Mat 24:40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall
be taken, and the other left.
Mat 24:41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the
one shall be taken, and the other left.
Mat 24:42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour
your Lord doth come.
Mat 24:43 But know this, that if the goodman of the
house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and
would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
Mat 24:44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an
hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
Mat 24:45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom
his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
Mat 24:46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when
he cometh shall find so doing.
Mat 24:47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him
ruler over all his goods.
Mat 24:48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his
heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
Mat 24:49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants,
and to eat and drink with the drunken;
Mat 24:50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day
when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
Mat 24:51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him
his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Mar 13:34 For the Son of man is as a man taking a far
journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every
man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.
Mar 13:35 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:
Mar 13:36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
Mar 13:37 And what I say unto you I say unto all,
Watch.

Those two verses
there in Matthew 24:40,41 are what an entire group of people, probably in the
millions, base their belief on what they call the Rapture. Jesus is giving
parables of the SUDDEN, UNEXPECTEDNESS that His return will be. He is saying
that when He returns to call those that are HIS to meet Him in the air, that
yes, many will go but many more will not go, but NO WHERE does it tell us that
this is all done in secret, and people aren't going to know why, and people are
going to be given a second chance, NO WHERE!
When Christ returns He is taking ALL those that are His, even those who
died and have been sleeping death's sleep for thousands of years. He is going to take the dead that are His and
the living that are His, the rest will NEVER BE HIS! NEVER!
There isn't going to be any more time for people to repent. Christ
returns when it is ALL done, every case is decided. Our time to REPENT is NOW!
We can't wait a single second and imagine that we have another second. A brain
aneurysm takes only a moment to kill someone, and none of us know if we even
have another second. We have to accept Christ NOW, not believe we have time
enough later to repent. When Christ tells us one will be taken and another
left, He means it. He never says He'll
come back later for those He left the first time, NEVER. That is a made up
DECEPTIVE theory that Satan has cultivated to capture many, many people who
STOP looking for the truth in God's word. So many never even search for the
truth themselves but rather take the word of others. NEVER TAKE MY WORD FOR
ANYTHING SCRIPTURAL! Look it up for yourselves PLEASE!
Mat 24:42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour
your Lord doth come.
WATCH.
Mat 24:43 But know this, that if the goodman of the
house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and
would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
Mat 24:44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an
hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
Mar 13:34 For the Son of man is as a man taking a far
journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every
man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.
Mar 13:35 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:
Mar 13:36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
Mar 13:37 And what I say unto you I say unto all,
Watch.
If you KNOW you
might be robbed- you watch!
If you know you
might be robbed and take no precautions, you will be robbed.
We have to be READY
ALWAYS.
Our Bible tells us-
'Therefore be ye also READY. FOR IN SUCH
AN HOUR AS YE THINK NOT THE SON OF MAN COMETH.'
Be READY.
We MUST be prepared
at all times!
Every day our Savior
is ONE DAY closer to coming again!
Every day we have to
be ready for Him to return. There should be NOTHING left undone in our
preparation, not a single thing for a single moment. If there is, we are not
preparing, we are not ready.
Our trust has to be
fully placed in the righteousness of our SAVIOR.
If we are waiting
for someone to pat us on the back and tell us we're ready now, we'll be waiting
forever. If we are waiting for perfection in ourselves, we'll never be ready
because we'll be tempted to use that as an excuse. We'll tell ourselves it's too
hard, or we'll tell ourselves God understands. We will say a lot of things to
ourselves but the bottom line is we HAVE to be ready and that means we are
eagerly awaiting our Lord's return. We are waiting, watching, praying always!
