"To Barry and Mari re: thoughts on who goes in the Rapture"


Thank you so much for responding to my post.

I believe Pastor F.M. RILEY. opened my eyes to Luke 21:36 when he reminded us in one of his writings Jesus was talking to the Jews when He made that statement.

The scripture, he explained, is not referring to the Blood washed saints.  The Jews believe in God but will not be counted worthy to escape all the things that are about to come to pass and to stand before the Son of Man unless they believed in Yeshuah as Messiah.

If we are born Again by the SPIRIT and WATER, washed and cleansed by the Blood of the Lamb, there is no reason we ought to pray to be counted worthy to escape the tribulation.

When we stand before the judgment seat of Christ, we will receive our rewards.
Some will receive many.  Others hardly any.
.
I recall reading a commentary of the scriptures in Revelation that speak of tears being wiped away in heaven  of being tears of those who did not earn hardly any rewards.

Food for thought.

Blessings all!
