今天我们把赞美归给耶稣。过去几天我一直在祷告，与耶稣就圣徒在空中相聚或被提的事情，谈了我的问题。我对此作了一些研究，因为我们都知道，被提rapture这个词并不是圣经中的。但它所包含意思是在圣经中的，这个词符合圣经关于被提的教导。而关于被提的许多教导，基督教教会很少很少提及。举个例子说基督教教会教导：“只要相信被提，你就不会经历大灾难，因为，在灾期到来之前，你已经被提走了”。但我们知道耶稣并没有这样教导过。举个例子说，如果你查看马太福音24章的话，在那里你会看到耶稣谈论了大灾难。如果你查看21节，耶稣说，“因为那时世上将有空前绝后的大灾难。 如果不缩短灾期，恐怕没有人能活命。但为了选民的缘故，灾期必被缩短。”(马太福音 24:21-22 当代译本)
你在这里会看到选民、灾期必被缩短和大灾难。所以许多人都会有这样的问题：“那我们什么时候升上去与主在一起呢?” 接下来的29节中耶稣说道：“当灾难的日子一过，‘太阳变黑，月亮无光，众星陨落，天体震动。’” 这些事情是在大灾难之后直接发生的。
“那时，天上会出现人子降临的预兆，地上的万族都要哀哭，他们将看见人子带着能力和极大的荣耀驾着天上的云降临。 在响亮的号声中，祂将差遣天使从四面八方、天涯海角招聚祂拣选的人。”(马太福音 24:30-31 当代译本) 那这里提到的“招聚”， 或说“召集”在一起，天使把大家招聚起来，并不是在大灾难之前，如果你查看29节，这些发生在灾难的日子一过。所有发生在这个世界上的灾难和试炼，都是为了炼净我们，是为了净化主的教会，你和我当然都会经历大灾难，世上没有一个人可以逃离试炼、磨难和大灾难。我们都要经历这些。
而如今教会却在教导说：“我们不会遭受逼迫，我们也不会经历试炼和灾难，我们会被提走，我们会在那之前被救，” 这些教导都是谎言。
那我们究竟会躲开什么呢？我们躲开的是接下来要发生的上帝的审判。在我们被召集离开这个世界之后，被圣灵从世上带走之后，世人就不会再经历由人或他们的迫害（人造成的悲痛）带来的考验和灾难了，但世人会遭受上帝之手降下的审判，而这个审判不再是为了炼净他的教会，而是为了审判和惩罚那些拒绝悔改的罪人！
在这个时期，世上的任何人都不会再有机会悔改。当真正的圣徒都被带到天上时，世人都会捶胸哀哭，他们看见人子带着能力和极大的荣耀驾着天上的云降临，他却再也没有机会认罪或悔改了，他们知道自己的命运已经注定了，正像挪亚方舟的门被关上时，那些被关在门外的人即将溺毙时的哀哭！他们也可能会说：“上帝，请再给我们一次机会!” 但再也没有得救的机会了。夜晚已经降临，雨水降下，洪水也奔涌而来，整个世界都被淹没了，所有的人都死在了洪水中。同样的情景将会再次发生，只不过这次将会用火。我们需要预备好，因为（通往永生）的门正在关闭。
我想与你分享当我祷告求问关于被提的事情时，主指示给我的几件事。其中一个非常有意思的是“被提”RAPTURE这个词的含义，如果你查看一下被提的希腊文含义，意思是“我们被接去”或“我们被取去”，“被接去”这个含义让我想到，在耶稣讲到关于末世的时候，马太福音的24章里面曾经记录过他所说的,“那时，两个人在田里，一个将被接去，一个将被撇下； 两个妇人推磨，一个将被接去，一个将被撇下。 (马太福音 24:40-41 当代译本)”
所以我祷告说：“主啊，他们被接去哪里了呢？我不关心这是发生在世界的哪里，因为我知道这是一个世界范围的事件。”
上帝的圣灵指示给我，这个问题也正是当时耶稣的门徒问的问题。而我从来没有想到过这些。因为我一直认为门徒们问的是：“在哪里，主啊？这会发生在哪里呢？（注：中文圣经路加福音这样翻译的）”而实际门徒们问的是：“这些人会被接到哪里去呢？”
真正有意思的部分是，耶稣回答门徒那些人会被接去哪里的时候，用了一个双关谜语，这句话究竟怎样理解，取决于你站在哪一边，两种解释都是正确。所以，当耶稣回答他们他们会被接去哪里时，如果耶稣所对话的这些人，是被取去受审判，被接去地狱，就像所有错过方舟的人都受到了审判一样, 他们被取去了，他们是被暴风雨取去。所以如果耶稣回答的这些人是被取去到地狱，那他们就不是一个身体，他们会是一具尸体，并且一具尸体有非常负面的含义。因为他不是基督的身体，而是一具死去的身体。耶稣说过“尸体在哪里，秃鹰就会聚集在哪里。”有一些解释认为，秃鹰在属灵上是负面的含义，秃鹰代表着魔鬼，代表着死亡，因此如果你是被取去审判，而你问主啊，在哪里呢？或者这些人被带到哪里去了呢？他们被带到了审判中，恶魔把他们的尸体带到地狱。秃鹰代表的恶魔，恶魔得到许可，可以享用你的肉体，并且把你接去受审判，接你去地狱。但从双关语的另一面看，如果他们是被带去到永生，那这个问题“他们被接去哪里”的答案是，他们被接去是作为一个肢体，成为基督的身体，他们乘坐着鹰的翅膀，被接到像云彩一样的见证人中间，就是天国。因此无论以何种方式解释，都是对的。但这取决于你是属于基督的身体还是撒旦的身体，世界的身体。因此耶稣以双关语的方式讲了这样一个谜语。这同时意味着两件事，就是在世界末日的时候，无论你是站在哪一边的，世界都会结束。要么，我们会被接到如云彩一样的见证人中间，与耶稣永远永远同在，要么会被带到地狱接受永远的审判，就是本来为撒旦和他的天使/恶魔们准备的。我们将会在天堂或地狱中度过永恒的时光。我们应该要选择与耶稣一起进入永恒的生命。
