https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BB_9Ub4W2nI#t=39  Have you done some deep thinking regarding the rapture?  Why would God snatch a segment of believers out prior to demonstration of His Wrath upon the Earth? What makes you sure that it’s true, can you demonstrate from scripture and what do you say to other believers who may have alternative beliefs?  When does the rapture happen, according to events in scripture?  Why do Jesus, Paul, Peter and John repeatedly sound the trumpet for “readiness” with Christians?  Isn’t being saved all that I need to consider with regard to “Harpazo” or “rapture”?  If being saved is all that I need be concerned with regard to rapture, what does being saved look like?  What part does the Holy Spirit of God play in salvation?  Is it possible to be saved without being sealed by the Holy Spirit?  Is there a reward for being the only group in human history to have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit?  Does God treat differing groups with differing judgment. or are we all held accountable to the same standards?  Should I be concerned about convincing other Christians about rapture when they resist the truth of scripture regarding this mystery?

The simple question is, “Do you wish to be here on the Earth during the seventieth week of Daniel, commonly know as the period of tribulation?”  Are you amazed that it is a choice?  Have you been thinking that it was a lottery or some system of pick and choose?  Belief in rapture is scriptural and has to do with the God we serve and the promises He made to believers.  Jesus, Himself made promises to the churches in Revelation 2 and 3 regarding the tribulation, some He warned that they would be included if they did not repent and others He encouraged would be “saved” from this Wrath to Come.  How many of you realize that these letters to the churches from the Lord were meant for all of our ears?  As in all of scripture, these were not letters of antiquity to churches existent at the time of Jesus’s Ascension, but were clear direction to all believers, all churches, all time periods.  We are to be “ready” for coming judgment and to escape the brutality, tragedy and horror of coming judgment we must be found compliant with God’s Will.  To do this we must learn those expectations.  If you haven’t studied Revelation 1, 2 and 3 then it is likely you do not know what the Lord expects of us as believers.  Study up, get ready.
