Warnings in scripture spoken by Jesus with rapture information

 

Here is a number of warnings on various issues spoken by Jesus telling us what we must and must NOT do often with the consequence that a believer in Jesus won’t make heaven or be taken in the coming rapture unless these are heeded. I want you to take all of these scriptures seriously for Jesus did not want any to go to hell and neither do I (neither do I want any to miss the rapture). These scriptures come mainly from Matthew, but there are some from Mark and Luke and I also inserted three of the seven churches in the book of Revelation who were warned about things and whose warnings I feel strongly are applicable today, especially the last, the Laodicean, as there are FAR TOO MANY lukewarm churches AND believers around today!!

I will start the scriptures by stating that hell is a real place and is described to some degree in Mark 9 in these verses:

Jesus warns in these verses in Mark 9 that you should want to do anything at all to avoid entering hell.

(Mark 9:43)  And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:

 

(Mark 9:44)  Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

 

(Mark 9:45)  And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:

 

(Mark 9:46)  Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

 

(Mark 9:47)  And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:

 

(Mark 9:48)  Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.’

 

Here also  in Luke chapter 16, Jesus warns gives an indication of how bad hell will be in this parable of Lazarus and the rich man it is a place where you want no part of at all.

(Luke 16:19)  There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:

 

(Luke 16:20)  And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,

 

(Luke 16:21)  And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.

 

(Luke 16:22)  And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;

 

(Luke 16:23)  And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

 

(Luke 16:24)  And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.

 

(Luke 16:25)  But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

 

(Luke 16:26)  And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.

 

(Luke 16:27)  Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:

 

(Luke 16:28)  For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

 

(Luke 16:29)  Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.

 

(Luke 16:30)  And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.

 

(Luke 16:31)  And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

 

Here Jesus is speaking in Matthew 7 warning against hypocrisy, that the path is narrow, and few that find it and to be sure to do His Father’s  and His will and to follow His words so as to be the one who builds his house on the rock

(Matthew 7:1)  Judge not, that ye be not judged.

 

(Matthew 7:2)  For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

 

(Matthew 7:3)  And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

 

(Matthew 7:4)  Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

 

(Matthew 7:5)  Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

 

(Matthew 7:6)  Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

 

(Matthew 7:7)  Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

 

(Matthew 7:8)  For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

 

(Matthew 7:9)  Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?

 

(Matthew 7:10)  Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?

 

(Matthew 7:11)  If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

 

(Matthew 7:12)  Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

 

(Matthew 7:13)  Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

 

(Matthew 7:14)  Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

 

(Matthew 7:15)  Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

 

(Matthew 7:16)  Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

 

(Matthew 7:17)  Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

 

(Matthew 7:18)  A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

 

(Matthew 7:19)  Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

 

(Matthew 7:20)  Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

 

(Matthew 7:21)  Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

 

(Matthew 7:22)  Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

 

(Matthew 7:23)  And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

 

(Matthew 7:24)  Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

 

(Matthew 7:25)  And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

 

(Matthew 7:26)  And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

 

(Matthew 7:27)  And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

 

In this passage Jesus warns us that blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is never forgivable, how a divided house cannot stand, how we speak what is in our heart and we are accountable for everything we speak especially idle words

(Matthew 12:22)  Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.

 

(Matthew 12:23)  And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?

 

(Matthew 12:24)  But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.

 

(Matthew 12:25)  And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:

 

(Matthew 12:26)  And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?

 

(Matthew 12:27)  And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.

 

(Matthew 12:28)  But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.

 

(Matthew 12:29)  Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.

 

(Matthew 12:30)  He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.

 

(Matthew 12:31)  Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.

 

(Matthew 12:32)  And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

 

(Matthew 12:33)  Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.

 

(Matthew 12:34)  O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

 

(Matthew 12:35)  A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.

 

(Matthew 12:36)  But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

 

(Matthew 12:37)  For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

 

Here in Luke chapter 13 Jesus warns all will perish who don’t repent but also promises mercy for those who do repent

(Luke 13:1)  There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

 

(Luke 13:2)  And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things?

