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. 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.
This is our greatest hope. We are ever ready to be caught up in the clouds on His coming. Bible has shown us the parable the 10 virgins. All of them knew the groom will come to receive them. However, we see that only 5 out of 10 were prepared. Jesus’ coming is not an illusion. Jesus himself assures that.
Johns gospel 14:3 says :
And if I go and prepare a place for you , I will come again and receive you unto myself: that where I am there ye may be also.
Gods desire is to take us where He is. Let us see an example; A father who is residing in a foreign country for work desires to take his family along with him. Similarly God also wants to take his family to where He is, and establish them there. Even the angels also testify about the coming of the Lord. Jesus Christ. Acts of Apostles 1:11 which also says;
“Ye men of Galilee, why stand gazing up into heaven”? This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
From all these verses, we can ensure that the coming of Jesus Christ. Therefore we have to prepare ourselves and keep us holy. When trials and tribulations come into our lives we have to overcome them and stand firm in faith. Many people leave faith without fighting the enemy. But if one receive the heavenly revelation, then these trials and tribulations will be counted as nothing.
PRAYER:
Heavenly Father, it is your will that all reach eternity without perishing. These days help every one know to you and establish an eternal relationship with you and be prepared to go with you when you come to this us with you.
Amen.
