Rapture Ready

Paul, plainly—clearly—prayed for the Thessalonians that their whole body, soul and spirit would be preserved blameless unto the coming of Jesus Christ (1 Thess. 5:23). And, that God would establish their hearts in holiness as unblameable, and this, at the coming of Jesus Christ with all His saints (1 Thess. 3:13). With all His saints? Yes, with all His saints, which is impossible to be an at-once pre-trib Rapture, because all the saints don’t return until the traditional Second Coming (Rev. 19:8-16). Indeed, and often overlooked, the mistaken pre-trib Rapture passage begins with these very words: “For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him” (1 Thess. 4:14).

Four times in the Bible, Christ comes with all His saints. Then, the dead in Christ are resurrected on the Last Day (John 6:40) to meet their alive spirits at the traditional Second Coming—with all His saints. Even so, is this information presented to prove the accuracy of Second Coming Only Theology? God forbid! For there is a coming of Christ long before the Second Coming, even though it is not an at-once Rapture of the entire Church. That coming is Christ’s Like Manner Bridegroom Return, which represents a Summer Harvest, not a full Fall Harvest (Matt. 24:32). In other words, Christ returns for the soberly prepared who are watching in That Night—who have put on faith that works by agape love (1 Thess. 5:6-8)!

Sadly, the four watches aren’t being taught in our churches, or in our books, yet these summer night-time Roman watches are clearly taught in our Bibles as our duty and principle of watching. Indeed, Christ will come with two male witnesses, just as He left Acts 1:10. Likewise, as the early Church looked up in awe, surprise and wonderment at Christ's ascension, so will Christ so return in surprise fashion. In fact, John 14:1-3 clearly teaches Christ’s Bridegroom Return, that is, in the Day of our Redemption (Eph. 4:30).

Now the Day of our Redemption is the Day of Christ (2 Thess. 2:2), the very day that we are to hasten (Greek: earnestly expect) in 2^nd Peter 3:12, being the Day of Jesus Christ in Phil 1:6, 10. Of course, the Day of Jesus Christ is the same Day that will come upon the world (and many in the Church) unawares (Luke 21:34), and this, as a thief in the night (1 Thess. 5:2). For which reason we are to provoke one another to love and good works, and even more so as we see the Day approaching (Heb. 10:24-25). Indeed, we are to pray always to be accounted worthy to escape, and stand before the Son of man (Luke 21:36). Yet, this is something that few Christians do, seeing that they have been deceived in not to expect the Day of Christ before their redemption (2 Thess. 2:3).

Verily, there will be a Summer Harvest (Mat. 24:32), with a Jewish Wedding Door. So then, we must be prepared, lest our Lord closes this Bridegroom Door to unprepared Christians (Matt. 24:32-33 25:10; James 5:9; Rev. 3:20).By the way, pre-trib is pre-night, or before the coming of Christ as a thief (Rev. 3:3, 6:15) in the night (1 Thess. 5:2). Behold, I show you a mystery, the deep Great Tribulation Church shall not all die. Conversely, we who are alive now and well beforehand are promised the Wedding Feast in Heaven (John 14:1-3), not death! (The mystery revealed!)

In sum, Will you join me by releasing a PSA for Midnight'sCry? And, investigate the preponderance of the evidence for Christ’s Bridegroom Return in the prior night of That Day—before the Day dawns (2Pet. 1:19)? Indeed, will you allow the first light AFTER THE NIGHT (the Daystar) to arise in your hearts? The More Sure Word of Prophecy?

Well, I leave you with a favorite passage of mine, even though it is supposedly parabolic, and it supposedly doesn't mean a thing:

"But know this, that if the goodman of the house (the pastor) had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore be you also ready: for in such an hour as you think not the Son of man cometh. Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods" (Matt. 24:43-47).

Because the above doesn't match what they think or know, biblical scholars have deemed this warning of Christ as parabolic, or allegoric. But I tell you it is literal, just as Luke 12:36 is also literal, which, without coincidence, is completely surrounded by non-parabolic language!
