SIGNS OF THE TIMES-LATELY 2021

INTRODUCTION

The letters of both 1 & 2 Thessalonians are, in fact, the go to places in the bible that will guide and reassure us of the coming Rapture for the Church. That’s right, the Rapture-and for those of you who maybe hearing this word, “Rapture” for the first time, and can’t find it in your bible, then this message is for you. And for those of us who know exactly what this word means, but maybe havent really been able to understand or even find it in the bible or find it, but don’t really comprehind it-this message is for you.

Lastly, for those Bereans out there who study your bible regularly and have a good handle on this doctrine of “last things” better known as eschatology. My hope is, maybe you might learn something new or at least be encouraged by today message as we encourage each other with the Word of God. When studing the Word regularly I’m reminded of what

2 Tim 3:16-17 says;

16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.

I like, especially in verse 17 saying ‘that the man of God maybe Complete’ In others words, that the word of God, will in fact, complete us!

Also, remember the word,”breathed out by God”

Let’s lay down our foundation for todays message
