RAPTURE: How to get prepared for the Second Coming. Rapture is a “designed technology” by God to airlift the Christians to meet Jesus - an escape route from deadly tribulation.

And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed [are] they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb” (Revelations 19:9, 10).

her life questioned with a trip through what is likely among the most twisted narratives he or she will experience. He is riding the bathysphere into the now desolate city of Rapture. It is the city the entire game takes place in, and it serves as the most modern widely received illustration of Objectivism to date. Rapture was a city promised to be the ultimate opportunity for mankind. It was a place “where the artist would not fear the censor,” where a man could make a fortune he was willing to

Let’s do another side by side comparison and show that this verse is referring to the 2nd coming of Jesus Christ back to the earth, where all eyes shall see him and mourn when he appears. None of these details occur at the Rapture. Once again, Matthew 24:29-31 is not complete unless we take the other Gospel accounts, precept upon precept, line upon line, here a little and there a little, for a complete picture. 2nd coming of Jesus to earth Matthew 24:29-31 All nations vs. Jerusalem (Zechariah

Picture 29501940 Technically the Christian faith does not believe in reincarnation; however there are scriptures that could indicate otherwise. I do understand the concept that reincarnation and salvation don’t agree. I also do believe in the finished works of Jesus and the cross. One thing can be certain is that we only know part of the truth and mysteries of life, death and our soul. As I already mentioned, the bible also says that ‘’ for we know in part, and we prophesy in part….for we see

"And I choose to honor you over her" I watch Mother struggle in the water and wonder "is it worth killing her?" Father and I had killed a lot of people fighting our way out of Rapture, but they had all been on their feet and fighting. And there's no fun in this. Mother couldn't even put up a fight in her state. So I will take a leaf from father's book and won't kill her. Father.

(Gal. 3:12; Matt. 25:31-46). This surely reminds us of something, the Old Testament (OT)! Some of the tenets of the OT will come back in full force (Rev. 13:10; 14:13). The world will relive OT in two phases: the post-rapture, pre-millennial phase, which will be the worst representation ever of the OT, and the millennial phase

Refresher! When Jesus comes back at the 2nd coming, “his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives” (Zechariah 14:4).

Big difference my friends, and by now your eyes should be open to it. “For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth” Job 19:25 KJV Thank God for his great

Mark Twain saw a river, a river that had a profound effect on his perspective. The river was special to him, but after observing it for a while something changed. His perceptions of the river changed from a love and appreciation of the beauties the river held, to a bland “seen it before” and complete change to the other end of the spectrum. Twain himself even said that he made a “valuable acquisition,” but “lost something” too. Twain first described his “valuable acquisition” as “majestic.” This

Do you remember an evangelist sometime ago saying something about some Born Again Christians being dumb?" ME: "Yes, I do. He said that he had been enlightened to know that if a Born Again Christian sows seed faith money into a good ministry that Our Father will prosper him or her financially. Then this person also went on to say that a Born Again Christian who reads the Bible and does not see this truth is a DUMB PERSON."
