Each of us is meant to prepare for the big transition!
The Holy Spirit is here to not only comfort us but also to counsel us in all matters, especially the mysteries revealed by Paul in his writings.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Corinthians chapter 15:
50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption.
51 Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed–
52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”
55 “O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?”
56 The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law.
57 But thanks be to God, Who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
In other Words:
So now, Beloved ones, stand firm, stable, and enduring. Live your lives with an unshakable confidence. We know that we prosper and excel in every season by serving the Lord, because we are assured that our union with the Lord makes our labor productive with fruit that endures.
Paul reveals a mystery concerning our transition from earth to Heaven, no matter what our current state: physically dead or alive when the last trumpet sounds. Death cannot hold us to this current world in any form or fashion. Jesus made sure of that when He swallowed up death with His Triumphant victory!
Whether you and I are resurrected or transformed, it does not matter. FATHER has fully accounted for all of us who Love Him and serve Him with all our hearts.
It is written by THE SPIRIT in Malachi chapter 3:
16 Then those who feared the LORD spoke to one another, And the LORD listened and heard them; So a Book of Remembrance was written before Him For those who fear the LORD And who meditate on His Name.
Notice the qualifier in the above verse: those who reverentially fear THE LORD.
The Beloved Disciple recorded what he saw by THE SPIRIT in Revelation chapter13:
7 The beast was given the authority to wage war against the Holy believers. And he was given authority over every tribe, people, language, and nation.
8 Everyone on earth will worship the wild beast—those whose names have not been written from the foundation of the world in the Book of the Life of the Lamb who was slain.
Jesus’ Bride will not be among those who suffer during the time of tribulation. Those who make up the Bride of Christ will be harpazo’d before that seven-year period. Do you think Jesus would prepare His Bride and then put her through this severe seven-year period out of His Agape Love for Her?
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 8:
20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope;
21 because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the Children of God.
22 For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now.
23 Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.
Notice that Paul includes himself when he speaks of “we” in the above passage. Whether it be by resurrection or transformation, let us all cling to the hope of the mystery revealed for our redemption draws near!
