Article: Rapture Signs?

by on Apr.04, 2010, under The Rapture

Article: Rapture Signs? ::: From: www.raptureforums.com

The thing that makes the Rapture almost a sure certainty is that in Scripture it is written that we are to be on the Watch for Jesus because one of His Returns is going to happen as a Surprise.

This is where a Distinction is made between those who have the right Biblical Interpretation/Theological Understanding of Bible Prophecy (or Eschatology – The Study of End Time Things) :::: and those who don’t ::::

With Bible Prophecy — If you get this right, you will understand how “The End of The World” Develops/Happens.

Daniel’s 70 Weeks Prophecy is Perhaps the Greatest Prophecy in The Bible — The Prophecy states that when a 7 Year Peace Deal/Covenant is confirmed with Israel and (Others) “The Many”  — The End Of All Things Will Take Place (With-in a 7 Year Time Frame)

In Essence there will be absolutely Zero Surprise of knowing when Jesus will Return. Because at the End of The 7 Year Peace Deal or 42 Months from when the Anti-Christ enters a To Be Built New Temple in Jerusalem ~~ Jesus Will Return at Armageddon, then Set up His Kingdom on Earth for 1,000 Years !!!!! So this is a Total Known & Exact Time of when Jesus Returns !

The Surprise Return of Jesus is The Rapture, this can happen at any time before the Anti-Christ Confirms a Peace Deal with Israel and “The Many” !!!!  The Peace Deal could happen at any Time ! Meaning the Rapture Has: “Serious Possible Overtones of Occurring Soon” 🙂

Maranatha !! 🙂

note: The Rapture happens as a Total Surprise.  One of Jesus Returns in The Bible is likened unto a Thief Striking ~ At an Unknown Time, That’s why Christians are to always be on the Watch for Jesus To Return, as a Wise Bridesmaid, having Oil in Our Lamps ~ Matthew 25:1-13

The Watching for Jesus to Return at an Unknown Time, is in Stark Contrast of Knowing Exactly When Jesus is Going to Return, from Understanding Daniel’s 70 Weeks Prophecy ~ In that Jesus Returns 7 (Exact) Years from the Signing/Confirming of a Peace Treaty with Israel by the Anti-Christ

We could put the whole 2nd Coming of Jesus Return into Semantics and be like, well The Bible is talking about the Whole 7 Year End being as the Surprise to Watch for, in having to Watch for Jesus To Return ~~ Well if that’s true, cool 🙂 ~~ But The Rapture still seems to make the most sense 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 Revelation 3:10 ~ Because thou hast kept the Word of my patience, I will also keep thee from the hour of trial that shall try all those who dwell on the earth.

{While the Tribulation is taking place on earth, in Heaven The Saints will most likely be at The Bema Seat and at their Mansions, with the Marriage Supper of The Lamb happening, maybe right before our Return to Earth or happening on Earth after our Return} ~~ We will Return with Jesus on White Horses accompanying Him from Heaven, as Jesus wages war at Armageddon ~~

Revelation 19:9 And He saith unto me, write, Blessed (To Be Envied) are they which are called unto the Marriage Supper of The Lamb, And He saith unto me, these are the true sayings of God.

Maranatha 🙂 !!!!!!! 🙂 !!!!!!! 🙂 !!!!!!!! 🙂

Watch For Jesus To Return ~~ (The Unknown Time) ~~ The Rapture :::::  vs. Knowing Exactly When Jesus will Return ~ Daniel’s 70 Weeks Prophecy @ Armageddon

><>

key point :: The Rapture is going to happen as a Surprise and Christians are to Always be Ready 🙂

The Bible says too, that Christians are not in Darkness that “That Day” (The Day of The Lord { End of The World Stuff } [ You could even say the Rapture too ] ) should overtake us as a Thief — 1 Thessalonians 5:4 :::::::::::::: Being everything that is happening in the World in Relation to The Bible/Bible Prophecy, The Rapture Could Be Soon ! 🙂

><>

p.s. Even if the Rapture doesn’t happen, no big deal, because the End is only 7 Years long, and if we are alive and see A 7 Year Peace Deal signed with Israel and Others by a single person (The Anti-Christ) then cool – that means only 7 years left 🙂 But the end is going to be really bad – lots of people will die.

The Rapture makes the most sense, because The Bible says we are caught up to meet Jesus in the Air 1Thessalonians 4:16,17 ~~ When Jesus Returns at Armageddon, His Feet touch down on The Mt. of Olives in Jerusalem, splitting the Mountain in two.

That wouldn’t make a lot of sense, to be Raptured up to the air at Armageddon, then come right back down to earth ~~ Plus if that did happen, who would be the people who would enter in to populate the Millennium, if everyone is in a Glorified State? 🙂

Lastly, an Article on Rapture Timings 🙂 The Rapture happening during the Trib: Mid or Pre-Wrath – doesn’t make a lot of sense either, because the Surprise Element of Jesus Return is significantly reduced. A person who knows Bible Prophecy would know that Jesus would be Returning in a Known 3-1/2 To 7 Year Window of Time.

He is not here … He is Risen !!!

Colossians 3:1-4
1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. (KJV)

On the cross ~

1.“Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.” Luke 23:34
(He asked for forgiveness for those who crucified Him)

2. “Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.” Luke 23:43
(He promised the penitent thief he would meet the Lord in paradise that very day)

3.“Woman, behold thy son!” Then saith he to the disciple, “Behold thy mother!” John 19:26-27
(He made provision for the care of His mother by the apostle John)

4.“Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Mark 15:34
(He made a statement of isolation. Psalm 22:1)

5.”I thirst!’ ” (John 19:28)
(He expressed physical agony when He acknowledged His thirst)

6.“It is finished” John 19:30
(He made a statement of victory, not defeat)

7.“Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit” Luke 23:46
(He breathed His last. Psalm 31:5)

Matthew 27:57-66 When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus’ disciple: 58 He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered. 59 And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, 60 And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed. 61 And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre. 62 Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate, 63 Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again. 64 Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first. 65 Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can. 66 So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.

Matthew 28:1-20 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. 2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. 3 His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: 4 And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men. 5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. 6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

Colossians 3:1-4

1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

7 And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you. 8 And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word. 9 And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him. 10 Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.11 Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done. 12 And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers, 13 Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept. 14 And if this come to the governor’s ears, we will persuade him, and secure you. 15 So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.

16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. 17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted. 18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
