John And Vicky Are Always Exhorting Everyone (Including Other Christians) That "Jesus Is Near And The Rapture Is Soon-Make Sure You're Ready"! Many Christians (As Well As Those Wo Don't Believe In The Rapture's Nearness) Are Frustrated And Offended By John And Vickey. How Persistent Should "Rapture" Preaching Christians Be? What Does God Say About This In His Holy Bible? This Article Will Use The King James Bible To Examine "Rapture" Preachers.
What Is The "Rapture" Belief?
The Bible Teaches That Jesus Will Come Privately (Secretly-Mysteriously) To "Catch Away (Carry Away-Take Away)" Bible Obeying Christians Into Heaven (The Holy City Jerusalem-Galatians 4:24-26; Revelation 21:1-5; Hebrews 12:22). This "Catching Away" Will Occur At God's "End Of Grace". Heaven's Door Will Then Be Closed Like The Door Of Noah's Ark Was. Satan Will Then Possess The AntiChrist Beast And Hell (God's Dark Fiery Wrath) Will Exist On Planet Earth (Matthew 24:1-5; Psalm 18:11; Revelation 17:1-16; Luke 10:23; Galatians 2:2; 1 Corinthians 12:1-7; Matthew 13:1-20; Matthew 4:17; Matthew 24:29-34; Matthew 25:1-12; Matthew 7:13-29; Revelation 13:1-18; Luke 22:1-5; John 13:20-30; Luke 23:43-46; 2 Thessalonians 2:1-17). Many Christians Call This "Catching Away" Into Heaven, "The Rapture".
Questions We All Need To Ask About The Rapture
I) If Jesus Christ Is Coming "Secretly" How Will Christians Know?
II) What Will Happen To Christians Who Did Not Obey The Bible Before The Rapture?
III) What Are The Requirements To Be Approved By God For The Rapture?
IV) How To "Walk In The Spirit" And Enter Heaven
I) If Jesus Christ Is Coming "Secretly" How Will Christians Know?
Please Read Matthew 25:1-12. You Will Notice That It Is Necessary To Have God's Lamp (The Holy Bible- Psalm 119:105) And Oil (The Holy Spirit-John 14:26; Acts 2:1-30) To Rapture Into Heaven. God Will Also Warn Such Christians Of All They Need To Know And Do To Rapture With Jesus (Amos 3:1-7; Matthew 24:29-34; Matthew 14:24-33).
Jesus Christ Is Never A "Secret" Or "Mystery" To Those Who Have Holy Spirit And Obey The Word Of God (2 Peter 1:20-21; 2 Timothy 3:16; John 17:17; Matthew 13:1-20; John 14:26; Amos 3:1-7; John 3:1-16). Please Be Sure That You Are Led And Filled With God's Holy Ghost (The Holy Spirit) And That You Obey God's Actual Word. The Authorized King James Translation Of The Holy Bible Is One Such Accurate Translation Of God's Holy Word (Revelation 22:18-20; John 17:17).
II) What Will Happen To Christians Who Did Not Obey The Bible Before The Rapture?
Please Read Matthew 25:1-12; Matthew 7:13-29; Luke 6:36 And John 15:10-15. Any Christian Who Wasnot Led By The Holy Spirit And/Or Didnot Obey An Actual Copy Of God's Word Will Be "Left Behind" During The Rapture. They Will Be "Left Behind" On Planet Earth To Be Attacked And Persecuted By Satan's Beastly Kingdom. The Only Way To Enter Heaven After The Rapture Is To Reject The Beast And His Mark. The Devilish Beast Will Have The Authority To Kill Anyone He Desires To Kill On Planet Earth (Revelation 13:1-18; Revelation 12:1-17).
III) What Are The Requirements To Be Approved By God For The Rapture?
