RAPTURE - THE BLESSED HOPE. Is There Any Hope For People Left Behind On Glorious Rapture Day? In Matthew 25:6-7, the ten virgins heard a cry announcing the arrival of their long-awaited bridegroom and they woke up. The virgins were probably afraid and jittery because they were caught napping. When the virgins heard the cry, they knew that the moment of truth had come at last. The day of reckoning had come! Indeed, it is on rapture day that the world will know those who are truly serving Jesus Christ and those who are not. A particular pastor or born-again Christian can pretend to serve Jesus Christ until rapture day, but not beyond it. Are you pretending to serve Jesus Christ while in secret you serve Satan? Are you publicly preaching the undiluted Word of God but secretly living in sin? On rapture day, your secret will be exposed to the whole world. After the true saints have been raptured, the hypocrites that are left behind will suffer greatly. Also, before the suffering of the Great Tribulation period which will be general, believers who are left behind will suffer shame and disgrace. What vices capable of hindering you from making the rapture persist in your life? Repent and deal with them before it is too late. Be Rapture Ready Always On rapture day, hardened unbelievers and sinners who knows you as a born-again Christian, pastor, arch-bishop, bishop, deacon, deaconess, prophet or evangelist will come looking for you. If they see you, assuming you are left behind, they will say, “So you were faking your faith in Jesus Christ all along? You must be a big fool! How could you refuse joining us to take bribes, womanize, booze, smoke, gamble, embezzle government funds,etc, only to end up being left behind with chronic sinners like us? By the way, what did you do to your Jesus that made Him leave you behind?” As a minister or pastor, how can you stand to talk to members of your congregation who were also left behind on rapture day? Definitely, they will blame you for their inability to make the rapture. They will probably say it was because you were living in secret sin that they, too, fell into sin. It is very easy for people to justify their sins or blame others for their shortcoming. During the great tribulation period, the Antichrist will stir up unrepentant unbelievers to look for those who call themselves Christians and ask them to be killed because their Jesus is raining judgement from heaven. Consequently, left behind Christians will then be used to settle scores! You can prevent this calamity by ensuring that you make the rapture. Is there any hope for left behind believers to make heaven after glorious rapture day? Yes! However, they can only make heaven as martyred saints. They must be ready to die for their faith in Jesus Christ. They must not worship the Antichrist or accept the mark of the Beast (RFID chip:666). As martyred saints, they will join the raptured saints in heaven after rapture. “Then the Lamb (Jesus Christ) broke open the fifth seal. I saw undeneath the altar (heavenly) the souls (martyred saints) of those who had been killed because they had proclaimed God’s word and had been faithful in their witnessing. They shouted in a loud voice,”Almighty Lord, holy and true! How long will it be until you judge the people on earth and punish them for killing us? Each of them was given a white robe and they were told to rest a little while longer, until the complete number of their fellow servants and fellow Christians had been killed, as they had been.” (Revelation 6:9-1 If you are left behind on rapture day and due to fear of torture and death, you decide to worship the Antichrist and accept the mark of the Beast (RFID chip:666), you are doomed! You will spend your eternity in the lake of fire and sulphur. Decide wisely! You have been warned! No excuse for you! Remember this warning always. Your eternity is dependent on your wise decision at this crucial time during the great tribulation period. “A third angel followed the first two, saying in a loud voice, ”Whoever worships the beast (Antichrist) and its image and receives the mark (RFID chip:666) on their forehead or on their hand will themselves drink God’s wine, the wine of his fury, which he has poured at full strength into the cup of his anger. All who do this will be tormented in fire and sulphur before the holy angels and the Lamb (Jesus Christ). The smoke of the fire that torments them goes up for ever and ever. There is no relief (rest) day or night for those who worship the beast and its image, for anyone who has the mark of its name. This calls for endurance on the part of God’s people, those who obey God’s commandments and are faithful to Jesus.” (Revelation 14:9-12). source - MARANATHA TRUMPETER
