"Don't Get Left Behind!"



"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)





It will be a day, or a night, just like any other, but something will happen in 1/44th of a second, which will devastate the world!  Millions of people, from planes and even cockpits, from automobiles, from trains, from offices, from homes, from every place all over the world, will suddenly vanish.  There will be no warning, no sirens, no alerts, no newsflash to get ready on your TV screen  ...  nothing  ... just GONE  ...  If it's daytime where you are when it happens, and people are walking their dogs, the dog will stop and sit down with leash attached, but no human  ...  just empty clothes lying beside the wondering animal.  All up and down the streets will be crashed cars, trucks, and buses, with empty clothes lying on the sidewalks and the grasses, no drivers in those crashed cars and vehicles  ... People will be aimlessly crying and walking the streets.  Why?  Their loved ones are missing; their neighbors and friends are missing, and they don't know where they've gone  ...


  "In a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet.
For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable,
 and we will be changed."
(I Corinthians 15:52)

There will be some, of course, who will blame it on UFO's, or some other wild explainable mysterious happening, but those who have had any biblical teaching, who have read their Bibles, who sat in Church at some time in their lives, or who have read a blog just like this  ...  they will know  ...  And, the sad thing is that if they know and they're still here in earth  ...  they will remember the title of this simple little blog, "Don't Get Left Behind."




When the trumpet sounds and Jesus catches us away to meet Him in the air, whether it's morning, night or noon, He's coming for something of value, because the Bible says He comes "as a thief in the night."  That meaning of value is that we must be saved, sanctified, redeemed, and washed in His blood to be worthy to be caught away.  We must obey what Peter said when the people asked him, "What must we do?"  He had been preaching to them for some time, and they were stirred in their hearts, wanting to know what they must do to be saved.  It has not changed; in fact, Paul said this, "But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed."  Who was we?  He and Peter. 

The life, death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, His blood shed on the cross to take away the sins of the world, and our repentance (likened to His death), our being baptized in His name (likened unto His burial), and our receiving the Holy Ghost and speaking with tongues as His Spirit gives utterance (likened unto His resurrection) is what Paul was talking about.  There is only One gospel, One Lord, One faith, and One baptism; it's all in the Name of Jesus Christ, the Blood of Jesus Christ, and the Word of Jesus Christ.  In Him, Jesus Christ, dwells all of the fullness of the godhead bodily; One sits on the throne!  Hallelujah! 



Our mission as Christians is to make sure no one is "left behind."  We're fighting the devil and his imps, reaching the lost, going back for the wounded, and we're pulling them to safety  ...  Harvest time.  The Lord Jesus Christ wants YOUR shoes to be empty on that day when He comes for His own.  Everyone who is left behind will go through terrible judgment such as the world has never seen; they will have to deal with the antichrist, the mark of the beast, 666; and people who take his mark will have no chance for redemption; they will have sold their souls.  And, people WILL take the mark.  No one will be able to buy or sell without it.  There will be no living in planet earth without it  ... If one refuses to take it; they will be beheaded; they will die.  It's all in the book of Revelation.  We still have a little time, but the clock is ticking away  ...  Get Ready!

  
Almighty God keeps His promises; if He said He will come as a thief and catch us away, He Will; if He said He will come again to earth and set His feet upon the the Mt. of Olives and take back planet earth, He Will!  And, He did say it, and He Will perform it!  The Church is called the Bride of Christ; He longs for His Bride; He's been preparing for her for way over 2000 years.  He will remove her, His Bride before he judges the people left in earth, because of their Sin.  That's why we must be ready for the Rapture of the Church.  You don't want to be here when God's JUDGMENT is poured out by an angry God upon a SINFUL earth.


After the Rapture; there will be the 7 years of Tribulation, or judgment in earth; then, the Lord will return and there will be a new heaven and a new earth.  So, to "Get Ready" is all inclusive of Glory, power, and wonder for the child of God.  It's easy; our assignment is to make sure we are ready, and get everyone we see ready, because we need to make sure that everyone all over the world understands what we mean when we say, "Don't Get Left Behind."
