After few days of inavtivity on end time hub, now we are back by His Grace. Many events has happened, but we will be starting with our continuation on the Rapture series. And at the end of this teaching, we are going to post the end time news and events video of August 1st with some other news screen shots.
In our two previous teachings on this rapture series, we've been able to look at what rapture is, what the Bible reveals about it and numbers of rapture that has happen before. So, having laid this foundation, its time to move forward.
And the question that will be burning in the heart of a wise&sincere child of God is who will go up in the rapture and who will miss it? But a foolish Christian will quickly jump to a conclusion, that day will tell... But, it will be too late, that will caught him up unaware, and such will go into the great tribulation and suffer in the hand of the Antichrist. Just like the people in the days of Noah and lot, they never knew until that day came and caught them unaware, and Jesus says so it shall be in our days.
Now, it will be impossible to understand this topic, until we are abke to see the different orders in the church of God, just like we have different orders among the angels, the cherubim, Seraphim, Guardian angels, etc
DIFFERENT ORDERS IN THE CHURCH OF GOD
By now, i expect that we should know that when we talk about the church, the church of God is the carrier of His Glory, i mean a true born again christians make up the church of God, it's not the buildings nor the structures we are seeing all over the world, not all these 30000, 50000 or 100000 capacity, it doesn't matter how beautiful the church is because all of them will end up in the fire at Armageddon (why wasting money, turning ministry into mansions building business and competition all over the land).
We can also say the church of God is the body of Christ, which is you and i, where Christ is the head, the headstone or cornerstone or capstone... Christ is the Stone that cap His church. Not your Pastor or Bishop or even Pope.
Over the years, many have always make this mistake, they say a christian is the same thing as the bride of Christ, this is not true, not every born again christian will turn out to be Bride of Christ, we will see now in the scriptures... Matthew 25 and Revelation 12 reveals the Truth on this.
Matthew 25:1 - 13 KJV
Matthew 25 is a prophetic parable, where Jesus reveals to His disciple how the rapture will take place. It's a parable, so it will take the Holy Spirit himself to reveal the truth, and i believe He will do that.
Matthew 25:1
[1]Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
Now we have 10 virgins, Ten signify completeness, and virgin symbolize pure, holy, undefile etc. So these 10 virgins are true born again Christians.
Matthew 25:1-4
[2]And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
[3]They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
[4]But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
Verse 2-4 reveals that five were foolish and five were wise.
Five is the number of Grace, so by Grace, five of these 10 christians were foolish while five were wise by grace too.
But we see what makes the wise wise and what make the foolish foolish. Its their actions that differentiate them.
So also in this end of time, its your actions and atyitude to the 100% Word of God that will determine your place in the Christendom.
Matthew 25:6
[6]And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
Verse 6 reveals a cry was made at the darkest and zero hour, meaning there is another group, these were evidently the one that do not slept, they were awake, and they were able to wake up the wise and follish ones that have sleot off (read verse 7).
Matthew 25:10
[10]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.
Verse 10 reveals that "only those who were ready" went in (through the Rapture) with the Bridegroom to the marriage (marriage supper of the Lamb).
Evidently, it is only the wise and the midnight criers that went in with the bridegroom and the door was shot at the folish virgins to face the freat tribulation under the rule of the satan incarnate man.
Now, from Matthew 25 reveals , we can't call the foolish virgins the Bride of Christ, though they were born again Christian but they miss the rapture and the marriage. There is no bride thay miss her wedding. It is the wise virgins and the midnight criers that were raptured and went in to the marriage that are the Bride of Christ...
What I'm i saying?
The foolish virgins are true Christian, they are part of Church of God, but they are not part of the Bride of Christ because they miss the rapture and the marriage supper of the lamb.
Matthew 25 reveals more than this but we will go deeper in our next article when we shall see why the foolish virgins miss the rapture.
Revelation 12
Recently, Rev. 12 has become a popular scripture, just because of the sign that has been attached to it by some groups of Christians and the astrologers, they call it great sign. Infact some Christians are so curious to know the truth about this matter, i will try my best to explain but not now. We have to finish this topic first...
Revelation 12:1
[1]And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
This sun clothed woman represent the true church of God of all ages, it also represent the call out ones in all the church ages, jews and gentiles. The sun and the moon is a symbol of annointing and Revelation respectively.
Revelation 12:2,5
[2]And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
[5]And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.
Now, the woman give birth to a manchild and the manchild was caught up (raptured or translated) unto God and his throne.
Now, linking this up with Matthew 25, its the wise virgin and the midnight criers that make up the manchild group, and this manchild is the Bride of Christ.
Revelation 12:17
[17]And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Evidently the Dragon is Satan, after missing the manchild and the woman, he begin to persecute the remnant of the woman seed (and this remnant were the foolish virgins that missed the rapture).
God church is like a wheel within a wheel, and everuone must fall into his/herwon lot by the actions we take.
Now having understood that we have different orders in the church of God, we have
*the midnight criers
*the wise virgins
*the foolish virgins,
And we see that not all of them were actually bride of Christ as many claims, because the foolish ones miss the rapture and never partook in the marriage supper.
The next question i will be answering now in our next teaching is why did some make it in the rapture and why did some miss it?
Stay connected.
