<div class="SSN_title">"THE RAPTURE"</div>
<div class="SSN_intro">Intro: In as much as there are many voiced beginning to say, "The Lord delayeth His coming." I felt impressed to once again review the scriptures relative to the "catching up" or the rapture of the Church.</div>
<div class="SSN_rnum">I. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE RAPTURE AND THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS CHRIST.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">A. At the rapture He is coming for His saints.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. <a onClick="return mV('Jhn',14,3);">John 14:3</A> "I will come again and receive you unto myself that where I am there..."</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. <a onClick="return mV('1Cr',15,51);">I Cor.15:51</A> "I shew you a mystery."</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">3. <a onClick="return mV('1Jo',3,2);"> I John 3:2</A> "Beloved now are we the Sons of God, but..."</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">4. <a onClick="return mV('Phl',3,20);">Phil.3:20</A> "For our citizenship..."</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">B. The second coming, He is coming with His saints.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. <a onClick="return mV('Col',3,4);">Col 3:4</A> "And when Christ who is our life shall appear </div>
<div class="SSN_level4">then shall we also appear with Him in glory."</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. <a onClick="return mV('Jud',1,14);">Jude 14</A> "The Lord cometh with 10 thousands of His</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">saints."</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">3. <a onClick="return mV('Rev',19,14);">Rev. 19:14</a> speaks of the armies that came with Him.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">C. The rapture of the Church is imminent.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. <a onClick="return mV('Mar',13,32);">Mar 13:32</A>, <a onClick="return mV('Mat',24,36);"> Matt 24:36</A> "But of that day or hour knoweth no man."</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. <a onClick="return mV('Mat',24,42);">Matt 24:42</A> "Watch ye therefore for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come."</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">D. The second-coming must follow the Great Tribulation.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. The anti-Christ must first appear.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. The day of the second coming can be reckoned from the day the</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">anti-Christ causes the daily sacrifices and oblations to cease.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">1,290 days.</div>
<div class="SSN_rnum">II. WILL THE CHURCH GO THROUGH THE GREAT TRIBULATION?</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">A. Difference between tribulation "In this world."</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Origin.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Satan.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. God.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. Objects. a. The church. b. Those which obeyed not the truth.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">B. Why some people believe the church will.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. <a onClick="return mV('Mat',24,30);">Matt. 24:30</a>,<a onClick="return mV('Mat',24,31);">31</a>.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Gather His elect from the four winds.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. His elect refers here to the Jews as He has been addressing them in Chapt.24 "Pray that your flight be not in winter or Sabbath day." Abomination of desolations.</div>

<div class="SSN_level3">2. <a onClick="return mV('Luk',21,36);">Luke 21:36</a> "Watch ye therefore and pray always that ye may be accounted worthy to escape..." and to stand before the Son of Man.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">3. To the unfaithful church, He warned <a onClick="return mV('Rev',2,20);">Rev. 2:20</a>.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">4. <a onClick="return mV('1Th',5,9);">I Thess.5:9</A> "For God hath not appointed us unto wrath, but to obtain salvation..."</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">5. <a onClick="return mV('2Pe',2,9);">II Peter 2:9</a> "For the Lord knoweth . . . "</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">D. The order of the Book of Revelation.</div>
<div class="SSN_notes">Those that would say: "The Lord delayeth His coming" are called "evil servants" by our Lord Jesus Christ. They would have you preparing for the Tribulation instead of preparing for our Lord. They would rather have you watching for the antichrist instead of watching for our Lord Jesus Christ. There is not a single prophesy remaining to be fulfilled before the catching of the Church. Jesus said, "Watch ye therefore." Jesus said, "Be ye ready." Are you watching? Are you ready?</div>
