" The Homegoing of the Bride of CHRIST - COMFORT ONE ANOTHER "

    The Homegoing of the Bride of CHRIST,  when JESUS comes back for HIS Bride, the church; those who are alive and have been TRULY Born Again by the WORD and the SPIRIT will be taken up into the clouds by the LORD along with those who have died in CHRIST; we will not all die before this happens but we will all be changed at the time it happens. Currently in GOD's timeline, there is nothing that needs to happen except that " last "  soul that will come to HIM, by faith and complete the church, the LORD's Bride.

      But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep(died in CHRIST), lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. For if we believe that JESUS died and rose again, even so GOD will bring with HIM those who sleep(died)in JESUS. For this we say to you by the WORD of the LORD, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the LORD will by no means precede those who are asleep(dead in CHRIST).  For the LORD HIMSELF will descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of GOD. And the dead in CHRIST will rise(their bodies will be changed and reunited with their soul that the LORD brings with HIM from Heaven)first.  Then we who are alive and remain shall be " caught up "(Raptured)together with them in the clouds(JESUS does not come to the earth, just in the clouds), to meet the LORD in the air. And thus we shall always be with the LORD.

Therefore, COMFORT ONE ANOTHER WITH THESE WORDS.

      But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you.  For you yourselves know perfectly that the Day of the LORD so comes as a thief in the night.  For when they say, " Peace and safety ! " then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape.  But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief.  You are all sons of the light(True Born Again Believers)and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.  Therefore let us not sleep, as others do but let us watch and be sober(self-controlled).  For those who sleep, sleep as night and those who get drunk are drunk at night.  But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of Salvation.  FOR GOD  DID  NOT  APPOINT  US  TO  WRATH(the Tribulation period), but to obtain Salvation through our LORD JESUS CHRIST, WHO died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with HIM.  Therefore COMFORT EACH OTHER and EDIFY ONE ANOTHER, just as you are also doing. 

1st. Thessalonians 4:13 - 5:11

      Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our LORD JESUS CHRIST and our gathering together to HIM, we ask you, not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of CHRIST had come.  Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will NOT come unless the falling away comes first(the Apostasy or turning away) and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called GOD or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God showing himself that he is God.

Do you remember that when I was still with you, I told you these things ?  And now you know what is restraining(the church the LORD's Bride is still here) that he(the son of perdition) may be revealed in his own time.

      For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work(Satan is very active);  only HE WHO now restrains will do so until HE is taken out of the way(when the Bride of CHRIST is taken, so too will the HOLY SPIRIT).  And then the lawless one will be revealed whom the LORD will consume with the breath of HIS mouth and destroy with the brightness of HIS coming.  The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the TRUTH,(*those who have heard the Gospel of Salvation and rejected it), that they might be saved.  And for this reason GOD will send *them strong delusion that *they should believe the lie, that *they all may be condemned *who did not believe the TRUTH, but had pleasure in unrighteousness(rejected and rebelled against the TRUTH of GOD's WORD).

      But we are bound to give thanks to GOD always for you, brethren, beloved by the LORD, because GOD from the beginning chose you for Salvation through sanctification by the SPIRIT and belief in the TRUTH, to which HE called you by our Gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our LORD JESUS CHRIST. Therefore, brethren, STAND FAST and hold the traditions which you were taught, whether by WORD or Epistle.  Now may our LORD JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF, and our GOD and FATHER, who has loved us and given us everlasting consolation and GOOD HOPE by GRACE, COMFORT your hearts and establish you in every good WORD and work.

2nd.Thessalonians 2:1 - 17

      Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood(the corrupted human body)cannot inherit the kingdom of GOD; nor does corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I tell you a mystery :  We shall not all sleep(physical death), but we shall all be changed(the bodies of those in the grave and our bodies who are still alive when CHRIST calls for HIS Bride from the clouds),  in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet(not the trumpet from Revelation).  For the trumpet will sound, and the dead(the bodies of those who have died in CHRIST) will be raised incorruptible(and reunited with their soul/spirit that the LORD brings with HIM), and we(those who are alive in CHRIST at HIS coming for HIS Bride)shall be changed.  For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.  So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written:  " Death is swallowed up in victory."   " O Death, where is your sting ?   O Hades, where is your victory ? "   The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to GOD, WHO gives us the victory through our LORD JESUS CHRIST.  Therefore, my beloved brethren, be STEADFAST,  IMMOVABLE, ALWAYS  ABOUNDING in the work of the LORD, KNOWING that you labor IS NOT IN VAIN IN THE LORD.

1st.Corinthians 15: 50 - 58

      Now if you are not a Truly Born Again Christian and you have heard or read a clear presentation of the Gospel and continue to refuse HIS calling to repentance and Salvation through HIS Free Gift, then you are one of *those that are spoken of above. When JESUS comes for HIS Bride, the church, those who have heard or read a clear presentation of the Gospel will believe whatever lie is sent your way about what has happened to all the Christians.  If the lie would be about aliens coming, you will believe it. If the lie is about a black hole opening up and people disappeared into it, you will believe it - and you will not have another chance to believe the truth of the Gospel,  YOUR FATE WILL BE SEALED.  So while it is still day, repent and turn for today is still the day of Salvation.

      Now if you are not a Truly Born Again Christian and you have NEVER heard or read a clear presentation of the Gospel, then I have news for you. GOD loves you !  Even though you like me are a sinner, we were born sinners, we are not a sinner because we sin but because we are born that way. As proof, do you have to teach a little child to lie - NO, they will lie right to your face without even one lesson !  So yes, we are all born sinners and GOD made a way for us to be forgiven.  There needed to be a payment made for our sin, so GOD sent HIS only begotten SON, the LORD JESUS CHRIST, to earth to die on a Roman cross at Calvary as payment for your sin and mine.  JESUS gave up HIS SPIRIT and died on the cross, they buried HIM and HE rose again, alive on the third day.  Since JESUS was WITHOUT sin, death could not hold HIM and GOD the FATHER requires a perfect sinless sacrifice as payment for your sin.  GOD loves YOU and gave HIS best for you.

      Now do you believe that GOD loves YOU ?  Do you believe that GOD sent HIS SON to pay the debt that you owe for your sin ?  IF so, then pray this little prayer  or  one like it :

      Dearest Heavenly FATHER,  I know that I am a sinner and that I can do nothing on my own to save myself.  I know and believe that YOU sent JESUS to die and raise from the dead, in my place for my sin and I ask that YOU forgive me and also ask that JESUS come into my heart and life and make me a new creature in HIM.  In JESUS' name I pray,  AMEN

Now if you have made a decision for CHRIST after reading this blog,  PLEASE let me know so that I can REJOICE along with the angels in Heaven who rejoice over one sinner that repents.  Don't be one of those who remain unbelieving and believe the lie and perish,  BUT be BELIEVING and saved, in CHRIST. Your promise of a Heavenly Eternal Home awaits all those, in CHRIST.

Your servant in CHRIST,

Julie