我知道关于被提有许多错误的欺骗的说法。许多人认为你必须要相信，一定会在大灾难之前被提。耶稣会在地球上的一切变得败坏之前把你接走，如果你不相信这些，那你一定不会被提。
但耶稣从没提到这些，他从来没有期待我们可以理解他整个的计划，或者彻底明白所有的教义。耶稣一直看的都是我们的心，如果我们的心预备好了，如果我的心在主眼中是清洁的，因为他正在洁净我们并且给我们穿上白袍，所以无论什么时候他来召集我们，我们都是已经预备好的。许多人并没有准备好自己的心，因为他们一直把信心基于被提上，当他们走完一生，直到死亡耶稣来的时候，他们去见耶稣，他会对他们说：“走开，你们这些犯罪的人，我不认识你们。”他们并没有准备好迎接主，但我想准备好迎接耶稣，我想让他说：“我忠心的仆人，做得好。”我想带着感恩的心进入他的同在。
关于被提我向主祷告的另外一个问题就是，为什么使徒保罗会提到睡了的灵魂。因为我知道灵魂是不会沉睡的，这有明确的证据，因为耶稣曾经说过，上帝是活人的上帝，不是死人的上帝。而且也有许多圣徒去过死后的世界，他们回来也提到了那里的人是怎样活着的，包括大卫王，还有其他信心的伟人，包括他们的家人都在天堂。他们并不是长眠于地下等候被提。但是如果你读使徒保罗的书信，你就会得出一个结论，认为古时候的人，从耶稣死里复活开始，到现在，所有死去的人都已经睡了，他们在这个世界已经死了，到最后那一天就是末日审判的时候，当耶稣吹响了号角，那些在基督里死的会首先复活，然后等到那些已经离世的基督徒复活了之后，我们这些还在世上活着的人也被提到了空中。因此我祷告说：“主啊，为什么保罗会这样说呢？因为我知道那些人已经在天国了，那些在基督里已经死了的人并没有在沉睡中等候被提，他们已经在天国与你在一起了呀。” 然后主让我看到这些灵魂之所以先于我们上去，是因为他们先于我们而走，他们在我们之前就已经死了，你看所有在我们之前的信主的人，比如说我妈妈，她是一个信徒，她去了主那里，所有这些人都在我们之前已经被提了，或者已经被接走了，被带到了天堂。
他们肯定不是因为比我们去世的早就躺在土里等着被提。如果我今天死了，主会把我取去带到他的面前，我也知道我妈妈已经在天堂了，那些在我之前已经去世的人，并不是在土里等着，而是已经和主在一起了，因此每一个被接走或被取去的人，都是在他们咽下最后一口气，立刻被接走了。从我们的视角看，似乎什么都没有发生，没有人被提，没有任何超自然的事情发生，在我们的角度看，人类的死亡已经持续几千年了，但我们必须记住，要从上帝的视角来看一千年就像一天，而所有的这些事情对他来说，也不过是几秒钟发生的事，因此在上帝看来，或者当他试图解释被接走、被提这件事，或者聚集他的教会，他的圣徒被聚集起来的时候，在我们看来，这一切必须是在同一时刻发生。
如果你看过好莱坞对被提的演绎，当号角吹响的时候，看起来就像是每个人在同一时间一起上天堂。但是从上帝的角度来看，每个人的被提几乎在同一时间发生的，但从我们的角度来看，整个事情，教会的被提从开始到现在已经两千年了。我妈妈是在五六年前去世的，而其他有信仰的兄弟，在十年二十年，五十年八十年前去世了，他们那时就已经被提走了，他们已经被接到主那里去了，已经被接到了如云般的见证者中间。如果你看一看关于被提的画，虽然在人们的描述中，他们相信这一切都会发生在同一个时间，但在画里你会注意到有的灵魂在空中更高的位置，而有的灵魂则在下面一点刚刚离开地球，如果这一切是在同一时间发生，那所有的灵魂都应该在同一个高度，但是有些灵魂确实要比其他的灵魂更高一点，这个事实表明那些更高的灵魂比低的灵魂更早的离开他们的身体。
从我们的视角看待事物，我们可以将一切解释为自然的；人们只是死了，没有人被提，没有任何超自然的事情发生。 但是有一天，我们将从主的角度来看，我们是否配得进入他的国。 我们将看到，我们在做的这些事情，如果我们是在上帝的灵里做的，就是超自然的。 我们将不再从现在这面模糊的镜子里看事情，而是从天父的角度看它们。 基督教现在最大的问题是，他们不是从上帝的角度看事情，而是从好莱坞的角度看。 他们从所有假先知的角度看，就是那些占卜师的角度，宣扬耸人听闻的东西，使人们怀抱错误的希望，认为他们不必与耶稣一起忍耐或经历磨难到最后，他们把所有的希望放在对耶稣错误的认识和对圣经的错误解读上。 但如果我们想从上帝的角度来看事情，那么我们只要去祷告说："主啊，告诉我这些都是什么意思，帮助我了解你是谁，我想从上帝的角度来看。 我不想从人的角度或我自己对经文的解释来看，我想看到实际发生的事情。 你就是真理，你就是道路，你就是生命！" 如果我们开始让耶稣成为我们的老师，如果我们开始让他的灵引导我们，那么他就会引导我们进入真理，我们就不会被人们关于被提的想法，或者他们关于未来会发生什么的想法所欺骗。