A Person Should Pray This Prayer To God Through Jesus Christ: "Father God I Confess My Sins Before You. I Beleive That You Gave Your Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ To Die For All My Sins And Take My Sins Away On The Cross. I Ask You Now To Please Forgive Me Of All My Sins And To Send Jesus Christ To Be My Lord And Savior. Please Fill Me With Your Holy Spirit. In Jesus' Name I Ask. Amen (Holy Ghost) (Matthew 4:17; John 3:1-16; Romans 10:10-13; 1 John 1:7-10; John 14:26; Acts 2:1-30; John 14:13)".
Once A Person Has Said That Prayer They Are Born Again (John 3:1-8). They Are Saved From The Condemnation For Their Sins. As Long As They Continue To "Walk In The Holy Spirit" Of God They Will Rapture With Jesus Christ (John 4:24; Galatians 5:16, 25; 1 Corinthians 15:50-54; 1 Thessalonians 4:14-17).
IV) How To "Walk In The Spirit" And Enter Heaven
1) Prayerfully Request That God's Holy Spirit Renews Your Mind And Cultivates In You The Mind Of Jesus Christ. You Can Learn The Mind Of Jesus Christ By Reading The Four Gospels And Keeping Your Mind On Jesus Christ (Romans 12:1-5; Philippians 2:1-12; John 14:4-7; John 3:1-8).
2) Ask God's Holy Spirit To Help You Only Think On The "Things Of The Holy Spirit" (Philippians 4:6-12).
3) Ask God's Holy Spirit To Help You "Cast Down" Anything That Is Not God's Truth Found In The Holy Bible (2 Corinthians 10:4-7).
4) Regularly Ask The Holy Spirit To Help You Repent Of Your Fleshly (Earthly-Worldly) Ways And Submit To The Ways And Fruit Of God's Spirit (Galatians 5:1-25; 1 John 2:15-17; 1 Corinthians 6:1-13; Matthew 4:17; John 14:4-7).
5) Ask God's Holy Spirit To Help You Not Worry But To Prayerfully Trust In God And Accept The Peaceful Presence Of God's Spirit In And Through You (Philippians 4:6-8; Matthew 6:25-34; Proverbs 3:5-8).
6) Ask God To Develop Your "Gifts Of The Holy Spirit" That God Has Given You (1 Corinthians 12:1-20).
7) Ask God's Holy Spirit To Help You Cultivate The "Whole Armor Of God" Which Is Your Holy Spirit Defense System Against Satan And His Entire Kingdom (Ephesians 6:10-18; Luke 4:1-8; 2 Corinthians 4:4; Matthew 4:1-11; Luke 10:17-23).
8) Do Your Utmost To Associate With Bible Obeying Christians. Try To Find Those Who Believe In The Imminent Rapture. If They Are Bible Obedient Christians You Can Encourage Them In God's Word And Way (1 John 14:4-7). You Can Also Use The Internet To Connect To Others. The Main Thing(s) You Will Need To Do Is To Separate Yourself From The Disobedient And Non Believers. God's Wrath Quickly Approaches Such Ones (2 Corinthians 6:14; John 17:1-22; Matthew 10:33-42).
How Persistent Should A "Rapture" Preacher Be?
Read Genesis 19:1-32; Luke 16:19-31 And Matthew 25:1-12. In Each Case These "Followers" Of God Thought That They Were "Rapture (Judgment Day) Ready". However When Jesus Delivered Them Over To God's "Hell Fire" They Sought God's Mercy. Jesus Christ Said That Most Christians Are Disobedient (Like "The Rich Man"-Luke 16:19-31) And Won't Beleive In The Rapture Or Be Raptured. They Will Cry Out For God's Mercy When Satan's "Hell On Earth" Begins. Yet God Will Not Hear Them Or Show Them Mercy (Ezekiel 9:1-20). Appreciated Or Not: Anyone Who Is Persuaded To Become Rapture Ready Has Been "Snatched" From Fiery Hell (Jude 1:23; John 10:28). Your Persistent Will Be Appreciated Then.
Be Like Lazarus The Beggar And Continue To Beg For Salvation Souls (Revelation 22:17-19).
