I Thessalonians 4:13-18; Revelation 19:11-16
Christ’s literal and visible return is “at the door.” As the song writer wrote “…signs of the time are everywhere…” Even non-Christians feel that “something has got to give”…well, that “something” is SOMEONE!
Adrian Rogers, who is with the Lord now, said, “I am convinced that there are some things in the book of Revelation that will not be known until they are unfolded. Some prophecies await fulfillment for understanding. The bottom line is this: Jesus is coming, and I am certain of that and very, very glad. I have resigned from the program committee, and have moved over to the welcoming committee. Even so, come Lord Jesus!”
We are now witnessing the “stage” being set for the last and greatest event in the history of the world. The return of Christ is in two parts divided by seven years call the Tribulation period. The “rapture” has to do with His coming “FOR” His saints while the “revelation” has to do with His coming “WITH” His saints.
We must remember, however, that most of the prophecies have to do with the second part of His return, the “revelation”, therefore, the “rapture” is imminent. The first time Christ comes “for” His children, He will come in the clouds and we shall meet Him IN THE AIR. The second time, seven years later, He will return “with” us TO THE EARTH to rule and reign for 1,000 years after the Battle of Armageddon.
Christ came to earth as a “Lamb” to sacrifice His life to cover our sins with His blood and provide His righteousness for us to receive by faith. His cradle rocked the world!
He is coming back as “THE LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH” to settle the score once and for all.
We are beginning to feel the pressure mounting in our nation and around the world. Note: Matthew 24:1-14. But “God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” (2 Timothy 1:7). We need not panic. We who know Christ and believe the Bible, which has never been wrong about anything, have confidence, courage and “peace which passeth all understanding.”
THE FUTURE IS HERE!