 

(Luke 13:3)  I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

 

(Luke 13:4)  Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?

 

(Luke 13:5)  I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

 

(Luke 13:6)  He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.

 

(Luke 13:7)  Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?

 

(Luke 13:8)  And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:

 

(Luke 13:9)  And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.

 

Jesus very strongly warns against harboring ANY UNFORGIVENESS or bitterness at all, stating we cannot be forgiven by our Father unless we forgive those who trespass against us. Here are a collection of verses of His words so stating that:

Note how in Luke’s Lord’s prayer Jesus puts in forgiving others

(Luke 11:2)  And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.

 

(Luke 11:3)  Give us day by day our daily bread.

 

(Luke 11:4)  And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.

 

He also does say that in the Lord’s prayer in Matthew but also adds the warning that if you don’t forgive then neither will you be forgiven of the Heavenly Father.

(Matthew 6:9)  After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

 

(Matthew 6:10)  Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

 

(Matthew 6:11)  Give us this day our daily bread.

 

(Matthew 6:12)  And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

 

(Matthew 6:13)  And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

 

(Matthew 6:14)  For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

 

(Matthew 6:15)  But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

 

In the following verses in Mark chapter 11 Jesus says those who pray in faith can move mountains – anything but also repeats the warning to forgive others so that you can be forgiven by the Heavenly Father for again if you don’t forgive He won’t forgive you

(Mark 11:22)  And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.

 

(Mark 11:23)  For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

 

(Mark 11:24)  Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

 

(Mark 11:25)  And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

 

(Mark 11:26)  But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.

 

In Luke chapter 17 then Jesus does warn that offenses will come and that we can rebuke in love but we are to forgive people too of them, even seven in a day’s time. If you do get rebuked for something you did please do repent.

(Luke 17:1)  Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!

 

(Luke 17:2)  It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.

 

(Luke 17:3)  Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.

 

(Luke 17:4)  And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.

 

Matthew chapter 18 contains powerful teachings by Jesus on the topic of forgiveness, and offenses again stating we can go to people who offend but we must forgive those who offend us as many times as needed – 70 times 7 in the reply by Jesus to Peter’s question on how many times to forgive but who is counting, and also Jesus tells the parable of how someone is forgiven a great big debt yet won’t forgive a small debtor. This parable is yet another warning by Jesus to forgive others so our Heavenly Father won’t be able to forgive us our trespasses, which if unforgiven will leave us out of heaven.

(Matthew 18:1)  At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

 

(Matthew 18:2)  And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,

 

(Matthew 18:3)  And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

 

(Matthew 18:4)  Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

 

(Matthew 18:5)  And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.

 

(Matthew 18:6)  But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

 

(Matthew 18:7)  Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!

 

(Matthew 18:8)  Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire.

 

(Matthew 18:9)  And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.

 

(Matthew 18:10)  Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.

 

(Matthew 18:11)  For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.

 

(Matthew 18:12)  How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?

 

(Matthew 18:13)  And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray.

 

(Matthew 18:14)  Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.

 

(Matthew 18:15)  Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.

 

(Matthew 18:16)  But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.

 

(Matthew 18:17)  And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.

 

(Matthew 18:18)  Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

 

(Matthew 18:19)  Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.

 

(Matthew 18:20)  For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

 

(Matthew 18:21)  Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?

 

(Matthew 18:22)  Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

 

(Matthew 18:23)  Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.

 

(Matthew 18:24)  And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.

 

(Matthew 18:25)  But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.

 

(Matthew 18:26)  The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

 

(Matthew 18:27)  Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.

 

(Matthew 18:28)  But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.

 

(Matthew 18:29)  And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

 

(Matthew 18:30)  And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.

 

(Matthew 18:31)  So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.

 

(Matthew 18:32)  Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:

 

(Matthew 18:33)  Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?

 

(Matthew 18:34)  And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.

 

(Matthew 18:35)  So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.

