Praise The Lord To The Saints Of The Most High.

Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people. To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest, and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear. But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; (that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken). "Isaiah 28:9-14"
 
The letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life, it takes the Holy Ghost in one's life to put the puzzle together, before you answer this e-mail, you prayerfully look up these scriptures, i am a master plumber,and gasfitter, and when interpreting blue prints, one does not just look at the front view, you have a side view, top view, a rear view, an isometric view, structural plans, architect plans, ceiling plans, floor plans and etc, and that is just the way the word of God is, only the AUTHOR AND FINISHER of our faith, directing a true hearted soul can put the puzzle RIGHTFULLY IN PLACE.
 
We believe that the next outstanding event on the divine calendar is " the appearing of Jesus", commonly called "the rapture" of the church. The word "rapture" is not use in the Bible, but it is the term expressing the glorious feeling of the event. But the event is called " the appearing" and is to be distinguished from the second coming of Christ". This event is for the " catching away" of those that are "alive and remain" and those that "sleep in Jesus" (1Thess. 4:13-17). It is the event that takes the church out of the earth before the tribulation (Isa. 26:20, 21); it is always depicted as a very quick and sudden event (St. Matt. 24:27; 1 Cor. 15:52) catching the world as a thief" (1 Thess. 5:1-4).
 
This is the hope of the church (1 John 3:3) and the grounds for the believers purification. By Old Testament examples we can see that whenever God punished the wicked for their iniquities, the righteous who found favor in His sight were delivered (Gen. 6:6-8; 7:1; 18:23-33; 19:22; Psa. 91:8) and since the church is His "purchased possession" (Acts 20:28) He will spare it "as a father spareth his own son" (Mal. 3:17) that serveth him. In many cases, the second coming of Christ is confused with the "appearing" of Jesus Christ for the sake of catching away His Church. Let us distinguish here these two events by stating, in "the appearing" of our Lord Jesus Christ (rapture) "the church goes up to meet Him"; (1 Thess. 14:13-17), the second coming of Christ "the church comes back with Him" (Zech. 14:1-5); Jude 14, 15; Acts 1:11; Rev. 1:7; 19:11-14).
 
At His coming, Christ brings an end to Gentile world domination at the battle of Armageddon (Rev. 17:14; 19:17-20); destroys the heads of both human governments and false religion (the beast and the false prophet); binds Satan in the bottomless pit (Rev. 20:1-3) for a thousand years and sets up His own righteous kingdom on earth for that thousand years (called the Millenial Reign of Christ)-( Rev. 20:4-6; Isa.11:2;). This is the kingdom also predicted by the prophet Daniel (Dan. 2:44) that "like a mountain" shall fill the whole earth. The second coming marks the end of all things as they are, and ushers in an era of "righteousness and peace" unknown in our day.
 
The big earthquake is upon us!
