THE RAPTURE IS DIFFERENT FROM THE SECOND COMING.

God bless you for taking your time to study.

THE RAPTURE IS DIFFERENT FROM THE SECOND COMING.

TEXT: 1 CORINTHIANS 15:51-58 
 
SUNDAY AUGUST 7th

Key verse: 1 Thessalonians 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”.
The Rapture is not the same as the second coming of Christ. At the Rapture, Christ will appear in the air. He will not be visible to the inhabitants of the earth. His mission then will be to resurrect all the dead saints, who, along with the living believers, will put on immortality and shall be caught up to be with the Lord. This event will take place in the twinkling of an “eye” before the great and terrible day of the Lord when the wrath of God will be poured down from His cup of indignation without mixture an event fitly called the great tribulation.
The second advent will not take place until after the great tribulation. The time of the rapture is unknown, even by the angels (Matthew 24:36). The rapture will be heralded by the voice of the archangel and the blowing of the trumpets signaling the end of the church age.
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
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: 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.
Any moment from now, the trumpet shall sound and He that shall come will come and will not tarry. Christ is certainly coming back again. He assured the church of the certainty of His coming (John 14:1-3). Angels proclaimed it. Apostles and saints throughout the ages preached it. All the signs of His coming are daily being fulfilled. It is now time to get ready for Christ coming.
 
Thought for the day: All the signs for His coming are fulfilled. 

Song for the day: Do you know there is another fellowship in Heaven?

Bible reading for the day: 
Psalms 79-82; Romans 8:1-18

THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS

REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD. THURSDAY 30 DECEMBER THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS TEXT: NUMBERS 14: 26-31  Key verse: Matthew 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many  be called, but few chosen. Completion of the angelic message: The Lord continued. “Because of this mandate given to you, I am removing around you the uncircumcised leaders. I am going to fill their place with righteous and holy leaders from various nations and races.” Truly I had pondered if any minister has suffered like this. People I loved, cherished and lived peacefully with suddenly began to speak evil against me to my shock. Well, it happens in politics, but is limited to their countries, whereas mine is international! Yes, some ministers may have suffered these things, but that was before the advent of the Internet, so their sufferings were limited. Maybe through letters or newspapers for a limited time, but my own is in the world of the I...
