Signs in the Heavens 🌌✨

📖 Luke 21:25 (KJV):

"And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring."

Lunar eclipses 🌕

Solar eclipses ☀️

Unique celestial events, like blood moons.

Mass Animal Die-Offs 🐟🦅

📖 Hosea 4:3 (KJV):

"Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away."

Unexplained deaths of fish, birds, and animals across the globe.

Natural Disasters 🌊🔥🌪️

📖 Luke 21:11 (KJV):

"And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven."

Earthquakes

Wildfires

Hurricanes and tsunamis

These events are growing in frequency and intensity!

Bizarre Weather Patterns ☁️❄️

📖 Romans 8:22 (KJV):

"For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now."

From extreme heat to unexpected storms, the earth is groaning under the weight of sin.

Wars and Rumors of Wars ⚔️🌍

📖 Mark 13:7-8 (KJV):

"And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet."

Conflicts and threats of war continue to escalate globally.

Moral Decline 😔

📖 2 Timothy 3:1-5 (KJV):

"This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy..."

Disobedience to parents

Pride and selfishness

A lack of godly love and compassion.

Increase in Knowledge and Technology 📚🤖

📖 Daniel 12:4 (KJV):

"But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased."

We are living in an age of rapid technological advancements and global connectivity.

Apostasy in the Church ⛪💔

📖 2 Thessalonians 2:3 (KJV):

"Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first..."

False doctrines are being taught.

Lukewarm faith is widespread.

Famine and Food Shortages 🌾🍞

📖 Matthew 24:7 (KJV):

"For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places."

While we are already seeing food insecurity and localized shortages around the world, the famine mentioned here is only a precursor. The famine that will come during the Tribulation is much worse—unprecedented in scale. During this time, food will be scarce, and the cost of basic necessities will skyrocket, as described in Revelation 6:5-6 and Revelation 18:8-9.

Middle East Peace Talks 🕊️

📖 1 Thessalonians 5:3 (KJV):

"For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape."

Efforts for peace in the Middle East are intensifying, just as prophesied.

Drying of the Euphrates River 🌊

📖 Revelation 16:12 (KJV):

"And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared."

The Euphrates River, a key biblical waterway, is receding.

Worldwide Preaching of the Gospel in the End Times 🌍✝️

📖 Matthew 24:14 (KJV):

"And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come."

This prophecy points to the end times, specifically leading up to and during the Tribulation. After the rapture, many will come to faith in Christ, including the 144,000 Jewish witnesses and others who will boldly preach the gospel to the nations, even in the face of great persecution. The gospel message will spread worldwide, fulfilling this prophecy before the final judgment.

✨ What Does This Mean?

The rapture will occur before the Tribulation begins. These signs remind us to stay alert and be ready for the return of Jesus Christ. The time is short—accept Him as your Savior today!

📖 John 14:3 (KJV):

"And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also."

🌿 THE FIG TREE & GOD’S PROPHETIC PROGRAM 🌿

🌿 THE FIG TREE & GOD’S PROPHETIC PROGRAM 🌿

📖 Matthew 24:32–34 (KJV)

Jesus did not give the parable of the fig tree as a vague illustration or a moral lesson. He used it within a specific prophetic discourse, spoken to Jewish disciples, on the Mount of Olives, concerning Israel’s future and the events leading up to His return. To understand it correctly, we must allow Scripture to define its symbols and must rightly divide between what belongs to Israel and what belongs to the Church.

🔥 WHAT THE FIG TREE REPRESENTS 🔥

In Scripture, the fig tree is consistently associated with Israel as a nation, especially in contexts of blessing, expectation of fruit, or judgment.

📖 “I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the firstripe in the fig tree.”

— Hosea 9:10 (KJV)

Here, God Himself identifies Israel using fig tree imagery. This establishes a biblical precedent: the fig tree is not a random symbol, but one God already attached to Israel’s national identity and covenant relationship with Him.

