Last Days

 

Many people believe that they are going to go up in the soon coming rapture, but I am not certain if it is as soon coming as everyone thinks, I am not saying it is not, because the signs sure point to soon and coming King and God moves when least expected.  Just to throw a wrench into the works, and unsettle the smug ones and know-it-alls :-)

 

What I wonder about is concerning two scriptures, the first is the one saying that Jesus will be retuning for a church/bride  New International Version (©1984) and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. Is that by faith that we are without spot or wrinkle? Because if it is in the natural, I do not know of any church that fits that description as of yet, do you?

 

Yes, I believe something big is going to happen around this time line with the Pope and Obama in Israel, but the church is still to comfortable. Most are still too concerned about me; very self centered and yet they call themselves Christians - believers possibly, but even the devil believes. The scriptures also say you must make Jesus LORD (He rules) and savoir (and believe) to qualify as a Christian. Many only confess belief. Wrong! Because the second verse I wonder about is in Matt 7:21, when so many are expecting to get into heaven because they did so much stuff in His name. Jesus says, Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will (obedient to the calling God asked him to do) of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.  I did not knot know you”. He straightforwardly states only those who did my Father’s business can come in. Most Christians are not doing the Father’s business but there own business. This disqualifies many people. He also says those who are willing and obedient shall eat of the good of the land. I would say only about 2 percent will be included in the rapture. Do you think maybe the many will come during the great Trib, because John see so many in Revelation.

 

Please do not shoot the messenger…..Food for thought, just throwing it out there.

God Bless
