Could This Be the Year?

Could This Be The Year?

Many years have come and gone since Jesus left Mt. Olivet and returned to His heavenly home. Prior to his departure, He made this promise: that if He went away and prepared a place for all believers, He would come again and receive them unto Himself, so that where He was they could be with Him also. (John 14:1-3)
In Acts 1:11 the Apostles who stood gazing toward heaven as Jesus entered the clouds were told by the Angels that one day He would return just like He went away. Could this be that day? Could this be the hour when the grave-splitting shout comes from on high? Could this be the year of the coming of the Son of God to Rapture (catch away the Saints)?
On that resurrection morning when the dead in Christ shall rise, untold millions will vanish from around the world and the streets will be flooded with weepers frantically searching for their missing loved ones! Screaming Too Late! Too Late!
While the entire world swings into chaos, the devastating news strikes fear in the hearts of those who have been left behind. While radios are switched on, television news channels gleaned, and all telephone switchboards are jammed, terrified people watch in horror as giant airplanes fall from the sky, loaded passenger trains jump the track, and huge piles of wrecked automobiles make the freeways look like one long junkyard.
In John 17:12 Jesus said, “While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: Those that thou gavest (Gave) me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition (Judas Iscariot); that the scripture might be fulfilled.” So it is important to understand that at the Rapture of the Church all that God has given to Jesus (that is every one that is saved by grace through faith) will be among the missing.
It is common knowledge that there are born- again Christians in all of society today, and among them are airplane pilots, train engineers, semi-truck drivers and captains of huge ships. It doesn’t take much stretching of the imagination to see the horrible picture that’s being painted here.
The reader must wake up and realize that when that last trumpet sounds the Christian pilot, the train engineer, and the ship Captain, will vanish from their positions. And just imagine all of the saved truck drivers disappearing and leaving those huge rigs to go crashing down the cluttered highway.
On the home front people will be disappearing from their cars, vans, pickup trucks, and from all other means of transportation. But the hardest message unsaved mothers will ever hear will be preached by an empty crib bed when they discover that Jesus has come and taken all innocent, sinless children away. Remember, all this takes place in a moment in the twinkling of an eye (I Corinthians 15:51-54), so I ask you dear reader, COULD THIS BE THE YEAR?? THE DAY?? THE HOUR?? OR THE MOMENT??
