1 Thessalonians 4: 15-18

Matthew 25 1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridgroom. 2 And five of them were wise and five were foolish. 3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: 4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him 7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. 9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. 10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. 11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. 12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. 13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

God’s Blessings and Merry Christmas to All
People : ) The article below is on the Rapture - Watching for Jesus to Return, and Daniel's 70 Weeks : ) And then John 15 from the Bible : ) - I added John 15 to this article : ) So let's jump right into the post from the blog and get a good expounding word, from the Word!! : ) --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luke 12:39-46
---------------------------------------------------------------- This next sentence is addressing a post(s) from the Blog in connection with the European ENP. The ENP gives the idea that we are in the Tribulation, but I disagree with that assertion, but like I said in the blog, just the fact that there's a thought(s) out there that Daniel 9:27 has already been confirmed, just goes to show how close we may really be to Jesus Return : ) Here's my refutation :)
The temple I am under the impression can be built in maybe 3 years. So this being like a big let downer as to the nearness of Jesus return in that it would take a long time to build a Temple, is not necessarily true. I was just reading in 1 Kings in the Bible where it only took Solomon 7 years to build the First Temple in Jerusalem, though he had like 150,000 people working on the Temple : ) But today, a building/structure could probably be completed in 3 years. - { At the midpoint of the the 7 Year End, the AntiChrist will enter the Temple and proclaim himself to be God }
------------------------------------------------------------------
I am convinced because of The Parable of the Ten Virgins who were waiting for the arrival of the Bridegroom which occurred as a surprise, that the Rapture is going to take place the same way -- Matthew 25 is definitely in the Bible - lol's : ) -- vs Jesus returning at Armageddon - Seven specific years from the Anti-Christ's peace deal with Israel. Have Faith in the Rapture - It is a Blessed Hope - Either way though, Jesus is returning and it may be soon!!! I like Believing the Rapture though because it is more true to the Scripture of being commanded to watch for Jesus to Return! Versus just sitting back, and marking off Seven years on the calendar from the signing of Daniel 9:27, and knowing when Jesus will arrive. - But I wouldn't be sitting back, I would be a new super action comic hero, called Super-Evangelizer :) lol's
To Watch means to be on The Alert, to Give Strict Attention!! Matthew 24:42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. Matthew 25:13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh. Mark 13:33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. Mark 13:34 For the Son of Man is a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. Mark 13:35 Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: Mark 13:37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch. Luke 12:38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blesssed are those servants. Luke 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 Revelation 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. Revelation 16:15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ There's no way to reconcile the above verses and say there is no Rapture - The Rapture happens at an unknown time vs Jesus return at Armageddon happening at a knowable time - at the end of the 70th Week, or at the end of the 7 Year Peace Deal - specific/calculable/countable/knowable time. The Rapture has got to be real!!! Because it happens at an unknowable time - fulfilling the verses above : ) And Jesus return at Armageddon, a knowable time - fulfills Daniel 9:27!!!! That's why I took a lot of time to write the Daniel's 70 Weeks Prophecy article, because it is absolutely fundamental to understanding the times we live in or the Last Days. And there are hardly any who really believe and understand how much this prophecy is worth - People don't know how to give Value to this prophecy. This Prophecy of Daniel 9:27 is absolutely key and fundamental to be able to be a Preacher/Pastor/Bible Prophecy Scholar in the 21st Century. If there isn't like a "This is A Pearl of Great Price" approach to Daniel's 70th Week, it will be neglected. Every Preacher in America should be starting his sermon every Sunday at Daniel's 70th Week!!!! And going forward from there - lol's : ) Because we are living in the Times of this Prophecy!!!! Though it hasn't happened yet!!!! But you know what I mean. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Matthew 25 - The Parable of The Ten Virgins is the Rapture. Read The: Rapture Watchman Article for November 2007 !!!!!!!!!!!! I will leave you all with these verses:
13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 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. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words. God's Blessings Everyone :) Vic :)