我知道现在网上有很多关于被提的时间的猜测，人们说敌基督或沉沦之子（灭亡之子）几年后就会显现出来，我不太清楚，我想他们说的是2025年或什么时候，然后认为在那之后再过三年，也就是2028年教会就会被提，他们根据他人对所谓启示的认识，提出所有这些假设性的想法，他们认为他们已经弄清楚了上帝的计划。 但事情不是这样的。 没有人能够阻止上帝的计划。 如果人们能够明白上帝的计划，那撒旦当然也就能够明白，撒旦当时就能够挫败上帝的计划，他就能杀死耶稣，他就能够找到童贞女玛利亚，并在一切发生之前毁掉她，但事情照上帝的计划完成了。尽管有许多关于耶稣将在哪里出生、何时出生以及如何出生的预言，但没有人能够破坏上帝的计划，所有那些试图杀死婴孩耶稣的人，没有人成功，他受到了上帝的保护，所以要明白，上帝比撒旦更强大，我们没有人能知道他的计划。
我们不能用预言来预测未来，我们也没有办法用经文或试图弄清楚接下来会发生什么事，来将自己的生命或他人的生命引入永生。但如果我们在上帝面前谦卑的说，“耶稣我相信你，我想拉着你的手和你一起走，我不明白将会发生什么，我不明白这些预言，但我相信你，主我也把我的生命交给你，我愿献上我的一切，成为被你使用的器皿，我信任你，我信任你的计划，我信任你的道路，我愿与你同行，即使我不明白，但我知道你为我而定制的计划是最好的。” 如果我们能像孩子一样充分信任他与他同行，那他会带我们引导我们进入永恒的生命，我们不必担心别人的想法，也没必要担心如何为自己定制进入永生的计划，不需要去关注越来越多的书或者评注里面所写的，也不需要听从那些对未来的预测说，下一步地球上将会发生什么新冠或什么战争或什么饥荒，或者还有什么接下来要发生的。我们完全不需要担心这一切事情。
与耶稣的关系是在于与他同行并信任他每天都凭着信心，而不是凭着我们的眼见来行走，每天都要否认自己背起我们的十字架，凭着信心与他同行，如果我们凭着信心生活，那我们属灵的生命就会一步一步的成长起来，主在我们与他同行的时候会给我们启示，当我们信任他的时候，他也会知道我们在信任他，他就用更多的真理来喂养我们，他也会给我们越来越多令人惊叹的启示，这样我们也可以鼓励别人，因为我们是直接由赐生命的主来养育的，而不是被一些牧师们自己研究出来的知识，或通过圣经学习中学到了一些陈旧的知识来喂养着。
所以我想鼓励你的是，被提这件事是真的，但并不是像基督教会所宣扬的方式发生。但是人会被接走，会有圣徒们的团聚，也会有如云一般的见证人。我们会如鹰一样上腾，在空中与主相会，我们会如鹰展翅上腾，我们是基督的身体，我们也是上帝所拣选的，如果我们选择与他同行，拉住他的手直到最后，我们都会经历被提。
但是那些认为自己有资格的基督徒，他们感觉自己才应该是被提的人而不是你，这些基督徒会被逼迫，会经历考验和灾难。最终他们被留下来的时候，他们会经历到人生中最恐惧的时刻，当他们站在门口敲门的时候说：“主啊，请给我开门。”但他们却被拒之门外，主会对他们说：“走开，我不认识你们，你们这些犯罪和做恶的人。” 因为这不在于相信教会教导的某些教义，也不在于“正确”，而在于我们跟从了谁。这在于我们跟随和认识耶稣基督，被他的圣灵所引导，如果我们被他引领，即使我们不能完全理解，即使我们对圣经的想法可能有一点偏差也没有关系，因为是耶稣自己在引领我们，他会纠正我们，他也会管教我们，他最终会领我们进入永生。
所以不要因为人们对被提的那些想法，因为他们不同的解释而感到灰心丧气，不要因为这些感到失望，要把目光放在耶稣身上，要知道他会带领我们、引导我们，他知道自己的计划，而我们并不需要知道这些，我们只需要相信他，并拉住他的手直到最后！愿耶稣的恩典与你同在。
Praise Jesus today everyone. The last couple days I was praying and talking to Jesus about some questions I had in regarding the gathering together of the saints in the air. And this “snatching up”, or this “being taken up”. And I did a bit of research on this, because we know that the word “rapture” isn’t in the Bible, but that idea certainly IS in the Bible, it is a Scriptural teaching about the rapture. But a lot of the teachings around the