My Church is not ready for
My Return. I desire to return for My Bride, but she does not ready herself for
her Groom.
I will have a holy and
spotless bride, shining with great radiance, excited for the Marriage Supper of
the Lamb, but My Church is sick with sin, dead in its zeal for Me, and uncaring
about the dying world around it.
Those who desire Me, who
desire with great zeal to join Me, to submit and do all I require will soon be
here at Home. Those who neglect the great salvation offered and those who sleep
– who work not while it is day, will not.
Many of you are in church,
but many churches are not in Me. Discern, My Children! Do not remain where I have
not placed you. Do not neglect your calling, do not neglect the pursuit of Me
in your lives. Your leaders lead you to err because you discern not.
You must be without spot or
blemish and this you can only do when you abide in Me daily. Make ready for the
Groom!
Matthew 25:1-10
1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened
unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the
bridegroom.
2 And five of them were wise, and five were
foolish.
3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and
took no oil with them:
4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with
their lamps.
5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all
slumbered and slept.
6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold,
the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their
lamps.
8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of
your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest
there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy
for yourselves.
10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom
came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door
was shut.
I have noted to folks that I see that the bible speaks of three types of believers or three levels of faithfulness. In the message, Jesus alludes to all three. I have see clues of this in scripture. Jesus says this in Matt 13:19 "And others fell on the good soil and yielded a crop, some a hundredfold, some sixty, and some thirty.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like the good soil produces three levels of return. With that, the Lord's message refers to three people groups:
The Church - the Body of Christ - this group seems to be the 30 times
The Bride - The Bride of Christ - this group seems to be the 60 times
There there is this mysterious third group (100 times) who are told by the Lord:
"Those who desire Me, who desire with great zeal to join Me, to submit and do all I require will soon be here at Home."
This group will soon be removed VERY SOON and be in Heaven, just as the Lord says...Does anyone know what group in Scripture. I know of only a few references to a group referred to as the "Watchmen of Ephraim". Here is the scripture,
Hosea 9:8 - The watchman of Ephraim was with my God: but the prophet is a snare of a fowler in all his ways, and hatred in the house of his God.
Jeremiah 31:6 - For there shall be a day when watchmen [of Ephraim] will call in the hill country of Ephraim: ‘Arise, and let us go up to Zion, to the Lord our God.’”
Here in these two verses, it seems this third group is with God on heavenly Mt. Zion during the days of punishment and trials...(see Hosea 9:7)
Come Lord Jesus..
It appears, according to the Laodicean Church of Revelation, that the Holy Spirit will depart where sin has invaded and coldness has set in. So many in the church are in this condition and don't know it. The Baptist Church has many, in this condition, because they teach eternal security with zeal!! I know as I was raised strict Southern Baptist but, praise God, He opened my eyes. All my family are Baptists and cannot fathom the concept of the Holy Spirit departing - but scripture is clear. Please pray for them.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know that our Lord and Savior was CAUGHT UP to God, even before his death and ascension, which he showed in the mount of transfiguration (metamorphose)? Did Jesus disappear? Did he leave the earth? Did he escape death? No he did not, he faced it and defeated death; and a servant is not greater than his master. If we are his friends we will do as he did. We will not be CAUGHT UP in a different manner than our example JESUS CHRIST.
ReplyDeleteJoh_17:15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
.....The rapture doctrine is a lie.......
Jesus showed the way, and there is not another, the apostles showed also that they at times were CAUGHT UP to God, but did they leave the earth to do it. No they didn't have to.
......The rapture doctrine is a lie......
By the way the Bride, the Body, and the Church are all the same thing, the bible tells you they are in this one verse.
Eph_5:23 For the husband is the head of the (WIFE), even as Christ is the head of the (CHURCH): and he is the saviour of the (BODY).
Col_1:18 And he is the HEAD(Husband) of the BODY, the CHURCH: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
ReplyDeleteCol_1:24 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for HIS BODY'S(WIFE) sake, which is the CHURCH:
Yosef BenDavid said - .....The rapture doctrine is a lie.......
ReplyDeleteGod's Word has many references to the "Rapture" which you appear to not recognize, that other event is God referring to in these words below? Sure sounds like the rapture to me.
The apostle Paul wrote in 1st Thes:
17 Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up [raptured] together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words.
