Jesus Is Coming Soon

Jesus is coming back, not to a peaceful beautiful earth, but to a chaotic, ungodly, disorderly and sin-ridden world.

If you look around you today what do you see?

  • Evil is multiplying everywhere.
  • Truth is being turned into a lie.
  • Justice has been turned upside down.
  • Good men are ridiculed; wicked rulers are applauded.
  • Murder of the innocent and defenceless is celebrated;
  • Life is denigrated.
  • The Ten Commandments have been turned upside down.
  • Men want to be women; women want to be men;
  • Nature is mocked.
  • Marriage has become a mockery; you can marry anything – same-sex, animals or even inanimate objects.
  • Every day the world is saying at every given opportunity that ‘there is no God.’

But at the fullness of time Jesus will return as He promised. Very soon it will happen. At that very moment, just as in the days of Noah, the door to the ark of salvation shall be locked.

For the faithful, Jesus is saying: ‘Do not be discouraged; hold fast what you have till I come.”

Are you ready for the second coming of Jesus Christ?

Things to Know about Rapture: #2 Domain of Mankind

In the original plan of God mankind was not created to live in heaven.

Angelic rebellion depleted the host of heaven by one-third.

Rom 5:19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous.

Sin came into the world because of the transgression of Adam & Eve, our first parents.

Since then the world has been under darkness.

“We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one.” (1 Jn 5:19)

Howbeit, God so loved the world and mankind He created that He sent His Son to redeem those who are willing to be redeemed.

Lk 19:10 “For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.”

The assignment God gave to His Son Jesus Christ for planet earth was made up of three distinct jobs, two times of coming to earth with three finishing points, spanning three epochs – Law, Grace and Kingdom.

The first finishing point was on the Cross of Calvary about two thousand years ago.

On the conclusion of His first coming assignment and before He was raptured into heaven, Jesus told His disciples that He was returning to heaven where He came from and would come back to the earth at the appointed time.

Meanwhile, His followers were to occupy and carry out an assignment commonly referred to as the Great Commission.

The following is my paraphrase of the Lord’s Great Commission to those who desire to follow His footsteps.

“As My Father sent Me, so I send you to go into the world and preach the gospel of grace of God to every creature baptizing those who believe in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, making them disciples by teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you to do.”

Prior to His first coming, Gentiles disobeyed God by building a Tower of Babel rather than scatter to the uttermost parts of the earth as commanded.

When Jesus came into the world the Jews rejected Him as their Messiah.

What God is doing now is to take out a people for His name from Jews and Gentiles. They are known as the Ekklesia, the called-out ones.

In the plan of redemption, the Ekklesia was designed as a present to Jesus for His sacrificial work and as a replacement for fallen angels.

When the Ekklesia is fully formed, both sleeping and living saints will be raptured into heaven.

Rapture is the only method of entering heaven in a perfect and glorified state in this dispensation of grace.

Baptism into Christ

To be baptized ‘into Jesus’ is the same as being baptized into one Body of Christ.  This is a spiritual operation that enables believers to become identifiable parts of the mystical Body of Christ and of each other as His blood-bought Church.

“For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.” (Gal 3:27)

“Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?” (Rom 6:3)

“For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ. For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body – whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free – and have all been made to drink into one Spirit.” (1 Cor 12:12-13)

The gospel of grace of God, which is different from the gospel of the kingdom, releases the water of salvation. Those who accept the gospel message actually agree to drink the water of Life a spiritual operation that can only be actualized by faith towards God. Those who come to Jesus must do so in faith, by believing in the finished work of Christ on the Cross.

The evidence of faith in the heart of the seeker is the stamp of ownership that is sealed by the Holy Spirit.

In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise.” (Eph 1:13)

A seal signifies a proprietary right on a finished transaction, a form of legal ownership.  It also signifies security, as in commercial transactions where a Deed under Seal does not require proof of payment of consideration to enforce performance.

You are not a follower of Jesus Christ unless you have the Seal of the Holy Spirit in your spiritman.

Important Facts about Rapture

The only means of entering heaven in a glorified unchangeable state is rapture. Translation is not rapture.

Rapture is the supernatural airlift of transformed dead and living persons from the earth to the heavens. In translation a living person with flesh and blood is taken to a prepared place in heaven for a season. In rapture, dead and living saints with flesh and bones are airlifted to heaven in a perfect unchangeable state like it happened to Jesus.

“Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight.” (Acts 1:9)

Of the five raptures mentioned in the Bible one involving the Lord Jesus Christ took place about two thousand years ago, 53 days to the Day of Pentecost when the church was inaugurated by God the Holy Spirit.

Of the four remaining raptures two are pinned to specific people of Jewish origin. The remaining two are for those who are dead or alive in Christ as well as martyrs of the great tribulation period. All the raptures will take place within the last seven years of the dispensation of grace, which corresponds with the heptad of the Jewish Calendar.

Everyone who comes into this world, regardless of the circumstance of birth has the opportunity of participating in the rapture of dead and living saints. So the, the only reason for non-Christians of New Covenant era to miss the rapture is failure to be born again, caused principally by unbelief, which is neglect or refusal to accept the substitutionary work of Christ who shed His blood on the Cross for human redemption.

For those who are born again, the main reason for non-inclusion in the rapture of dead and living Christians is filthiness of the spirit, soul and body. Filthiness has expression in two main areas: sinning against the body and divine curse.

Sexual immorality appertains not only to overt sins of fornication and adultery, but to the covert sin of marriage not joined by God. Divine curses arise from known and hidden covenants of death such as the weird practice of giving things to God otherwise known as Levitical tithing.

Those who miss the rapture of the Ekklesia can still make it to heaven in a glorified unchangeable state through great tribulation martyrdom.

Once the church is lifted up to heaven during the rapture of dead and living saints, it ceases to be known as the church on earth. In heaven, it will metamorphose into a hierarchy of raptured saints in different categories.

There will be no Christians on earth after the rapture of dead and living saints. The idea of some Christians being left behind after the rapture is a wrong doctrine, it has no basis whatever in the Scriptures. The church age will come to an end leaving seven years of great tribulation judgment to the end of the dispensation of grace.

To participate in the rapture of the Ekklesia and attain expected end in heaven a born again Christian:

  • Must qualify to achieve a union between the implanted image of God otherwise known as Hypostatic Chip and his or her inward personality.
  • Must be fully convinced that Jesus is coming back to the earth as the judge of the world, that the rapture of the Ekklesia is imminent and be in daily expectation of the airlift of qualified Ekklesia to heaven
  • A living born again Christian must be watchful, ready, faithful, and fruitful in order to abide in Christ Jesus to the end and fulfil his or her destiny as embedded in the implanted Hypostatic Chip.

Cities Shall Fall

“And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.” (Rev 16:19)
