Everyday souls step into eternity UNEXPECTEDLY–if they were pursuing CHRIST, repentant, and WATCHING FOR THE LORD’S RETURN–then their UNEXPECTED meeting with GOD will have gone well–if they are ignoring GOD….listening to false words that the rapture has been delayed or there is no rapture THEN THERE IS NO REASON TO WATCH for the LORD–why would you watch for something that HAS BEEN DELAYED OR DOESN’T EXIST AT ALL? But the Bible OVER AND OVER says to WATCH–clearly not just for the rapture but UNEXPECTED MEETINGS WITH GOD that have ETERNAL CONSEQUENCES–the lukewarm church has chosen to pursue people who tell them the LORD’s RETURN HAS BEEN DELAYED or WORSE–DOES NOT EXIST because this tickles their ears….SHAME ON THOSE WHO PROPAGATE SUCH LIES TO SEND PEOPLE BACK TO THE WORLD LIKE LOT’S WIFE AND ULTIMATELY UNPREPARED FOR UNEXPECTED MEETINGS WITH GOD. If you think the scripture has been altered to accommodate these false words–you would be wrong–the Bible is CLEAR–YOU ARE COMMANDED BY GOD TO WATCH–that means THERE ARE NO DELAYS AND THERE IS SOMETHING TO WATCH FOR:
Matthew 24:42 (KJV): Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
Matthew 25:13 (KJV): Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
Mark 13:28-33 (KJV): 28 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near: 29 So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors. 30 Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done. 31 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. 32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. 33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.
Mark 13:34 (KJV): For the Son of Man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.
Mark 13:35 (KJV): Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:
Mark 13:37 (KJV): And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
Luke 12:37 (KJV): Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.
Luke 12:39 (KJV): And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.
Luke 21:36 (KJV): Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
1 Thessalonians 5:1-7 (KJV): But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. 2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 3 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. 4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. 5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. 6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. 7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
Revelation 3:2-5 (KJV): 2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God. 3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee. 4 Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy. 5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
