RAPTURE
Christ
does not return to Earth, but calls born
again believers up to the
clouds with Him, then takes them to Heaven. John 14:3 And
if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come
again, and receive you unto myself; that where
I am, there ye may be also. [KJV]
1 Thes. 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. (KJV)
SECOND
COMING of CHRIST
Christ
returns to the Earth to rule Israel and the world
from Jerusalem. Zech.
14:4 And his feet shall stand in that day
upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem
on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave
in the midst thereof toward the east and toward
the west, and there shall be a very great valley;
and half of the mountain shall remove toward the
north, and half of it toward the south. [KJV] Luke 1:32-33 He shall be great, and
shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the
Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his
father David: [33] And he shall reign over the
house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there
shall be no end. [KJV] Rev. 19:11-15 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white
horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful
and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and
make war. [12] His eyes were as a flame of fire,
and on his head were many crowns; and he had a
name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
[13] And he was clothed with a vesture dipped
in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
[14] And the armies which were in heaven followed
him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen,
white and clean. [15] And out of his mouth goeth
a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the
nations: and he shall rule them with a rod
of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the
fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. [KJV]
RAPTURE
There
will be a resurrection of ALL New Testament believers
who have died up to that time. 1
Cor. 15:52-53 In
a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last
trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead
shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be
changed. [53] For this corruptible must put on
incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
[KJV]
1 Thes. 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: (KJV)
The
Rapture is not even remotely related to the Second
Coming of Christ. It is an event completely different
than His Second Coming.
SECOND COMING of CHRIST
There
will be no resurrection at this time, not until
the Antichrist is defeated. Rev. 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. (KJV)
Rev. 20:1-5 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. 2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, 3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. 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. 5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. (KJV)
RAPTURE
The
bodies of all living believers (like all the dead
believers who will be resurrected), shall be changed
to new, immortal and incorruptible bodies. We
cannot access Heaven with the corruptible bodies
we have now.
1
Cor. 15:51-53 Behold, I shew you a
mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall
all be changed, [52] In a moment, in the twinkling
of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet
shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible,
and we shall be changed. [53] For this corruptible
must put on incorruption, and this mortal must
put on immortality. [KJV]
1
Thes. 4:17 Then we which are alive
and remain shall be caught up together with them
in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and
so shall we ever be with the Lord. [KJV]
SECOND
COMING of CHRIST
All
the resurrected saints will return with Christ
from Heaven, having already been changed into
immorality.
Zech. 14:5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee. (KJV)
Rev. 19:11-15 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. 12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. 13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. 15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. (KJV)
RAPTURE
The
Rapture will take place during a time of peace
and prosperity. The world will not be looking
for any type of judgment from God.
Luke
17:26-30 And as it was
in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the
days of the Son of man. [27] They did eat, they
drank, they married wives, they were given in
marriage, until the day that Noe entered into
the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them
all. [28] Likewise also as it was in the days
of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought,
they sold, they planted, they builded; [29] But
the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained
fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed
them all. [30] Even thus shall it be in the day
when the Son of man is revealed. [31] In that
day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and
his stuff in the house, let him not come down
to take it away: and he that is in the field,
let him likewise not return back. [32] Remember
Lot's wife. [33] Whosoever shall seek to save
his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose
his life shall preserve it. [34] I tell you, in
that night there shall be two men in one bed;
the one shall be taken, and the other shall be
left. [35] Two women shall be grinding together;
the one shall be taken, and the other left. [36]
Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be
taken, and the other left. (KJV) Jesus' Words.
SECOND COMING of CHRIST
Again,
the Second Coming of Christ will be in total contrast
to the Rapture. When Christ comes the second time,
it will be in the midst of the worst war this
world has ever seen. There will be great devastation
of this planet. Matthew 24:21-22 For
then shall be great tribulation, such as was not
since the beginning of the world to this time,
no, nor ever shall be. [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. [KJV] Jesus' Words.
Also
see: Rev. 6:8-17; Rev. 9:15; Rev. 16:3-21; Rev.19:11-21
(for conditions of this world).
RAPTURE
The
Rapture will take place when conditions of the
world seem to say all is well. It will take place
when very few expect Christ to come (Luke 18:8).
