Part 2

Rev. 1:7 Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see/gaze upon Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will wail because of Him. Even so, Amen.

Luke 12:2 For there is nothing covered that shall not be revealed, nor hidden that shall not be known.

In order for every eye to see Jesus, they will have to be facing Him. But what if He is facing back at you. And you know that He sees you too! And not only that – you're butt-naked in His sight, body and soul and spirit, you know you are! What will you do in the revealing Light of His Glory, when it is exposing your nakedness to everyone better than any TSA body scanner ever could hope for? Why, you will, if you have not prepared yourself for this moment,

Is. 2:10 Enter into the rock, and hide in the dust,
From the terror of the LORD
And the glory of His majesty.

11 The lofty looks of man shall be humbled,
The haughtiness of men shall be bowed down,
And the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.

Rev. 6:15 And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, 16 and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the Face of Him who sits on the throne and from the Wrath of the Lamb!"
 

So a brief review: Jesus and the Father appear in heaven, and “every eye” sees them, worldwide, living and dead. Everyone is awestruck. Everyone realizes HE sees THEM too, and SEES EVERYTHING ABOUT THEM:

1 Cor. 13:12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.

Luke 12:2For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, nor hidden that will not be known. 3 Therefore whatever you have spoken in the dark will be heard in the light...”

John 3:20 “For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.”

The heathen “tribes of the earth” – that is, flesh-level people, not spirit-level Christians – will be too scared and ashamed to continue standing in the Presence, and they will flee from His Face. For those who are able to stand in that Light, however, it will be different – but more on that later.

Where and when did something very much like this happen before? It happened at Mount Sinai, about seven weeks after the Exodus of the Israelite people out of Egypt:

Ex. 20:18 Now all the people witnessed the thunderings, the lightning flashes, the sound of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking; and when the people saw it, they fell back and stood afar off. … So the people stood afar off, but Moses drew near the thick darkness where God was.

With this background in mind, we can come now to a prophecy of the Rapture that is often ignored, yet sums up everything so far discussed: Hebrews 12:18-28.

18 For you have not come to the mountain [Sinai] that may be touched and that burned with fire, and to blackness and darkness and tempest, 19 and to a sound of a trumpet and a voice of words, so that those who heard it begged that the word should not be spoken to them anymore. ... 22 [RAPTURE:] But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels, 23 to a general assembly and a church of the firstborn having been registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men having been perfected/fulfilled, 24 [and] to Jesus, Mediator of a new covenant... 25 See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven...

Some will turn away from Him, others will move toward Him, just as at Sinai. Some will wail and flee, others will rejoice and ascend:

Matt. 24:30 “...then all the tribes of the earth will mourn/wail, and they will see/gaze upon the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.”

Mark. 13:27 “And then He will send His angels, and gather together His elect from the four winds, from the farthest part of earth to the farthest part of heaven.”

John 3:21 …he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”
