Are you ready to go with Him?
JOHN
14:1-3
Let not
your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My
Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told
you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a
place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I
am, there you may be also.
ACTS 1:9-11
Now when
He had spoken these things, while they watched, He has taken up, and a
cloud received Him out of their sight. And while they looked steadfastly
toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white
apparel, who also said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up
into heaven? This same JESUS, who was taken up from you into heaven,
will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven."
LUKE
12:35-40
Let your
waist be girded and your lamps burning; and you yourselves be like men who
wait for their master, when he will return from the wedding, that when he
comes and knocks they may open to him immediately.
Blessed are
those servants whom the master, when he comes, will find watching. Assuredly
I say to you that he will gird himself and have them sit down to eat, and
will come and serve them.
And if he
should come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them
so, blessed are those servants.
But know
this, that if the master of the househad known what hour the thief would
come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into.
Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do
not expect.
MATTHEW 25:1-13
Then the
kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and
went out to meet the bridegroom.
Now five of
them were wise, and five were foolish.
Those who
were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them, but the wise took
oil in their vessels with their lamps.
But while
the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight
a cry was heard: "Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet
him! " Then all
those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said to te
wise: "Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out."
But the
wise answered, saying: "No, lest there should not be enough for us
and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.
And while
they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in
with him to the wedding; and the door was shut. Afterward
the other virgins came also, sying:"Lord, Lord,open to us.
But he
answered and said: "Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.
Watch
therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man
is coming.
MATTHEW
24:36-39, 42-44
"But
of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My
Father only. But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the
Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and
drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered
the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so
also will the coming of the Son of Man be.
Watch
therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming. But know
this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would
come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into.
Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you
do not expect.
LUKE
17:28-30
Likewise
as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they
sold, they planted, they built; but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom
it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. Even so
will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.

CORINTHIANS 15:51-52
Behold, I
tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed.
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at he last trumpet. For the
trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we
shall be changed.

THESALONNIANS
4:16-18
For the
Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an
archangel , and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise
first.
Then we
who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the
clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the
Lord. Therefore
comfort one another with these words.
1 THESALONNIANS
5:1-6
But
concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I
should write to you.
For you
yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in
the night. For when
they say, "Peace and safety! " then sudden destruction comes upon
them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape.
But you,
brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a
thief. You are all
sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.
Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober.

2 Peter 3:9, 15-18
|
The
Lord is not slow in keeping His promise,
as some understand slowness.
He is patient with you, not wanting
anyone to perish,
but everyone to come to repentance.
Bear in mind that our Lord's patience means
salvation, just as our
dear brother
Paul also
wrote you with the wisdom God gave him. |
He writes the same way
in all his epistles, speaking in them of these
matters. His letters contain some things
that are hard to understand,
which ignorant and unstable people
distort as they do the
other Scriptures, to
their own distruction.
Therefore, dear friends, since
you know this, be on
your guard so that you may not be carried away by the error of
lawless men and fall from your secure positon. But grow in
the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior JESUS Christ. To
Him be glory both now and forever! Amen. |
