Hi, the rapture has happened on earth and some have been taken. They did not die but were taken by the Lord Jesus up to heaven. You did not go because you are not saved or born again... yet.
Here is the verse in the bible that talks about the rapture that has just happened:
1 Thess 4
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 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.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
This describes the rapture that has happened. Notice verse 17 that says we (the saved) which are alive and remain shall be caught up. This literally happened. If you have any saved, born again bible believing family members or friends, they are gone up to heaven right now.
Terrible days are coming next into this world. After the rapture the restrainer of evil has been removed. This means the demonic realm will openly manifest on earth. They call themselves "aliens". Also coming is an evil world leader called the antichrist. He will be revealed and rise to power. This popular but wicked man confirms a 7 year covenant of death and hell with Israel. This starts up the 7 year time of jacobs trouble. That is when the judgment of God comes to earth. Judgment comes as 7 seals, 7 trumpets, and 7 bowls. You can read about this in Revelation 6-19.
Very terrible things will happen on earth from now until the time the Lord Jesus returns. Just stand and be faithful even unto death.
As I mentioned all saved were taken to heaven in the rapture. This leaves only lost souls upon the earth.
But there is good news. Many will be saved after the rapture of the church. Could you be one of those saved ones? It is your choice to be saved or lost. Here is something to consider.
THE LOST SOUL This person chose to reject salvation found only in the Lord Jesus. At death they go to shoel hades or hell. They await the great white throne judgment. After, they are thrown forever into the lake of fire.
THE SAVED. This person trusted the Lord Jesus alone for eternal salvation. At death they go to heaven and will forever be with the Lord.
I have to give you a warning. People saved after the rapture will be hunted down by followers of the antichrist and put to death. Soon it will be a capital offence to believe in God. But do not worry as at death you will be in heaven with the Lord, forever. Here is an encouraging verse for you.
2 Corinthians 5
8 “We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.”
Isn't that encouraging? If you are arrested and put to death for believing in the Lord Jesus, your will be with the Lord in heaven forever.
Here is how to be saved. It is easy. Just admit you are a lost sinner before God (repentance). Next, trust the Lord Jesus alone for eternal salvation
MAKE YOUR ETERNAL CHOICE.. BE WISE
Now is the time to be saved. Salvation is today as tomorrow may be too late for you. First, repent by admitting you are a lost sinner before God.
Romans 3
23 “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;”
Realize that sin pays a wage, and that wage is death. There are 2 types of death: 1... physical death 2... eternal death and separation from God. This is torment forever in the lake of fire. See this verse:
Romans 6
23 “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
Realize that God has a free gift of salvation that is available to all willing to receive it.
John 3
16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
As many as trust in the Lord Jesus alone for salvation are saved and have eternal life. After this life is over, they have a home in heaven forever.
John 1
12 “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:”
So do not wait. Choose to be saved now. You have a very short time on earth to make this decision. Choose wisely.
If your heart is ready right now, here is a suggested prayer:
Pray.
Dear Lord, I admit that I am a lost sinner in need of salvation. I understand that the Lord Jesus died on the cross and paid for my sins. Right now I trust in the Lord Jesus alone to save my soul. Lord Jesus, come into my life and forgive my sin and give me eternal life. Amen.
1 John 5
11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
John 1
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