 

Here are some end times warnings related to the rapture first from Luke 12, then Matthew 24, then the three parables from Matthew 25 all of which contain warnings which must be heeded to make the rapture and sometimes to avoid outer darkness and more

I want people to be ready for the coming rapture and be rewarded for their  faithfulness to God  rather than fall away and be appointed His portion with the hypocrites above, and a very similar message is given below

(Luke 12:35)  Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;

 

(Luke 12:36)  And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.

 

(Luke 12:37)  Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.

 

(Luke 12:38)  And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.

 

(Luke 12:39)  And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.

 

(Luke 12:40)  Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.

 

(Luke 12:41)  Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all?

 

(Luke 12:42)  And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?

 

(Luke 12:43)  Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

 

(Luke 12:44)  Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.

 

(Luke 12:45)  But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;

 

(Luke 12:46)  The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.

 

(Luke 12:47)  And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.

 

(Luke 12:48)  But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more

 

But Jesus in Matthew 24 says ALL this which leads me to believe that the rapture may come at almost any time and to be prepared for it at any time. I know He can make the gospel come to the nations any way He may please including dreams, visions and even personal visitations by Jesus and let us pray for that to happen so all can hear the gospel as soon as possible. I am making myself available for His purposes too with this in mind as I also want to see souls won to the kingdom

(Matthew 24:30)  And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

 

(Matthew 24:31)  And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

 

(Matthew 24:32)  Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:

 

(Matthew 24:33)  So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.

 

(Matthew 24:34)  Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

 

(Matthew 24:35)  Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

 

(Matthew 24:36)  But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

 

(Matthew 24:37)  But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

 

(Matthew 24:38)  For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

 

(Matthew 24:39)  And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

 

(Matthew 24:40)  Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

 

(Matthew 24:41)  Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

 

(Matthew 24:42)  Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

 

(Matthew 24:43)  But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.

 

(Matthew 24:44)  Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

 

(Matthew 24:45)  Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?

 

(Matthew 24:46)  Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

 

(Matthew 24:47)  Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.

 

(Matthew 24:48)  But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;

 

(Matthew 24:49)  And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;

 

(Matthew 24:50)  The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,

 

(Matthew 24:51)  And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

 

Matthew 25 contains 3 parables which also give strong end times messages such as the parable of the five wise and foolish virgins, and also the parable of the talents and the judgment of the nations before Jesus.

(Matthew 25:1)  Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.

 

(Matthew 25:2)  And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.

 

(Matthew 25:3)  They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:

 

(Matthew 25:4)  But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

 

(Matthew 25:5)  While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

 

(Matthew 25:6)  And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.

 

(Matthew 25:7)  Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

 

(Matv 25:8)  And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.

 

(Matthew 25:9)  But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.

 

(Matthew 25:10)  And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.

 

(Matthew 25:11)  Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.

 

(Matthew 25:12)  But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.

 

(Matthew 25:13)  Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

 

(Matthew 25:14)  For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.

 

(Matthew 25:15)  And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.

 

(Matthew 25:16)  Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.

 

(Matthew 25:17)  And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.

 

(Matthew 25:18)  But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.

 

(Matthew 25:19)  After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.

 

(Matthew 25:20)  And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.

 

(Matthew 25:21)  His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

 

(Matthew 25:22)  He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.

 

(Matthew 25:23)  His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

 

(Matthew 25:24)  Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:

 

(Matthew 25:25)  And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.

 

(Matthew 25:26)  His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:

 

(Matthew 25:27)  Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.

 

(Matthew 25:28)  Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.

 

(Matthew 25:29)  For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.

 

(Matthew 25:30)  And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

 

(Matthew 25:31)  When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:

 

(Matthew 25:32)  And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:

 

(Matthew 25:33)  And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

 

(Matthew 25:34)  Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

 

(Matthew 25:35)  For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

 

(Matthew 25:36)  Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

 

(Matthew 25:37)  Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

 

(Matthew 25:38)  When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?

 

(Matthew 25:39)  Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

 

(Matthew 25:40)  And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

 

(Matthew 25:41)  Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

 

(Matthew 25:42)  For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:

 

(Matthew 25:43)  I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

 

(Matthew 25:44)  Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

 

(Matthew 25:45)  Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.