rapture that the Christian church has taught are very VERY poor, for example, the Christian church teaches; “Just believe in the rapture and you won’t have to go through great tribulation, you will be snatched out BEFORE this time period…” And we know that Jesus didn’t teach that, for example, if you look at Matthew chapter 24, you see Jesus talking about the great tribulation, if you look at verse 21 Jesus says; “For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time nor EVER shall be, and unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved, but for the elect’s sake, those days will be shortened.” So, you hear about the elect and these days being shortened and the tribulation, so then the question is for a lot of people; “Well, WHEN are we going to go up and be with the LORD?” And what Jesus says about this in verse 29 is; “Immediately AFTER THE TRIBULATION of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give it’s light, the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heaven’s will be shaken…” So, it’s directly AFTER the tribulation that these things are happening. “Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with POWER and great glory. And He will send His angels with a sound of a great trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of the heaven to the other.” So, this gathering together, or this being “caught up” together, when the angels are gathering everyone is NOT BEFORE the tribulation, but if you look at verse 29 immediately AFTER the tribulation of those days. See, all of these tribulations and trials that happen in the world, happen for our refinement, for the purification of Jesus’s Church, you and I absolutely WILL go through great tribulation, NONE of us are going to escape trials and tribulations and great tribulation on the earth, ALL of us go through that. So, this belief that the Christian church has been teaching, that we will not suffer persecution, that we will not go through trials and tribulations, that we will be caught up, that we will be saved from that, IS ALL A LIE.
