The Rapture Explained

I THESS 4:16, 17

NOTE: STILL ALIVE AND ARE LEFT=SURVIVED THE GREAT

TRIBULATION AND REMAINED IN CHRIST

ALSO, WE WILL MEET AS IN GREET, NOT STAY IN THE

CLOUDS!! WE ESCORT YESHUA TO EARTH AS WE BEGIN OUR

CO-REIGN WITH HIM FOR A THOUSAND YEARS.

MATT 24:36-THE DAY YESHUA IS TALKING ABOUT IS THE DAY

WHEN HEAVEN AND EARTH PASS AWAY V.35.

V.37 AS WERE THE DAYS OF NOAH—WHAT’S BEING LIKENED

TO THE DAYS OF NOAH. SO WILL BE THE COMING OF THE

SON OF MAN

V.38 SO HOW ARE THESE DAYS SIMILAR? BEFORE THE FLOOD

THEY WERE LIVING REGULAR LIVES WITH NO EXPECTATION

OF A FLOOD, 1. UNTIL THE DAY NOAH ENTERED THE ARK

(BELIEVER) AND THEY WERE UNAWARE 2. UNTIL THE FLOOD

CAME AND SWEPT THEM AWAY (UNBELIEVER), SO WILL BE

THE COMING OF THE SON OF MAN.

TAKEN = NONBELIEVER; LEFT=BELIEVER

V.40 THEN 2 MEN WILL BE IN THE FIELD, 1 WILL BE TAKEN

AND 1 LEFT.

V.41 2 WOMEN GRIDING AT THE MILL, 1 TAKEN AND 1 LEFT

V.42 STAY AWAKE (THE GREAT AWAKENING)

NOAH WAS READY AND PREPARED

V.43 BUT KNOW THIS, IF THE MASTER OF THE HOUSE HAD

KNOWN IN WHAT PART OF THE NIGHT THE THIEF WAS

COMING, HE WOULD HAVE STAYED AWAKE!

V.44 BE READY FOR THE SON OF MAN IS COMING AT AN

HOUR YOU DO NOT EXPECT.

V.45 FAITHFUL AND WISE SERVANT—SERVING—GIVING

THEM THER FOOD—AT THE PROPER TIME. DOING, SERVING,

AS HE IS AWAKE

V.46 MASTER FINDS FAITHFUL SERVANT DOING WHEN HE

COMES

V.48 WICKED SERVANT—MY MASTER IS DELAYED (LOOSING

HOPE THAT HE MAY NEVER RETURN) SIMILAR TO NOAH’S

DAYS, THE FLOOD WAS DELAYED IN THEIR MINDS. THIS

SERVANT WAS BEATING HIS FELLOW SERVANTS AND EATS

AND DRINKS WITH DRUNKARDS.

V.50 THE MASTER COMES ON A DAY WHEN HE DOES NOT

EXPECT AND AT AN HOUR HE DOES NOT KNOW

V.51 WILL CUT HIM IN PIECES AND PUT HIM WITH THE

HYPOCRITES IN THAT PLACE WHERE THERE’S WEEPING

AND GNASHING OF TEETH. (SEPARATION FROM GOD)

MATTHEW 22:11-14

THROW HIM OUTSIDE INTO THE DARKNESS, WEHRE

THERE WILL BE WEEPING & GNASHING OF TEETH. MANY

ARE INVITED BUT FEW ARE CHOSEN.

MATTHEW 25 THE PARABLE OF THE 10 VIRGINS

V.10 FOOLISH VIRGINS, UNAWARE, NOT PREPARED WHEN

THE BRIDEGROOM COMES. THE VIRGINS WHO WERE

READY WENT WITH HIM TO THE MARRIAGE FEAST AND THE

DOOR WAS SHUT.

V.11 WHOSE LEFT OUTSIDE, THE FOOLISH VIRGINS WHOM

HE TOLD, “I TELL YOU THE TRUTH, I DON’T KNOW YOU.”

MATTHEW 25 THE PARABLE OF THE TALENTS

V.30 (TO THE SERVANT WHO HID THE TALENT IN THE

GROUND)

AND THROW THAT WORTHLESS SERVANT OUTSIDE, INTO

THE DARKNESS, WHERE THERE WILL BE WEEPING AMD

GNASHING OF TEETH,

THE PARABLE OF THE SHEEP AND THE GOATS

V.45-46 JESUS REPLIES, “I TELL YOU THE TRUTH, WHATEVER

YOU DID NOT DO FOR ONE OF THE LEAST OF THESE, YOU

DID NOT DO FOR ME.” “THEN THEY WILL GO AWAY TO

ETERNAL PUNISHMENT, BUT THE RIGHTEOUS TO

ETERNAL LIFE.”

