For those who worry that we don't believe in the promise of the "caught up" allow me to clarify.
As I read 1 Thessalonians, I don't get the impression that there is a secret "rapture" because of many things that are said within the very passage that Rapture Teachers use.
1 Thessalonians 4:15-17 "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.
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 Messiah shall rise first:
Then we which are ALIVE AND REMAIN shall be CAUGHT UP [RAPTURE] together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord."
So we can clearly see that IF we are blessed to be ALIVE during this event, we will witness the DEAD rise FIRST.
There is NO clear indication that the sequence of events are instantaneous. The presumption of most is that the Dead in Christ RISE and we are IMMEDIATELY caught up . . . There could be a time period between that we don't see.
ALL who are Ressurrected will PREACH the Gospel to all as they rise.
This is the TIME we have all waited for and NOW we may be among those who are ALIVE AND REMAIN . . . if we endure.
So many are PRESUMING to be in this number but . . . I have seen the testing fields and the depth of Tribulation many saints worldwide are enduring . . . this way will be narrow and very difficult.
Most are not "geared up" spiritually for this hard road. They have been raised on soft and vain words that have fostered a generation of the fearful and unbelieving.
Therefore NOW more that ever . . . the Strong and Courageous are needed to DECLARE the word of COURAGE to the hearts of the Redeemed to STAND when others are falling.
Remnant House has been blessed among others with this mission to strengthen the feeble knees of the Remnant to ENDURE this time.
Thank you for being a part of this house . . . May we finish well before HIM.
