For years, I keep having these visions in my head of a sudden and terrible earthquake happening with a brief moment of total terror before instantly being Raptured and taken up.
I'm not dead set on the idea of a pre-trib rapture and I'm still trying to do more research and learn about the topic. It definitely makes sense for Christians to have to endure persecution through Tribulation and the time of the Antichrist.
However, I just can't get this image out of my head. I can almost feel it as if it is my destiny and just something yet to happen. Suddenly a frightening earthquake begins and in that brief moment of feeling the panic that doom is upon us, the believers are just suddenly taken up as if waking up from a nightmare at the last minute.
This isn't even wishful thinking on my part because I've pretty much accepted that, if I live to that point, I would probably have to face getting my head chopped off under the Antichrist's reign at some point. But I just can't shake that massive earthquake/Rapture moment vision from my mind.
Anybody else have similar dreams or visions about this scenario?
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 30671160 I have my dreams just like everybody else but mostly they include something that happens in the sky.
I know how you feel about researching the rapture because I've done that for years. The matter is settled now (for me) because I did not not give up searching.
It is not a small thing to dismiss away.
The 10 virgins who had their lamps... waiting for the Bridegroom, 5 had oil in their lamps (and extra just in case) and the other 5 had their lamps run out and had no extra oil so.. they ran back to get some.... too late.. they could not enter in to the wedding. They pounded on the door, "Let us in!". But the door was SHUT.
The door was closed to them. Then the Bridegroom said, "Truly I tell you, I do not know you."
Two women grinding wheat at the mill.. 1 will be taken the other left.
Two men sleeping... 1 will be taken the other left.
Those are a few of the scriptures that depict our time right now, in this world.
Some people who call themselves Christians will be shocked to learn that the door will be closed to them
They went to church, did lots of good things and nobody would suspect that they were rejected by Jesus. He will tell them, "I never knew you."
The 5 wise virgins were the ones who surrendered their lives to the Lord Jesus, every thought was brought into captivity and they learned to walk in The Word.
Abiding in Christ is how they lived their lives and their repentance was deep and thorough. They'd become born again and obeyed what Jesus taught.
They'd been waiting for Him and had overcome the world with the Holy Spirit enabling them to walk worthy in His Name.
The other thing that helped me to be convinced of the rapture was seeing Christian preppers on Youtube and their desires to stay here, and fight off the hoards that will want their food etc.
I learned that it is ALL or NOTHING.
You either trust in Jesus or you don't.
No middle ground.
Everybody has to make that decision.
But for mockers of and the unbelievers they are doomed so they really have already made their choice.
It is almost too late to get "more oil for lamps" because it takes time and hard work to study the bible and know the Word. Really KNOW The WORD.
What I mean, is to walk and abide in Jesus, the WAY TRUTH & LIFE
