The
Sequence of Endtime Events
Equipping
God's Saints (Followers of Christ) through the prophecies of the
End Times …
If
we're not convinced enough that the saints come back and return with
Jesus at His Second Coming, let's look at Revelation 19:7-9, 14:
“Let
us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of
the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
And
to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean
and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
And
he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the
marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true
sayings of God.
…..
And
the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses,
clothed in fine linen, white and clean.”
This
passage tells us the saints are going to follow Jesus on white horses
as He returns. Revelation 17:14 really helps us to clarify this:
“These
shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for
he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him
are called, and chosen, and faithful.”
In
order to be in this group of saints that return with Jesus, we have
to be called, chosen and faithful.
1
Thessalonians 3:13 says it like this:
“To
the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before
God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all
his saints.”
The
scriptures leave no room for doubt or error at all. We are coming
with Him. In order to be with Him, we have to be caught up prior to
this time.
Jesus
said that we are not caught up until immediately after the
tribulation ~ the sun goes dark; the moon does not give her light;
then shall the Son of Man appear. We can't put it right on the day,
but we have now narrowed this down that we are right before or even
at the beginning of the Battle of Armageddon.
What
will it be like to be immortal and be with Jesus at the Battle of
Armageddon? We have an account of this in Joel Chapter 2 where it has
us fighting side by side with Jesus Christ against the Antichrist and
his armies. Joel 2:7-11 says:
“They
shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war;
and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break
their ranks:
Neither
shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and
when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded.
They
shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall, they
shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows
like a thief.
The
earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and
the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining:
And
the LORD shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very
great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the
LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?”
The
timeline for this scripture is established ~ The Day of the Lord.
So
here we are, with the Lord. We are now immortal. As we move toward
the ranks of the Antichrist … the Antichrist still doesn't realize
what's going on here. All of a sudden we face a frontal attack. The
Bible says that the ten kings that join together to support the
Antichrist will make war with Him that sits on the horse, speaking of
Jesus Christ. There, we will be with Him. They are going to blast
away at us with machine guns and we are going to keep advancing
toward them. They will not harm us.
This
all sounds like fantasy, but this is what the Bible says is going to
happen. We have to come to terms with these scriptures. We are going
to be fighting and we are going to be immortal.
There
is actually not going to be much of a fight, though. The Bible says
Jesus Christ will smite them by the sword of His mouth. If God can
say, “Let there be light,” and there was; if He can say seperate
the ligh from the darkness; if He can say seperate the ocean from the
land … you just don't want to fight with that.
That's
why we want to be on the side of Jesus Christ. Matthew 24:44 says:
“Therefore
be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man
cometh.”
If
you are looking for a purpose in your life and you don't really know
why you are on this earth, let me tell you …
You
have been put on this earth for a very short segment of time. The
Bible says your life is but a vapor … it's here … it's gone.
You're not put here to be here. You are put here to prepare you for
where you are going to be … forever. If being prepared for the
Second Coming of Jesus Christ is somewhere down on your list, move it
to the top. Make it your highest priority. If you miss this, you have
missed the purpose of there even being human beings. You have missed
the purpose for you existance.
Whatever
you do, if you are not really serious about your salvation now,
change that. Get right. Do what you need to do and make sure you are
ready for the time when Jesus Christ returns.
The
soul purpose of this life is to get ready for the life to come. We
are put here to see if we will choose Satan or God; whether we will
choose good or evil; light or darkness.
The
huge amount of information we have about the endtimes is not put in
the Bible by accident or by happenstance. It is designed by God so
that we can be prepared.
This
is God's dream. This is His whole plan for the human race. This is
what He wants to do, so we don't want to miss this.
We
mentioned that we have the Rapture of the Church, the Marriage Supper
of the Lamb and then the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. But before
Armageddon happens, something else happens.