He will catch the church off guard.
Matthew
24:36 But of
that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the
angels of heaven, but my Father only. [KJV] No one knows the day or the hour when this
event will take place. The mighty angels don’t
know, only the Father knows.
Matthew
24:44 Therefore be ye
also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not
the Son of man comethy. [KJV]
You
must be ready at all times, because Jesus will
come when least expected.
SECOND COMING of CHRIST
Again,
there is great contrast in the Rapture and Second
Coming. When Jesus comes at the Second Coming,
not even the Antichrist will be caught off guard,
for there will be many visible signs that will
warn everyone that Christ is very near.
Matthew
24:29-33 Immediately
after the tribulation of those days shall the
sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her
light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and
the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: [30]
And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man
in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the
earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man
coming in the clouds of heaven with power and
great glory. [31] And he shall send his angels
with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall
gather together his elect from the four winds,
from one end of heaven to the other. [32] Now
learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch
is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know
that summer is nigh: [33] So likewise ye, when
ye shall see all these things, know that it is
near, even at the doors. [KJV]
Rev.
19:19 And I saw the beast, and the
kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered
together to make war against him that sat on the
horse, and against his army. [KJV]
RAPTURE
The
Rapture will occur when the church is sleeping.
There will be little expectation of Jesus’ return.
This event will take place BEFORE the Tribulation
period.
Matthew
25:5 While the bridegroom
tarried, they all slumbered and slept. [KJV] Jesus’ delay in coming at the Rapture will
cause many to stop watching for Him. But, God
has a specific day planned for this tremendous
event. We must NOT go to sleep on the job.
Mark
13:35-37 Watch ye therefore:
for ye know not when the master of the house cometh,
at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing,
or in the morning: [36] Lest coming suddenly he
find you sleeping. [37] And what I say unto you
I say unto all, Watch. [KJV]
We
must keep a sharp lookout! We have NO idea when
Jesus will come in the clouds; in the evening,
midnight, early dawn, or late daybreak. We must
not let Him find us sleeping when He arrives without
warning. We must WATCH and be ready for His return!
SECOND COMING of CHRIST
There
is great contrast in these two events. The Second
Coming will take place at the END of the Tribulation
period, in the midst of worldwide devastation,
distress and hopelessness. The Antichrist and
his armies will be attacking Israel. Much of Jerusalem
is captured. Israel is at the point of being exterminated.
Zech.
14:1-2 Behold, the day of the Lord cometh,
and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of
thee. [2] For I will gather all nations against
Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken,
and the houses rifled, and the women ravished;
and half of the city shall go forth into captivity,
and the residue of the people shall not be cut
off from the city. [KJV] The Second Coming
of Christ will come when Israel’s possessions
will be plundered right in front of their eyes.
God will permit ALL the nations to fight against
Jerusalem. The city will be taken, houses plundered,
and the women raped.
Zech.
12:2-3 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup
of trembling unto all the people round about,
when they shall be in the siege both against Judah
and against Jerusalem. [3] And in that day will
I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people:
all that burden themselves with it shall be cut
in pieces, though all the people of the earth
be gathered together against it. [KJV] Zech.
12:9 And it shall come to pass in that day,
that I will seek to destroy all the nations that
come against Jerusalem. [KJV]
RAPTURE
At
the Rapture all TRUE believers (both the dead
ones and those still alive) will be taken out
of this world of sin, pain and sorrow. We will
be forever with our Lord, with new bodies similar
to His (Phil.3:21; 1 John 3:2). We will never
ever sin again, never ever grieve our Lord again!
Titus
2:13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the
glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour
Jesus Christ; [KJV] We look forward to that
wonderful event when the glory of our great God
and Saviour, Jesus Christ, will be revealed.
1
John 3:3 And every man that hath this hope
in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
[KJV] Everyone who believes this will keep themselves
pure, just as Christ is pure.
SECOND COMING of CHRIST
The
Second Coming could hardly be called a "blessed
hope" for there would be very few believers
(if the church were still here) that would survive
the Tribulation period. All who refuse the mark
of the Antichrist (666), and those who refuse
to worship the Antichrist, will be killed.
Rev.
