Calling the Flock Home Any Moment Now

 Just a heads up that many prophecy watchers are getting pretty excited about the Lord’s return to gather his bride.  Here’s another dude that asks us if we all can’t feel the intensity of the nearness of all these things coming to pass.

*****************************

Anyone who cannot see and feel all the changes that have taken place since the last major election has either been in solitary confinement with no media available whatsoever, or has been in a coma. Luke 21:28 actually took place a year or two before our current president took office. “Now, when these things beginto take place, straighten up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.” (ESV all emphasis mine)

The “things” that are listed in Matthew 24 and Luke 21 are well past the beginning stage, which should put a spirit of anticipation on the hearts of all who have received and accepted Jesus as their Savior. The attitudes given by Paul in 2 Timothy 3:1-7 are all present and are becoming more in the open than ever before.

Matthew states that these events are the “beginning of birth pains,” and many will fall away from the faith as lawlessness increases. Does anyone truly believe that everything is as it has been from the beginning, with no changes whatsoever? Those would be the “scoffers” as given in 2 Peter 3:3-4.

Before the man of lawlessness can be revealed, the Force that now restrains him has to be removed (2 Thessalonians 2:6-9). When a person receives and accepts Jesus as their Savior, the Holy Spirit indwells them. When the Holy Spirit is removed, all true believers will have to be removed as well, to keep God’s promise of our not going through the Tribulation/Wrath. That will be the “Harpazo,” “Rapture,” or the “taking up” of all of the Savior’s flock.

We’re told of a “strong delusion” from God in 2 Thessalonians 2:10-12 being given to those who will not accept the Savior so that they will believe all the false issues. They will be condemned for taking pleasure in unrighteousness.

Rioting and mayhem are being reported in various places daily. In some parts of the world, Christians are being martyred just for believing in Christ. When the ultimate antichrist appears, all who do not worship him but who claim Jesus as their Savior will be subject to being killed.

God promises in 1 Thessalonians 1:10, 1 Thessalonians 5:9-10, and Revelation 3:10 that those who are “in Christ” will not be here to go through the worst 7-year period of earth’s history. We will be removed according to 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 and 1 Corinthians 15:51-53. After that, it will still be possible for people to call on Jesus, but the cost will be significant, as given above. Revelation 20:4-6 speaks of the “tribulation martyrs” being brought back to life to reign with Jesus for the Millennial period, and from the emphasis given, there will be many of them.

God is allowing the evil progression to continue to fulfill Biblical Prophecy. This age we are now in is rapidly coming to an end, and the next stage will start soon. Meanwhile, God is providing time for people to call out and be saved (Romans 10:9-13). He doesn’t want anyone to be condemned (2 Peter 3:9) but eventually will send Jesus to take his “church” Home.

Keeping up with what the prophecy experts are saying, it becomes obvious even to a novice such as I that we are in line for a major change very soon. Now is not the time to put off planning for your eternity. If, for some reason, you have been delaying until later to call on Jesus to save you, that “later” is here right now. He could be calling His flock Home at any moment now. All who delay past that point will soon realize how big a mistake they have made.
