Pastors, those who listen to you preach need to hear these comforting words so they can obey Paul’s admonition to use this hope encourage each other as the world grows increasingly evil, violent, and threatening with each passing day.
WHAT “END TIMES” PROPHECY MEANS TO ME — by Ruth Brentner
To know Bible prophecy and to see it converging and aligning as never before in human history assures me that the Lord will fulfill all things written in His Word for the days to come. As a believer, my future is glorious and secure regardless of man’s opinions and interpretations of what is happening
The Rapture: Needed Encouragement for Perilous Times
Perhaps one of the most overlooked aspects of the Rapture is how it encourages believers during difficult and even dangerous times. We need this its comforting salve now, perhaps more than ever before.
Where else can we turn for hope as a war rages in Europe and threatens to further hinder the supply chain of food to our stores?
At Any Moment
The Rapture Cannot Happen at the Same Time as the Second Coming
The Rapture and the Second Coming are different events; they cannot happen at the same time.
In the previous post in this series, we established the Rapture as a biblical event; we have a firm scriptural basis for the series of closely related events that constitute our “blessed hope” (Titus 2:11-14).
The Rapture Is a Biblical Event
Early in the twentieth century, belief in the Rapture became a mainstay at Bible-believing churches in America and throughout the world. Unfortunately, much has changed during the past twenty-five years. The word “Rapture” has become taboo in many churches, even in those that claim to believe in the inspiration and inerrancy of Scripture.
The Other Shoe
In many ways, waiting for the other shoe to drop describes the times in which we live, does it not? Believers who are aware that we live in the last days recognize the many indicators of Jesus’ soon intervention in the world, which will begin with the Rapture followed soon by the Tribulation.
For us who are in Christ, the “other shoe” will be joyful and wonderful, but for the world, not so much.
