Paul was given the mystery of the church which differentiates it from the Jews. The Bride is eager and joyfully waits for the harpazo and the Jews have no clue!. The catching away of the Bride can happen at any time.
Pay close attention of what Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit consistently concerning the mystery given to him for the Gentiles by Jesus:
1st Thessalonians 1:10 and to wait for His Son from Heaven, Whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus Who delivers us from the wrath to come.
The Bride is spared from the wrath and will be removed prior to 70th week.
Philippians 3:20 For our citizenship is in Heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,
21 Who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious Body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself.
Wouldn’t it be challenging to be eager if we had to go through the 70th week with those being judged?
Titus 2:11 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men,
12 teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and Godly in the present age,
13 looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,
14 Who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works.
15 Speak these things, exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no one despise you.
If FATHER’S judgment was happening all around us, it would be difficult for us to be looking up for Jesus’ glorious appearing in the sky.
Hebrews 9:28 so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.
I am eager for His second appearing, and I trust you are too!
1st Thessalonians 4:15 For this we say to you by the Word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep.
16 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.
17 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.
18 Therefore comfort one another with these Words.
Paul explicitly shares the “Word of the Lord” and provides us with detail of the harpazo, unlike His return to earth to set up His Kingdom and Throne to rule the earth.
1st Thessalonians 5:1But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you.
2 For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. (the wise and foolish virgins parable)
3 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.
4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief.
5 You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.
6 Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober.
7 For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night.
8 But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and Love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation.
9 For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
10 who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him.
11 Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing.
When we walk in the revelation of these Scriptures, we will be able to walk in Love and faith knowing that our redemption draws near, and we will no longer place importance on worldly things.
Finally, Jesus speaks in Revelation 22: “And behold, I am coming quickly (in an instant), and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work.
13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.”
14 Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city.
15 But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie.
16 “I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.”
17 And the Spirit and the Bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of Life freely.
20 He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.” Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
Both The Holy Spirit and the Bride are eagerly waiting for Jesus to come and take both to Heaven. The Holy Spirit will not be on earth to restrain the adversary for that 70th week. You and I don’t want to be here as well! Focus on doing His commandments, be purified, and walk in Love.