 

(Matthew 25:46)  And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

 

Lastly I am including three churches in Revelation which Jesus directed John to send these warning letters which I am led ALL apply to today’s churches. These are to Ephesus who lost the first love, Sardis who is a dead church(I have felt them where there is very little to no Holy Spirit presence in the service today), and perhaps worst and most applicable Laodicea who was lukewarm as many Christians are today.

First up is the passage of scripture relating to losing the first love in Revelation chapter 2, this written to the Ephesian church, a church who has left its first love and Jesus urges them to repent or they will lose their candlestick

(Revelation 2:1)  Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;

 

(Revelation 2:2)  I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:

 

(Revelation 2:3)  And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.

 

(Revelation 2:4)  Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.

 

(Revelation 2:5)  Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.

 

(Revelation 2:6)  But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.

 

(Revelation 2:7)  He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

 

Next up, now in Revelation chapter 3, is the church of Sardis, who are soundly rebuked for being a dead church and are encouraged to pick up the parts that remain alive and repent, and those who overcome are promised to walk with Jesus with white robes

(Revelation 3:1)  And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.

 

(Revelation 3:2)  Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.

 

(Revelation 3:3)  Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.

 

(Revelation 3:4)  Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.

 

(Revelation 3:5)  He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

 

(Revelation 3:6)  He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

 

The final church presented here is the church of Laodicea, whom are lukewarm, and Jesus hates that, and encourages them to repent of this lukewarm nature or be spit out of His mouth but He does give the promise that any overcomers will be able to set with Jesus on His throne, too

(Revelation 3:14)  And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;

 

(Revelation 3:15)  I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.

 

(Revelation 3:16)  So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

 

(Revelation 3:17)  Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

 

(Revelation 3:18)  I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

 

(Revelation 3:19)  As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

 

(Revelation 3:20)  Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

 

(Revelation 3:21)  To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

 

(Revelation 3:22)  He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

 

Here is still more information on the coming rapture to conclude this teaching

Here now are more prophecies and information concerning the coming rapture:

I honestly believe God has been showing me recently that the rapture is coming sooner and not later as some believe, but we cannot predict the day or the hour but we are to keep doing our part, keeping a good relationship with Him and winning souls until God the Father tells the angels to blow the trumpet and sends Jesus to gather up His children to Him, and so I am adding a presentation with more information on the rapture and end times, for the day of the Lord’s coming will be as a thief in the night and it is necessary for all to be prepared for this always.

Now is a good time to draw near to the Lord and be reading His word, forgiving ALL offenses done against you, asking for God and or others help if need be for I sense Satan is holding many in the bonds of unforgiveness, and more, for I have gotten together a number of prophetic messages both of my own- by dreams and more and from other sources. I do not want anyone to miss this coming rapture for earth will be hell during the tribulation period so now I present information on the rapture and events related below:

 

ARE ALL CHRISTIANS GOING IN THE RAPTURE???

ARE YOU SURE YOU ARE READY???

This seems to be one of the hot topics on 5 Doves recently, so I feel it is time that I forward one of my tracts that I wrote about 12 years ago, with several hundred thousand in circulation. For those of you who believe that ALL Christians will be taken in the Rapture, I hope and pray that you are right. On the other hand, if one believes that way, and feels no need to change his backslidden, lukewarm, compromising, unwatchful, worldly, or fence-straddling ways, WOE BE UNTO HIM, if he suddenly finds the Rapture happened and he was left behind.


Isn't it much safer to get as close to the Lord as we can in these VERY LAST DAYS? Is there any negative in doing that??? It is much safer and wiser to believe that all Christians are NOT going in the Rapture. Not only safer and wiser, but I believe MORE SCRIPTURAL, also. Following is the tract that I wrote:


Are All Christians going in the Rapture? If, at some point in your life, you have asked Jesus Christ into your life to become your personal Lord and Saviour, does this GUARANTEE that you are going in the Rapture? All signs point to the END OF THE AGE VERY SOON, SO THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION YOU COULD ASK YOURSELF IS, "AM I READY FOR THE RAPTURE?"



