Download or read book The Rapture written by Debbie Furey and published by Tate Publishing. This book was released on 2010-10 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Will you be ready for Christ's return? The Rapture: Behold, the Bridegroom Cometh! examines this question and offers a prediction about what will take place when that event occurs. Author Debbie Furey has spent countless hours in prayer and study uncovering hidden prophecies throughout the Bible related to Jesus Christ's second coming. One such prophecy in the book of Ruth paints a picture of the return of the Jews coming back into their land shortly before the marriage of Jesus Christ and His church. Another prophecy is hidden in the Song of Solomon—the parable of the five wise and five foolish virgins of Matthew 25, which explains what will happen to those who are ready and those who are not. For those who have ever wondered about the rapture or questioned how to be prepared, this insightful guide uses the truths of Scripture to answer questions such as: • Will all Christians be taken in the rapture? • What will happen during the seven-year tribulation period? • How is Jesus's return like the 'days of Noah'? • How is the rapture a picture of the ancient Jewish wedding customs? • What is the hidden prophetic meaning of the number two? May those who have ears to hear and eyes to see be ready when the shout is given, Behold, the Bridegroom Cometh!

Download or read book Rapture the Bride Redeemed written by Paul Lehr and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2017-07-04 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of the rapture is a highly charged and controversial topic. Does the Bible really speak of the idea of people essentially vanishing into the clouds? The short answer is yes. The concept of "rapture" is noted from the beginning in Genesis to the end in Revelation. There are rapture events (plural) even in the Old Testament. Rapture, The Bride Redeemed is a love story and dives into these issues and breaks down the text. What role does Jesus Christ play in the notion of "rapture"? Does it matter how individual people relate to Christ regarding the coming event?The idea was communicated across thousands of years ago and here we are in the 21st century. There is a cultural and language bridge we need to cross to fully understand and comprehend what is being stated in the text. We struggle to relate to customs of life in an agrarian society two to four thousand years ago in the Middle East.There are all kinds of theories as to when the event of the rapture occurs relative to the Great Tribulation. When will the rapture happen...before, during, or after the Great Tribulation?What about Israel and the church, the bride of Christ. Did the church replace Israel? Is God finished with Israel or do they have a future greatness? What does destiny have in store for both the church and Israel? Understanding these two entities is a key factor to making sense of the end time's scenario.The resurrection, the rapture, and the Second Coming of Jesus Christ...are these events related? Confusion is often noted with the discussion of these three happenings. When do they occur relative to each other and the Great Tribulation?Does God give answers with time markers relative to His Appointed Holidays? God tells us how to keep time from the beginning in Genesis. Can we accurately tell time as directed by God? We need to look to the sky (sun, moon, and stars) for those answers. Marking time is a moral matter of truth, not science as far as God is concerned.What in the world is a kinsman redeemer? And what does a Jewish wedding have to do with Jesus Christ and His bride, the church, or body of Christ? Does Jesus have a role and what is it? What is the point and purpose of the church? The symbols, process, and order of the engagement and wedding tell the story. Today in the 21st century, where are we in the marriage procession?God the Father and God the Son are involved. Where is the Holy Spirit in this matter? What are the considerations for the Spirit? Does the Holy Spirit even have a role?These questions and more are answered in the Rapture, The Bride Redeemed.

The purpose of this Bible study is to help Christians get prepared for their Groom's arrival, while illuminating certain features and events still in the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the Pre-Trib Rapture from a non-dispensationalist perspective. It contains many insights that are fresh and life changing! You will discover that it's not for all who profess Christ, but for the overcomers - the Bridal Remnant! It does not just appear in one or two Scriptures but is a major theme of the New Testament. The Bride longs and prepares for the Bridegroom as she awaits her upward call. The Bridegroom is coming soon, and she knows it, and can see the day approaching. He will take her to Himself as He has promised. This is, and has always been, the hope of the true church - to be with Jesus. Do you have this hope in you or has it been stolen by preachers who focus on this age rather than the one to come? There are two churches at the end - one that is lukewarm and one that's on fire. There is a bride and a harlot. There is a church that is taken and one that is left. Clearly now the lines are being drawn. If you are wanting to know the truth about the Rapture, this is the book for you!

