"Before the True KING"

"Before the LORD: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth." (Psalms 96:13)
If you need any more persuading, then you won't need to wait much longer. This verse is actually a continuation of the last; there was no period after "then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice." Is it any wonder that God has stood the ridiculousness of this world as long as He has; things are really starting to become just as the Bible said that they would be: "Those who call evil good and good evil are as good as dead, who turn darkness into light and light into darkness, who turn bitter into sweet and sweet into bitter." (Isaiah 5:20) The way I see it, we really don't have much time left here; He could come any day now and snatch His bride off of this earth. Regardless of the day or the hour, we must be ready, we must be prepared for His coming. I don't think time is the real issue here, I think it's a matter of fullness; in other words, has the bride been made ready? Jesus told the disciples that the day and the hour is not known by anyone but the Father, for the Father is the one who will inform the Son that His bride is ready; and at the moment which He does, the Son will call forth His bride; and thus will we meet the Son in the air. The Bible also says that the dead in Christ will rise first. I think this might be due to the fact that no one will miss them right away; however, it will all happen in such a quick flash, no one will be able to tell the difference, because we will all meet Him in the air together. Whether you believe it or not, it is going to happen! The real question we need to be concerned about, is the question of readiness, not about the question of time, as in when it shall happen. Regardless of the meaning of the oil, the five foolish virgins were unprepared at the time of His coming; they needed to be prepared at all times, just as we should be. Are you ready? Or will you be found unprepared, saying, "The Lord delays His coming." I want to be ready, because the judgment upon this world will be taking place once the church has been removed. That should be enough to convince anyone that they need to be ready, but sadly, many will be left having to face that Great Tribulation; which is God pouring out His wrath on an unbelieving world. Fortunately, there will be many who will be saved during that time, but they will pay for it dearly. Why put it off until then, when it is so much easier now? Don't think that you will have a change of heart after you see the taking away of the church; because the chances are, if you won't except Him now, then you won't do it then either. What's stopping you now, not being willing to give up with your sinful living? What makes you think that giving up your life will be any easier? These are very interesting times that we are living in; and I have said it before, and I will say it again: We might not know the day of the hour, but we will know the season, as in the signs of the time...
"We tell you this directly from the Lord: We who are still living when the Lord returns will not meet him ahead of those who have died. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, the Christians who have died will rise from their graves. Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Then we will be with the Lord forever. So encourage each other with these words." (1 Thessalonians 4:15-18) NLT
