What could or would we do to prepare... If we knew that was the case, how would we be preparing? If we knew that was the case, would we be afraid?
TO STUDY
It has been a popular belief that we as Christians will simply be caught up and escape all things in the end times. If this is not a fact, many Christians will be upset, depressed, disillusioned and unprepared when they have to endure and overcome persecution and more. They could be decieved, weak or a poor witness. RAPTURE article video web site |

IF WE WATCH FOR JESUS' RETURN, Only the Father in Heaven knows the hour that Jesus Christ will return. - - - - -
Rev 3:3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee. - - - - - 1Th 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 1Th 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 1Th 4:18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words. 1Th 5:1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. 1Th 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 1Th 5:3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. 1Th 5:4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. - - - - - Lk 17:26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. Lk 17:27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. Lk 17:28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; Lk 17:29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Lk 17:30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. Lk 17:31 In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back. Lk 17:32 Remember Lot's wife. Lk 17:33 Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it. Lk 17:34 I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. Lk 17:35 Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Lk 17:36 Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Lk 17:37 And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together. - - - - - Mt 24:39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Mt 24:40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Mt 24:41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Mt 24:42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. Mt 24:43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Mt 24:44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. Mt 24:45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? Mt 24:46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. - - - - - Jn 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Jn 14:28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I. - - - - - Lk 21:35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. Lk 21:36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. - - - - - 2Th 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; - - - - - Jn 14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. Jn 14:2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. Jn 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. Jn 14:4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. - - - - - Rev 7:9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; - - - - - Col 3:4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. - - - - - Dt 30:4 If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from thence will the LORD thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee: - - - - - Jesus was caught up or ascended to the Father in Heaven after His death and resurrection. The Bible recounts three other instances where people were caught up from the earth. Elijah, Enoch and another individual who is not named. These scriptures are for you to study and pray about - no one knows the hour when the Lord returns to gather His people. We know by events that the time is near and our duty is to watch and pray.
