| ARE YOU READY? |
These things says He who is holy, He who is true, “He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens. I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, [f]and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name." Revelation 3:7-8
"Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth." - Revelation 3:10
These words are a preview of the coming Harpazo of the bride of Christ. The next thing which John on Patmos saw as he recorded these things in sequence was a door standing open in heaven, and then he heard a voice like a trumpet speaking to him, saying... "Come up here..."
Once again, we should read Matthew 25:1-13. The door will be open, and then shut. On which side of the door will you be? Are you ready?
More than!
ReplyDeleteRJ/Spokane
Yes!!!
ReplyDeleteBags are packed and ready to go...sort of speak.
ReplyDeleteMaranatha
Absolutely!
ReplyDeleteI am! *Maranatha* Please Lord, come for us!
ReplyDeleteEven so, come Lord Jesus!
ReplyDeleteIsaiah said "Here am I. Send me." I say "Here am I. Call me up!" I am ready when the Lord says it is time. I don't add anything so I am completely reliant on Jesus; I simply look to the Lord as it is all up to Him. I am thankful for the great hope that comes with every passing day knowing some day soon He will bring us up to be with Him forever. I simply watch daily and wonder as I try to rightly divide and live a faith filled life--obediently. The feeling is "I can't wait"...as I have no choice but to wait! How long?
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely totaly ready to go...Come Lord Jesus Come!
ReplyDeleteThere are certainly a lot of people here who love and long for our Lord's appearing. :)
ReplyDeleteI am ready and waiting for the call, come up here!
ReplyDeleteI'm ready in the sense that im saved, but I must confess that I fear the judgment seat of Christ. I fear a lot will be burned up
ReplyDeleteEphesians 2:10 NKJV — For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
DeleteHartdawg, it's what remains that God had prepared for you. He knows our end as well as our beginning.I think we will find His yoke was easy and His burden light.
hartdawg......I can totally relate as I had found myself pondering the same. Until I remembered that God hath not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, and love and of a sound mind. And then that’s when I realized that a sound mind tells me that as long as I have breath, God can help me to change that.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, your post helped me as a reminder and my reply was to encourage myself again as well.
Love ya Bro!
YES! So desperately want to see Jesus' face. Every time I think of it and how close we must be, tears well up in my eyes. Come, Lord Jesus, quickly COME!
ReplyDeleteVP I'm glad that I'm not the only one who feels that way. Too often when the question "are you ready" comes up,not enough attention is given to the judgement seat of christ. I think that there should be an element of holy fear involved. I suspect that many Christians will have no crowns or rewards. So while I'm ready in the sense that I'm washed in the blood, I often question if I'm ready for the judgement seat of christ.
ReplyDeleteHartdawg and VP,
DeleteI put below just a few scriptures in reference to your very good point about holy fear.
There are so many more that can be found.
All saints alive today still have time to Love the Lord with all our heart,soul and mind and to love one another.
Jesus loves us and we could ask for no better, no fairer, no more impartial judge than him.
Thanks for the insight you gave.
2 Corinthians 5:10, “We must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ.
appear -greek phaneroo and it literally means “turned inside out,” “to be laid bare".
1 Cor3:13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
14If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
15If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire."
In Mark 9:41Jesus talked about the smallest deeds we have done for Him when He says, “Even those who give a cup of water in My name will not lose their reward.”
Colossians 3:23, “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. Anyone who does wrong will be repaid for his wrong and there is no favoritism.”
1 Corinthians 11:31-32says, “But if we judged ourselves we would not come under
Yess Yess yess!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSean,
ReplyDeleteBy the question you posed I would say we are interpreting this as the ship is sailing soon and the captain is about to say all aboard! I take it a more detailed explanation will follow.
I did go for a long walk today and pray and believe these 3 simple words are worth asking to my small world of people. Maranatha!
Are we there yet??? I’m other words...YES!!
ReplyDeleteIn other words....
DeleteHeaven - where there are no typos or auto-correct!
I feel so selfish for wishing so desperately to go. I'm grateful for all I've had in this life, but there is nothing here for me, I don't want to be here anymore, I want to be with Jesus.
ReplyDeleteI am only worthy through Christ Jesus. Waiting and watching to be in that moment to see the Glory of God is beyond my imagination. Blessings to all and love through Christ.
ReplyDeleteCome quickly Lord Jesus.
We all know how Jesus described no one knowing the day or hour of the Harpazo in the Olivet Discourse.
ReplyDeleteBut are we aware of how Luke described why this is so?
In Acts 1:8 Luke wrote of how Jesus also related this fact to the apostles a second time just prior to His ascenion:
"It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority."
No one can know when the Harpazo will occur... unless God in His own authority makes it known ... as was the case with Noah, and, apparently, with the harpazo of Elijah.
I hope this would be a past is prologue theme for the church. What a wonder for the bride to receive such a revelation.
DeleteAmen and Maranatha!
DeleteSean, are you implying a personal revelation or more of a corporate revelation to believers? How would you like describe this taking shape?
