Time is running out!
Time is running out for the lost and lukewarm 2Pet.1:10 “to make your calling and election sure…” Yes, just as sure as Jesus came the first time, to be mankind’s “Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.” Luke 2:11 He is coming the second time, first 1Thess.4:16-17 to rapture both the dead saints (through the resurrection) and the living saints “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.”
For all those, who have been listening to those who teach Pre- wrath, which is another name for Mid-Trib, Post Trib. and Kingdom now Theology, there is nothing in neither one of these teachings, that offer any hope of escaping Matt.24:21 and Mark 13:19 “great tribulation (Mark says affliction) such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. (will be again).
I say this with love, if you don’t want to rightly divide the Word of God, that clearly teaches the Pre-Trib. Rapture, that is your choice, but be careful that you don’t fall into (Matt.24:48-51) that evil servant who is teaching people, “My Lord has delayeth his coming: And …smite his fellowservants (those of us who are warning people to flee from the wrath to come, Rev.6:16-17) and to eat and drink with the drunken: (this will be your fate) The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him; and in an hour that he is not aware of, And shall cut him asunder (off) and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Heb.9:28 says “and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.” (He came the first time to deal with sin, by his sacrificial death on the cross, oh but the next time he comes (at the end the worst time from Adam unto this day, in seven years) he will be coming in the clouds with his bride, to take over the government Isa.9:6-7 “…Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to stablish it with judgment, and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The Zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform (accomplish) this.
With the latest news of the “Pope approving blessings for same sex marriages” “Honduras ‘Biblical’ plague of frogs, toads, tadpoles causing multi-car pile up.” If you have not made your calling and election sure, I’d call upon the Lamb, in godly sorrow, and repentance, and ask him to save me from the wrath coming very soon upon this world. Jesus as the prophets foretold of his first coming, fulfilling over 300 prophecies, just any day now he will come back for those who are looking for him, to take us up and out of harms way as he did Noah before he sent the rain upon all those wicked scoffers who thought he was crazy, in building and ark on dry ground. Just as he took Lot out of harms way, before Gen.19:24 “…the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven.” He has promised to take his bride out of harm’s way. (Luke 21:34-36, 1Thes.1:10, 4:13-18, 5:9, Rev.3:10).
Oh, what a precious promise the Lord has given us, as we remember his miracle birth, that he is coming again, and all the signs are telling us it is at the door. So as Luke exhorts us in Luke 21:25-28 to Look up for your redemption draweth nigh.
Maranatha!!!!! Merry CHRISTmas!
