The Great Day of Our Lord Jesus!

Opening Scripture:
2 John 1:5-11 1 Timothy 4:11-16

2 Thessalonians 2:1-13
For many deceivers are entered into the world Let no man despise thy youth be believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations They shall put you out of the synagogues know that the desolation thereof is nigh

2 Thessalonians 3:1-6,11-16 1 Timothy 6:6-14 2 Thessalonians 1 John 16:1-12 Luke 21:19-21

Jesus will come after the Great Tribulation whether we see it or not we shall endure until the end (Matthew 24:13). At the last trump those faithful shall be gloried in the clouds BEING BORN a spiritual body just as Jesus was when he was resurrected from death. (Acts 17:3) Therefore, the sound of the 7th trumpet in 1 Thess 4:13-17 is the first resurrection of the saints in Christ just as Jesus, the firstborn of the dead (Revelation 1:5-6) was raised up a spiritual body so shall they who are faithful, the firstfruits of the harvest (Pentecost) will be glorified of Jesus in the clouds at his coming. (1 Corinthians 15:20, 38-44) Matthew 24:1-31

13. There is no rapture taking place, however scripture proves it is the First Resurrection (Rev 20:5-6), the Day of Redemption (Ephesians 4:30, Romans 8:23, 1 Peter 1:3-5, 20-23, 1 Thess 4:13-17, Rev. 7:13-17) when Jesus shall return to Mt Of Olives to establish his Kingdom (Zech. 14) after the battle in the valley of Decision. (Joel 3)

Matthew 24:32-35 32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: 33So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. 34Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. 35Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, who shall be able to stand?
