“The RAPTURE of The Church” (07/05/23)
Introduction:
Our Blessed Hope….
I Corinthians
15:51-52 Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not
all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 in
a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised
imperishable, and we shall be changed.
Revelation 1:1-3 The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to
his servants[a] the things
that must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant
John, 2 who bore witness to the word of
God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, even to all that he saw. 3 Blessed is the one who reads aloud the
words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is
written in it, for the time is near.
Revelation
22:7 “And behold, I am coming
soon. Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy of this
book.”
Titus 2:12-13
training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live
self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, 13 waiting for our blessed hope, the
appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,
But
There Is A Problem….
II Peter 2:1-3But
false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false
teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even
denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction.
2 And many will follow their sensuality, and
because of them the way of truth will be blasphemed. 3 And
in their greed they will exploit you with false words. Their condemnation from
long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.
Matt. 24:11 And many false prophets will arise and lead many
astray.
Matt 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall
shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
ACTS 20:29-30 I
know that after my departure fierce wolves will come in among you, not sparing
the flock; 30 and from among your own
selves will arise men speaking twisted things, to draw away the disciples after
them.
COL. 2:88 See
to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according
to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits[a] of the
world, and not according to Christ.