But what we WILL be taken away from IS THE JUDGMMENT OF GOD THAT HAPPENS NEXT. After we have been taken out of the world and the Holy Spirit retracted from the world, the world is NOT going through trials and tribulations anymore that just happen by men or their persecution (men inflicted grief) But what the world will experience is the hand of GOD’S judgment, and it’s NOT for the sake of refining His Church anymore but it is for judgment and punishment for sinners who refuse to REPENT! And at this period of time there will be NO MORE CHANCES for ANYONE to repent on the earth. When all the true saints have been pulled up to heaven, the world will mourn, they will see the sign of the Son of God coming on the clouds with POWER and great GLORY, and they will have NO MORE opportunity to repent or confess their sins, they will KNOW that they are the damned, exactly like how all of those who were shut out of Noah’s Ark were mourning when they were drowning. They were probably saying; “Please give us another chance God.” But there was no more chance or opportunity for salvation. The night had already come, the rain was coming down and the floods coming up and the whole world was drowned, ALL of them died in the flood. And the same thing is going to happen again, but it will be with FIRE. We need to be prepared because the door (to life eternal) is closing. I want to share with you a few things that the Lord showed me while praying about the rapture, and one of them is, interestingly enough, the meaning of the word “RAPTURE”, if you look this up, the Greek idea of rapture, what it means is “We are taken away” or “We are caught up”. And this idea of being TAKEN, it reminds us when Jesus speaks about the end, He speaks about this in Matthew chapter 24, when He says; “Two men will be in a field, one will be TAKEN, and the other left, two women will be grinding at the mill, one will be TAKEN, the other will be left…” And I prayed about this and I said; “Lord, where are they being taken to, I don’t care where in the world this is happening, I know it is world wide…” And the Holy Spirit of God showed me that this is the exact same question that Jesus’s disciples were asking, and I had never thought of it like that, because I had always thought that the disciples were asking; “Where Lord, where will this take place.” But the disciples were actually asking; “Where are these people being taken TO?” And here’s the really interesting part of this, when Jesus gives His answer to His disciples to where they are taken, it is a twofold riddle, and depending on which way you take it or which side you are on, BOTH are the right interpretation. So, if these people that Jesus is talking about, when He’s answering their question of WHERE ARE THEY TAKEN TO, if they are taken into judgment, if they are being taken to HELL, like how all of those who missed the Arc were TAKEN in judgment, they were TAKEN away, they were TAKEN by the storm, so if these people that Jesus was speaking about were being taken away into HELL, then they are not just a body, but they are a corpse, and a corpse has a very negative connotation, it’s NOT the Body of Christ, but it is a DEAD BODY, and some interpretations are written that Jesus said that; “Where the corpse lies, there the vultures will be gathered.” A vulture also has a very negative implication spiritually. A vulture represents a demon, it represents death. And so, if you are being taken in judgment, and you are asking “WHERE LORD?” Or where are this people being taken? THEN, they are being taken in judgment, and they are taking your dead corpse to HELL, vultures representing demos, demons are allowed to feast on your flesh and to take you to judgment, take you to hell. BUT, on the flip side of this riddle, if they are being taken into everlasting life, and the question is; “Where are they taken.”, then they are being taken as a BODY, which is the Body of Christ, and they are being taken on the wings of the Eagle up to the cloud of witnesses, which is in the heavens. So, whichever way you interpret this is going to be right. But it is hinged upon whether you are part of the Body of Christ or the body of Satan, the body of the WORLD. So Jesus gives this riddle in a twofold manner that it can mean two things and it is BOTH where ALL the world will end IN THE END. Either we will be on the cloud of witnesses that will be with Jesus Christ for ever and ever, caught up to be with Him, or we will be taken down to Hell, into judgment for all eternity, that was supposed to be for Satan and his angels/demons.
We’re going to spend either eternity in heaven or in hell. And we have to choose to go with Jesus into everlasting life. I know there are a lot of deceptions about the rapture. People think that you have to believe in a pretribulation rapture, that you have to believe that Jesus is going to snatch you up before things get really bad on this earth, and if you don’t believe that then you won’t be raptured. But Jesus never spoke about that, and He never expected us to understand His whole plan or to understand all doctrines perfectly. But Jesus is always looking at our hearts, and if our hearts are prepared, if we have made our hearts and pure before the Lord, because HE is purifying us and putting on our white garments, then whenever He calls, we will be prepared. A lot of people will not be prepared, but they have been putting their faith in the rapture and they will go their entire life, up to their death, and when Jesus comes, when they go to meet Jesus, He will say to them; “Away from Me, you who commit iniquity, I don’t know you.” And they NOT have been prepared to meet the Lord. But I want to be prepared to meet Jesus, I want Him to say; “Good and well done my faithful servant…” I want to enter into His presence with thanksgiving.
