We are going to discuss the Rapture and uncover some questions you may have.
 

What is the Rapture?
When will the Rapture be?
Are we Rapture ready?

 

 

 
What is the Rapture?
 

 

 
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 (NKJV) 13 But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope.
 
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.
 
15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive [and] remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep.

16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.
 
17 Then we who are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.
 
18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.
 
V13  those outside of Christ have no hope. 
 

 
We’ve taught them they come from nothing at the hand of nothing and they return to the ground to be nothing.
 

 
No wonder you can’t get anyone to work anymore.
 

 
V14 God will bring WITH HIM.
 
So where are they now. 
 
(Our loved ones . Where are they now?)
 

 
V15 We Who are alive 
 
Paul was looking for Jesus at any time.
 

 

 
V16 The Lord himself .
 

 
It is God himself who died for you and God will come back for you.
 
If he had sent an angel to die for you you would have always wondered if there was another way .
 

 
Muhammad, all the gods of the Hindu religion, Buddha,
 

 
All these cults 
 

 
(Cults distort who Jesus is and what he’s done .)
 

 
They distort the person and work of Christ.
 
Just ask 
 

 
What is Jesus to you? Who is Jesus to you.
 

 
The Shout is a battle cry .
 

 
Times up no mistake about it.
 

 

 
The 🎺 trumpet of God.
( the last Trump) 
 

 
1 Corinthians 15:52 (NKJV) in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 
 
 
I taught last year on the Feast of trumpets.
 
All the feasts point to Jesus 
 
Some are yet to be fulfilled.
 

Passover
Unleavened bread
First fruits 
Pentecost 

All have been fulfilled and they were fulfilled on the very day. And they must be in order
 

Trumpets. 
Day of Atonement 

 

Tabernacles 

 
No man knows the hour or the day of Jesus return.
But we can know the season.
It’s my belief that I learned from greats like Perry Stone and Jimmy Evans that Jesus will come back on trumpets.
 
On trumpets the trumpet would sound a total of 99 times this is what I believe the Bible means when it says the last Trump,
 
We know he’s going to go on to say that the Lord will come as a thief in the night.
 
The dead in Christ will rise first. 
Read the end of the chapter
 
When will the Rapture be?
 
Luke 17 :26-37
 
Luke 17 Jesus is coming back to a business as usual world.
Another day of
. gay marriage
.Transgender surgery
.Murdering our children 
.Our president turning a blind eye to the fentenyl poisoning our children.

we’ve normalized these atrocities. We’ve shook our fist in God’s face . But it’s business as usual in our conscious seared , wicked world.

 
But in other places he’s coming back to a world that is totally in a cataclysmic chaos.
 
So which is it? Is he coming back for a business as usual world or in a cataclysmic chaotic world? Is he coming back post trib or pre-trib?
 
Yes he is.
 
V26 v27( until the day) when did Noah enter the Ark ? Was it before the flood?
Was it during the flood?
Was it after the flood?
Obviously before the flood not one drop of water hit Noah.

V28-29 on the day Lot went out.
Did Lot go out before the destruction?
During or after.
Obviously before. 
Not one hailstone hit him or his daughters.
 
Genesis 19:22 (NKJV) “Hurry, escape there. For I cannot do anything until you arrive there.” Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.

A lot of the rest goes on to tell us one will be taken and the other left.

On to our last setting of scriptures in Matthew 24
Now remember it’s our goal to answer the question. When will the rapture be because Matthew 24 is obviously post-tribulation Jesus is coming back after a cataclysmic, chaotic world, but it’s not in chronological order. It is until verse 32.
 
There will be many many saved during the tribulation. That’s what Jesus is talking about coming back to get  and (I don’t just make this stuff up. This is what the experts say)there are two raptures.
 
He comes back to get the church before the tribulation.
We are 7 years in heaven at the marriage, supper of the Lamb . Remember a Jewish wedding was seven days. We will be there seven years. 
Remember in John 14 he said he was going to prepare a place for us, in his father’s house are many mansions that is a reference to a Jewish wedding. Remember, the man would go and build onto his family dwelling place getting ready for his bride.
 
The Rapture of the church is pre tribulation .
 
The 2nd one in Matthew 24 up until v31 is the post tribulation gathering of the tribulation saints.
 
:
verse 32. He jumps back to where we were at in Luke.
 
To a business as usual Godhating but everyday world .
He has jumped back to show you a  “private “ coming. The pre trib rapture . 
You don’t have to choose there will be both and you can rightly divide the Word of God .
Study this yourself and see do not just pick a position.
We Love you.
