Rapture (Rebuke)-5
 
[ Regarding THE 2D COMING ]
 
"What if The Rapture is not true"..
 
[3] ALONG These Same lines I watch "the church" sitting in their pews relaxing to the point of unconcern as the pastors tell them: "But I don't plan to be here"; because, "the NEXT EVENT: we're outa' here; ..and, it might even happen before the meeting ends"! And the congregation chuckles, and goes back to sleep (mumbling) "yah, I don't plan to be here..either"!
 
 BUT ..just imagine if..."The RAPTURE Is NOT True"!
 
 
   * For, the Bible says: "There is  ONLY 1 Next Coming of JESUS"!
  And it's Not spelled "R-a-p-t-u-r-e"! But, "S-E-C-O-N-D" Coming!
 
 
 ..THEN, I Also Heard another say something like: "Though we won't be here, we can still "glean" from the study of the tribulation for the sake of gaining principles"..."gaining principles"!! AND others: "Rapture or not, it doesn't matter. ..What matter's is, we all trust in Jesus for salvation"!  Fine; but by being so blasé about it, you take away rightful comfort, blessing and joy in the True 'Hope'!
 And you who take 1Cor 15 & 1Thes 4 as "your own private little escape plan" or have the gall to say "it doesn't matter"! If you are called on to die for your faith, rather than "preserve your life", wouldn't it be wise to prepare your minds in case? THAT's what's at stake here, not some wishy-washy "disappearance" as the only "hope" of our future!  (and what about your children you're telling these lies to. Yes lies. wouldn't you do better to be pre-paring them for what is possibly ahead?)
 
 For example, look at this "often associated rapture word" 'soon', (in Rev 1.1): IT DOESN'T mean "soon"!!!  It ACTUALLY means, The Revelation of Jesus "will unfold f-a-s-t"! As it says in Rev 22.12: 'Behold, I am coming quickly'. The TRUE translation of that Gr word is to be drawn from 2 words, shown here in (5) variations:
 
   (1) 'in (with, by) + quickness' = could be written: 'quickly';
   (2) 'in (with, by) + speed' = could be written: 'speedily';
   (3) 'in (with, by) + rapidness' = could be written: 'rapidly';
   (4) 'in (with, by) + haste' = could be written: 'hastily'.
 
 It means: WHEN Jesus comes back, 'He will come' with swiftness! NOT "with soon"..!!  (You can't get "soon" outa those 2 words!)
 ..that's why the preachers' are telling us, "There's not one more prophecy to take place before Jesus comes"!  Unbelievable!  It's an