The fig tree therefore represents:

• Israel as a nation before God

• God’s covenant dealings with Israel

• Accountability for fruit (obedience, faithfulness)

The Church is never explicitly pictured as a fig tree. When Paul explains God’s dealings with Israel and Gentiles in the Church Age, he uses a different symbol entirely.

📖 Romans 11:1–2, 17–25 (KJV)

In Romans 11, Israel is represented by an olive tree, and Gentile believers are grafted in. This distinction matters: Scripture uses different symbols because God is dealing with different groups in different ways.

⚖️ ISRAEL UNDER JUDGMENT ⚖️

When Jesus cursed the fig tree, He was making a deliberate prophetic sign, not reacting in frustration.

📖 Matthew 21:19 (KJV)

The tree had leaves but no fruit — a picture of Israel’s religious activity without genuine faith. This mirrored Israel’s spiritual condition at the time.

Jesus reinforced this meaning through a parable:

📖 Luke 13:6–9 (KJV)

In this parable, Israel is portrayed as a fig tree given time to bear fruit. Judgment is deserved, but mercy delays it. This delay shows God’s patience, not cancellation of judgment.

That judgment was fulfilled historically in 70 AD, when Jerusalem was destroyed by Rome.

📖 Luke 21:20–24 (KJV)

This destruction was disciplinary judgment, not rejection or replacement.

📖 “God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew.”

— Romans 11:2 (KJV)

Israel was judged — not replaced.

🌱 ISRAEL TODAY — A SIGN, NOT SALVATION 🌱

Israel’s modern return to the land is prophetic, but it is not national salvation.

📖 Luke 21:24 (KJV)

Israel’s regathering fulfills prophecy concerning the times of the Gentiles, but Scripture makes clear that Israel returns in unbelief, awaiting future spiritual restoration.

📖 Romans 11:25–29 (KJV)

Paul explains that Israel’s blindness is temporary, and God’s promises remain intact because they rest on His faithfulness, not Israel’s performance.

This proves God has not abandoned His covenant people.

⏳ “THIS GENERATION” CLARIFIED ⏳

📖 Matthew 24:34 (KJV)

“This generation” must be interpreted in context. Jesus had just described specific, future signs — global deception, tribulation, cosmic disturbances, and His visible return.

The most natural reading is that “this generation” refers to the generation that witnesses these signs unfold, not the Church Age in general.

📖 Revelation 6–19 (KJV)

These chapters describe the same period Jesus outlined — the Tribulation. The Church is not appointed to this time.

📖 1 Thessalonians 5:9 (KJV)

This reinforces that Matthew 24 is not addressed to the Church doctrinally.

⬆️ THE RAPTURE — DISTINCT & IMMINENT ⬆️

Matthew 24 does not describe the Rapture. The Rapture was revealed later through Paul and concerns the Body of Christ.

📖 1 Corinthians 15:51–52 (KJV)

📖 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17 (KJV)

Unlike the Second Coming, the Rapture:

• Has no signs

• Is imminent

• Is a comfort, not a warning

• Removes the Church before wrath

📖 Titus 2:13 (KJV)

This is the Church’s blessed hope.

👑 THE SECOND COMING — POWER & GLORY 👑

The Second Coming is public, visible, and judicial.

📖 Matthew 24:29–31 (KJV)

📖 Revelation 19:11–16 (KJV)

Here, Christ returns after the Tribulation, to judge the nations and establish His kingdom on earth — fulfilling promises made to Israel.

✨ FINAL TRUTH ✨

Israel’s future is secure.

The Church’s hope is imminent.

God’s prophetic program is precise and trustworthy.

📖 “The scripture cannot be broken.” — John 10:35 (KJV)

This is not speculation.

This is not fear.

This is faith in a God who keeps His word.

🙏 Watch. Understand. Believe.

Satan's operations

The danger Scripture warns us about is not loud evil or obvious darkness. It is deception that feels familiar, reasonable, and even religious. That is why so many are misled—not because truth is unavailable, but because error is presented in ways that feel safe and convincing.

