Ready Or Not?

Ready Or Not?

"And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates, and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared."  (Revelation 16:12)  The end times are upon us; the coming great Battle of Armageddon, the mark of the beast, the Rapture of the Church, the great and terrible Tribulation period, the one world government, the one world currency; the rise of the Antichrist, and the "end" as we know it; "Are You Ready?"

                                                                     Mark of the Beast

"And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads.  And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, for the number of his name.  Here is wisdom; let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is six hundred three score and six." (Revelation 13:16-18)  The Bible states all of these things will happen before the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.  And, we can see how this scripture is absolutely true, since "chips" are already being implanted in animals and humans.  All they have to do is scan one's hand or forehead in any store; it's all set up!  But, the Lord has made a way of escape for those who are ready to meet Him in the air at the Rapture of the Church; Are You Ready?

The Four Horses of the Apocalypse

The Four Horses of the Apocalypse are pawing the ground, ready to ride!  The white horse, red horse, black horse, and the pale horse represent the antichrist, war, famine, and death.  You say, "This all sounds a little strange."  Really?  All we have to do is take a look around the world and we see these things already taking place, except for the rise of the antichrist  ... However, he is alive and ready to emerge upon the scene at any moment. 

"Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye

may be accounted worthy to escape all these

things that shall come to pass, and to stand before

   the Son of man." 

(Luke 21:36)

How can we be ready?  Repent of all of our sins; be filled with the Holy Spirit of God and speak in a language we have never learned as His Spirit gives us the utterance; and be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of our sins.  This is the salvation message for all mankind to obey in order for us to "escape" the "judgment" that is coming on the earth for those who rejected Jesus Christ and His blood shed for them on the cross.  He does not condemn those who repent of their sins.  "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit."  (Romans 8:1)  He is coming back for those who belong to Him and He has prepared a glorious place for us that where He is, we may be also.  Ready or Not, He's coming! 

The Rapture of the Church is the event that all Christians anticipate, hunger for, await with gladness and joy, prepare for, and we anxiously shout for it with the word, "Maranatha," which means Come Quickly, Lord Jesus!  He will come in the clouds to meet us in the air when the Rapture occurs, "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 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." (I Thessalonians 4:16-17)
