"re:children and the rapture"


 

To my brothers and sisters in the LORD,

Re: children and the rapture…

Read Exodus 12 the Passover.  Those with faith in YHWH GOD obeyed His command to keep the Passover.  The command included to make such preparations for their entire household these most definitely included children.

Yes children went across the Red Sea too. J YHWH did not leave any of His behind…man, woman, child, infant, or non-Hebrew who kept the Passover (or who were in a house of faith who kept it).

“I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.”  Jesus Christ (John 10:14)

He shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those with young.” (Is.40:11)

Jesus tells us to pray, “deliver us from evil.” (Matt. 6:13) 

Ask and it shall be given unto you; knock and it shall be opened unto you.” – Jesus Christ (Matt. 7:7) Let us pray the LORD’s blessing and salvation for our families daily.

“If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father give good things to them that ask him.”  -Jesus Christ (Matt.7:11)

“I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.” –Jesus Christ (11:25)

“And they brought the young children to him, that he should touch them, and his disciples rebuked those that brought them, But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.  Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.  And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them.”  -Jesus Christ (Mark 10:13-16)

Personally, I believe many children will be raptured with their Christian parents and families.  Surely there are even children who belong to YESHUA whose parents may not know him (I know of some).  Only the LORD himself knows who will be raptured or left behind.  I would not be surprised at all if children out number grown-ups! J 

As for me and my house, we will follow the LORD-YHWH.  (from Joshua 24:15)

Blessings to you all!
