Are you ready for the Rapture?

I want to die before the rapture. I want to have the fullness of this life experience, from growing old and dying. If the rapture comes before then, two things happen: I won't have a full life to do God's work here and I won't ever be able to experience the event of dying.

If this sounds weird to many of you, it's simply because that to a Christian, dying is something to look forward to... it's when we get to go see our God. When my father died, I rejoiced because I knew where He was going. Of course I miss him, but for his own sake, he's in a much better place! :-)

The pre-Tribulation rapture idea is an completely brand new invention (nineteenth century). It has no aid within the Scriptures themselves, however many Christians simply blindly be given it as "Gospel", despite the fact that they have not searched the Scriptures to validate their perception. The early Church not ever taught it, nor does the New Testament instruct it. What the Bible does instruct is that believers are resurrected and "stuck up" to satisfy the Lord on the Second Coming to earth of Jesus (one million Thessalonians four:thirteen-18).

yeah I've got my Rapture earmuffs and my Rapture lunchbox and my Rapture demon repellant. Bring it on. Just who are these many scholars who think the Rapture is near? And if it really is can I have your savings account? Come on help a brother out

The rapture is a vague prophesy from a book of questionable human origin. I don't believe in any of that, so why should I be ready for something that means nothing to me?

My Rapture survival kits came by UPS earlier this week. They include Jesus Loves Me band-aids, a vial of holy water, demon flash cards (so you can recognize the evil ones before they get you), a crucifix, three nails (in case someone gets tagged by one of the aforementioned demons), two cloves of garlic, a 9mm handgun with silver-plated bullets, a copy of the Bible, and a flashlight so we can continue to read it's glory even after the sun's light is blotted from the sky.

You better believe it it cant come soon enough for me i know that these are bad times and people say what can we do to end famine what about Israel everybody picking on poor little Israel smaller than a county that i lived in California and all the earthquakes and hurricanes

all of the wars and rumors of wars these all seem to be bad things but the are signs and good signs to see letting me know that i will be leaving this world of hell real soon.

yes i am ready i wish it were now.

To bad the Rapture is not Biblical.

And to bad your alleged scholars haven't acknowledged that no one will know when Jesus returns.

Read all the signs you want.

People have been predicting the Rapture for 2000 years. *yawn*

Don't be influenced by the fear-mongers known as the media.

"Then Jesus told them another story: "The kingdom of heaven is like a man who planted good seed in his field. That night, when everyone was asleep, his enemy came and planted weeds among the wheat and then left. Later, the wheat sprouted and the heads of grain grew, but the weeds also grew. Then the man's servants came to him and said, 'You planted good seed in your field. Where did the weeds come from?' The man answered, 'An enemy planted weeds.' The servants asked, 'Do you want us to pull up the weeds?' The man answered, 'No, because when you pull up the weeds, you might also pull up the wheat. Let the weeds and the wheat grow together until the harvest time. At harvest time I will tell the workers, "First gather the weeds and tie them together to be burned. Then gather the wheat and bring it to my barn." Then Jesus told another story: "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a man planted in his field. That seed is the smallest of all seeds, but when it grows, it is one of the largest garden plants. It becomes big enough for the wild birds to come and build nests in its branches." Then Jesus told another story: "The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and hid in a large tub of flour until it made all the dough rise." Jesus used stories to tell all these things to the people; he always used stories to teach them. This is as the prophet said: "I will speak using stories; I will tell things that have been secret since the world was made." Then Jesus left the crowd and went into the house. His followers came to him and said, "Explain to us the meaning of the story about the weeds in the field." Jesus answered, "The man who planted the good seed in the field is the Son of Man. The field is the world, and the good seed are all of God's children who belong to the kingdom. The weeds are those people who belong to the Evil One. And the enemy who planted the bad seed is the devil. The harvest time is the end of the world, and the workers who gather are God's angels. "Just as the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the world. The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all who cause sin and all who do evil. The angels will throw them into the blazing furnace, where the people will cry and grind their teeth with pain. Then the good people will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. You people who can hear me, listen." (Matthew 13:24 - 43 NCV)

According to Jesus, the people of God and the people of the devil will not be seperated untill the end of the world!

I pray in the Spirit & love God. I have oil in my lamp. Jesus already gave me assurance that I'm in the 1st resurrection.

With the currect events, I believe it is extremely close also.

Being ready, is starting the day in the Spirit with God. Follow God's direction throughout the day. Then when we see him as He is, we will be changed in the twinkle of an eye.