Before we go any further, let's clarify what the RAPTURE is. I Thessalonians 4:16-17 says, "For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and so shall we ever be with the Lord."



The Rapture is the GREAT ESCAPE from the horrendous Tribulation period that is SOON to come on ALL THE WORLD! It is for a body of born-again believers in Jesus Christ. The question is IS THE RAPTURE FOR ALL CHRISTIANS?



It is probably safe to say that a majority of Chlristians reading this tract would say "YES". We are NOT addressing the issue of salvation, or "once saved, always saved," or "eternal security". For those of you who answered "Yes", CAN YOU FIND EVEN ONE SCRIPTURE THAT GUARANTEES THAT ALL CHRISTIANS ARE GOING IN THE RAPTURE? Scripture points to the fact that all will NOT be making it to the rapture.



Just because you have always believed something, or your Pastor believes it, or your church teaches it, DOES NOT MAKE IT TRUE! IT MUST BE BASED ON THE WORD OF GOD! It is our fervent desire that ALL CHRISTIANS are going in the Rapture. If ALL CHRISTIANS are going in the Rapture, we have lost nothing by drawing closer to the Lord to prepare for His Soon Return. If, on the other hand, we have a false sense of security regarding our readiness for the Rapture, and we ignore the Lord's warnings to GET OUR HEARTS RIGHT WITH HIM BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE, we have a TREMENDOUS amount to lose. Just read the Book of Revelation!



"Lord, your Word is awesome. Lord, your Word is powerful. Lord, your Word is sharper than any two-edged sword. Lord, use the convicting power of the word of the Living God and the convicting power of your mighty Holy Spirit to reveal to every one of us the Truth from your Word. If the message of this tract is not true, then cause it to have no effect on the hearts of those reading it. If, however, the message from your Word IS true, we ask you to release an outpouring of your Holy Spirit on Christians everywhere. For those who are not spiritually ready, cut to the very bottom of their heart and REMOVE THAT FALSE SENSE OF SECUITTY IN THE NAME OF JESUS! AMEN."



Your opinion, and my opinion, do not matter. What you have been taught does not matter. WHAT DOES THE WORD OF GOD SAY? This is ALL that really matters. The remainder of this tract will be WARNINGS DIRECTLY FROM THE WORD OF GOD CONCERNING YOUR READINESS FOR THE RAPTURE! (If YOU are ready, that's wonderful, but how about your family, your friends, and those who sit in the church pews around you?)



In Luke 21, the whole chapter is discussing the End of the Age and the Second Coming of Christ. In verses 34-36, JESUS GIVES AN OMINOUS WARNING TO ALL CHRISTIANS, "and TAKE HEED TO YOURSELVES, lest at any time YOUR HEARTS be over-charged with surfeiting (partying), and drunkenness, AND CARES OF THIS LIFE, and so THAT DAY COME UPON YOU UNAWARES. For as a snare (trap) shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. 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 (Jesus)."



If ALL Christians were going to take part in this GREAT ESCAPE, WHY WOULD JESUS GIVE SUCH A STERN AND OMINOUS WARNING TO THE END-TIME CHRISTIAN??? This is DEFINITELY a very PERSONAL WARNING for each of us. The subject matter can be nothing but the Tribulation hour and the Rapture. Jesus says to pray always. Surely, Jesus knows that a non-Christian cannot be in an attitude of constant prayer. Surely, non-Christians are not expected to be LOOKING FOR THAT DAY and WATCHING for signs of His Soon Return.



Jesus is continuously talking to HIS FOLLOWERS throughout this chapter. Jesus says to TAKE HEED TO YOURSELF, He is addressing YOUR HEART and He is constantly personalizing this message to YOU, to YE, THE CHRISTIAN! ARE YOU LISTENING? ARE YOU READY???



