TO THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST; HIS BRIDE

Jesus is coming for His Bride SOON.
We are at the end of the age.
NEAR THE POINT OF RAPTURE.



REV. 4:1 After this I looked, and, behold,
a door was opened in heaven:
and the first voice which
I heard was as it were of a trumpet
talking with me; which
said, Come up hither;.


Thessalonians 4:16 
The Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout
‘Come up Hither’


Satan will soon come into his fullness upon the face of the earth.
Setting himself up to deceive even the elect if possible.


Rev 13:17
And that no man might buy or sell, save he
that had the mark, or the name of the beast,
or the number of his name.

Mark 13:20   And except that the Lord had shortened those days,
no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake,
whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.


Many do not understand the TWO ELECT  on earth.
Christ has two elect on earth.
The Church and Jew.
The Bride taken out in Rev 4:1 The Jew will be left.
THE BRIDE OF CHRIST IS ALSO KNOWN AS GODS ELECT.


- Take a moment to ponder what a fence rider is?
WHAT IS A FENCE RIDER?

-Its one that Knows of Christ and His word but
HAS NOT OF YET MADE THE LEAP OF FAITH INTO
SOUL SALVATION THROUGH / In JESUS.

 Imagine the reality of TRUTH Factoring that will
come upon those on the DAY OF RAPTURE
when they find themselves not just only left behind
but the brutal awakening of that all they know
and understood OF...

THE WORD OF GOD -is now then a blatant
REALITY OF LIFE ON EARTH
IN [DURING] THE TRIBULATION ... WHICH BEGINS:
OFFICIALLY ON THE DAY OF RAPTURE
OF THE BRIDE OF CHRIST.


YES THAT WILL BE
DAY #1 of the beginning of 7 years.

Soaking the truth of this in your mind and heart
imagine the day your loved ones suddenly vanish
before your eyes. Instant pandemonium, chaotic
catastrophic of every sort imaginable everywhere
on the globe at the same time.

-Now ponder the Fence Rider should see more clearly in that day!
Many of the fence riders will become Gods Elect during the Tribulation.
While many a fence rider will fall for the Antichrist of Revelation
believing he is the true Christ in the flesh on earth.


Many individuals will come into salvation during the Tribulation;
many will be martyred for their faith in Christ;


Rev 6:9
And when he had opened the fifth seal,
I saw under the altar the souls
of them that were SLAIN FOR THE WORD OF God,
and for the testimony which they held:

[Rev 20:4] 
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them:and I saw the souls of them that were BEHEADED for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshiped the beast,
  neither hisimage, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or
in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ
a "1000" years.


and many will survive the seven years to walk
in their flesh and blood body into the Millennial
reign of Christ on earth. Isaiah 65:25 The wolf
and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw
like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat.
They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the Lord.



Rev20:2-32 And he laid hold on the dragon,
that old serpent, which is the Devil,
and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
3 And cast him into the bottomless pit,
and shut him up, and set a seal upon him,
that he should deceive the nations no more,
till the thousand years should be fulfilled:
and after that he must be loosed a little season.



Can we understand GODS ELECT ON EARTH now and those DURING THE TRIBULATION? Can we see what the Fence Riders [ at the calling of Christ to his Bride] might do as they begin their journey into the Tribulation [as they are aware of yet left behind]?


------------- THE FOLLOWING Excerpt is taken from JACK VAN IMPE's Book; 'REVELATION REVEALED'----------

God has two elect groups upon earth -- Israel (Romans 11:28)

and the Church (1 Peter 1:2).


The signs of Matthew 24 are presented to ELECT ISRAEL!

We know this to be true because
of the regard for the Sabbath Day (vs. 20), synagogues (Luke 21:12),


and because the setting is Jerusalem (vs. 20). These signs are for Israel who is looking
for the return of her King in Revelation 19. They are not signposts for the Rapture.
The gospel mentioned in Matthew 24:24 is the gospel of the kingdom that the King is
about to return (Revelation 19:16)

Although the signs are completely fulfilled after the Christians are gone, we see the
beginnings of every on of these prophecies (Luke 21:28).
Matthew 24 is spoken to Israel rather than the Church. The signs are not pre-Rapture
signals but post-Rapture signposts for Israel. They point to the coming of Christ to
this earth as King of Kings and Lord of Lords (Revelation 19:11-16).
Old Testament Signs of the end times:


1.    Automobiles (Nahum 2:3,4)
2.    Airplanes (Isaiah 31:5)
3.    Desert blossoming as a rose (Isaiah 35:1)
4.    Alignment of a ten nation western confederacy (Daniel 2,7)
5.    Knowledge explosion (Daniel 12:4)
6.    Great increases in travel (Daniel 12:4)
New Testament Signs of the end times:
1.    False Christs & False Prophets (Matthew 24:5,24; 2 Peter 2:1)
2.    Wars & rumors of wars (Mark 13:7; Matthew 24:6)
3.    Famines, earthquakes in divers places, pestilences (Luke 21:11)
4.    Iniquity abounding (Matthew 24:12)
5.    Gospel of the kingdom preached to all the world (Matthew 24:14)
6.    Signs in the sun, moon, and stars, sea and waves roaring (Luke 17:26-30; 21:25-27)
7.    Introduction of evil spirits which control cults and false religions (1 Timothy 4:1,2)
The 19 signs of 2 Timothy 3:1-5, signs within man:
1.    Lovers of themselves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent (drunkenness. gluttony, deviate sex, drugs), fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God, having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof.
2.    Hoarding of gold and silver, and its final demise (James 5:1-3)
3.    Scoffers mocking the Second Coming of Christ (2 Peter 3:3,4)
5.    Lethargy and indifference among God's people (Revelation 3:14-16)
6.    Invention of the atom bomb (2 Peter 3:10)
7.    Jerusalem under Jewish control (Luke 21:24)