Download or read book Perfect Fall Wedding written by Olabode Ososami and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-10-17 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the Bible about? The Bible is about a fall wedding. Decades ago, many found the theme of Preparing for the return of Christ rather dour but not anymore. The mood has since changed. Today there is renewed interest in eschatology and understanding readiness for what God is preparing our minds for - the End Times. There is a strong sense of something new coming, something imminent that we have never seen or could ever conceive ... and the wise need to be prepared. Many heed the cry to return to the pathway of holiness as we approach the end of the world as we know it. The Jewish Feast of Trumpets, the first of the fall feasts, foretells a coming Royal Marriage of the Messiah ushered by the Rapture of the saints. "The Perfect Fall Wedding:The Coming of Christ" uses the metaphor of a Royal Wedding to bring to fore perhaps the most important and pertinent issue for us today - whether we are Christians or not ... and that is the rapture. There is nothing haphazard about the things we are witnessing and there is always a latent faith perspective to the headlines.
Download or read book The Millennial Kingdom written by John F. Walvoord and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 1959 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Millennial Kingdom is a comprehensive biblical and historical treatment of the doctrine of the millennium written for the pastor, students, scholar, or layperson. The three leading millennial views -- postmillennialism, amillennialism, and premillennialism -- are presented in the context of their history, their theology, and their biblical interpretation. Dr. Walvoord presents postmillennialism first and then discusses amillennialism. However, the subject of premillenialism forms the main body of the work. The author introduces premillennialism with a survey of its historical background in the Old and New Testaments and in the history of the church. Its theological setting and methods of interpretation are discussed. A presentation of the character of the millennium concludes the volume.
Download or read book How Can We Know That We ll Go to Heaven Pack of 25 written by Randy Alcorn and published by Crossway Books. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A recent poll indicated that for every American who believes he or she is going to Hell, there are 120 who believe they're going to Heaven. This optimism stands in stark contrast to Jesus Christ's words written in the Bible: "Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few"(Matthew 7:13-14). The truth is that according to the Bible we don't automatically go to Heaven. In fact, Hell--not Heaven--is our default destination. Unless our sin problem is solved once and for all, we can't enter Heaven. That's the bad news. But once that's straight in our minds we're ready to hear the good news of Jesus Christ--Jesus took upon himself, on the cross, the Hell we deserve so that we could experience for eternity the Heaven we don't deserve! The Only Two Options There are two possible destinations when we die--Heaven or Hell. Can we really know in advance where we'll go? John, one of the writers of the Bible, said this: "I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God that you may know that you have eternal life" (1 John 5:13). We can know for sure that we'll go to Heaven when we die. Do you? To sin means to fall short of God's holy standards. Sin is what ended Eden's paradise. And all of us, like Adam and Eve, are sinners. "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23). Sin separates us from a relationship with God (Isaiah 59:2). Sin deceives us and makes us think that wrong is right and right is wrong (Proverbs 14:12). Sin has terrible consequences, but God has provided a solution: "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 6:23). Jesus Christ, the Son of God, loved us so much that he became a man to deliver us from our sin. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16). He came to identify with us in our humanity and our weakness, but he did so without being tainted by our sin, self-deception, and moral failings (Hebrews 4:15-16). Jesus died on the cross as the only one worthy to pay the penalty for our sins demanded by the holiness of God: "For our sake he [God] made him [Jesus] to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God" (2 Corinthians 5:21). But God raised Jesus from the grave, defeating sin's consequences and conquering death (1 Corinthians 15:3-4, 54-57). When Christ died on the cross for us, he said, "It is finished" (John 19:30). In those times "It is finished" was commonly written across certificates of debt when they were canceled. It meant "Paid in full." Christ died so that the certificate of debt, consisting of all our sins, could once and for all be marked "Paid in full." The Critical Decision Only when our sins are dealt with in Christ can we enter Heaven. We cannot pay our own way. Jesus said "No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6). "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:12). Because of Jesus Christ's sacrificial death on the cross on our behalf, God freely offers us forgiveness. To be forgiven, we must recognize and repent of our sins. Forgiveness is not automatic. It's conditioned upon confession: "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9). Christ offers to everyone the gifts of forgiveness, salvation, and eternal life. "Let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price" (Revelation 22:17). There's no righteous deed we can do that will earn us a place in Heaven (Titus 3:5). We come to Christ empty-handed. We can take no credit for salvation. "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast" (Ephesians 2:8-9). This gift cannot be worked for, earned, or achieved. It's dependent solely on Christ's generous sacrifice on our behalf. Now is the time to make things right with God. Confess your sinfulness and accept the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on your behalf. You are made for a person and a place. Jesus is the person, and Heaven is the place. They are a package--they come together. You cannot get Heaven without Jesus or Jesus without Heaven. "Seek the Lord while he may be found; call upon him while he is near" (Isaiah 55:6). For all eternity you'll be glad you did. If you understand what God has done to make forgiveness and eternal life possible for you, you may want to express it in words like these: "Dear Lord, I confess that I do not measure up to your perfect standard. Thank you for sending Jesus to die for my sins. I now place my trust in him as my Savior. Thank you for your forgiveness and the gift of eternal life."

Download or read book Jesus the Bridegroom written by Phillip J. Long and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2013-11-06 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Did Jesus claim to be the "bridegroom"? If so, what did he mean by this claim? When Jesus says that the wedding guests should not fast "while the bridegroom is with them" (Mark 2:19), he is claiming to be a bridegroom by intentionally alluding to a rich tradition from the Hebrew Bible. By eating and drinking with "tax collectors and other sinners," Jesus was inviting people to join him in celebrating the eschatological banquet. While there is no single text in the Hebrew Bible or the literature of the Second Temple Period which states the "messiah is like a bridegroom," the elements for such a claim are present in several texts in Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Hosea. By claiming that his ministry was an ongoing wedding celebration he signaled the end of the Exile and the restoration of Israel to her position as the Lord's beloved wife. This book argues that Jesus combined the tradition of an eschatological banquet with a marriage metaphor in order to describe the end of the Exile as a wedding banquet.