WE INHERIT THE NEW EARTH AND THE NEW HEAVENS, THE

NEW CREATION AND ARE CAUGHT UP WITH HIM TO RECEIVE

HIM AND CO REIGN WITH HIM HERE ON EARTH!

TAKEN=UNRIGHTEOUS

STAY=RIGHTEOUS CHILDREN OF GOD

MATTHEW 3:9-10

AND DO NOT THINK YOU CAN SAY TO YOURSELVES, “WE

HAVE ABRAHAM AS OUR FATHER.” I TELL YOU THAT OUT OF

THESE STONES GOD CAN RAISE UP CHILDREN FOR

ABRAHAM. THE AX IS ALREADY AT THE ROOT OF THE

TREES, AND EVERY TREE THAT DOES NOT PRODUCE GOOD

FRUIT WILL BE CUT DOWN AND THROWN INTO THE FIRE.

V.12 HIS WINNOWING FORK IS IN HIS HAND, AND HE WILL

CLEAR HIS THRESHING FLOOR, GATHERING HIS WHEAT

INTO THE BARN AND BURNING UP THE CHAFF WITH

UNQUENCHABLE FIRE.

MATTHEW 7:19

EVERY TREE THAT DOES NOT BEAR GOOD FRUIT IS CUT

DOWN AND THROWN INTO THE FIRE.

V.24 WISE MEN BUILD ON THE ROCK (CHRIST), FOOLISH

MEN BUILD ON SAND

V.27 THE RAINS CAME DOWN, THE STREAMS ROSE, AND THE

WINDS BLEW AND BEAT AGAINST THAT HOUSE, AND IT FELL

WITH A GREAT CRASH. FALL OF BABYLON.

MATTHEW 8:11-12

I SAY TO YOU THAT MANY WILL COME FROM THE EAST AND

THE WEST, AND WILL TAKE THEIR PLACES AT THE FEAST

WITH ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB IN THE KINGDOM OF

HEAVEN. V.12 BUT THE SUBJECTS OF THE KINGDOM

(NONBELIEVERS) WILL BE THROWN OUTSIDE, INTO THE

DARKNESS, WHERE THERE WILL BE WEEPING AND

GNASHING OF TEETH.

MATTHEW 11:22-23

CITIES THAT SAW JESUS’ MIRACLES AND REJECTED HIM,

WILL GO DOWN TO THE DEPTHS (HADES/HELL). IF THE

MIRACLES PERFORMED IN YOU(CAPERNAUM), HAD BEEN

PERFORMED IN SODOM, IT WOULD HAVE REMAINED TO

THIS DAY.

(IF SODOM HAD BEEN RIGHTEOUS, IT WOULD HAVE

REMAINED UNTIL THIS DAY!)

MATTHEW 13:48-50

WHEN IT WAS FULL, THE FISHERMEN PULLED IT UP ON THE

SHORE. THEN THEY SAT DOWN AND COLLECTED THE GOOD

FISH IN BASKETS, BUT THREW THE BAD AWAY. THIS IS

HOW IT WILL BE AT THE END OF THE AGE. THE ANGELS

WILL COME AND SEPARATE THE WICKED FROM THE

RIGHTEOUS AND THROW THEM INTO THE FIERY

FURNACE, WHERE THERE WILL BE WEEPING AND

GNASHING OF TEETH.

JOHN 17:15

JESUS PRAYS: MY PRAYER IS NOT THAT YOU TAKE THEM OUT

OF THE WORLD BUT THAT YOU PROTECT THEM FROM THE

EVIL ONE.

Throughout the scriptures, we see patterns and confirmations. There are

so many scriptures that we can look at in both old and new testament

that indicates that we are being equipped to wear His armor daily for the

battle ahead. If we were to be raptured into heaven and never have the

opportunity to co labor into victory with Him, why would we need to get

equipped? Noah was in the tribulation period of the flood, but protected

from God’s wrath. He must have heard the screams and felt the bodies

of animals and people hit the ark. He must have been so humbled and

thankful that God had spared his life and His wrath. Imagine his faith

must have increased by 1 million percent!!

If we are to look at Noah’s days, then we need to study what exactly

Noah did and how he lived his life, according to scripture. I say with a

bit of tongue in cheek, that Noah warned the people for 120 years of the

coming flood and didn’t lead anyone to the kingdom of God! YET God

knows the heart of man and it is up to Him to convert and not us. So we

see Noah was disciplined to share and we see God delivered Noah into

the ark and did not take him away, instead He swept away the non

believers.

I pray you find this helpful and as always, you are welcome to come to

the studies.

We are deep diving into areas we have known with a freshness that God

is allowing HIMSELF to be revealed. Blessings!
