HARPAZO! #726- rapturos- The Rapture! I'm waiting on a TRUMPET! That's OUR CALL!

 (1 Thessalonians 1:10) "and to wait for his Son from heaven, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come." It is written SO plainly! As the end times described in Matthew, we are there! Which means, it is getting closer and closer to the rapture of the church- the snatching away of all born again believers in Christ Jesus. What an unspeakable gift! 

The first stage of Jesus' return is called the "rapture"; in heaven will be judgment of believers for works while the earth is simultaneously going through the Great Tribulation, Time of Jacob's Trouble, Daniel's 70th Week. The Tribulation is for the Jews and all unbelievers. Jesus was very clear, ye must be born again. 

The Rapture is described in 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17. "For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord Himself shall descenf rom heaven with a shout, with the voice of the Archangel (Michael) and with the trump of God; and the DEAD IN CHRIST shall rise first; then we which are ALIVE AND REMAIN (saints only) 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." 

From this verse, we see that the rapture is twofold. 1.) Resurrection of the "DEAD IN CHRIST"

2.) The Translation of the "LIVING SAINTS"

"Behold, I show you a mystery, we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump; for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this m ortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to passs the saying that is written, DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP IN VICTORY. 

The rapture will take place like a thief in the night. We are told in Jesus' parable the Ten Virgins, five were wise and five unwise. We must pray for wisdom and spiritual discernment during these last days, always praying in the Holy Spirit to build our faith solid. 

(Revelation 16:15) "Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame." 

Israel is the prophetic timeclock; and the prophecy of the nation becoming born in one day happened May 14, 1948. 74 years later, and we are on the close of the Age of Grace. Jesus is near to every single one of us; search Him with your whole heart, and be ready for His coming. 

Titus 2:13 --> "Waiting on that blessed hope, the glorious appearance of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ." 

We are children of the day; God has chosen me through sanctification of the Spirit and the belief of the truth. That is what the word says. We have ETERNAL life! Judgment begins at the household of God. Let us all finish our race of endurance strong in the Lord Jesus Christ.
