excerpt from Joseph Prince calm so they

tell us that rapture is something that

in was conjured up by someone in the

1800’s 19th century but let me tell you

this they even Shakespeare who live in

1600 he wrote of the rapture in his play

Pericles act to sin one not in terms of

delight but in terms of removing from

one location to the other he was talking

about the rapture of the sea not the

heaven the sea he used that terminology

because it was well used in those days

in terms of removing rapture can mean a

rapturous delight it’s not referring to

that he’s referring from moving from one

scene to another and sixteen hundreds

before 19th century my friends

the famous Matthew Henry the the most

famous comentary of any around the

entire Bible is a man called Matthew

Henry now Matthew Henry all right hmm

it was very hugh matthew henry lived in

the sixteen hundreds and matthew henry

wrote okay he wrote this regarding the

rapture first thessalonians 4:17

it’s comentary at or immediately before

this rapture into the clouds those who

are alive will undergo a mighty change

what i’m endeavouring to show you friend

it is not a figment of someone’s

imagination it wasn’t a group that came

together in the 1800s and and coined

this word rapture is something taught

down to church history they might not

use the word rapture all the time but

the truth is there even the tassel

onehans when paul was still alive they

were looking for his son from heaven

they were not looking for the Antichrist

okay now that’s matthew henry let’s look

at another famous minister who commented

also in a book called the practical

expose eater there’s a dr. john guys but

the john guys leave 1682 1761 all this

before 19th century my friend they live

during the time of Shakespeare and what

did this guy say on first Thessalonians

4:7 did we

with them shall be carried up by a

divine rapture so I want to tell you

this is not something that came up with

from one’s imagination okay so back to

this let’s imagine okay that we are now

in the city of Salonika the tassel

onehans alright we are the tassel

onehans and and we have received Christ

now we’re waiting for his son from

heaven while waiting for a sign from

heaven because we do not know when the

rapture will happen right some of the

brothers or sisters that we love and

care for they die

now don’t forget they have no teaching

on the rapture yet not their concern

about them they didn’t make it to wait

for Jesus to come from heaven what would

happen to them will they enter the

kingdom so they have all this kind of

thoughts anyway one day there was a

messenger a runner who came to the

believers in Thessalonica and say hey

hey guys the latest from the Apostle

Paul I have a letter from the Apostle

Paul you’re not right in those days they

don’t text you know in this generation

you must tell because some of our use

are like what gross really me know

tell them you know so the elder one of

the elders stood up and say gather the

believers together in Thessalonica we

have a letter from Apostle Paul our

brother and then Paul has been hearing

but their predicament they are concerned

about those who have died they are

soldering for them and amongst this test

alone Ian’s there’s a man let’s call him

a young man or let’s call him Demetrius

that’s a nice name a common name among

Greeks Demetrius the Demetrius has been

waiting to hear something from Paul

because ever since fall first came he

got saved through Paul’s preaching and

and Paul taught him to wait for God’s

Son from heaven during that time while

waiting young Demetrius you know he has

been tempted many times sometimes he

said no the temptation sometimes his sin

all right and he’s not sure whether

whether you know his security with God

is dead-on or he’s one of those that are

stumbling Christian

so one of the things I want to answer in

this sermon is one of the biggest things

is this not those who deny the rapture

all right yes there are not a big

majority but a big majority of

Christians that believe in the rapture

believe not all Christians are going up

and only the faithful ones only those

faithful ones those who are watching

those who are overcoming now again that

drops the average believer of hope okay

and this big this one is big is a

partial theory rapture so let’s look at

the Bible don’t let Joseph Prince

explain let the Bible explain use church

for yourself all believers going up or

not so young Demetrius he realized ever

since became a Christian he has not been

a a what I call a a Christian that’s

been overcoming his bad habit in fact

he’s he’s been falling here and there

sometimes he wins sometimes he loses

sometimes he learns all right

it doesn’t always say yes and neither

does he always say no he’s the kind of

Christian God

now his tames because the latest letter

from Paul has come and it’s inspired

you’ll become Bible

so the an elder a loud voice takes

