3 REASONS WHY THE PREDICTION OF THE RAPTURE TODAY AT 6 PM WAS A BIG JOKE AND NOT BIBLICAL…
(Matthew 24:36; 42- 44) 36- “But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. 42- Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. 43- But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. 44- Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.”
Definition of watch: 1. transitive and intransitive verb observe: to look at and keep your attention on something or somebody over a period of time |
2. intransitive verb keep lookout: to keep a lookout for something that might appear or happen be on the watch for somebody or something to look out for somebody or something (MSN Encarta dictionary-On line) 1- “But of that day and hour (referring to His coming which is the rapture) knoweth no man…” No one knows here on earth… and Jesus continued on to say, “no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.” No one knows in the heavens both the good and evil angels (principalities and powers in the air which is the second heaven), but God the Father only. Is he God that he knows the time of Christ’s coming? 2- Because the Bible did not say anything about the month, the day and the year and even the hour of His coming. Verse 42- “Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.” And Jesus did not say that He will destroy the whole world right away, but for sure there will be chaos and accidents like never before since Old Testament times. 3- According to Apostle Paul’s writing in (I Corinthians 15:52) “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” There is no Scripture reference about Christians being told to celebrate and have a big party while waiting for His coming. (Matthew 24:44) “44- Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.” It’s “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye…” It will not be base on someone else’s calendar and timetable, but according to the Bible, it will be like “the thief in the night.” You must be ready and must be watching!!!
