First, and of primary concern, is the fact and the truth that the Rapture of true believers could happen at any time - it is imminent! However, Jesus told us that no one knows the day or the hour:
"But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but My Father only:" - Matthew 24:36
Following is an hour long video on what happens after the Rapture and how it affects those who are left behind. After the video will be given links to how you may purchase copies of a DVD of this video for you to give to family and others who are not now saved, or leave for unsaved family members to find in your home after you are raptured.

Time is short ! We need to warn our loved ones and other lost souls to the urgency to come to a saving faith in Jesus Christ right now!
In my previous post this week (scroll down) I mentioned a wonderful quote by A.W. Pink, only I had to paraphrase and guess at it by memory because I could not find the quote itself then. But God! Yesterday while going over my notes in a journal and while searching for something completely unrelated, I found the quote by Pink ! Here it is: "Our first duty is not to understand but to believe what God has said."
Thinking about the Rapture and Heaven, here is a warm and loving quote by Isaac Watts:
"How divinely full of glory and pleasure shall that hour be when all the millions of mankind that have been redeemed by the blood of the LAMB shall meet together and stand around HIM with every tongue and every heart full of joy and praise. How astonishing will be the glory and the joy of that day when all the saints shall join together in one common song of gratitude and of love and of everlasting thankfulness to the Redeemer! With what unknown delight and inexpressible satisfaction shall all that are saved from the ruins of sin and hell address the LAMB that was slain and rejoice in His presence."
About the fact that God never says "Ooops" : There are some instances in the Bible that make it "appear" as if God made a mistake.
In the future I may devote another article to the topics of how you are not a mistake (as some people have truly felt that way about themselves at times- that somehow they were a big mistake) and also those verses that "appear" that God made a mistake or changed His mind. Most true believers realize the awesome power of God, and His Sovereignty, and that He is incapable of making mistakes ! I intend to research various respected Bible Commentators of old on said verses - on those verses pertaining to how it appears the Heavenly Father changed His mind - such as when Moses interceded for the Israelites when God was angry and wanted to destroy them all and make a great nation instead from Moses. (Exodus 32:7-14) = verse 14 says: "And the LORD repented of the evil which He thought to do unto the people."
As Christians know, The Heavenly Father is Omnipotent, Omnipresent, and Omniscient. Let us just concentrate on His omniscience, which means that He knows all things: the past, the present, and the future. One source tells us that He even knows your thoughts before you think them! God does not make mistakes!!
God also cannot lie! (Titus 1:2). All of His promises will come true! That is why we believers can have confidence in the soon Rapture of Christ's Bride (the Church). Times are urgent, folks! Most of you realize this!
Following are salvation scriptures for those of you who are not yet saved - have not given their life in surrender to Jesus in the belief that He is the Savior and the only way to eternal life. It has recently been brought to my attention that is best to always mention that not only does faith and belief in Jesus save us from hell, but it needs to also be stressed that Jesus saves us from sin ! Before we enter eternity, faith in Christ looses us from the bondage to/of sin! When you place your trust and belief in the Savior, you become a new creation! (2 Corinthians 5:17). Since we are still human and imperfect now, if we sin after becoming a true believer in Jesus, He paid our sin debt in full and is our Mediator now; so if we confess and repent of our sins after conversion, He wipes the slate clean; we are forgiven and still saved!
That reminds me of another quote by A.W. Pink: "It is not the absence of sin, but the grieving over it which distinguishes the child of God from empty professors [of faith]".
The following Scriptures are beneficial not only for unsaved persons themselves, but for Christians to share with family and others who are still lost and do not know Jesus as their Savior - as well as for believers to memorize the following:
"He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him." - John 3:36
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father but by Me." - John 14:6
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." - John 3:16
Have a blessed and Christ centered weekend - and life!