Paul’s letter in those days is in a

scroll form and he starts reading

remember I told you guys chapter 1 that

you wait for God chapter 1 again the

wait for his son from heaven whom God

raised from the day even Jesus who

delivers us from the rough to come and

then he keeps on reading and it tells

them in this letter Paul says you know

what it’s my crown of joy all of you

when Jesus comes again

that’s also in first Thessalonians and

then he comes to this in chapter 4 okay

he says I do not want you to be ignorant

brethren concerning those who have

fallen asleep that means those who have

passed or left you sorrow as others who

have no hope

for if we believe that Jesus died and

rose again even so God will bring with

him those who sleep in Jesus next for

this we say to you by the word of the

Lord no fear Demetrius is training his

years

how you know we shouldn’t be soaring for

Christians that are dead why Paul says

don’t sorrow for them like people with

no hope like the people of the world but

this I say to you by the word of the

Lord

so whatever pause on us say it is by the

word of the Lord the Lord is going to

say something and Paul is just a

delivery boy that we start to tremble

bit and the speakers pause here that we

we was we were faithful we who are

overcomers

we were watchful who what kind of

Christians are going up we come on come

on I tell you by the word of the Lord

that we who are alive and remain the

only criteria alive and remain so Church

I believe it can happen just like that

Amen that they are straining to hear we

who are faithful know we who are

overcomers know we who are serving know

we who are alive and remain now it is

restricted to believers okay is for

believers but among believers there are

different kinds of levels of

faithfulness the different levels of

commitment different levels of

consecration another good amen and these

people that teach partial rapture who

gave them the authority to say what

level of faithfulness would cost you to

be going up the Apostle Paul himself

speaking by the word of a lot that says

we who are alive and remain if you’re a

believer and you are life at the time of

the rapture you are going up against the

laws of gravity that he himself

instituted when you look at the event

that’s happening in the world today and

what you say well the thing is this we

can see all the science happening

the world is focused again on the middle

is God set is gonna be so Jesus said so

if he focused on the Middle East it

reminds me of a story a true story in

all England there was a property man a

wealthy property man but he was a kind

man and he purchased a large strip of

land acres and acres of land for

building new house projects okay but in

the midst of this land there is a

broken-down dilapidated all Hut and all

lady stays there she lives all by

herself and when his messengers came

over and told her that her days are

numbered this land has been purchased in

any case a house is dilapidated you know

it’s time for it to be razed to the

ground but it told her that they’ll

build another house for her somewhere

else after she wasn’t very you know all

the people always like that yeah they

are they prefer the familiar the top men

the property men himself heard about

this and he himself went down to see the

old lady and he told that elderly lady I

promise you a beautiful house where I

personally make sure that you have ready

electricity these are many years ago you

have ready

water running into the pipes which you

don’t have now and you would like no

inconvenience

I’ll make I’ll build that house for you

okay in a place where you can have help

anytime you need the help whereas down

here you are far away all right I’ll

make sure that this will not be to your

detriment and he told ladies when the

time comes your house is ready I

personally will come and get you myself

well about half a year pass and true

enough as the date drew nearer she saw

bulldozers coming near a house outside

didn’t start work yet the people were

piling they were doing some things in

preparation okay and one of the workers

came over saw her and he had compassion

on her and said lady are you afraid with

the noise of all the bulldozers and all

that don’t worry woman you won’t break

down your house just

yes I ranches no I’m not afraid when

asked why she says that because that man

told me that when my house is ready he’s

coming for me so even though I see all

these things I’m not afraid

he’s coming and true enough the man came

when a house was ready took her himself

and brought her to the beautiful house

all right

we’re so much better than that house

before they tow it down so where we are

right now people is that we are seeing

the bulldozers are in place we are

seeing the whole thing but the worst is

not yet they are just in position he’s

coming for us this thing should not be

make us afraid but he’s coming for us
