End times

[Salt]

1Th 5:9 KJV For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

The rapture would have to be before the wrath of God of the 7 yr triblulation starts.

Isa 26:20 KJV Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.

Zep 2:3 Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD's anger.

LESSON OF THE 10 VIRGINS - Only five were ready for the rapture and the 'marriage supper of the Lamb'.

Mat 25:1-13 GW "When the end comes, the kingdom of heaven will be like ten bridesmaids. They took their oil lamps and went to meet the groom. (2) Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. (3) The foolish bridesmaids took their lamps, but they didn't take any extra oil. (4) The wise bridesmaids, however, took along extra oil for their lamps. (5) Since the groom was late, all the bridesmaids became drowsy and fell asleep. (6) "At midnight someone shouted, 'The groom is here! Come to meet him!' (7) Then all the bridesmaids woke up and got their lamps ready. (8) "The foolish ones said to the wise ones, 'Give us some of your oil. Our lamps are going out.' (9) "But the wise bridesmaids replied, 'We can't do that. There won't be enough for both of us. Go! Find someone to sell you some oil.' (10) "While they were buying oil, the groom arrived. The bridesmaids who were ready went with him into the wedding hall, and the door was shut. (11) "Later the other bridesmaids arrived and said, 'Sir, sir, open the door for us!' (12) "But he answered them, 'I don't even know who you are!' (13) "So stay awake, because you don't know the day or the hour.

Rev 19:7-9 KJV Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. (8) And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. (9) And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.

The 'marriage supper of the Lamb' appears to happen in heaven (during the tribulation) before the second coming of the Lord with His saints:

Zec 14:5 KJV And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.

Are you ready?

I found these remarks by G. Campell Morgan to be similar to my own, even though he admits himself "many devout devout students of prophetic truth differ"

"I am convinced that not all Christians people will be taken to be with Christ on His return, but only those who by the atttude of their lives are ready for His appearing. They who remain and pass through the Tribulation will be awakened by the stupdenous events of their times to the privilage of witnessing for the TRUTH (my emphisis ) in that age."

....From Biederwolf's Millennium Bible

Then hardly anyone would get there, then.

I'm certainly not close to God at present...

[Aim_64bIT]

The Lord is coming like a thief in the night. There will be a rapture. I like the way Clarence Larkin put it. Its an analogy. A thief comes quickly, without notice, does not come to stay, takes the valuables, leaves more than he takes.

Oh well....more elbow room for the rest of us then

Is that a joke?

[Guest nancynne1]

I know that Jesus said that he will come as a theif in the night, butn in the Bible, there are statements that say there will not be a rapture???

Contradiction?

It can't be!

Surely not!

Can anyone explain?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I don't know if I can explain, other than no one knows the time, or the hour,

we just know to be prepared at any given time. As the world is going down, we must continue to look up and help others to reminded to look up, and keep the faith, at every hour, of every day , while we can still call it a day.

A little something for some serious thought:

I'm sure that I have not seen any date setting that I have agreed with in my 58 years of life and 40 of christian study....... but this really makes a lot of sense.

Don't know if there is a rapture, but we may well see in the very very very near future.

If no rapture and this time schedule is anywhere as accuriate as it seems to me, the tribulation may be upon us.

Greetings~

When someone passes away unexpectly. To me this anwers the verse in the Bible about not knowing the time or day.

Plus in a way this is a rapture.