The enemy’s strategy has always been the same: distort truth just enough to make error believable. He does not need to remove Scripture—only to twist its meaning, blur its context, and distract people from what God has clearly said.

“For Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.”

— 2 Corinthians 11:14 (KJV)

This is why discernment matters. When truth is mixed with error, the result is confusion. When confusion is tolerated, people drift. And when people drift from sound doctrine, they become vulnerable to teachings that appeal to the flesh rather than submit to the authority of God’s Word.

God is not the author of confusion. Confusion is a warning sign that something is out of alignment with truth.

“God is not the author of confusion, but of peace.”

— 1 Corinthians 14:33 (KJV)

That is why Scripture calls believers to test everything—not by feelings, trends, or personalities, but by the Word of God rightly handled.

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God… rightly dividing the word of truth.”

— 2 Timothy 2:15 (KJV)

✝️ A Loving Word to the Lost

The greatest deception is not atheism or open rebellion—it is believing you are safe while rejecting the simple gospel.

The Bible defines the gospel clearly:

“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel…

How that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

And that he was buried,

And that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.”

— 1 Corinthians 15:1–4 (KJV)

Salvation is not found in religion, effort, or reform. It is found in believing what Christ has already finished.

“He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life.”

— John 3:36 (KJV)

📝 IMPORTANT NOTE (FOR CLARITY):

This image is symbolic, not literal. The Bible does not describe Satan as a horned figure holding Scripture. Scripture warns that deception is most dangerous because it often does not look evil at all.

📖 2 Corinthians 11:14

🛑 Deception thrives where discernment is absent

📖 Truth stands when tested by Scripture

rahab

She Was a Prostitute—So Why Does the Bible Honor Her More Than Kings?

but Lord Jesus Christ says :- Matthew 21:31 in the Bible, where Jesus tells religious leaders that tax collectors and prostitutes, who repented after hearing John the Baptist, are entering the Kingdom of God before the self-righteous leaders who rejected John's message. It highlights that those acknowledging their sin and turning to God (like sinners and repentant "undesirables") are favored over hypocrites who claim righteousness but don't follow God's ways. 

 Most people rush past Rahab’s story because it makes them uncomfortable. She wasn’t a prophet. She wasn’t a queen. She wasn’t “respectable.” Rahab was a prostitute living inside the walls of Jericho—an enemy city marked for destruction. And yet, when Israel’s spies arrived, she believed before anyone else did.

Rahab didn’t grow up with Scripture. She didn’t have a priest explain God to her. All she had was fear, rumors, and a choice. And she chose faith. She hid the spies, lied to protect them, and trusted that the God of Israel was real—even when doing so could cost her life.

Here’s the part that unsettles religious comfort zones: God didn’t just spare Rahab. He honored her. She married into Israel. She became the mother of Boaz. She became the great-great-grandmother of King David. And her name appears directly in the genealogy of Jesus Christ.

If we details of Rahab's faithful acts from Joshua 2:1-24: we see the full account of the spies entering Rahab's house, her hiding them, her confession of faith in God, the promise of protection, and the instructions for the scarlet cord. Here in Joshua 2:9-11: As Rahab tells the spies, "I know that the LORD has given you this land... for the LORD your God is God in heaven above and on earth below". is her great faith proclamation as a prophetess of God. This is what likes to hear from every child of God. Joshua 2:18: The spies tell her, "When we come into the land, you shall tie this scarlet cord in the window through which you let us down, and you shall gather into your house your father and mother, your brothers, and all your father's household". This scarlet thread symbolizes the redemption of Rahab and her household. This is same as the blood of Ram on the door frames of the houses of the Israelites in Egypt when God  saved them from the hands of Pharoah. Exodus 12:7 (KIV): "And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it" Exodus 12:13 (KJV): "T And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.." Exodus 12:22 (KJV): "And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the bason, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the bason; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning."  The same redemption and salvation we see in the life of Rahab and her household. 

