The
disciples have asked Jesus:
“What will be the sign of your coming?”
“What will be the sign of your coming?”
Yes, the generation
- alive today - that sees Israel revive after 14th May 1948... WILL
see a sign that the Messiah is coming. (Matt
24:36-42)
Whatever will it be?
People will
be carrying on with their lives – eating, drinking, going to weddings...all of
a sudden...some people will disappear!
Yes,
it will be very decisive - some will be taken, while others will be left behind.
It is often claimed that those taken away will be headed for judgment but hang
on a minute...
In the example Jesus gave, who was taken away in the ark?...Noah and his family – after being invited by God to come into the ark.
Who
was left behind in the Great Flood?...those for judgment!  |

‘Taken’ comes from paralambano: to take alongside to oneself; whereas ‘left’ comes from ‘aphiemi’: abandon/forsake)
It will be the disappearance of many people that will alert this generation that Jesus Christ comes soon.
“By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house, by the which he condemned the world...”
If
you must fit the Church into Matthew 24, this is where – the miraculous rapture.
Blink and it’s history!