13:15-17 And he had power to give life unto
the image of the beast, that the image of the
beast should both speak, and cause that as many
as would not worship the image of the beast should
be killed. [16] And he causeth all, both small
and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive
a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
[17] And that no man might buy or sell, save he
that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or
the number of his name. [KJV]
Jesus
has promised to keep TRUE believers from the Tribulation.
Rev.
3:10 Because
thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also
will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which
shall come upon all the world, to try them that
dwell upon the earth. [KJV]
1
Thes. 1:10 And to wait for his Son from heaven,
whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which
delivered us from the wrath to come. [KJV] To me, the wrath to come means Hell and
the Tribulation period.
RAPTURE
The
early church was taught to expect Christ to come
in the clouds at any moment. This means
that we should live a life pleasing to Him, so
that when He does appear, we should not be ashamed.
1 John 2:28 And
now, little children, abide in him; that, when
he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not
be ashamed before him at his coming. [KJV]
We are taught to watch and wait and be ready for He could come at any moment!
Luke
12:35-36 Let your loins
be girded about, and your lights burning; [36]
And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for
their lord, when he will return from the wedding;
that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open
unto him immediately. [KJV] We should
be dressed for service and well prepared, for
we are waiting for our master to return.
Philip.
3:20 For our conversation is in heaven; from
whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord
Jesus Christ: [KJV] TRUE believers are citizens
of Heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives.
Let us be eagerly waiting for Him to return to
get us.
How
can we wait and watch for something that won’t
happen until after the Tribulation??? There HAS TO BE a special coming of Christ that
could happen at any time (the Rapture).
SECOND
COMING of CHRIST
The
Second Coming is much different than the Rapture.
It cannot be expected to happen at any time. Because
of this, none of the Scriptures telling us to
watch and wait could possibly refer to the Second
Coming of Christ. Those Scripture Passages could
refer only to the pre-trib Rapture of Christ.
RAPTURE
The
pre-trib Rapture has a very powerful and purifying
importance on all those who have this hope in Him. The fact that it could happen at any moment
means that it must come before the Antichrist
is revealed to the world, and before the Tribulation
period. IF Christ could come at any moment, as
He has promised, we must not waste any time in
our obedience to Him. We must witness for it is
a command (Mat.28:19), we must not indulge in
sin with the idea that we have plenty of time
to repent. We do NOT know how much time we have!
1 John 2:28 And now, little children,
abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may
have confidence, and not be ashamed before him
at his coming. [KJV] We must continue to live
in fellowship with Christ so that when He does
return, we will have courage and not shrink back
from Him in shame.
1
John 3:3 And every man that hath this
hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
[KJV] If we have hope that He will return, we
will keep ourselves pure, just as Christ is pure.
SECOND COMING of CHRIST
To
look forward to the Second Coming or a post-trib
Rapture doesn’t make sense. It sure wouldn’t be
purifying in any respect. It wouldn’t take place
for 7 years; so there would be a lot of time to
delay witnessing, a lot of time to continue in
sin with hopes for repentance later on.
2
Tim. 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation
of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord
knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from
iniquity. [KJV]
Psalm
51:2 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity,
and cleanse me from my sin. [KJV]
RAPTURE
The
Rapture is not only to be expected at any moment,
but to be eagerly looked forward to. We are to
ask our Lord to come quickly. We have a much better
place that we are going to, and will spend eternity
there.
Rev.
22:17 And the Spirit and the bride
say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come.
And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever
will, let him take the water of life freely.
[KJV] This is saying that anyone who wants to
(whosoever) can come and drink the water of life
without charge. In other words, salvation (eternal
life) is FREE, a gift from God (Rom.6:23; Eph.2:8-9).
Rev.
22:20 He which testifieth these things
saith, Surely I come
quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord
Jesus. [KJV] Jesus is the faithful witness.
Here He says, "Yes, I will come quickly."
SECOND COMING of CHRIST
The
Second Coming will not take place until the end
of the Tribulation period. He will come in judgment
to rescue Israel, to put an end to Armageddon,
and to destroy Satan’s Antichrist along with his
kingdom and all his armies which will be many.