So God accepted her faith in Him and was enumerated with the faithful. In  Hebrews 11:31: "By faith the prostitute Rahab, because she welcomed the spies in peace, did not perish with those who were disobedient". and in James 2:25: "In the same way, was not even Rahab the prostitute justified by her actions when she welcomed the spies and sent them off on another route

 There are many examples of such great men of faith through out the Bible who were accepted for their faith in the true God. Like Abraham: Called by God to leave his home, he obeyed, trusting God's promise for a great nation, becoming the father of faith (Hebrews 11). Joseph: Despite betrayal by his brothers and being sold into slavery, he maintained faith in God, eventually becoming a leader in Egypt and saving his family from famine. Moses: Trusted God to deliver the Israelites from Egyptian bondage, leading them through the Red Sea and the wilderness. Deborah: A prophetess and judge who, trusting God's guidance, rallied Israel to defeat their oppressors (Judges 4-5). Daniel: Threw into a lions' den for praying to God, he was miraculously saved, demonstrating unwavering trust (Daniel 6). David: Though a king, he relied on God as his refuge and stronghold during persecution by Saul and later in his reign (Psalm 18). Job: Lost everything but refused to curse God, holding onto His sovereignty and ultimately being restored (Job 13). In the same way Rahab: A prostitute in Jericho who hid Israelite spies, trusting their God, gave asylum to the two spies send by Joshua to spy the city of Jericho and was saved when the city fell (Joshua 2).

All these men were ordinary men but the common thing is that they trusted God of Israel in spite of all odds. This is what counted as faithful by the Lord.  In Hebrews 11:1. The opening verse in what has become known as the “faith chapter” tells us that “faith is the reality of what is hoped for, the proof of what is not seen.”  According to Hebrews 11:6, “without faith it is impossible to please God.” The writer didn’t say it’s hard to please God without faith. He said it’s impossible. We can see many examples in the old testament of such great faith in the midst of all difficulties. Another example is that of  Elijah. He was a prophet who didn’t blink in the face of stiff opposition. First, he confronted an evil king (1 Kings 17:1). Later, he stood by himself against an army of false prophets (1 Kings 18). As a result of his courage, this man of faith sparked a mini-revival among a nation of people who had been physically and spiritually dry for years.

God rewards men for their faith. Ordinary men and women who trusts in the Lord are taken to great rewards in life if they remain steadfast in their faith. Rahab too was rewarded for her trust in the Lord of Israel. Let that sink in. The lineage of the Savior runs straight through a woman most people would have written off as too sinful, too broken, too far gone.  In Matthew 1:5: "Salmon the father of Boaz, whose mother was Rahab" (NIV). This verse places her as the mother of Boaz, the great-grandmother of King David, and thus an ancestor of Jesus Christ, highlighting God's inclusion of unlikely individuals in His redemptive plan. And in Boaz too we can see another outcast Ruth coming into the same lineage again rewarded for her ardent infallible faith in the God of Israel. 

So what does this prove in the life of great faithful men and women of God. Rahab’s and other stories  demolishes the lie that your past disqualifies you. Immaterial of your past God calls people to Him but only a few truly listens to His voice. It exposes how often religious people misunderstand grace. God didn’t wait for Rahab to clean herself up—He stepped into her chaos and rewrote her future the moment she proclaimed her faith in the Almighty God of Israel.  

If Rahab, ruth Abraham and others could be redeemed, protected, and woven into God’s redemptive plan, then the real question isn’t whether God can use broken people. The Answer is God chooses anyone according to his will. 

When it comes to new testament, the matter of deliverance from God’s judgment (salvation), the Bible allows no tolerance for our boasting in anything that we do. “For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, that no one should boast” (Eph. 2:8-9). “But by His doing you are in Christ Jesus, … that, just as it is written, ‘Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord’” (1 Cor. 1:30-31).

pure or perverted

In every generation, the gospel is not usually rejected outright — it is changed just enough to sound acceptable. A little effort added. A small requirement attached. A subtle condition mixed in.