Judgment signs:

1.    As it was in the days of Lot (Luke 17:28,30; Ezekiel 20:47; Zephaniah 1:18; Malachi 4:1;
Revelation 8:7,9:18)
2.    As it was in the days of Noah (Gluttony, drunkenness, illicit sex, corruption, violence)
(Matthew 24:37; Genesis 6:11)
3.    Distress of nations (Luke 21:25)
4.    Hearts failing for fear (Luke 21:26)


         ------- THANK YOU JACK VAN IMPE; JESUS* BLESSINGS TO YOU --------




That helps us to understand Gods two elect Groups on earth NOW
and THEN DURING THE TRIBULATION.


HOWEVER THERE IS ONLY ONE BRIDE OF CHRIST.

ONE BRIDE.
ONE BRIDE.
ONE BRIDE.


IF ONE IS NOT BORN AGAIN BEFORE JESUS COMES FOR HIS BRIDE.
THEN YOU MISSED THE ETERNAL STATUS OF BRIDE.

YOU WILL THEN FALL INTO A DIFFERENT CATEGORY.




*THE THREE GROUPS


Revelations 7: 13 - 14 and one of the elders answered,
saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes?
 And whence came they?

The answer?

14.    And I said unto him, Sir,
thou knowest. And he said to me..... These are they which came out
of great tribulation, and have washed their robes,
and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

This is another proof that the Church.... is in Heaven,
not upon earth.... Why?

John does not recognize this group.
He knows the raptured Church in Heaven (Rev.4, verse 1),
but not the ones on earth in this text.
These are Tribulation Saints, who have washed their robes
and made them white, in the blood of the Lamb.

Please hear God once again;
These are they that came out of the Great Tribulation.

That explains why John- who recognized the Church in Heaven-
is in a fog concerning these individuals.
They are new brothers and sisters in Christ... though unknown to John.

They have been saved during a different period of time.
A time when he and the church was already in heaven...
And then this new group was presented.

Each ELECT GROUP saved during different dispensations of time
has different duties to perform.


PLEASE NOTE  HERE!!!!!!
Each ELECT GROUP saved during different dispensations of time
IS EXACTLY HOW  THERE ARE TWO ELECT ON EARTH NOW AND INDEED WILL BE AFTER THE RAPTURE OF THE BRIDE....

[watch this- soon this Elect Bride will be gone- {? then Who's left}

*The Church is the Bride of Christ
and enjoys the 1,000 year Honeymoon upon
earth (chapter REV 20 vs. 4).
They reign as rulers kings and priests...
(1 Peter 2:9 / Rev 1:6).

*The 144,000 serve closest to the Lamb
and His Bride... (chapter 14 vs. 4).


 [hint hint- the gentiles below are todays fence riders]

*The Gentiles saved during the Tribulation Period will be
Temple Servants, waiting on Christ and His Bride. 
They serve in the Glorious Temple ...
(described in Ezekiel chapters 40– 48)


Russia would march, then Antichrist
would be smashed and the Lord
would return with His bride.
At that time the millennial Temple
is erected and the Gentiles serve.


Soon the people of God from all dispensations
enjoy the presence of God. 
Their days of suffering, heartache, and abuse by
and ungodly world are finished.
Tears are wiped way and every remembrance of
past sorrow is obliterated from their minds.


Praise Jesus! Soon we shall all have our place in the Lord.



Note: Where are the Jews?

Chapter 7 the 144,000- this group cannot be the Church,
for the church is already in Heaven. (chap. 4 vs. 1)
Also the Church is not Jewish but composed of all races,
peoples and tongues.

The 144,000 represent the Twelve Tribes of Israel.
Juda, Reuben, Gad, Aser, Nepthalim, Manasses, Simeon, Levi,
Issachar, Zebulon, Joseph and Benjamin...
Jewish names...head up Jewish Tribes in a Jewish Nation- Israel.


Hallelujah!
Praise the Lord Jesus*



[and another special thanks to J.V.I.
for his study on the three groups.]


Can we understand GODS ELECT ON EARTH now and those DURING THE TRIBULATION?

Their will be TWO GROUPS AFTER THE RAPTURE of the Church
JUST AS THEIR ARE TWO GROUPS OF GODS ELECT
NOW ON EARTH.


  Certainly the Rapture will make instant believers of many present day fence riders.
  Gentiles saved during the Tribulation Period will be called Gods Elect
on earth and of course we still have Gods Elect Jew on earth and there you have it.... the TWO GROUPS OF ELECT ON EARTH DURING THE TRIB.


 Just think

-you can be saved before Rev.4:1 and be apart of the Bride of Christ
-you can be saved during the Trib. and be martyred for Christ
or
- you can be saved during the Trib and miraculously survive it
to walk into the Millennial reign of Christ on earth.


OR
 -you could die unsaved and slide into the pit of hell for all eternity.

Please consider coming to Jesus today... you have NO security in tomorrow.. NOR the rest of this day. NO time is promised us. Life is but a  vapor; here today and gone tomorrow. Its a great time to come to Jesus and be saved. Cheat the devil out of your eternal soul- today through the blood of the Lamb Jesus Christ, who is the same today, as He was yesterday and will be tomorrow,. Jesus* Bless your heart in Him.
