer?

Are you born again?

Have you given your LIFE to JESUS?

Do you serve Him alone?

Are you in FULL obedience to the LORD?

Do you LIVE by SCRIPTURE?

Have you turned away from all sin?

Have you taken the path of holiness?

I hope you do, for the time is at hand.

Every day we're still on earth is just PURE GRACE.

Let's not stretch GOD's patience.

Let's join Him in the RAPTURE.

That we may be spared the Tribulation.

It's ALL been PROPHESIED

 

2 Timothy 4:3-4

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;

4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, 

and shall be turned unto fables.

Will people believe GOD's day of wrath?

Will people believe the RAPTURE?

Will people believe the GOSPEL?

Will people believe JESUS?

The BIBLE says:

There will be scoffers.

2 Peter 3:3-4

King James Version

3 Knowing this first, 

that there shall come in the last days scoffers, 

walking after their own lusts,

4 And saying, 

Where is the promise of his coming? 

for since the fathers fell asleep, 

all things continue as they were 

from the beginning of the creation.

There will be unbelievers.

2 Corinthians 4:4

King James Version

4 In whom the god of this world 

hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, 

lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, 

who is the image of God, 

should shine unto them.

People will continue, as in Noah's time.

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.

Is it human nature?

It must be so.

GOD identified our hearts, very early on.

Genesis 6:5-6

King James Version

5 And God saw that the wickedness of man 

was great in the earth, 

and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart 

was only evil continually.

6 And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, 

and it grieved him at his heart.

This time, it will not be a flood.

Genesis 9:11

King James Version

11 And I will establish my covenant with you, 

neither shall all flesh be cut off any more 

by the waters of a flood; 

neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.

This time, the faithful will be caught up with JESUS.

After which, the tribulation will occur.

How many dare listen?

Please do.

OPERATIVE WORDS for the END TIMES

 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,

WATCH.

John 3:5-7

King James Version

5 Jesus answered, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, 

he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; 

and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, 

Ye must be born again.

LOOK UP; LIFT your HEADS.

Luke 21:27-28

King James Version

27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming 

in a cloud with power and great glory.

28 And when these things begin to come to pass, 

then look up, 

and lift up your heads; 

for your redemption draweth nigh.

FOCUS on JESUS.

Colossians 3:1-2

King James Version

King James Version

Ye shall be holy:

even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

BE BLAMELESS.

1 Thessalonians 5:23

keep my commandments.

WALK in the SPIRIT.

16 This I say then, 

Walk in the Spirit, 

and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

DENY yourself; TAKE up your CROSS daily; FOLLOW Jesus.

Luke 9:23

King James Version

23 And he said to them all, 

If any man will come after me, 

let him deny himself, 

and take up his cross daily, 

and follow me.

WAKE UP; CAST OFF the works of darkness; PUT ON the armor of light.

Romans 13:11-12

King James Version

11 And that, 

knowing the time, 

that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: 

for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.

12 The night is far spent, 

the day is at hand: 

let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, 

and let us put on the armour of light.

WORSHIP GOD.

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.
