Rapture: Be Ready! Do not Delay Your Preparation!

Be ready for the Rapture!
You never know when it will be.
So make sure you are prepared.
Do not wait til it takes place to prepare for then it will be to late.
" Some people have told me that they do not need to get saved now. I asked them what they mean, and they told me I will accept Jesus when the rapture takes place. I don't have time to do it now. I tried to tell them when the rapture takes place it will be to late to get saved. They said they will just pray then and there and will be saved. I asked them to share a sample of their prayer. So they said,sure " Dear God..." I told them to long. Try again. They tried to say "I sinned." I..." I point out no matter what they say after the rapture, it will be to late. Today is the day of salvation....is what God tells us in his word. So they finally admit they do not want to be saved. "-Greg Laurie,radio pastor
"Ah, the rapture, is coming, I am afraid I will be left behind!" -is this you, my friend, if it is then accept Jesus today ,for you might not have the opportunity to do so later

April 2009: Only God Knows the Day,Month, and Year of the Rapture!

So many people out there want to guess the day, month,year, and very hour of the Rapture!
This is very foolish.
Not only is this foolish,but is also a sin.
Those who guess such a thing must not remember or choose to ignore what Jesus taught in Matthew Chapter 24-25 about the Second Coming. Though the Second Coming is a separate event than the rapture these facts remain the same about both events...
1. "No man knows when..." they will happen
2." No angel knows when..." they will happen
3. Jesus while during his earthly ministry did know when the rapture would happen
4. We should be prepared !
5. We should not be lazy,sitting around just looking at the sky all day,or doing nothing.
6. We should be busy praying,studying the Bible,attending a church where the Bible is taught,and inviting others to church,singing praises to God,telling others about Jesus love for them, about Jesus death on the cross for sinners, his burial and resurrection!
7. We should be a good example to others as Christians-believers in the LORD-as those who have accepted God's gift of grace and mercy, and been born again spiritually-redeemed-and saved!

Pre-Tribulation Rapture:Supported By the Bible!

There are different teachings out there about the rapture and how it fits in with the tribulation period.
These different teachings have to do with the timing of the rapture.
There are three of them to be exact.

1. Pre-tribulation Rapture
2. Mid-tribulation Rapture
3. Post tribulation Rapture

• While the Bible does not support the last two teachings, the mid-tribulation rapture and the post tribulation rapture, it does indeed support the pre-tribulation rapture teachings.
• The mid -tribulation rapture is the teaching that the rapture takes in the middle of the tribulation period.
  
• The problems with this are the following:
• 1. This puts the Church on the earth at the beginning of the tribulation period.
  
• 2. This means that Christians would have to go through the first half of the tribulation.
• 3. This goes against Jesus Christ teachings about the tribulation period in Matthew Chapters 24-25, Mark Chapter 13, Luke Chapter 21, and the Apostle Paul's teachings about there being no condemnation for the believer in Romans, and the Apostle Paul's teachings about the rapture in I Thessalonians 4:13-18.
• 4. There is no warning in the Bible for the Church on what to do during the tribulation period to avoid being killed, or any other warning for the Church at all.
• 5. No sufficient support for this teaching at all in the Old or New Testaments.
  
• The post-tribulation rapture is the teaching that the rapture takes place after the tribulation period.
• Problems with this are the following:
• 1. This puts the Church on the earth at the time of the tribulation period for the entire event.
• 2. This means that Christians would have to go through the tribulation.
• 3. This goes against Jesus Christ teachings about the tribulation period in Matthew Chapters 24-25, Mark Chapter 13, Luke Chapter 21, and the Apostle Paul's teachings about there being no condemnation for the believer in Romans, and the Apostle Paul's teachings about the rapture in I Thessalonians 4:13-18.
• 4.There is no warning in the Bible for the Church on what to do during the tribulation period to avoid being killed, or any other warning for the Church at all.
• 5. It makes no sense because the second coming of Christ takes place after the tribulation period sometime,so the Church would be raptured up only to be brought back to the earth immediately afterwords.
  
• 6. Defeats the purpose in the rapture to keep the Christians from the judgment upon those on the earth during the tribulation period.
• 7. No support for this teaching at all in the Old or New Testament.
  

Conclusion: Part A. The Pre-tribulation Rapture is the only one supported by the Bible,so it is the real deal!
Part B. If you know, you will be here for the tribulation period,you are a fraud-non believer who needs to be saved.
Part C. If you think you might be here for part or all of it,but are a believer/Christian (person who has accepted Jesus,gotten saved) already,you have not studied about the end time prophecies portrayed in the Bible enough.
Part D. If you still have doubts about the end times study the Bible prophecies about it in Revelation 11, Daniel Chapters 9,11-12,Matthew 24-25, Mark Chapter 13, I Thessalonians Chapter 4, II Peter Chapter 3, and various other Bible passages.
If you are not sure where you will be during the end times you are either a. lost,b.backslidden,or c. not into the Bible enough as a Christian.
