Dear Doves,

 

THE MEMBERS OF 'THE CHURCH IN PHILADELPHIA' WILL BE RAPTURED PRE-TRIBULATION, BUT THE MEMBERS OF 'THE CHURCH IN LAODICEA' WILL RAPTURED PRE-WRATH OF GOD NEAR MID-TRIBULATION AFTER THEY HAVE BEEN REBUKED AND DISCIPLINED BY JESUS.

 

Rev 3:8 & 10  'To the Church in Philadelphia'

"I know your deeds. See, I HAVE PLACED BEFORE YOU AN OPEN DOOR THAT NO ONE CAN SHUT. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept My Word and have not denied My Name. Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I WILL ALSO KEEP YOU FROM THE HOUR OF TRIAL that is going to come upon the whole world TO TEST THOSE WHO LIVE ON THE EARTH."

 

THE "OPEN DOOR" IS THE RAPTURE DOOR, AND "THE HOUR OF TRIAL" IS THE TRIBULATION THAT THEY WILL BE "KEPT FROM".

 

 

WHO DO YOU THINK IS GOING TO BE TESTED DURING "THE HOUR OF TRIAL"?  HOW ABOUT THE MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH OF LAODICEA?

 

Rev 3:15-19  "To the Church in Laodicea'

"I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, BECAUSE YOU ARE LUKEWARM - neither hot nor cold - I AM ABOUT TO SPIT YOU OUT OF MY MOUTH. You say, I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing. But you do not realize that YOU ARE WRETCHED, PITIFUL, POOR, BLIND AND NAKED. I COUNSEL YOU BUY FROM ME GOLD REFINED IN THE FIRE SO YOU CAN BECOME RICH; AND WHITE CLOTHES TO WEAR SO YOU CAN COVER YOUR SHAMEFUL NAKEDNESS; AND SALVE TO PUT ON YOUR EYES SO YOU CAN SEE. Those whom I LOVE I REBUKE AND DISCIPLINE. So be earnest and repent.

 

 The "GOLD REFINED IN THE FIRE" that "I COUNSEL YOU TO BUY FROM ME" (Jesus speaking); The "GOLD" IS THE SANCTIFICATION OF FAITH ( not salvation which is a gift) WHICH IS "REFINED IN THE FIRE" OF THE FIRST HALF OF THE TRIBULATION "SO YOU CAN BECOME RICH". THIS IS "THE TEST OF THOSE WHO LIVE ON THE EARTH" whom JESUS LOVES BUT WILL "REBUKE AND DISCIPLINE" with the "TEST".

Their sanctification of faith will give them "WHITE CLOTHES TO WEAR" and "EYES SO YOU CAN SEE."

 

Salvation has already been given to these members by Christ Jesus, but THEY ARE NOT APPRECIATIVE OF HIS GIFT OF SALVATION. HE CALLS THEM WRETCHED, PITIFUL, POOR, BLIND AND NAKED so they will have to take the "TEST OF THOSE WHO LIVE ON THE EARTH" during the first-half of the tribulation. They will experience the "FIRE" of tribulation, but those who survive "THE TEST" will be raptured to Heaven before the Wrath of God is poured out on the Earth at mid-tribulation. You know where those who fail "THE TEST" are going!

 

Jesus says, "SO BE EARNEST AND REPENT" so you won't have to take the "TEST OF THOSE WHO LIVE ON THE EARTH"

 

Rev 3:21

"TO HIM WHO OVERCOMES, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I overcame and sat down with My Father on His Throne."

 

"TO HIM WHO OVERCOMES"; Jesus is speaking to those who are "EARNEST AND REPENT" or PASS THE "TEST OF THOSE WHO LIVE ON THE EARTH".

 

 

Come Lord Jesus!
