Is the rapture imminent, can Jesus come back today?
NO, JESUS CANNOT COME BACK TODAY!!!
God
tells us that certain things must occur before Jesus can come back at the
rapture. Those things have not happened yet; therefore, Jesus cannot come back
today or any other day until those things occur.
God clearly tells us this in His Word; the
Thessalonians incorrectly thought they missed the rapture, or that it was about
to occur—that it was imminent. Here is what God through the apostle Paul told
them.
1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming
of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be
troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the
day of Christ is at hand. 2 Thes 2.
What did God tell them about the imminence of
the rapture? “…be not soon shaken in mind…as that the day of Christ is at hand.”
In other words, the Day of Christ, which is the rapture event, is NOT at
hand—NOT IMMINENT! God told them the rapture cannot happen yet because certain
things have to occur first.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that
day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin
be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all
that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the
temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 2 Thes 2.
What does God say must happen before the
rapture takes place at the Day of Christ? The “falling away” must occur first,
the man of sin—the antichrist—be revealed and the abomination of desolation
occur—proclaims himself to be god in the Temple.
1. Falling away.
2. antichrist revealed.
3. Abomination of desolation.
All
of that must occur before the day of Christ—the rapture—is at hand or imminent!
Those things have not occurred, therefore there is no imminence, and Christ
cannot come back today.
So, when you hear someone say or infer that
Jesus can come back today, try to help them understand that He cannot. BTW, the
belief in Imminence is a major pillar to the pre-tribulation rapture theory,
when that pillar is removed the theory falls apart.
I hope you realize that Jesus CANNOT come back
today; after we see the falling away, the abomination of desolation, and the
antichrist take over the world, then we can say the rapture is imminent. And when
you see Seal 6 opened—the sun darkened, the moon turned to blood,
and the stars fall—then go outside and look up, because Jesus will appear in
the sky and bring you home.
"Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man." — Luke 21:36
