Are you rapture ready? I mean in my understanding we are definitely closing in upon the End Times. Ok! I know... not a favorite topic, but better to be informed than to not to be. So I ran across this site which offers some really good insight into what rapture means.. Rapture Ready. They provide a whole slough of sites that have very good info regarding this very timely topic!!! Once I got on the site I found Signs of the Times and How close are we? to be very helpful!
But, of course, only true Christians are really interested in the rapture, for they are the only ones who will be called to "Come up here!?
Revelation 4: After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.”
After the Rapture: For those who haven't made that decision to follow the Christ, who came down from heaven, suffered and died on a horrible cross, so that those who claimed Him would have everlasting life in heaven, those who rejected him all of their life until now... will be left behind to endure the horrible tribulation which will last 7 years. It will be hell on earth as Satan, the Antichrist, will rule on his earthly throne... it will be a time of great sorrow as God's wrath is poured out because of unrepentant sin. The book of The Revelation (the last book of the Bible) is the best source to read for understanding. Or it is probably a good idea to start with this, found on this site.. After the Rapture!
I am dedicating my blog to these topics now because I feel that the rapture could be very soon. I have been attending a prophecy class where our dear teacher studies the scriptures and applies it to the times in which we are living . Several well known theologians including David Jeremiah, Jack Hibbs , even Jonathan Cahn, claim that it very could very well come during the Jewish feast, the Feast of Trumpets during the time of Rosh Hashanah which starts next week October 2-4, 2o24. Yes, the Bible is clear no man knows the day or hour when rapture occur, but just as Cahn has said " it could be the 2nd, 3rd,. of fourth of the month !"But these leaders do say if not this year then Feast of Trumpets next year!
But I did watch a YouTube video that was very compelling about the signs in the heavens.. The arrangement of constellations, along with the planets.. (every planet that is seen all together in the fall of 2024) And will not be seen in many cases many years from now.. Remember Genesis 1 says that the stars and the heavenlies are useful as signs from God to prepare His people!!
This surely is the most exciting time to be alive! And I do pray that if you have not made a confession of faith that you will make that change in your life soon, and that you will truly believe that Jesus died for your sins, and that you are sorry for your sins.. that you will repent, turn to God and ask for his forgiveness. And He will forgive you of your sins and you will become a member of His heavenly family!Please do not let your pride stand in the way of making this life changing commitment! There are other posts listed on the side panel of my blog under the title of Road to Salvation and Road to Redemption (Rod) sorry for misspell! all about making this commitment to the Lord!!! If you need more information you will find it there!! God bless you!!!!
Love, Carolyn