Justin
I am not implying anything. I've made a blog entry which I believe the Lord wanted to be made. This is the second time this has been done here, so it is nothing new.
DeleteHey Sean, I know when the harpazo will occur....sometime before the 70th week hahaha! Sorry, I just couldn't resist. Perhaps today???
DeleteWant to thank you profusely for your faithful insight Sean! It blesses me and love the people who comment too. See you in Heaven either this fall or next year. Incidentally, even Christians are aloof with a capital A about this. Sad...
ReplyDeleteScipio
Scipio, I think aloof is a good description. Many say they have heard this before.
DeleteI have found the closer you draw to God the less the world has to offer. And since He is in us now, whether we go today or 50 years, nothing can separate us from Him. In the end, our time is short on this earth. Let's shine while we can, even if it's a one watt bulb like me.
May God richly bless you.
Eschatology Today teaches as doctrine that Matthew 25 (the parable of ten virgins) is directly related to the pre-70th Week Harpazo of the bride of Christ, and has nothing to do with the Second Coming at the end of the 70th Week.
ReplyDeleteHow ANYONE can confuse the coming of the Bridegroom in Matthew 25 with the 2nd comjng of Jesus Christ in Revelation 19:11-16 is mind-boggling.
DeleteI can only imagine how many e-mails you have gotten because of the Matt. 25 statement above. Many christians have teachers and "scholars" from commentaries that they reference when they are unsure of the meaning.
DeleteWe should all take the advice given here, by you, and seek the Holy Spirits guidance as we study God's word.
We are all at different levels of understanding in our walk with Christ. Some have just entered the sheepfold and are probably saying the sinners prayers a bunch of times just to be sure God heard it. Some have the scars of battle from believing what was taught in some church to find out it was error and now are skittish to trust anyone but still desire to know the truth of what God's word says, so they approach all teaching cautiously. Some are brave like hartdawg who will pose a question that everyone else is thinking but were afraid to ask. The sheepfold is filled with sheep from young and old and a few wolves in sheep clothing. Matt 25 makes a christian examine himself, do you belong to Christ, if yes, walk humbly with you God and know you will hear the call of the bridegroom. If not, repent while their is still time.
Thanks Sean, you are all a blessing!

ReplyDeleteThanks Sean for posting the link.. It's a blessing!!
ReplyDeleteI found this interesting what Sean had mentioned 24 months before the Rev.12 sign in the heavens. This was his last paragraph of the above link...
ReplyDelete“So, now I look for something to occur with the moon and one or more of the twelve constellations. I happen to think or have the impression that Orion may be worth watching. At the present and for near foreseeable future the flood across the Mediterranean Sea of people from the Middle East certainly is causing distress and confusion, which will likely increase as time progresses into this year.”
For those of us paying attention and watching, I’d say we were blessed with a prophetic sign in the heavens just nine months ago! Whooo were you right about that Sean. Add to this, Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and Israel clarifying their constitution that the State of Israel is Jewish. I believe we maybe looking into the eyes of a president who will soon be remembered as “the last of trump” ...as the trumpet sounds.
Maranatha
Joe,
DeleteSo far you're the only one to pick up on this trail, and the impression I was burdened with in early 2016 after reading Luke's record of our Lord's command.
Indeed and without question we witnessed a great sign in the heavens a year ago that included the moon, wandering stars (planets) and two constellations.
I'm still watching! None of this is coincidental!
I’ve noticed someone is missing here. I hope that all is well with Great Grany 5.
ReplyDeleteMay God richly bless you miss Grany, your husdband, your children and all your great grand kids this day and every day moving forward!
Shalom
Sean and all,
ReplyDeleteI have had major computer problems for over a week because I was hacked for reason I cannot figure out and because of that I have not been able to comment here with you all! I had to let my iMac computer compose my whole system again and make my password a secret electronic generated one only known to Apple!I thought I had copied it down correctly but it doesn't work.
I will again and if that doesn't work, I will email my reply to Sean and if he could post it for me but YES, I am eager to sail up, up and away from this silly and evil mess now taking place here on earth! I ask everyday for His Mercy and Grace to be able to keep me until we ALL see HIM face to face and I to am anxious!
GG5/SHALOM,SHALOm
I made it, Oh Glory and praise the Lord, I HAVE MISSED GETTING TO CHAT ALL OF YOU AND COULD NOT FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO IT AND MAKE IT WORK BUT SUDDENLY He showed me how! Love you all and I pray we have a great big get together very soon!
ReplyDeleteYippeeeee praise the Lord!GG5/you got it PERFECT PEACE AND WHOLENESS!Now my caps are getting stuck!
Amen and amen, jmoll!
ReplyDeleteYup, no coincidence at this close of range. Not only in the heavens, but here on a earth a spiritual battle is in play. Can’t help but thank God for warriors of faith considering the climate down here. How in the world do people with out sleep at night? God help them.
ReplyDeleteMaranatha, God bless!
