Get Rapture Ready or will you be be left Behind? Time is short!!
Paul Begley
Jesus is speaking of the end of the world when the universe explodes in fervent heat. If you don't think Jesus is worth the tribulations and trials Christians have endured since the first century, what good is your faith?Jesus says==Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man."
1 Thessalonians 5:9-10
9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath.

Yes, the resurrection of the Just, followed by the rapture happens on the last day. All remaining are consumed in the conflagration of the universe.Go back and read in context and see what Jesus is talking about.

I believe the world could end today. Nothing remains yet to be fulfilled.Yes!!! Some people may even pray that they are left behind on rapture day and face the wrath of God, WHY?? BUT Jesus says==Jesus says==Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man." Luke 21:36
Amen. The KJV reads "that ye be accounted worthy". We must yield to the Holy Spirit to get the wrinkles, spots and blemishes out of our garments. Jesus is coming for a glorious Bride adorned in white, washed in the blood of the Lamb.Go back and read in context and see what Jesus is talking about.

Concerning the Rapture, I am pre-Trib but not pre-trouble. And the sounds of the distant rumbling of trouble appear to get closer everyday for Christians. I am convinced that Christians will not go through the Tribulation period. But that period doesn't just happen. There must precede it a mindset that is overall against God and Christ and the Bible. A mindset that is willing to see Christians as evil and to have them killed.
And how would one prepare for the Rapture? Being a Christian includes people into the Rapture, whether they hold to it or not. I suppose to be taken at a time when my walk with the Lord is good and I am in fellowship with Christ would be ideal. And that is encouragement to maintain my walk. (1 John 3:3)

While I agree it is important to be ready to go, I feel it is just as important to be ready to stay. Regardless of one's end times beliefs until they're history, they are all only possibilities, speculations and assumptions about our understanding of prophecy. Nothing is guaranteed accept the fact of His return.
The New Heavens and earth will never end.The world will never end!! Revelation 21:3 And I heard a great voice out of Heaven, saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them; and they shall be His people, and God Himself shall be with them and be their God.
But scripture nowhere mentions a pre-trib rapture or 7 year tribulation.Yes!!! Some people may even pray that they are left behind on rapture day and face the wrath of God, WHY?? BUT Jesus says==Jesus says==Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man." Luke 21:36

As you know, I can't see it myself. I cannot se the patterns in scripture. Aaron did not fly from the door of the Tabernacle into the Holy of Holies , he walked carrying the blood.. We walk, baring the Blood of the Lamb.
Daniel was not zapped out of trouble , God kept him IN and Through trouble...same with Joseph too, same with the three in the fiery furnace.
2 "When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. "
I believe that the last standing saints of the Most High will be ready..if it is in our time...(which kinda looks like it right now)...
I believe it is a time for standing up and being counted, not zapped out.
I see the great army...Jesus the Head with His Body. = The two Olive Trees ..
against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.Rev 11
3 " And I will give power unto my two witnesses, ( Jesus Head, .. and His Body on earth ) and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war