And that is exactly how the gospel becomes perverted.

The danger is not denying Christ openly, but altering the message of how salvation is received. Scripture warns us that when grace is mixed with anything else, the message is no longer good news — no matter how sincere it sounds.

This is not about denominations or personalities.

This is about truth versus corruption.

About clarity versus confusion.

About whether the gospel remains pure, or becomes perverted.

🧪 WHY MIXING GRACE AND WORKS CHANGES EVERYTHING

Paul’s warning in Galatians is one of the strongest in all of Scripture:

📖 “I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:

Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.”

— Galatians 1:6–7 (KJV)

Notice carefully:

Paul does not say they rejected Christ.

He says the gospel was perverted — twisted, altered, diluted.

The problem was not Christ’s death.

The problem was adding something alongside it.

Grace mixed with works may look harmless — but spiritually, it changes the entire message.

⚖️ WHAT MAKES A GOSPEL “PERVERTED”?

A gospel becomes perverted when:

• Grace is no longer sufficient by itself

• Faith is combined with performance

• Christ’s finished work is treated as incomplete

Paul explains the principle clearly:

📖 “And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace.”

— Romans 11:6 (KJV)

Grace and works cannot share the same foundation.

The moment works are added as a requirement for salvation, grace ceases to be grace.

That is not harsh — that is biblical logic.

✝️ THE GOSPEL OF GRACE STANDS ON A FINISHED WORK

In contrast, Scripture gives us a clear, complete, unaltered gospel — one that does not depend on human effort.

📖 “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel…

How that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

And that he was buried,

And that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.”

— 1 Corinthians 15:1–4 (KJV)

Notice what is emphasized:

• What Christ did

• Not what we do

• Not what we maintain

• Not what we prove

Salvation rests entirely on the finished work of Jesus Christ.

When Christ said, “It is finished” (John 19:30), nothing was left incomplete.

🔐 WHY ADDING WORKS UNDERMINES ASSURANCE

When works are added to salvation, assurance is lost.

If salvation depends partly on:

• Obedience

• Endurance

• Performance

• Personal righteousness

Then salvation becomes uncertain, fragile, and fear-based.

But Scripture teaches otherwise:

📖 “In whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise.”

— Ephesians 1:13 (KJV)

A sealed salvation is not probationary.

A finished work does not need supplementation.

The gospel of grace produces peace, not pressure.

Confidence, not constant doubt.

🚨 WHY THIS WARNING IS LOVING — NOT DIVISIVE

Calling out a perverted gospel is not unloving — it is necessary.

Paul says plainly:

📖 “But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you… let him be accursed.”

— Galatians 1:8 (KJV)

Why such strong language?

Because eternity is at stake.

A gospel that depends on human effort can never save, because fallen man cannot complete what Christ already finished.

✨ THE GOSPEL INVITATION — FOR THE LOST

Friend, if you are reading this and unsure of your salvation, here is the good news — clear and simple:

📖 Christ died for your sins.

📖 He was buried.

📖 He rose again.

This is the gospel that saves.

Salvation is not earned.

It is not maintained by effort.

It is received the moment you believe in what Jesus Christ has already done for you.

📖 “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.”

— Ephesians 2:8 (KJV)

When you believe, God saves you — fully, freely, and forever.

🔚 FINAL THOUGHT

Grace does not need improvement.

The gospel does not need adjustment.

Christ does not need help.

🛑 Grace mixed with works is no longer grace.

salvation

THE WORD OF GOD, WHICH EFFECTUALLY WORKETH ALSO IN YOU THAT BELIEVE 

Our new life IN Christ flows "from" salvation, not "for" salvation. 

Then, in time our worthy walk comes from God’s Spirit working in us as we understand His written word rightly divided. 

Salvation by grace through faith, first.

