The Rapture
OK, let's talk about the Rapture. Of course, you can always Google it or ask AI. There are many books about it. Also, many pastors and ministers talk about it. I'll be using all those things as reference and some from our own reading of the bible. Most believers say the Rapture can happen at any time and you know what Beloved Mary has told us on the News Board. In general, there are 3 theories: pre-tribulation, mid-tribulation or not at all until the very end with the last trumpet. We are strong believers in the pre-tribulation concept. Why even take the chance. Let's get started.
NLT Bible
Acts 1:7
He replied, “The Father alone has the authority to set those dates and times, and they are not for you to know." (I don't think this is the second coming for we know that is at the end of the tribulation.)
Matthew 24:36-37-38
36 “However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself. Only the Father knows." 37 “When the Son of Man returns, it will be like it was in Noah’s day." 38 "In those days before the flood, the people were enjoying banquets and parties and weddings right up to the time Noah entered his boat."
(How could this be at the end? Think about it. It's not going to be normal during the tribulation but akin to hell on earth before the second coming of Jesus. The Rapture is not the second coming but a private event for the church.)
NA, Catholic Bible
Matthew 26:41“Watch and pray that you may not undergo the test.”
Luke 22:40 When he arrived at the place he said to them, "Pray that you may not undergo the test."
Luke 22:46 He said to them, "Why are you sleeping? Get up and pray that you may not undergo the test."
(True, many bibles have this verse as "Pray that you may not enter into temptation". We’re going with test and not temptation. Also, several scriptures are dual in time, that being then and now. We believe this is one of those. So, brothers and sisters please pray that you don’t have to undergo the test and are taken up to Jesus with the Rapture.)
Don’t wait until it’s too late!
Pray the Prayer of Salvation and start living by God’s commandments and doing what is right.
Also, start reading the bible if you're not already.
Don’t be one of those who after millions disappear that drop to their knees and scream “I thought I had more time!” Sorry, it’s too late.
May God bless you all!
