I really feel like I need to address this. If you have been on ANY Social Media as of late, you have been told by some “Biblical Scholars,” “Pastors,” or “Children of God” that the Rapture is about to happen.
Folks, people are truly believing this. To the point of selling all they have, stopping paying bills, working, just basically giving up all to stand somewhere and look to the sky, awaiting our LORD to return.
First, it was October 6th. Nothing happened. Oh, wait, October 7th. Nothing happened. Would you believe October 8th? Nothing happened. Some then said October 24th, or maybe the 25th. What does the Bible say?
"But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.”
Stop. NO ONE knows except for God the Father. Even when Jesus, this is who is talking, even when Jesus was in the flesh, He did not know, because the flesh serves the world. Are you following?
“For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.”
What does this mean? Does it mean everyone sells or gives away their stuff and walks out into the field and waits for Jesus? No. Jesus explains more clearly.
“For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.” Matthew 24:36-39
Please, do not quit your job, sell or give away everything you have, and say, I no longer have to worry, because our Lord will return on this day. Please do not follow those who say Christ is here, or He is there. Or that He already came. As with all things, please follow what the Creator says. Stop listening to the creature. Believe it or not, He really does know more than we do.
