RAPTURE
What has too happen prophetically in order for the rapture take place?
What has too happen prophetically in order for the rapture take place?
(1Co 15:51-54) Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but
we shall all be changed, 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. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on
incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall
be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in
victory.
(1Th 4:13-17) But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as
others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall
descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and
so shall we ever be with the Lord.
2ND COMING
(Mat 24:3) And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him
privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of
thy coming, and of the end of the world?
(1Th 5:1-9) But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say,
Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we
are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and
love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus
Christ,

II. The SHAKING of our minds
(2Th 2:1) Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our
gathering together unto him,
(2Th 2:2) That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word,
nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
(1Th 5:14) Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support
the weak, be patient toward all men.
(Heb 12:3-5) For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin. And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when
thou art rebuked of him:
(2Ti 1:7) For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of
love, and of a sound mind.
(1Pe 1:13) Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end
for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
(Rom 12:1-2) I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your
reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that
ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
(Eph 4:20-23) But ye have not so learned Christ; If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in
Jesus: That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt
according to the deceitful lusts; And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
(Php 2:5) Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
(1Co 2:16) For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may
instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

III. The SYSTEM of the enemy
(2Th 2:1) Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our
gathering together unto him,
(2Th 2:2) That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word,
nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
(1Jn 4:1) Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they
are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
(2Th 2:1) Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our
gathering together unto him,
(2Th 2:2) That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word,
nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
(Jud 1:12) These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit
withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
(Jud 1:16) These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling
words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.
(Jud 1:17) But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
(Jud 1:12) These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit
withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
(Jud 1:16) These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling
words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.
(Jud 1:17) But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
(2Pe 2:3) And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose
judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
(2Pe 2:18) For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from
them who live in error.
(1Co 2:1-4) And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom,
declaring unto you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much
trembling. And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in
demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
(2Th 2:1) Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our
gathering together unto him,
(2Th 2:2) That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word,
nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
(Gal 6:11) Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine
own hand.
(2Co 2:17) For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the
sight of God speak we in Christ.
(2Pe 3:16) As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be
understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their
own destruction.
(2Pe 3:17) Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
