"A Good Report"

 "And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:" (Hebrews 11:38 KJV) 

 ""My Father has entrusted everything to me. No one truly knows the Son except the Father, and no one truly knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him." Then when they were alone, he turned to the disciples and said, "Blessed are the eyes that see what you have seen. I tell you, many prophets and kings longed to see what you see, but they didn't see it. And they longed to hear what you hear, but they didn't hear it."" (Luke 10:22-24 NLT)

 Although it might not flow down the same stream, there is surely a connection and something to make us remember how blessed we are, not only to have the words written for us to read, but also to have the Holy Spirit living in us to give us understanding and comfort to trust the goodness God! We really are blessed to be living in this time; even though this world might be trembling and things seem to be spinning out of control: God is still on the Throne, and any time He will give the command, "Son, go get your Bride!" 

 I was listening to part of a message yesterday that was all about the Rapture of the Church. If you have been following this blog for any amount of time, then you know what I think about the timing of that event; that it will happen before the biggening of the Tribulation. As most who believe the same, we know that the Tribulation will involve God's judgement on a wicked world; so catastrophic will be the events, that the bride of Christ will be taken up before they happen. 

 There are some who think it will be in the middle of that Tribulation; and then there are some that think it will be at the end of the Tribulation: but the first half of the Tribulation will be reaction to the event, that event being the Rapture of the Church! Interesting enough, there is something becoming more and more evident to many people about the reality of things from other planets; which I believe is what will cause the world will become a One-World Order, based upon the people that have been, so called, taken by beings from another planet.

 It might all sound crazy and hard to believe; but those who get saved during that first half of the Tribulation will be killed, most likely beheaded, for not denying God, and for not getting the mark...    

""When the Son of Man returns, it will be like it was in Noah's day. In those days before the flood, the people were enjoying banquets and parties and weddings right up to the time Noah entered his boat. People didn't realize what was going to happen until the flood came and swept them all away. That is the way it will be when the Son of Man comes. "Two men will be working together in the field; one will be taken, and the other left. Two women will be grinding flour at the mill; one will be taken, the other left. "So you, too must keep watch! For you don't know what day your Lord is coming. Understand this: If a homeowner knew exactly when a burglar was coming, he would keep watch and not permit his house to be broken into. You also must be ready all the time, for the Son of Man will come when least expected."" (Matthew 24:37-44 NLT)
