DO Look Up!

Scripture: Matthew 24:1-24:48
Denomination: Baptist
Date Added: November 2010
Audience: General Adults (31 - 49)
talk about how they just 'disappeared.' Notice the slogan of the movie: "Don't Look Up!" It's the opposite of what Christ told us to do, in watching for His return. I think we will only see more of this as time goes onward at least until the actual event occurs. The world is being conditioned to believe a great lie when the Rapture does occur. [some info. from Fred Deruvo]

2 Thessalonians 2:11
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

Is it possible that Jesus will return in our lifetime? It’s not just possible...but probable. He may come back before the wedding today! I'm not looking for the undertaker, but the uppertaker! I’m not a date setter, and I’m not trying to make a prediction. But we need to recognize the signs of the times, and I’d like to share with you some more compelling evidence that at any time now Christ could explode onto the scene, rupturing the sky and rapturing the saints! Can you imagine flying away? Can you imagine being left behind?

So, how will it happen?
What's going to happen on this earth when the Rapture occurs? Maybe you'll be riding along in an automobile; you'll be the driver, perhaps; you're a Christian; there'll be several people in the automobile with you, maybe someone who is not a Christian. When the trumpet sounds, you and the other born-again Christians in that automobile will be instantly caught away, you'll disappear. Wherever you are at you will leave behind only your clothing and physical things that cannot inherit eternal life. That unsaved person or persons in the automobile will suddenly be startled to find that the car is moving along without a driver, and suddenly somewhere crashes. Those saved people in the car have disappeared. Other cars on the highway driven by believers will suddenly be out of control. Stark pandemonium will occur on that highway and on every highway in the world where Christians are caught away from the world. [planes, malls, offices, factories, classrooms, professional sporting events, churches!]
And all will have some left behind, scratching their heads…

Hal Lindsey said, “When Jesus returns many churches will not have to look for a new pastor.”

I want you to know that even though we are committed to staying here, when the rapture occurs we’re outta here! And I hope you are coming with me. [By the way, when that happens, you have my blessing to vote in Jerry McKee!]

End times events that precede the rapture are being played out before our very eyes. From the mid east to Russia to what's happening in the US today - The panorama for the second coming is spread out like a table for Sunday dinner. The stage is set, the key players have taken position, the cameras are rolling and the lights are beginning to dim. A hush is falling across the audience in heaven and all we need is for the Director to cry out, “Action!”

I THESS. 4:16 says the dead in Christ shall rise first, and then 17 says, Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

And the devil and those who aren't saved are left behind. Not me buddy! I'm taking rapture flight 777 and leaving old 666 in the dust!

Some say that every generation