Rev. 19:19-21 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. [20] And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. [21] And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh. [KJV]
RAPTURE
There
will be at least two events occurring in Heaven
for which the church (born again believers) must
be present: the Judgment Seat of Christ and the
Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
Romans
14:10 But why dost thou judge thy
brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother?
for we shall all stand before the judgment seat
of Christ. [KJV]
2
Cor. 5:10 For we must all appear before
the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may
receive the things done in his body, according
to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
[KJV]
Rev.
19:7-9 Let us be glad and rejoice,
and give honour to him: for the marriage of the
Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
[8] And to her was granted that she should be
arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the
fine linen is the righteousness of saints. [9]
And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they
which are called unto the marriage supper of the
Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true
sayings of God. [KJV] Blessed are those who
are invited to the wedding feast of the Lamb.
Let
us watch and wait with eager anticipation for
our Lord’s call. It could come at any time! Let
us tell others about Jesus and the salvation only
He can bring to us.
SECOND
COMING of CHRIST
It
is clear that the Second Coming of Christ cannot
happen until these two marvelous events take place.
It is only after the church is married to the
Bridegroom (the Lamb) that she will be able to
join Him in returning back to the Earth to rescue
Israel and destroy Antichrist and his forces.
See: Marriage
Supper of the Lamb
Rev.
19:14 And the armies which were in
heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed
in fine linen, white and clean. [KJV] The
armies of Heaven (true believers, the church,
the bride), dressed in pure white linen, follow
Christ on white horses. What a day this will be!
The
RAPTURE
How
will it happen?
1
Cor. 15:51-53 Behold, I shew you a
mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall
all be changed, [52] In a moment, in the twinkling
of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet
shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible,
and we shall be changed. [53] For this corruptible
must put on incorruption, and this mortal must
put on immortality. [KJV]
1
Thes. 4:13-18 But I would not have
you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them
which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as
others which have no hope. [14] For if we believe
that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also
which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
[15] For this we say unto you by the word of the
Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto
the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them
which are asleep. [16] For the Lord himself shall
descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice
of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and
the dead in Christ shall rise first: [17] Then
we which are alive and remain shall be caught
up together with them in the clouds, to meet the
Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with
the Lord. [18] Wherefore comfort one another with
these words. [KJV]
John
14:1-3 Let not
your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe
also in me. [2] In my Father's house are many
mansions: if it were not so, I would have told
you. I go to prepare a place for you. [3] And
if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come
again, and receive you unto myself; that where
I am, there ye may be also. [KJV]
From
these 3 Passages, we can figure the sequence of
events in the Rapture. The Rapture is NOT the
Coming of Christ to Earth in "power and
great glory." It is where Jesus comes
to take all the faithful ones, God’s children,
to Heaven.
- 1.
Our Lord and Saviour, Jesus, will descend
from His Father’s House, where He is at this
present time (John 14:1-3; 1 Thes. 4:16).
Jesus will NOT come to Earth; He will stay
in the clouds. From the clouds He will summon
us to come to Him.
- 2.
He will "come
again to receive us to Himself"
(John 14:1-3). Jesus CANNOT lie! He plainly
tells us He will come. Believe Him!
- 3.
Jesus will call and resurrect all dead believers first. (1 Thes. 4:14-15)
- 4.
As the Lord descends from Heaven, He will
shout, with a loud command ( 1 Thes. 4:16).
All will take place in the "twinkling
of an eye" (1 Cor.15:52).
- 5.
We will hear the voice of the archangel (1
Thes. 4:16).
- 6.
We will also hear the trumpet sound (1 Thes.
4:16). This is NOT the 7th trumpet in Revelation
11:15.
- 7.
The dead in Christ will rise first. The corruptible
(impure) ashes and molecules of their dead
bodies will be made incorruptible (pure and
immaculate) and will be rejoined with their
spirits, which Jesus will take with Him (1
Thes. 4:16-17).
- 8.
Then we which are alive and remain shall be
changed (made incorruptible by having our
bodies made immortal, like Jesus’ Body (1
Cor.15:51,53).
- 9.
Then we will be raptured (caught up) together
with Him in the clouds (1 Thes. 4:17).
- 10.
All believers (those dead and those who are
alive) will be united in the clouds (1 Thes.
4:17).
- 11.
