1 Thessalonians 4: 13 - 18:
But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.
For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep.
For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.
Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.
Therefore comfort one another with these words.
All rock solid theology. Thanks for the ping. Like you, I have sympathy for the good intentions of the message here. There may even be some legitimate comparison to the style of John the Baptist. However, there are tactics and there is truth. As your post reveals, God is always in complete control of everything according to His already set-in-stone time table. Nothing we say or do will change this so there is no sense in getting up in a lather about anything. But to be clear of course we are NOT saying that witnessing is therefore unnecessary. Witnessing is commanded so we do it gladly. There just may be a bit of a difference in the motivations and expectations behind that witnessing.
Yes, thank you! Matthew 24 and 25 are soooo important to what is happening right now! Thank you again.
Yes indeed, dear Friend! See you in the Rapture very soon!
(We have not met in person before - I look forward to meeting you in person there!)
You’re welcome, Kitty Mittens! And, as I just said to Alamo-Girl - I’ll see you in the Rapture with Jesus very soon! How wonderful!
You are very welcome! Maranatha!
You are very welcome! Maranatha!
Amen!
Ha ha ha! Well He has your pin number. And He definitely is sending you messages by lots of other types of “technology”, some of it more of the “natural” kind.
LOL
Why will you need it? You will be going up with all of us too!!! LOLOL!
God bless you!
This message was especially for you!
“This is NEWS - Please Keep This in Breaking News, Admin Moderators. It is not about “religion”. It is about Current Events!”
If you have to add this caveat, then it isn’t news.
If you turn to Jesus simply to possible save yourself from a possible bad end, you are not Saved. Salvation comes to those who honestly and earnestly repent of their sins and seek a relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Christianity is not Fire Insurance.
God bless you!
NO, we are not to know the day or the hour. Literally.
But we are to know the SEASON. Read Matthew 24, 25.
Jesus gave a rebuke to those who say they can see the signs of upcoming weather, but they can’t see the signs of his upcoming return when they start taking place!
Will love it when we can talk more about this after the Rapture....LOL.
LOL - well - who knows? Maybe so.
Yes indeed - interesting future. Interesting present as well.
God bless you and I look forward to meeting you in person very soon - in the clouds with Jesus!!! :-)
God’s blessings back to you!
Look forward to meeting you also in person - in that soon to occur great meeting in the sky with Jesus!
Not according to the signs we see NOW.
The Signs of His return are HERE NOW - intended to wake us up to his appearing which will be very very soon.
He is even at the door!
God bless you!
Thank you. I love all the Graham family. Ruth Bell Graham has an awesome ministry of her own as do all of the Graham “chldren” and now the Graham Grandchildren.
I just learned recently that Billy Graham’s grandson is the new Pastor at Coral Ridge Church in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, where the wonderful Dr. D. James Kennedy pastored until his death not that long go.
How God has blessed this nation and the world through the surrendered lives of Billy and Ruth Graham!
Amen - thanks!
Yes indeed - you CAN feel it in the air and see it in the sky and in nature and in the faces of little children and in the daily news events and in the restorations and healings and dreams and visions and praise going on all over the world!
Maranatha!
I don’t think I wrote that - “the terminal generation started in 1948”.
Well, in 1948 Israel became a Nation again after 1900 and some years of being “not a nation”.
We know that the literal nation of Israel is a very big key to God’s timetable and His Plan - because He chose and called Israel into being to be His People, His Nation.
It’s too much to cover here but I would encourage you to, for instance, go find some of the excellent resources available about Israel - the modern nation of Israel - and how its establishment again as a nation in its “homeland” in 1948 really started the “final days” countdown in earnest.
John Hagee Ministries has probably the most complete information about this available.
God bless!
