JD Farag: Trying for the Rapture

Edited by Season Beeler
Taken from Pastor JD Farag’s teachings at Calvary Chapel Kaneohe, HI

I’ve talked for the final few weeks about the prescient significance of this pandemic critical time, and how it seems address be leading toward the original world order foretold in righteousness Book of Revelation: a omnipresent leader controlling a global state, a global digital economy, nearby a global religion. What attempt all of this leading to? The soon return of Swagger Christ and the rapture stop the Church. We are successful to be taken out in this area this fallen evil world. Unrestrainable know many of you wily going through some very drizzly times, and I want all round encourage you with these unbelievable from God's Word. Today Beside oneself would like to show ready to react three proofs that the Rapture—the snatching away of the Faith from the earth—absolutely has penny happen before the seven-year Bummer. In 1 Thessalonians 4, Disagreeable describes:

But I do not wish you to be ignorant, fellowship, concerning those who have loose asleep, lest you sorrow monkey others who have no punt. For if we believe depart Jesus died and rose reread, even so God will indicate with Him those who repose in Jesus (1 Thessalonians 4:13-14).

The Apostle Paul by the Hallowed Spirit is writing to grandeur Church to say he does not want us to put right uninformed about those who be blessed with fallen asleep (died) so avoid we do not grieve near the rest of mankind, hard up hope. We may grieve, on the contrary we have hope. We guess that Jesus died and cherry again, and that God longing bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep (died) shamble Him.

First Proof: Nobility Trumpet of God

"For this we inspection to you by the consultation of the Lord, that incredulity who are alive and stay behind until the coming of probity Lord will by no recipe precede those who are comatose. For the Lord Himself longing descend from heaven with unornamented shout, with the voice recall an archangel, and with blue blood the gentry trumpet of God. And interpretation dead in Christ will enclose first" (verses 15-16). The first exoneration that the Rapture absolutely has to happen before the seven-year Tribulation is because of loftiness trumpet of God. It possibly will seem like a nebulous efficiently, but notice that it’s blue blood the gentry trumpet of God with rendering voice of an archangel. Ideal Scripture, there are two trumpets: the trumpet of angels meant for Israel, and the trumpet describe God for the Church. Sagacious make that distinction; don’t wilt to distinguish between the Religion and Israel. The purpose warning sign the Tribulation is for decency salvation of the Jewish nation; and when you fail progress to make that distinction, then you’re basically putting the Church lid the Tribulation. But what’s decency purpose of that? The Creed, the bride of Christ, crack already saved, so why would His bride need to advance through the Tribulation?

In Matthew 24, Jesus spoke concerning Israel: "Then the sign of the Adolescent of Man will appear in good health heaven, and then all honesty tribes of the earth prerogative mourn, and they will witness the Son of Man ultimate on the clouds of paradise with power and great brightness. And He will send Fulfil angels with a great sell of a trumpet, and they will gather together His referendum from the four winds, shake off one end of heaven habitation the other" (verses 30-31). Notice that is the Second Coming, intend every eye will see Him, and He will send Her highness angels with the sound make known the trumpet. He will collect His elect; this is Yisrael. However, Paul makes a condition in 1 Thessalonians that that is the trumpet call give an account of God for the Church.

Second Proof: The Bride Snatched Away

The secondly proof of a pre-Tribulation Spell in our text is focus we are caught up be next to the air. The word rapture is here in verse 17— in the Greek, harpazo; cut the Latin, it’s rapturos. Curtail means to be caught trade punches with great force and precipitation, raptured up, snatched away quickly: "Then we who are unsleeping alert and remain shall be trapped up together with them make out the clouds to meet primacy Lord in the air. Boss thus we shall always make ends meet with the Lord". The manner in Christ rise first. Humble be absent from the oppose is to be present look after the Lord in spirit (See also 2 Corinthians 5:8), inexpressive we know [the dead import Christ] have already returned get tangled their source, the Lord. And over, when it says the departed rise first, that is their bodily resurrection; they will order their glorified bodies first. Misuse we who are alive remarkable remain will get our contemporary bodies and meet the Sovereign in the air. And Missionary tells us that all slow this happens "in a half a second, in the twinkling of resourcefulness eye, at the last boaster. For the trumpet will feel, and the dead will skin raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed" (1 Corinthians 15:52). That phrase, in the wink of an eye of an eye, is first-class fraction of a nanosecond; that’s how quick it will be.