We will meet our Lord and Saviour, Jesus the
Christ (1 Thes.4:17).
- 12.
He receives us to Himself, and takes us to
the Father’s House (Heaven) that "where
I am, you may be also" (John
14:3).
- 13.
"And thus we shall always be with
the Lord" (1 Thes.4:17).
Christ’s
Coming
The day of Christ’s Coming,
will arrive soon,
Will it be night? or morning? or at noon?
Most folk won’t be ready, for that great
sight,
The Rapture will be, as a thief in the night.
The Rapture will be, for God’s
people alone,
Only for those, His Blood did atone.
Christ Jesus will come, and His Bride He’ll
take,
All others that day, Christ will forsake.
Will you at the Rapture, be left
behind?
Are you watching for Him? or are you blind?
Do you go along with this evil world’s ways?
Or are you prepared, for this special day?
The Rapture will come, as in Noah’s
day,
All will be at ease, going their own way.
We must watch, for we know not when He’ll
come,
If we’re not ready, we’ll miss that
trip Home.
Two people in one bed, one stays,
one will go,
The one left behind, will have much sorrow.
For he the Great Tribulation will enter,
He will have to wait to see Heav’n’s
grandeur.
Two together, working out in a
field,
But only one to Jesus’ call will yield.
And the other one, will be left behind,
And his fellow worker, he’ll not find.
God’s true children, must
do more than believe,
If all God’s blessings, they want to receive.
We must trust, but we also must obey,
If we expect to go, with Christ that day.
At any moment, Christ Jesus could
come,
High in the clouds, to take His Bride home.
This should be considered v’ry carefully,
My friend, it might save you much agony.

CHRIST’S
RETURN
So many try to guess, when Christ
will come,
To take believers, to their new home.
They’ve never been right, they never will
be,
Only God alone knows, when Christ we’ll
see!
Jesus will come only at God’s
command,
To take believers, to Heav’n’s blissful
land!
We must be watching, we must live with care,
We don’t want Christ to catch us, unawares!
We know not when Christ will come;
we cannot say,
We know not what God has in store each day!
We must walk by faith, and not by our sight,
Imitate Jesus, let Him guide day and night!
If Christ were to come in the
clouds this day,
Would you be glad to see that wondrous display?
Or would you cringe in fear when He look’d
at you?
Because you don’t live, as He wants you
to?
Will you be asham’d when
He comes in the clouds?
Or will you praise Him with that grateful crowd?
Your reaction then, will depend on this day,
We must watch for Christ, and the Lord obey!

Cor. 5:10 For we must all appear before
the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may
receive the things done in his body, according
to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
[KJV]
Romans
14:10 But why dost thou judge thy
brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother?
for we shall all stand before the judgment seat
of Christ. [KJV]
1
Cor. 3:11-15 For other foundation
can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus
Christ. [12] Now if any man build upon this foundation
gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
[13] Every man's work shall be made manifest:
for the day shall declare it, because it shall
be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every
man's work of what sort it is. [14] If any man's
work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall
receive a reward. [15] If any man's work shall
be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself
shall be saved; yet so as by fire. [KJV]
- 14. The Judgment Seat of Christ is where Christ will judge ALL believers.
Every single person must stand (alone) before
the Almighty Judge. No one will be exempt!
All secrets will be brought out in the open.
Nothing will be hidden from His all-seeing
eyes. Our destiny has been decided (Heaven),
but we will be judged on how we conducted
ourselves after we turned our lives over to
Jesus. We will either receive rewards or we
will suffer loss of the rewards we could have
had. I believe this time of judgment will
take place (probably in Heaven) while the
Great Tribulation is taking place, although
I don’t think there is any Scripture that
states this. This Judgment will prepare believers
for the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
- Rev.
19:9 And he saith unto me, Write,
Blessed are they which are called unto the
marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith
unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
[KJV]
- 15. The Marriage Supper of the Lamb is where Christ will meet with His Bride (the
church, men and women). Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is
neither bond nor free, there is neither male
nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
[KJV] The wedding and marriage supper then
takes place. This possibly happens just before
Christ comes to Earth as King of kings and
Lord of lords. Titus 2:13 Looking for
that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing
of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
[KJV] Christ’s Second Coming, to Earth!
