When is Jesus Coming for His saints?
The Appearing of the Lord (Rapture)
|
|
At the Great Heavenly Blackout, our Lord Jesus will appear in the cloud. He will then sent His angels to gather His elect from the four corners of the earth. Matt 24: 30-31; Mark 13:26-27; Luke 21:27. At the twinkling of the eye, the mortal bodies of these overcomers (elects) will be changed to the glorious bodies. The dead in Christ (the godly Christians only) will rise first, followed by those who are alive. They will then meet the Lord in the cloud and He will then take them back to heaven. Those left behind will suffer death or eternal damnation.

"Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other." Matt 24:30-31
|
For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. 1Thes 4:16-17
|
At Rapture, 2 Groups of Christians will be manifested.
|
|
Overcomers:- The 1st group will be those who will be caught up to heaven to be with the Lord. They are the overcomers (faithful Christians) who have endured to the end by keeping their faith in accordance to the Word of God. They have rejected the wrong teachings of the false christs and have overcome the deceptions of the false prophets. During the period of the Great Tribulation they have kept the faith and love not their lives. They have not bow down to the Antichrist not were they deceived.
Left Behind:- The 2nd group are those who are left behind on earth. They are the sleeping (not knowing the endtime events according to the Word) and drunk (enjoying the pleasures and successes of this world) Christians. They are not even aware that the devil or his agents (false christs and false prophets) are deceiving them. They may have bowed down to the Antichrist. At Rapture when Jesus comes, they will be caught as though thieves have come in to kill (not taken up at Rapture thus salvation not sure), steal (heavenly rewards supposedly to be given to them for serving God) and destroy (all those, including family members and Christians, under their care) all that they have. Repent, before your heart is harden. Read also

The Overcomers
|
|
"For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works. Assuredly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom." Matt 16:27-28
|
So Jesus said to them, " Assuredly I say to you, that in the regeneration, when the Son of Man sits on the throne of His glory, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel." Matt 16:27-28
|
The faithful are Christians who abide (living out) in His word and commands. They will be caught up to the cloud to meet the Lord and will be with Him forever. Rewards will be given to them and they will rejoice in the Lord. Many will be rewarded with crowns to rule with the King of kings. Hallelujah, for the rewards of the overcomers will most likely be the Bride of the Lamb
|
|
His lord said to him, ‘ Well done, good and faithful servant; you who were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord. Matt 25:21
|
Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing. 2 Tim 4:8
|
Those Left Behind
|
|
For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. For when they say, "Peace and safety!" then sudden destruction comes upon them, And they shall not escape. 1Thess 5:2-3
|
I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed; one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding grain together; one will be taken and the other left." "Where, Lord?" they asked. He replied, "Where there is a dead body, there the vultures will gather." Luke 17:34-37 (NIV)
|
All those who are left behind (after the Rapture) on earth will suffer tremendously. The whole heavens seem to be out of alignment. Great earthquakes will be everywhere as though the whole heavens roll up as a scroll. Half of mankind will be killed by the unprecedented great earth quakes and tsunamis immediately after Rapture.
On top of that, the Devil having been cast down to earth will put his wrath on all mankind especially misled and deceived Christians before they are killed with eternal damnation as the final destination.

Christians who are not watching (sleeping or drunk)
"Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect." Matt 24:44
"Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming." Matt 25:13
"But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into." Matt 24:43, Luke 12:39
"Remember therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast and repent. Therefore if you will not watch, I will come upon you as a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come upon you." Rev 3:3
"Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame." Rev 16:15

The Rapture is the end of the Period of grace representing the fullness of the Gentiles having come in. All Israel will mourn and repent for the One they pierce on the cross. They will accept Him as the Messiah. This will be the new Christians after the Rapture. The Wrath of Satan will be targeted at them. Rapture also is the beginning of the last 7 years for God to deal with the Israelite (Jews). 70 x 7 years will be needed for God to deal with the Jews and Jerusalem (Daniel 9:24-25). 69 x 7 years had already been completed i.e. at the crucifixion of our Lord Jesus Christ. Immediately after that, the Jews were no longer the people of God for the Period of grace has started. After the Period of grace, God will one again deal with the Jews and His holy city Jerusalem to bring in His Millennium Rule. Read more in the 7th Seal – The Wrath of Satan and the Wrath of the Lamb and of God.

When will the Rapture be ?
|
|
Since the Period of Conscience (Father) is 2000 Divine years, ( ...Read more)
and the Period of Law (Son) is also 2000 Divine years, then I assume
that the Period of Grace (Holy Spirit) is also 2000 Divine years.

Birth of Jesus was assumed to be 6AD - 8AD (This is an historical date and thus an error of 3 years should be taken in account)
Our Lord was on earth for approximately thirty three and a half years.
Thus, the Crucifixion of our Lord Jesus was in the year 40 - 42 AD
Then, Rapture will likely be around the year 2012AD*
2012AD* means 2011AD to 2015AD (an error of 3 years taken)
provided that the following signs (seasons) are fufilled
|
|
1. World War 3 killing 1/4 of mankind
2. Jerusalem conquered by enemies
3. Martyrdom of watchmen of God
4. Gospel preached to all tribes
5. Temple of God built in Jerusalem
6. Antichrist seated in the temple proclaiming himself god.
7. The Great heavenly Blackout to usher in our Lord Jesus Christ
Brethren, please note that the time is ripe for the End of ages.

Brethren, now you can Watch and Pray

But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber. 2 Pet 2:1-3
