There will be another time of people disappearing from the face of the earth. The Lord Jesus will return to take His children home, we call this The Rapture of the Church. There will be meals left cooking on the stoves, shoppers disappear in the stores, drivers of vehicles vanish, babies taken out of their strollers, highchairs and even the wombs, utter chaos around the world.
The confusion of the Malaysian plane has hit the news big, which it should. It had 239 people on board, now missing. The mass millions of Christians missing will be confusion like mankind has never seen, except for those that are caught up in the air.
1Thessalonians 4:16-17 "For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord" assures us of the promise of His return.
The searching for the passengers and the plane will continue in the next weeks, days and months, until something is found. But the day of the rapture, many will know, because they have heard this spoken of by parents and pastors through the ages, but did not believe.
When flying on a plane, we know the 'risks' of a crash, they give you the safety tips prior to take-off and you can always review the card in front of you. As Christians, we hear the Word preached and can always read the scriptures and hear about the signs of the end times. According to the scriptures and everything I believe, as well as many scholars, there is nothing else to be fulfilled before the return of Christ and the Rapture. It is like, ok folks, it is time to buckle up, get out your floatation device, we are going down...but instead of down, we are to look up..because that is where we are going.
Luke 21:27-28 "Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a great cloud with power and great glory. But when these things begin to take place, straighten up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near."
The question remains, where are those that are missing? What about the ones left behind? I don't have the answers for the plane's passengers and crew. Neither do I have the answers for how the families and friends of those missing will handle and endure the heartache. But I do know about those that will be raptured by the Son of Man, for they will be getting ready for the Feast in Heaven, celebrating around the Throne. Those that remain, because of unbelief ....need to prepare for a great tribulation.
If you are reading this blog, your name was not on the roster for flight #370. But, you could be reading this blog and your name is not written in the Book of Life, which is those that have repented, accepted and believed in the Son, Jesus Christ. One flight you were not on, but the next, you want to make sure not to miss.
If you have any questions or do not know Jesus, please contact me for more information. The main thing to know is that He loved you so much, He gave His life for you. (John 3:16) It is easy to know Him. Pray, repenting of your sin, (we all are sinners) and ask His forgiveness. Ask Him to become Lord and Savior of your life. He will write your name in the Book of Life, seal it with His blood. You are ready to fly!
If you do this for the first time, please write to us at gingersanders.com and let us know. If you have prayed to receive Christ already, we will meet you in the air or around the Throne.
Buckle up and look up! He is coming!
Blessings,
