Did you know that the Gospel of the Kingdom of God will continue to be preached to all nation in all the world even after the Church (faithful believers) has been raptured to heaven? First, you have the 144 000 Jewish evangelists appointed as servants of God for that very task (Revelation 7:1-8; 14:1-5). Next you have Gods angels flying around the world with the everlasting Gospel (Revelation 14:6-11) and finally, you have the 2 witnesses (Revelation 11:3-13) doing the job with extraordinary supernatural abilities including the power to shut heaven so that rain doesnt fall on earth. All of these are happening during the 7-year Tribulation and the Church is not part of the group. So, dont let anyone fool you into thinking that you will be hanging around doing what youve always done. The Lord Jesus is coming very soon. And He warned us not to allow the affairs of this life to distract us from focusing on what is most important - our going with Him when He comes. But take heed to yourselves and be on your guard, lest your hearts be overburdened and depressed (weighed down) with the giddiness and headache and nausea of self-indulgence , drunkenness, and worldly worries and cares pertaining to [the business of] this life, and [lest] that day come upon you suddenly like a trap or a noose; For it will come upon all who live upon the face of the entire earth. Keep awake then and watch at all times [be discreet, attentive, and ready], praying that you may have the full strength and ability and be accounted worthy to escape all these things [taken together] that will take place, and to stand in the presence of the Son of Man (Luke 21:34-36). It is very instructive to read from the books of 2 Timothy 4:8 and Hebrews 9:27-28 that He is coming for those who have loved and eagerly waited for His appearing, to present them to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, a Church which is holy and without blemish (Ephesians 5:27). So, be wise and start getting your walk with the Lord in order bearing in mind that there were 10 virgins but only the 5 wise ones entered in with the Bridegroom when He came (Matthew 25:1-13
