Luke 17:30 KJV
Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of
man is revealed.
There have been
any number of paintings and other sorts of graphics used to depict what it
might be like when Jesus raptures the saints to heaven:
- Planes falling from
the sky, their pilots raptured
- Car wrecks on the
freeways, drivers raptured
- The skies filled with
those saints being raptured and resurrected
One song,
attempting to describe the rapture should it happen on a Sunday morning, says
"In the church near valley station, there's less than half the congregation[1]" implying that more
than half were saved. But if Jesus' description is accurate it is very
likely that when the rapture happens it will not be millions and millions
raptured but a comparative few. There would conceivably be fewer missing church
(should the rapture happen on a Sunday) because of the rapture than are
generally gone because of a common cold.
This might
account for the almost oblivious attitude of those remaining on the earth after
the rapture; they won't be shocked because there is not a shocking amount
missing.
As we draw
nearer to the end we tend to make more people feel like they are saved while
seeing fewer and fewer who are genuinely converted.
- More people profess
Christianity fewer people possess Christ
- More people play
church while fewer people come out of this world
These are
serious times. Who knows all of the reasons people had for not heeding the
warnings of Noah, but only eight out of possibly billions of people were saved
back then.
What if only
eight people in our world right now are really saved?
Are you one of
them?
