Are you rapture ready? Do you often wonder what will happen to those that are left behind? This book is for every born again Christian, who believes that Jesus will return for His bride, which is the church. The Lord began to deal with me regarding this important event, six years ago. I truly believe that now is the time for this message, to be revealed to the body of Christ.
Let me start by first saying, this book is about helping those that will be left behind. We must start from where the church is actually rapture, for you to get an understanding.
IThess. 4:16-17 For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first. Then we, which are alive in and remain, shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
During the time of the tribulation, there will be a seven-year period. The first three and years will be peaceful (a false peace), but the latter three one half years will be very devastating. The word of God says it will be so bad, that He will have to shorten the days, so that all mankind will not be destroyed. Many of us have been taught that this powerful man, also known as the anti-Christ, will rule the earth during this period. He will confess to be God. This is brought to your attention for one purpose. This man will not allow anyone during this period to buy, sell, or trade without taking a mark in the forehead or in the hand. For more information about this topic, I encourage you to read and study Revelation 13:16. There will be a one-world government during the tribulation period.
The Bible precisely describes the time length, in which the bride of Christ will be reconciled to her beloved groom. The Bible describes the rapture. (I Thess. 4:16) For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first. How long will we be away with Christ? Revelation 11:3 (also study Daniel 11& 12) give details about the period of the gentiles. The word gives us a time period of forty-two months; which is equivalent to three and a half years. It is also mentioned, in the book of Revelation and Daniel a time period, of another three and a half years. It will be so bad, that God will shorten the days.
(Revelation 7:9) After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; (Rev.7: 13-16) And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? And whence came they? And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, these are they, which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve Him day and night in His temple: and He that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sunlight on them, nor any heat. In this passage alone, are many proofs of things to come. Let us take a closer look at these verses, to get an understanding of what the Lord is revealing to His beloved children. A great multitude that no man can number signifies there will be a great harvest of souls, who will accept Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. Notice that they all have on white robes, and have been washed by the blood of the Lamb. They have accepted the Son of the Most High God; or they would not be in His presence. Secondly, why did the Lord allow the elder to ask the question of who these people were? He wanted us to know; not be mistaken that these are the people, left after the rapture. The people mentioned in this chapter, are not the saints that were ready during the rapture. They are the tribulation saints. Third proof, the elder question is answered in such a way that even a child can understand. Verse 14 reads Sir thou knowest, which let us know the elder knew the answer all along. God wanted us without a shadow of doubt, to know as well.
We know, that Jesus will soon returned for His bride, which is the church and only those without spot, blemish, or wrinkle will return with him. The Lord is preparing His children right now for this wonderful event. My question to you is, in the event that you are rapture out of here, who will take care of the person(s) that you know that did not get it right with God? I have already explained how we can be of help through out this book. Lets examine the matter a little further; in regards to the will, that you will have executed by an attorney, etc. This clause is only to protect your love ones, family, or friends during the tribulation period. Once the Lord Jesus Christ returns, old things will pass away, behold all things will be new. There will be a new heaven and earth. We will no longer be the same; we will be in our new bodies, in that New Jerusalem for all eternity, there will be no more sickness, death or pain. Dont you want all of your family and friends to be there and experience this peaceful and beautiful place?
