The Rapture revisited: part 1
I had a dream some years back about the rapture, as I was ascending,
I remembered looking back at the things I had left behind. I remember being
given the choice to stay, or to continue ascending. There really wasn’t a choice
for me personally, but it got me thinking. Can you honestly walk away from the
thinks you have acquire if God calls you at a moment’s notice? Secondly, why
was I looking back and not forward? Am I totally committed or serving but not
with all of my heart? Are things controlling me or am I in control? I thought
about the people I failed to reach; I will never have the chance to reach them
ever again. If not but for your daddy’s grace this day will bring great joy and
at the same time great sadness. Why you may ask?
30. So will it be in the day of the revelation of the
Son of man.
31. On that day, if anyone is on the roof of the
house, and his goods are in the house, let him not go down to take them away;
and let him who is in the field not go back to his house.
32. Keep in mind Lot’s wife.
33. If anyone makes an attempt to keep his life, it
will be taken from him, but if anyone gives up his life, he will keep it.
34. I say to you, in that night there will be two men
sleeping in one bed, and one will be taken away and the other let go.
35. Two women will be crushing grain together; one
will be taken away and the other let go.
36. Two [men] shall be in the field; the one shall be
taken, and the other left.
I gave you this scripture because I wanted to make a point, most teaches focus on things, but there is one other reason Lot's wife could have been looking back.
Gen 19:12 Then the men said to Lot, are there any others of your family here? sons-in-law or sons or daughters, take them all out of this place;
13. For we are about to send destruction on this
place, because a great outcry against them has come to the ears of the Lord;
and the Lord has sent us to put an end to the town.
14. And Lot went out and said to his sons-in-law, who
were married to his daughters, Come, let us go out of this place, for the Lord
is about to send destruction on the town. But his sons-in-law did not take him
seriously.
15. And when morning came, the angels did all in their power
to make Lot go, saying, Get up quickly and take your wife and your two
daughters who are here, and go, for fear that you come to
destruction in the punishment of the town.
16. But while he was waiting, the men took him and his
wife and his daughters by the hand, for the Lord had mercy on them, and put
them outside the town.
17. And when they had put them out, he said, go for
your life, without looking back or waiting in the lowland; go quickly to the
mountain or you will come to destruction.
