Luke 21:28
King James Version
28 And when these things
begin to come to pass,
then look up,
and lift up your heads;
for your redemption draweth nigh.
What do you think is the most imminent event of all?
Wherein we could be doing our daily chores, work, or tasks, and suddenly, it could happen?
Wherein the shock would be too great to bear, realizing the people we love are gone, in an instant?
Wherein we shall finally see the GLORY of JESUS, and become shamefaced, at not having acknowledged Him?
Wherein those left behind, may not be able to bear the tribulation that will come after?
Many know it as the RAPTURE.
But do you really know its significance?
And imminence?
And realize that we only have THIS MOMENT to get right with GOD?
That every moment, every minute, every hour, every day is GRACE from GOD?
That we are being given a chance to seek GOD, become born again, believe in JESUS, repent, believe, and share the Gospel?
For the time is "at hand".
The "time is fulfilled".
JESUS said so Himself.
Matthew 4:17
King James Version
17 From that time
Jesus began to preach,
and to say,
Repent:
for the kingdom of heaven
is at hand.
Mark 1:15
King James Version
15 And saying,
The time is fulfilled,
and the kingdom of God is at hand:
repent ye,
and believe the gospel.
John the Baptist gave the same warning.
Matthew 3:1-2
King James Version
3 In those days came John the Baptist,
preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,
2 And saying,
Repent ye:
for the kingdom of heaven
is at hand.
What would it take for us, to listen?
Shall we wait for the event?
For there are many skeptics, and scoffers.
Four months after I became born again, and started reading the Bible, JESUS knew I was ready to know about the RAPTURE.
So, He alerted me to two sets of phrases that literally shook me out of my world-induced stupor.
Matthew 24:40
King James Version
40 Then shall two be in the field;
the one shall be taken,
and the other left.
That was all the warning I needed, and set to work right away.
Mercifully, SPIRIT made it easy for me to understand Scripture.
That verse alone said it all.
But how about you?
What if you're not born again?
What if you're not a believer yet?
I was none of those in the beginning.
But I kept praying to God, to please reveal to me His TRUTH.
I can't seem to buy the world's truth.
In the fullness of time, God led me to two prophetic videos.
On the very same day, I wanted to be born again.
I knew, and felt, the URGENCY of the times.
And I'm grateful to GOD for alerting me to it.
Just seek God, with all your heart.
Pray to know His will.
And let Him do the rest.
The WORD of GOD will be made clear to you.
As if God was speaking to you directly.
All your questions will be answered.
SCRIPTURE has ALL the ANSWERS.
Never again will you doubt God.
Never again will you disobey God.
You will fear God's power.
You will marvel at His majesty.
You will delight in obeying His will.
You will love learning about Jesus.
You will love following Jesus.
You will see the world, for what it is.
Asleep.
And you will want to wake it up.
For now, you've come to know the GOSPEL of CHRIST.
SPIRIT and SCRIPTURE will alert you to the imminence of the LORD's coming.
Matthew 24:27
King James Version
27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east,
and shineth even unto the west;
so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Matthew 24:44
King James Version
44 Therefore be ye also ready:
for in such an hour as ye think not
the Son of man cometh.
Mark 13:32
King James Version
32 But of that day and that hour
knoweth no man, no,
not the angels which are in heaven,
neither the Son,
but the Father.
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
King James Version
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.
And you will know what to do.
When the SEAL of GOD is upon you.
You will only care to be READY for the LORD.
Consider these verses, PREPARATION and SANCTIFICATION:
John 3:3
King James Version
3 Jesus answered and said unto him,
Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born again,
he cannot see the kingdom of God.
John 3:5-7
King James Version
5 Jesus answered,
Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit,
he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh;
and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee,
Ye must be born again.
Matthew 22:37-40
King James Version
37 Jesus said unto him,
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God
with all thy heart,
and with all thy soul,
and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it,
Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 On these two commandments
hang all the law and the prophets.
Zechariah 7:9-10
King James Version
9 Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, saying,
Execute true judgment,
and shew mercy and compassions
every man to his brother:
10 And oppress not the widow,
nor the fatherless,
the stranger,
nor the poor;
and let none of you imagine evil
against his brother in your heart.
Galatians 5:16
King James Version
16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit,
and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
1 Thessalonians 4:1
King James Version
4 Furthermore then
we beseech you, brethren,
and exhort you by the Lord Jesus,
that as ye have received of us
how ye ought to walk
and to please God,
so ye would abound
more and more.
1 Thessalonians 4:3
King James Version
3 For this is the will of God,
even your sanctification,
that ye should abstain from fornication:
1 Thessalonians 4:4
King James Version
4 That every one of you
should know how to possess his vessel
in sanctification and honour;
1 Thessalonians 4:6
King James Version
6 That no man go beyond
and defraud his brother in any matter:
because that the Lord is the avenger of all such,
as we also have forewarned you and testified.
1 Thessalonians 4:7
King James Version
7 For God hath not called us
unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.
1 Thessalonians 4:11

11 And that ye study to be quiet,
and to do your own business,
and to work with your own hands,
as we commanded you;
1 Thessalonians 4:12
King James Version
12 That ye may walk honestly
toward them that are without,
and that ye may have lack of nothing.