One of my other questions about the rapture that I was praying about to the Lord is; “How is it the Apostle Paul spoke about souls sleeping.” Because I know that souls don’t soul sleep, and this is evident by when Jesus was speaking about how God is the God of the living, not the God of the dead, and also many saints have seen the afterlife and came back to report how they saw people there; such people as King David, other great men of faith and even their own family members in heaven. They are not “soul sleeping” in the ground waiting around for the rapture. But if you read the Apostle Paul’s words you may come to the conclusion that all the people of old, up from the point of time that Jesus resurrected from the dead, up to the present time, that all of the dead are sleeping, meaning that they are just dead in the earth, and then on the final day, on the final judgment, Jesus blows a trumpet, and the dead in Christ rise first, then AFTER the dead in Christ rise THEN we also will hear that trumpet and go up to heaven. So, I was praying about this; “How Lord, can the Apostle Paul say this, because I know people are already in heave, those who have died in Christ are not just soul sleeping, waiting for the rapture, they are already in heaven with YOU.” And the Lord showed me that the reason why these souls proceed us, or they go up first is because they have gone BEFORE us, they have DIED before us. See, all the people who went before us in the faith, such as my mom who was a believer, who went to be with the Lord, all of these people had their rapture, or their GATHERING up, their snatching up to heaven before we have. And they certainly will NOT be waiting in the dirt for their rapture until we have. If I die today, and the Lord snatches me up and I am brought before Him, I can know that my mom is already in heaven, and that those who have deceased in their physical bodies before me, are not just waiting dead in the earth, but they are already WITH THE LORD. So, every single person who is caught up or raptured, IT HAPPENS AT THEIR FINAL BREATH. From our perspective it looks like nothing’s happening, no one’s being raptured, nothing supernatural is happening, in our perspective people have been dying for thousands of years. We have to remember that from God’s perspective 1000 years is like a day. And all these things have been happening in seconds for Him. So in God’s view, or when He tries to explain the snatching up or a rapture, or a gathering of the Church, a gathering of His saints, how it appears to us is; “All of this must be happening at the same time…” And then if you have seen Hollywood’s rendition of the rapture, it looks like everyone just goes up to heaven all at the exact same time, when the trumpet blows, but from God’s perspective IT IS happening pretty much at the same time, but from OUR perspective, this whole thing, this rapture of the church, has been taking 2000 YEARS! You know, my mom died 5, 6 years ago, and other brothers in the faith have died 10, 20, 50, 80 years ago, but their rapture, or their snatching up to the Lord to be in the cloud of witnesses happened at THAT period of time. And even if you look at the pictures of pictures of people being raptured, if you look at people’s renditions that believe it all happens at the same time, you will notice that there are souls higher UP in the air, and there are souls lower down that are JUST leaving the earth. Now if it all happed at EXACTLY at the same time, then all the souls should be at the same altitude. But the fact that there are some souls higher than other souls indicates that those souls that are higher left their bodies earlier than those souls that are lower down. (Indicating a progression of departures throughout time)
In our perspective of things, we can interpret everything to be natural; people have just been dying, no one’s been raptured, nothing supernatural is happening. BUT ONE DAY we are going to see from the Lord’s perspective, if we are worthy to enter into His Kingdom. And we will see that all these things that we were doing, if we were doing them in the Spirit of GOD, were supernatural. We will see things not in this dim mirror that we see them now, but we will see them from our Father’s perspective. And the big problem that Christianity has right now is that they are not looking from GOD’S perspective, they are looking from Hollywood’s perspective. And they are looking from the perspective of all these false prophets, who are soothsayers, who are preaching sensationalism, who are making people have FALSE hopes, thinking that they don’t have to endure with Jesus or go through trials and tribulations to the end, they have put all their hope in this FALSE image of Jesus and all this false interpretation of the bible. But if we want to see from God’s perspective, then we just have to pray and say; “Lord, show me what these things mean, help me to understand who you are, I want to see from GOD’S perspective. I don’t want to see from men’s perspective or my own interpretation of the Scripture, I want to see what is actually happening. YOU are the Truth, YOU are the Way, YOU are the Life!” And if we start to make JESUS our Teacher, if we start to make His Spirit our guide, then He will lead us in the truth, we won’t be deceived by people’s ideas of the rapture, or their ideas about what will happen next.
