HOW TO KNOW YOU WILL MISS, “THE GREAT TRIBULATION” - Joseph Chambers - www.pawcreek.org
A MULTITUDE IS GOING TO SUDDENLY REALIZE, “I HAVE MISSED THE RAPTURE.” You will be frightened beyond insanity. “THE DOUBLE MINDED CHURCH WORLD IS JUST NOT READY” One of the most powerful Scriptures in the Holy Bible warning us of people missing the Rapture is Matthew Chapter Twenty-Five. These are the words of Jesus Christ and there is only one Marriage Supper in the Word of God.
The five foolish virgins were unprepared to go with the Lord because they were “DOUBLE-MINDED.” “And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.” (Matthew 25:8-10)
“Foolish” virgins are virgins that are religious and decent people. They live clean and love many things of truth but they are unsettled and undisciplined in walking after the ways of God. In other words they have never abandoned themselves to taking up the cross, denying themselves and following wholly after the Lord. In Revelation, Jesus said they were lukewarm. “So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.” (Revelation 3:16)
James talked about the “double-minded state of nonspiritual people. “For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.” (James 1:7-8) The church world has never been so full of “double-minded people.” Their Christian walk is up today and down tomorrow. They appear religious unless it’s a bad day or someone angers them. They move from church to church or from one marriage to another marriage. Nothing is an absolute to them. But it is absolute that they will miss the Rapture and be left for the “Seven Years of the Great Tribulation.” Jesus said it and that settles it. •
