There must be a reason why I focus on the Rapture of the Church so often. For one thing, it is a blessed hope and assurance for true believers in the Savior Jesus Christ. (Titus 2:13). For another reason, the Rapture is imminent, which means it could happen at any time. We do not know the day or the hour, but Jesus gave us signs for us to know when we are in the "season" of His return. Read Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21 for these signs. We are definitely in the season of the Lord's return right now because so many signs of it are converging all at once now in this last "hour" of the end times we find ourselves living in.
Why am I posting another video on the Rapture ? This video stands out because so many facts are presented in it -- in one video - that have been discussed by various scholars in a variety of sources. This video by prophecywatchers.com with host Gary Stearman interviewing Dr. David Reagan is jam packed with lots of nuggets to digest concerning the history of the Rapture view in centuries past and so much more. Lots of information in this 29 minute video will keep your interest.
In the description area of this video on You Tube, it says: "The Apostle Paul described the Rapture as a mystery. Today, almost 2,000 years later, it is still a mystery to many Christians."
One thing brought out in the above video is the thought that satan does not want us to have hope. To not believe in the Rapture is to have no hope.
They also discuss the fact that the word Rapture is in the Bible. In Greek it is Harpazo and in the Latin Vulgate Bible it is Rapio, or Rapturo, where we get the English "Rapture". This is brought out in 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 where the English words "Caught up" occur.
I have written about how the word Rapture is in the Bible on other occasions. One article was written on October 10, 2017, which includes another video by prophecywatchers.com featuring Jeff Kinley. It discusses the future of America and is well worth your time to watch as it is only 29 minutes long.
Now the question is, are you Rapture ready?
You are if you are a born again true believer in the Savior Jesus Christ!
What if you are not saved? You have no blessed hope. You will face God's wrath.
What to do then?
Admit you are a sinner and in need of a Savior.
Believe in Jesus Christ and in the redemption He provided by His shed blood on the Cross. He was our substitute. He bore our sins so that if we but believe on Him, we may gain eternal life.
Call on the name of the Lord. Commit your life to Him. Confess your sins in true repentance.
Jesus will welcome you to the family of God with wide open arms of love and forgiveness !
Romans 10:9,10,13 tells us: (9) "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. (10) For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (13) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
The good Lord has made it simple for us to be saved. A child can understand it. But man makes it complicated by not wanting to give up secret and "favorite" sins. Man can get quite comfortable and set in his ways and not want to give up whatever vices he may be guilty of.
Friends, just surrender to the good Lord with all of your heart and trust Him to help you to change through the power of the Holy Spirit. If your heart is right, He will mold you into a new Creation.
"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are past away; behold, all things are become new." - 2 Corinthians 5:17
Time is short.
We are living in the last moments of the end times.
Don't delay!
Maranatha!