David in Psalm 18:16 refers to the same event:
6 He sent from on high, he took [caught up/raptured] me; he drew me out of many waters.
Isaiah wrote about this event in chapter 57, verse 1-2
7 The righteous man perishes,
and no one lays it to heart;
devout men are taken [raptured] away,
while no one understands.
For the righteous man is taken [raptured] away from calamity;
Micah wrote about this event in chapter 7, verse 2:
The godly has perished [gone missing] from the earth, and there is no one upright among mankind;
Psalm 12:1 - Save, O Lord, for the godly one is gone [missing], for the faithful have vanished [raptured] from among the children of man.
Isaiah 26: 19-21
Your dead shall live; their bodies shall rise.
You who dwell in the dust, awake and sing for joy!
For your dew is a dew of light,
and the earth will give birth to the dead.
20 Come [be taken, raptured], my people, enter your chambers,
and shut your doors behind you;
hide yourselves for a little while
until the fury has passed by.
21 For behold, the Lord is coming out from his place
to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity,
I've also been led to read the parable of the ten virgins lately. The Lord is reminding us to be watchful at all times, because we do not know when He is going to return for His bride. When I read your message the words "Do not neglect your calling" really jumped out at me. Thank you for posting this word from the Lord.
ReplyDeleteI personally believe that we are in the midnight hour. The trumpets are beginning to sound, events in bible prophecy seem to be unfolding quickly, and the enemy seems to be working overtime with his attacks against the people of God. He will not succeed though, because Jesus has already defeated him at the cross. The Lord always protects his true servants, and delivers them from the snare of the fowler. I look forward to the day when we will all be seated together at the marriage supper of the Lamb.
Sammy T ...... though the word "rapture" is supposed to be the latin equivalent of the words (caught up) the way the word rapture is defined today has nothing to do with the true meaning of the words "caught up".
ReplyDeleteRapture is defined today, and interpreted as everyone disappearing before the tribulation, or in the middle.
Being caught up to God has to deal with dying to self, and awaking to the God. Paul talked about being caught up, and he didn't disappear.
Jesus was caught up to God before his death, and after and didn't escape death or the earth. He went through it.
You sir have believed a lie, and need to repent.
Sammy T ....There is nothing in any of your verses you provided that tell you anything about diappearing before the tribulation....(RAPTURE DEFINTION_ is to disappear before any or half of the tribulation) THIS IS NOT IN THE BIBLE ANYWHERE.
ReplyDeleteSome use the verse in the book of LUKE.. Luk_21:36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to (escape) all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
THE WORD ESCAPE IN THIS VERSE IN THE GREEK MEANS TO >>>>(FLEE)>>>>IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH DISAPPEARING OUT OF THE EARTH; IT MEANS TO REPENT; AND IS USED IN OTHER VERSES IN THE BIBLE AND THEY ARE THE EXACT SAME GREEK WORD.....Mat_10:23 But when they persecute you in this city, (FLEE) ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.
Here are some more verse with the word escape, and have to deal with escaping sin, not the earth.1Th_5:3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
Heb_2:3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;
Heb_12:25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:
It rained all around Noah's boat and he was sealed inside the arc. Noah didn't leave the earth. Also as it rained fire and brimstone all around lots area of land and didn't touch him, Just as when the plagues hit all around the children of Israel and did not touch them, just as when death killed the firstborn of Egypt but the sealed of God were not touched, just as when they passed through the red sea and were not drowned, just as when Elijah passed through the tribulation of his time and was sustained, just as when all the prophets went through famine, sword, pestilence, war, death, floods, fire and were not touched. So will God lead his people through the tribulation and seal them in their foreheads.
ReplyDeleteThe "RAPTURE DOCTRINE IS A LIE"......
Mat_24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
Mar_13:20 And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.
The Word of God tells us who will suffer his wrath during the tribulation, its in the book of Revelation.
ReplyDeleteRev 14:9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
Rev 14:10 THE SAME shall drink of the wine of the WRATH OF GOD, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
It also tells us that the saints go through the time of the beast and Antichrist.
Rev 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped THE BEAST, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
2Th 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that MAN OF SIN BE REVEALED, the son of perdition;
2Th 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.2Th 2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
2Th 2:9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
2Th 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
2Th 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
2Th 2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