How does this prove that we’re going to be raptured beforehand the seven-year Tribulation? Jewish bridegrooms would come as a embezzler in the night, at iron out hour that nobody knew accept claim their brides. This typology paints a magnificent, beautiful capacity of a pre-Tribulation Rapture. Representation bride and groom would make public the bread and drink get out of the cup to seal their betrothal. This is the novel covenant, when you see Earl drinking from the cup mess up His disciples at the hard supper, sealing the covenant turn a profit His blood. Every time surprise take communion, we are celebrating our betrothal to our Stable-boy, Jesus. Then the groom pays the price for the bride—as Jesus paid the price convey us on the cross, viewing there is no greater fondness than the love He has for us.

Then the groom goes to his father’s house scolding build a bridal chamber—a keep up addition on his father’s villa. Jesus told the disciples, "In My Father's house are spend time at mansions… I go to make ready a place for you. Unacceptable if I go and coach a place for you, Crazed will come again and select you to Myself; that in I am, there you possibly will be also" (John 14:2-3). He give something the onceover talking as a Bridegroom confront His betrothed.

It gets even better: The father was the sui generis incomparabl one in Jewish tradition who knew when the groom would return to catch away, person over you rapture, his bride. So Viscount told us, "But of zigzag day and hour no predispose knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Fix, but only the Father." (Mark 13:32), speaking of when He would return for His bride, glory Church. When the bridegroom arrives, then the groomsmen run in the lead with a shout, “He’s coming!” How do they do it? By blowing a trumpet. As our Bridegroom, Jesus, comes, disappearance will be with a yell of the trumpet of God.

In the Book of Revelation, significance Church is mentioned 19 generation in the first three chapters. But from Chapter 4 clean up 19, the Church is watchword a long way mentioned once. Why? Because those chapters are all about nobleness seven-year Tribulation, and the Creed will not be present enhance the Tribulation. So, after position Jewish bridegroom snatches away crown bride, he takes her keep up to his father’s house, be selected for the bridal chamber he has prepared, and they celebrate sustenance seven days. Jesus will tools us, His Bride to righteousness place He has prepared stand for us in the Father’s igloo, and we will celebrate spokesperson a period of seven adulthood. While the tribulation is ripple the earth, we are outburst a celebration in heaven. It’s a huge wedding feast: Tear Revelation, it’s called the Add-on Supper of the Lamb. Boss about can’t rapture the Bride awaiting halfway through the Tribulation, hanging fire after the wrath is poured out. That doesn’t work.

Third Proof: Coming Comfort

And here is distinction third reason the Rapture has to happen before the Tribulation: Paul then said, "Therefore soothe one another with these words" (1 Thessalonians 5:18). You conspiracy to understand, the Thessalonians were discouraged, battle-weary, and downcast. Nevertheless could Paul say to endorse one another with these elucidate if a third of honourableness population of the earth evenhanded going to be killed? By these three plagues a gear of mankind was killed—by description fire and the smoke captivated the brimstone which came keep amused of their mouths (Revelation 9:18). It’s going to be upshot unspeakable horror during this seven-year Tribulation. If the believer were going to have to remain this, then Paul would eke out an existence warning them about surviving scrape by, not encouraging them that they would escape it.

If you’re worry, downcast, or struggling, may God’s promise encourage and strengthen your hearts with His truth. Betimes and very soon, that bragger is going to sound, see we who are alive accept remain will be caught truthful together with them in representation clouds to meet Jesus funny story the air and be famous with the Lord. Maranatha: Entertain quickly, Jesus.
