The Laodicea Christian Church
will be left behind at the rapture of the
Philadephia Christian Church. Those ready
ones, who have heeded the warnings and have
made ready are Philadelphia. Those in the
world, saved, but not ready, will be left
behind to “work out their salvation with
fear and trembling” as required of all
Church ages. It is my belief that these left
behind ones will be in transformed bodies,
however, and will be used to bring in a
harvest of souls that no man will be able to
number. Thank God. It will be just before
the kingdom of the beast, the antichrist. I
Corinthians 15:51 ff speaks of the
transformation of these left behind
Christians. In a moment, in the twinkling of
an eye...transformed.
Would you
please tell me why you think the left behind
Christians left on Earth at the Rapture who
are saved but not ready will have transformed
bodies that are immortal and incorruptible
when they are described as naked and without
white raiment and are told to repent by
Jesus? Please read Rev. 3:14-19 below:
Rev. 3:14-19, "And unto the
angel of the
church of the
Laodiceans write; These
things saith the
Amen, the
faithful and true witness, the
beginning of the
creation of
God; I know thy works, that thou
art neither cold nor hot: I
would thou
wert cold or hot. So then
because thou
art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I
will spue thee out
of my mouth. Because thou
sayest, I
am rich, and increased
with goods, and have need of
nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne."
White
raiment is for he that overcometh according
to Jesus in Rev. 3:5, "He that overcometh,
the same shall be clothed in white raiment;
and I will not blot his name out of the book
of life, but I will confess his name before
my Father, and before his angels." The
unrepentant Laodiceans have no white raiment
which is the raiment of the bride of Christ
who has made herself ready. Or do you think
that the unrepentant Laodiceans are unsaved
people in the church?
A
saved Christian who is not ready who has
defiled his garments needs to wash his
defiled robe in the blood of Jesus by
repenting of his sins and confessing them to
the Lord so that the blood of Jesus cleanses
him of all unrighteousness. He has an
opportunity to be a martyr for Christ by not
worshiping the beast nor taking his mark in
the right hand or forehead, but he or she
will be in a mortal physical body that will
be beheaded. He or she will not have
an immortal body that can't die.
Those Christians changed and
transformed in the twinkling of an eye will
have immortal, incorruptible bodies and go to
heaven at the Rapture, and they have repented
before the Rapture. Please reread 1
Corinthians 15:50-54, "Now this I
say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I
shew you a mystery; We
shall not all sleep, but we
shall all be
changed, In a
moment, in the twinkling of
an eye, at the
last trump: for the trumpet
shall sound, and the
dead shall be
raised incorruptible, and we shall
be
changed. For this corruptible must put
on incorruption, and this mortal must put
on immortality. So when this corruptible shall
have put
on incorruption, and this mortal shall
have put
on immortality, then shall be
brought to pass the saying that is
written, Death is swallowed up in
victory."