 

Then, as we study and believe Paul's grace doctrine, those truths work in us, and out through us, effectually in our walk as we yield our members servants to righteousness unto holiness.

Apostle Paul Writes To The 

Church The Body of Christ:

Romans 1:16 (KJV) For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

1 Corinthians 15:22 (KJV) For as IN Adam all die, even so IN Christ shall all be made alive. 

Romans 8:2 (KJV) For the law of the Spirit of life IN Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

Romans 3:23 (KJV) For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Romans 6:23 (KJV) For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Romans 6:17 (KJV) But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.

18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.

19 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.

1 Corinthians 15:1 (KJV) Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;

2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: 

Ephesians 1:13 (KJV) In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

2 Timothy 1:1 (KJV) Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is IN Christ Jesus,

1 Timothy 4:8 (KJV) ...having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. 

Galatians 2:20 (KJV) I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. 

1 Corinthians 3:9 (KJV) For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.

10 According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.

2 Timothy 2:1 (KJV) Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.

2 Timothy 2:7 (KJV) Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.

2 Timothy 2:15 (KJV) Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.

2 Corinthians 6:1 (KJV) We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.

2 Corinthians 1:12 (KJV) For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.

13 For we write none other things unto you, than what ye read or acknowledge; and I trust ye shall acknowledge even to the end;

14 As also ye have acknowledged us in part, that we are your rejoicing, even as ye also are ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.

1 Thessalonians 2:10 (KJV) Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe:

11 As ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father doth his children,

1 Thessalonians 2:12 (KJV) That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory.

13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe. 

1 Timothy 4:13 (KJV) Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.

1 Timothy 4:15 (KJV) Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.

16 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.

THE RAPTURE — CHRIST COMES FOR HIS CHURCH

Many believers confuse the Rapture and the Second Coming, assuming they are the same event. Scripture shows they are not the same, yet this does not mean Christ comes twice in contradiction. Rather, the Bible reveals two distinct phases of Christ’s return — one for His Church, and one with His Church.

Let’s let the Word speak. 👇

🚀 THE RAPTURE — CHRIST COMES FOR HIS CHURCH

📖 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17 (KJV)

“For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout… and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air…”

🔹 Christ meets believers in the air, not on the earth

🔹 Only believers are involved

🔹 It is a moment of comfort and joy, not judgment

🔹 No signs are given — it is imminent

📖 John 14:2–3 (KJV)

“I go to prepare a place for you… I will come again, and receive you unto myself…”

This is a receiving, not a reigning.

A gathering, not a global judgment.

👑 THE SECOND COMING — CHRIST RETURNS WITH HIS CHURCH

📖 Revelation 19:11–14 (KJV)

“And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse… and the armies which were in heaven followed him…”

📖 Zechariah 14:4 (KJV)

“And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives…”

🔹 Christ touches down on the earth

🔹 Every eye sees Him (Revelation 1:7)

🔹 He judges the nations

🔹 Satan is bound (Revelation 20:1–3)

🔹 His Millennial Kingdom begins

This happens after the Tribulation — not before it.

⚠️ IMPORTANT CLARITY

This is not “two Second Comings.”

It is:

✔️ One return of Christ

✔️ Unfolded in two stages

✔️ Separated by prophetic events

Just as His first coming had stages (birth, ministry, death, resurrection, ascension), His return also unfolds according to God’s order.

📖 Ecclesiastes 3:1 (KJV)

“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.”

❤️ A WORD TO THE LOST — THE GOSPEL STILL STANDS

Before prophecy unfolds, salvation is offered.

📖 1 Corinthians 15:1–4 (KJV)

“Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day…”

The gospel is not fear — it is good news.

Not religion — but redemption.

Not works — but what Christ has already done.

📖 Romans 10:13 (KJV)

“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

⏳ WHY THIS MATTERS

The Rapture reminds believers to watch and live ready.

The Second Coming reminds the world that Jesus is King.

📖 Titus 2:13 (KJV)

“Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ.”