I know on the internet right now there are a lot of speculation when the rapture will take place, people are saying that the antichrist or the man of perdition will be revealed in a few years, I don’t know I think they are saying 2025 or something, and then then think 3 years after that will be the rapture of the church, and they make all of these assumptive ideas based on other people’s knowledge of supposed revelations and they think they have the plan of God figured out. Gut that’s not how it works. No one can be able to foil God’s plan. If people could understand God’s plan, then certainly Satan would have been able to understand it, and certainly Satan would have been able then to foil God’s plan, he would have been able to kill Jesus, he would have been able to find the Virgin Mary and destroy her before, but as it happened, EVEN THOUGH there was all these prophecies about where Jesus would be born and WHEN He would be born and HOW it would take place, NO ONE was able to foil God’s plan, all of those who were trying to kill the baby Jesus, NONE of them was able to kill Him, He was protected by GOD, and GO FIGURE, that GOD is MORE powerful than Satan and NONE of us know His plan. We will not be able to predict the future using prophecies, we will not be able to navigate our life or other people’s lives into eternity just using Scriptures or trying to figure out how all of this stuff will take place. BUT, if we are just HUMBLE before God and just say; “Jesus, I trust you, I want to hold your hand and go with you, I don’t understand what is going to take place, I don’t understand all these prophecies, but I do TRUST YOU LORD. And I do give you my LIFE. Everything that I am, I want to be a vessel to be used by YOU, I TUST YOU, I trust your plan, I trust your way, and I will walk with you, even if I don’t understand because I know that your plan for me is BEST.” If we can be as Children, walking with HIM, then He will lead us and guide us into EVERLASTING LIFE, and we won’t have to be worried about what people think or worried about navigating into eternity by just reading more and more commentaries and more books and listening to what prophets will predict with the next wave of (I don’t know), covid or the next war or the next famine upon earth or the next prophet that comes out. We WON’T have to be worried anymore about that stuff. A relationship with Jesus is about walking with Him, and trusting Him. Walking by faith, not by sight, every single day. Every single day denying ourselves, picking up our cross and going with Him by FAITH. And if we live by FAITH then step by step we grow spiritually. The Lord gives us revelation as we walk with Him. And when we trust Him and He knows that we trust Him, then He feeds us more of His truth, He gives us more of His awesome revelation. And then we can encourage others because we are being fed by the LIFE GIVER, not just by some regurgitated information from a pastor or some old information from a bible study.
So, I want to encourage you that the rapture is real, it doesn’t happen as the Christian church is preaching, but THERE IS A SNATCHING UP, THERE IS A GATHERING of the saint, there is a cloud of witnesses. We WILL go be with the LORD in the SKY like the eagle, we will raise up like the wings of the eagle, we are the BODY OF CHRIST and we are the ones who are God’s Elect, IF we choose to stay with Him and hold His hand to the VERY END. But those Christians who feel entitled, that feel like they are the ones who are going to be raptured, not you, that they will be sucked out of persecution, trials and tribulations, they are going to have the scare of their life when they are LEFT BEHIND, when they stand at the door knocking saying; “Lord OPEN TO US!” and they are SHUT OUT and the Lord says to them; GO AWAY, I DON’T KNOW YOU, you who commit sin and commit iniquity. It’s not about believing certain doctrines that the church has taught, it’s not about being “right”, but it’s about who we FOLLOW. It is about following and knowing Jesus Christ, being led by His Holy Spirit. And if we are led by Him, even if we don’t understand perfectly, even if our ideas of the Bible are a little bit off, it doesn’t matter because Jesus is leading us, He will correct us, HE will discipline us AND HE WILL LEAD US INTO EVERLASTING LIFE.
So, don’t be discouraged by people’s ideas of the rapture, their different interpretations. Don’t be discouraged by any of that, but rather keep your eyes on Jesus, knowing that He will lead us and guide us. He is the one that knows His plan, we don’t have to know it. We have to TRUST HIM and hold HIS hand to the VERY END! May the grace of Jesus be with you.
