Look Up!

The sound of trumpets! A bright light in the sky! Angels appear! Then suddenly we see our Lord and King, Jesus! As the lightning shines from the east to the west, the entire heavens are lit up in glory! The whole universe stands still for 30 minutes in silence as Jesus Christ returns to earth to gather His elect!

Weightlessness! Our bodies are lifted swiftly into the air as the sky fills with others. Thousands! Clouds of human bodies that are transformed in the twinkling of an eye, all soaring towards Jesus!

Earth recedes! Heaven opens!

Streams of followers of Christ flow up from all around the globe and the whole world of unbelievers watches on camera, on computers, on TV's. It's a phenomena. It's a miracle and marvel. What does it mean?

Those left behind have little time to think because a huge earthquake sets the planet rocking and reeling! Fear grips those who have hidden themselves in underground bunkers and caves of the mountains. They scream in agony to the rocks,

"FALL ON US AND HIDE US FROM GOD'S ANGER AND JUDGEMENT!"

All that planning, all that storing up of wealth, preparing for catastrophe was a waste of time. Those who tried to save their lives have discovered their lives are LOST. Their souls are LOST.

Even still, they hear the voice of an angel warning them, instructing them on how to save themselves.

The angel announces in a loud voice:

"FEAR GOD AND GIVE GLORY TO HIM; FOR THE HOUR OF HIS JUDGMENT IS COME: AND WORSHIP HIM THAT MADE HEAVEN, AND EARTH, AND THE SEA, AND THE FOUNTAINS OF WATERS."

Last chance! God's getting ready to pour out his Wrath. You've been warned. The two witnesses preached the Gospel to you for three and a half years but you didn't listen. You celebrated their deaths. Here's your one and only last chance to be saved from severe and dire judgement. ARE YOU GOING TO LISTEN?

Meanwhile back in Heaven:

God's children are rejoicing and celebrating. There's a huge party going on. It's a wedding feast! The wife of Christ has made herself ready. She is arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

Revelation 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.

Where is the Groom?

(He has some unfinished business to take care of. Having redeemed his bride from the clutches of the evil one, her Hero is going back to avenge her.)

He is sitting on a white horse; "and He that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns; and He had a name written, that no man knew, but He Himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven followed Him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of His mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it He should smite the nations: and He shall rule them with a rod of iron: and He treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And He hath on His vesture and on His thigh a name written, King of Kings, and Lord of Lords." (Rev. 19:11-16)

Meanwhile on the Earth:

An angel is inviting all the fowls that fly in the skies to come to another supper! This is the Supper of the Great God and man flesh in on the menu! Yummy! (Rev. 19:17-18)

The question is: Do you want to eat or do you want to be eaten? Do you want to be invited to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb or do you want to BE supper?
