THE RAPTURE IS NEAR...ARE YOU READY

By: Linda Kirby/WGON

When we read the news, we can see everything the Lord himself, told us to look for in the end days. He said in Luke 21:28a: “...Now when these things begin to happen...” BEGIN is the main word there. Yes, a lot of what he has warned of has been going on for many decades, however, not to the extent it has now. It is moving faster, and more has been added. It has begun, and no one can deny it. Even the world knows something is about to happen, something very big but they don’t know what it is. So, what was the reason for Jesus’ statement? The rest of the verse goes: “...look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.” Jesus is telling us we will be with Him very soon. Based on everything Jesus told us about the fig tree, the signs, the last generation, we can only surmise the church era is nearly over. So, what does this mean for us now? It means we must work harder than ever before to draw those last souls to Jesus. We must make sure are garments are white. “The “white garments” (Rev. 4:4) must refer to the dress of believers. John MacArthur in his commentary on Revelation 1-11 says, “Christ promised the believers at Sardis that they would ‘be clothed in white garments’ (Rev. 3:5)…White garments symbolize Christ’s righteousness imputed to believers at salvation.” The elders represent the church after the rapture!” So, our time is short. We might see the rapture before the year is out. If not, then we have more time to get the last souls to Christ. If the year ends with the Church in heaven at the bema seat, then we endured to the end. Any way you look at it, our time here is nearing an end and the rapture is extremely close. Are you ready?
