Hello, Everyone!

I need to be totally serious with you today.
I feel there might be information you're seeking, so I thought I'd help you.

The Bible talks about Christ's return to earth (His second coming), and also of the believer's return with Him:
(Rev 19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he [Christ] that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. -Rev 19:14 And the armies which were in heaven followed Him [Christ] upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.)

Now, you can see how presently, all the prophetic signs are casting their shadows.
You can see the signs the Bible mentions, of how things will be in the times of the end, already happening all over the world.
They are all beginning to be fulfilled. Imagine! The prophecies that take place after we're gone in the Rapture, and which indicate that we will return with Him, are already beginning.
If the signs indicate that we will be returning with Jesus soon, and we are still on earth, how very, very soon must the Rapture then occur to take us out of this earth so that, seven years later, we can return with Him!

As I've just stated, these signs that are to be totally fulfilled after we're gone, are already transpiring. We see them before our eyes everyday in world events! The Bible tells us that you & I will return with Jesus; However we must first go home by way of the Rapture in order to return soon. You can clearly see how this event is right at the door!
-After the Rapture will be The Wedding (Marriage) in Heaven between the Lamb (Christ) and His bride (Christians), and the Marriage Supper.
Rev 19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to Him [ God ]: for the marriage of the Lamb [Jesus Christ ] is come, and his wife [ the Body of Christ, the saints, collectively sometimes called The Church, Christ's congregation ] hath made herself ready.
Rev 19:8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
Rev 19:9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.•

There is no way that our Bridegroom (the Dear Lord Jesus Christ) would want His spouse to go through the wrath of the tribulation!

This is 1 Thessalonians 1:10- ( and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, that is Jesus, who rescues us from the wrath to come.)
This is Nahum 1:2- (God is jealous, and the LORD revengeth; the LORD revengeth, and is furious; the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and He reserveth wrath for his enemies.)

Unless we are enemies of God, He isn't reserving His wrath for us, we don't have to worry.

When I read Matthew, Chapter 22, I think this is a picture of our soon to be marriage supper in Heaven, and Jesus is talking: (but please remember that the words in parentheses are my interpretations of the situation as it's happening.)

¹ Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying: ² “The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son. ³ He sent his servants to those who had been invited to the banquet to tell them to come, but they refused to come.
⁴ “Then he sent some more servants and said, ‘Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner: My oxen and fattened cattle have been butchered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’
⁵ “But they paid no attention and went off—one to his field, another to his business. ⁶ The rest seized his servants, mistreated them and killed them. ⁷ The king was enraged. He sent his army and destroyed those murderers and burned their city.
(The way I see it, first the Jews were invited, but they didn't believe that Jesus Christ was their Messiah, so He invited the Gentiles and all who would accept His Gift of grace.)

⁸ “Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited did not deserve to come. ⁹ So go to the street corners and invite to the banquet anyone you find.’ ¹⁰ So the servants went out into the streets and gathered all the people they could find, the bad as well as the good, (Gentile and Jewish believers alike) and the wedding hall was filled with guests.
¹¹ “But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes. (this person wasn't a believer) ¹² He asked, ‘How did you get in here without wedding clothes, friend?’ The man was speechless.
¹³ “Then the king told the attendants, ‘Tie him hand and foot, and throw him outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ (you know where he was thrown. That's self- explanatory)

¹⁴ “For many are invited, but few are chosen.”
(His gift of grace is available to all. They just have to accept His gift, many won't, some say they'll ask Him for forgiveness when they hear the trumpet. This will happen in the twinkling of an eye. Now, a blink is calculated to be 11/100ths of a second. A half-blink becomes the twinkling of an eye. I don't think they'll have enough time. Do you? )

You can see how our Lord and Bridegroom, Jesus Christ, out of the love that He has for us, died on the cross so painfully that we can't even comprehend all the pain He endured for us;
how could we think that He would want us, His bride whom He died for, to be battered, bruised and beaten? -from Matthew 24:21 we read: -For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And then, after suffering through the tribulation, He'd tell us, "come up hither?"
Well that doesn't make sense! He told us from Deuteronomy 31:6 that He will 'never leave us nor forsake us'. •

I hope my words help you in your understanding of the things to come. I want you to have, always, a close walk with God, so that when you see Him face to face, you'll say, "I never quit watching for You!" (He loves us so much.)

If you haven't already, please talk with the Lord Jesus Christ and tell Him you accept His gift that he gave you on the cross at Calvary.
Remember that He knew you before you were born, He created you; He knows every sin we've ever, or will in the future commit, and He paid for every one already!
He has shed His Precious blood for us, we cannot let that have been in vain.

Blessings to you always, yours in Christ, Reverend Debbie ♥
