JESUS SAYS THAT HE HAS
SOME 'HOUSE CLEANING' TO DO
FIRST..............
In the following
Scripture Jesus says that He has some
'house cleaning' to do in heaven FIRST
BEFORE He will come again to rapture His
Body-of-Christ Church to be with Him in
heaven according to :
"In My Father's house
are many mansions: If it were not so, I
would have told you. I go TO PREPARE A
PLACE for you. And if I go PREPARE A PLACE
for you, I will come again, and RECEIVE
YOU UNTO MYSELF; that where I am,
there you may be also."
The required 'house
cleaning' in heaven that Jesus is speaking
of is the permanent eviction of Satan and
his fallen angels from heaven to earth
FIRST BEFORE Jesus will rapture His
Faithful Church to heaven. Jesus delegates
this job to take Satan out of the way
before the rapture to His right-hand man
the Archangel Michael according to :
"War broke out in
heaven. Michael and his angels fought with
the dragon, and the dragon and his angels
fought, but they did not prevail, NOR WAS
A PLACE FOUND FOR THEM IN HEAVEN ANY
LONGER. So the great dragon was cast out,
that serpent of old called the Devil and
Satan who deceives the whole world, he was
cast to the earth and his angels were cast
down with him."
After heaven is
cleansed of Satan and his fallen angels,
heaven is now prepared for Jesus receive
His Body-of Christ Church to Himself, by
way of the rapture, according to the very
next Scripture which announces that the
time for the rapture has come:
"THEN , THEN, THEN I
heard a loud voice saying in heaven, NOW
IS COME SALVATION ( the rapture) ,
and strength, and the Kingdom of our God,
AND THE POWER OF HIS CHRIST. And they (the
raptured Church) overcame him by the blood
of the Lamb, and by the word of their
testimony, and they loved not their lives
unto death (the martyrs )."
After the rapture of
the Church to heaven God then speaks to
the raptured Church now dwelling in
heaven, and then He also speaks to the
left-behind now dwelling back on earth in
the next Scripture:
"Therefore REJOICE ,
ye heavens, and you ( the raptured Church
) that dwell in them. WOE to the
inhabitants of the earth ( the left-behind
) , and the sea ! for the Devil has
come down to you having great wrath
because he knows that he has but a short
time."
The next Scripture
tells us just how long the devil's "short
time" is before the Second Coming of the
Lord :
" And power was given
to him to continue 42 months (ie. 1,260
days )."
Therefore the raptured
Church is in heaven for the very same
1,260 days that Satan has authority on
earth. The Church is never on earth nor in
heaven at the same time as Satan. At the
end of those 1,260 days is the Second
Coming of the Lord who is accompanied by
His raptured Church,
