GRATITUDE & PRAISE

by linzy bruno
4/25/2024 / Prophecy

“Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.” (Revelation 3:10)

Born again believers, typically have little to no difficulty finding gratitude for all the many blessings they cannot help but notice that God is doing in their lives: financial security, food on the table every night, children and grandchildren, however, when we look beyond our own domains and see the intensity of evil rising on a daily basis, those who are paying attention cannot help but realize that today those blessings carry even more reason to be grateful.

Furthermore, there is something even more profound to be grateful for that is even more extraordinary about everyday life for today’s believer, for we are living in the most exclusive time period, perhaps of all time, at least since the days of Noah. We refer to this time period as the End of Days, the Last Days, and now we can even say we are in the final hours of time and life that we have come to know; the Church Age is about to come to a close and life on earth will no longer have God’s blessings upon it, in fact, the earth will be consumed by His Wrath and the evil that will abound even more than it is abounding currently.

Therefore, we are about to see Jesus in the clouds! He is about to descend in order for the Rapture of the church to take place. Our Rescue is oh so near, for we are the generation that will see the RAPTURE! Oh what a time to be alive! Believers who are still in the body will see Him, and He will take us up and we will not even have to taste death to pass from this life to the next! We are the only generation that will ever see such a phenomenal and stupendous event! Therefore, we ought to praise Him and thank Him Who is about to Appear!

The scene in Heaven as soon as the Rapture occurs:

“And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying: “Blessing and honor and glory and power Be to Him who sits on the throne, And to the Lamb, forever and ever!” (Revelation 5:13)

“After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” All the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying: “Amen! Blessing and honor and power and might, Be to our God forever and ever. Amen.” (Revelation 7:9-12)

Moreover, God has made it clear that believers in Christ Jesus will not go through the fast-approaching tribulation period that will last for 7 years. (See Daniel 9:27. NOTE: ‘one week’ represents 7 years)

“Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.” (Revelation 3:10)

Furthermore, the analogy of a ‘thief’ is used in several places in Scripture in order to illustrate how it will be for them who are not ready to accept Jesus as their Savior. But for those who are looking for Him, He will not come as a thief, for they who are waiting for Him will not be caught off guard:

“Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame.” (Revelation 16:15)

“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.” (Matthew 24:43)

“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.” (1Thessalonians 5:2-4)

***Most Prophecy teachers agree that ‘sudden destruction’ refers to the Rapture. This implies that once Israel begins to get the sense that they are out of danger, whether it be true or not, THEN the Rapture will occur, and Israel’s declaration of safety is drawing closer to fruition every day, especially when we consider that Israel is abiding in great confidence; equipped with such a capable military, and knowing God is on their side.

And as further evidence that the Rapture is about to shock this whole world in the disappearance of Christians and young children, Israel is going through a sharp rise in Antisemitism commencing with the most gruesome terrorist attacks on the men, women and children of Israel on October 7^th, 2023. Since that time, America has been increasingly siding with Israel’s enemies, who are known terrorists, and violent pro-Palestinian protests have been breaking out on ivy league college campuses, where Jews are being threatened and harmed in various ways:

“Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of drunkenness to all the surrounding peoples, when they lay siege against Judah and Jerusalem. And it shall happen in that day that I will make Jerusalem a very heavy stone for all peoples; all who would heave it away will surely be cut in pieces, though all nations of the earth are gathered against it.” (Zechariah 12:2-3)

PRAISE THE LORD FOR OUR REDEMPTION IS NEAR!

“Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.” (Luke 21:28)
