Are You Ready To Miss The Rapture?

Are You Ready To Miss The Rapture

Read: Revelation 20:4-6 Text: Revelation 20:6a

Intro- May I ask the same question I once heard a southern holiness evangelist put to his congregation? He asked, “ Are you ready to miss the rapture?” The times are up on us. At any moment the golden trumpet could sound, the illuminating lighting could come from the east to meet the west, the skies could roll back like a scroll, and the Lord Himself appear in the clouds and the saints that are alive and remain shall be caught up together to meet the Lord in the air to be with Him forever. Are you ready to miss it?

Ways to miss it.:

1-Stay unconcerned-

A.) Super Church- The Church split East and West. Eastern orthodox West Roman Catholic. The Catholic later split after the Reformation to form the Protestant church which branched into hundreds of incompatible denominations. In 1925-1927 effort was organized to reunite as it were The church, In 1948 in Amsterdam the World Council of Churches was born in an effort to organize a Super Church. However in order to keep unity major Theological and Doctrinal Issues had to be sacrificed or watered down. Source J Walvoord Armageddon Oil and the Middle East Crises

C.) Echelon- No joke even Rush Limbaugh has spoken of it. Super computer that intercepts emails, faxes, phone calls (local, long distance, cellular), internet communications, newsgroups, chat rooms, and all radio traffic. Analyzes for key words (such as pertaining to terrorism) Now its for “National Security” .

2. Neglect your salvation-

A) How shall We escape if we neglect so great a salvation?

3. Take the mark- Rev. 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. 9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