What can we do, as Christians, to be found WORTHY of the Lord's GREAT ESCAPE, THE RAPTURE? Jesus tells us to be in a constant attitude of prayer. Become so close to the Lord that you can talk with Him about anything. Pray that the Lord would reveal to YOU anything in your life that might keep you from being ready for the Rapture. Then you need to act upon that which the Lord shows you to do.



In this passage, the Lord strongly encourages us to be WATCHING for the SIGNS of His Soon Return, so that we would not be UNAWARE of the approximate time of His Return. Jesus said we could KNOW when His Return was NEAR, EVEN AT THE DOORS! ALL SIGNS NOW CONFIRM TO US THAT HIS COMING IS AT THE DOOR!!!



If you do not have this firm conviction in your heart that our Lord's Return is AT THE DOOR, it is probably because you have not been WATCHING for signs as He continuously admonishes us to do over and over again in the New Testament (Read Mark 13 and 14). Are the CARES OF THIS LIFE your priority, or do you so much look forward to His Return that YOU LOVE HIS APPEARING (II Timothy 4:8) more than the things of this life?

(2 Timothy 4:8)  Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

 

The CARES OF THIS LIFE (Luke 21:34) are what cause us to become "worldly" Christians, or "backslidden" Christians, or "lukewarm" Christians. Luke 21:34-36 (Go back and read it again) strongly implies that these types of Christians ARE NOT READY FOR THE RAPTURE!!!
(Luke 21:34)  And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.

 

(Luke 21:35)  For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.

 

(Luke 21:36)  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.

 

In Revelation, starting with Chapter 6, the horrible judgments of the Tribulation are poured out on an unsuspecting world. In Chapters 1-3, there are several WARNINGS TO THE CHRISTIANS IN THE LAST DAYS, WARNINGS BEFORE THE RAPTURE AND THE TRIBULATION IN CHAPTERS 6-19.



The constant theme of Revelation, Chapter 2, is the NEED OF THE END-TIME CHRISTIAN TO REPENT! Rev. 2: 4-5 says, "I have somewhat against thee, because THOU HAS LEFT THY FIRST LOVE. Remember, therefore, from whence thou are fallen, AND REPENT, and do the first works; or else I WILL COME UNTO THEE QUICKLY, AND WILL REMOVE THY CANDLESTICK OUT OF HIS PLACE, EXCEPT THOU REPENT."



If you HAVE LEFT YOUR FIRST LOVE you are a "backslidden" Christian. You need to REPENT and restore your relationship with Christ back to what it should be. Is the Lord speaking to YOUR HEART RIGHT NOW?



Rev. 3:10 says, "Because thou has kept the word of my patience, I ALSO WILL KEEP THEE FROM THE HOUR OF TEMPTATION, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth." The implication of this verse is obvious: If the end-time Christian does NOT stay close to the Lord and endure to the end, HE WILL NOT BE KEPT FROM THE TRIBULATION HOUR!



Rev. 3: 15-16 is ANOTHER OMINOUS WARNING TO ALL CHRISTIANS, "I know thy works, that thou are neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then BECAUSE THOU ART LUKEWARM, AND NEITHER COLD NOT HOT, I WILL SPUE THEE OUT OF MY MOUTH."



Can you honestly give another explanation for this verse, other than the LORD CASTING LUKEWARM CHRISTIANS OUT INTO THE TRIBULATION? What are YOU doing that would show the Lord that you are ON FIRE for Him? These verses say emphatically that their WORKS WERE LUKEWARM.



What happens to the unwatchful SERVANT who believes his LORD is not coming back for a while and is not that concerned about the way he is living his life? Matthew 24: 50-51 says, "the LORD of that SERVANT...shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth (The Tribulation Hour?)." In Matthew 25:30, we see the exact same result for the unprofitable SERVANT. In both cases, there is A LORD--SERVANT RELATIONSHIP ALREADY ESTABLISHED. ARE ALL CHRISTIANS GOING IN THE RAPTURE? WHAT DOES THE WORD SAY???



This world is full of LUKEWARM, BACKSLIDDEN, UNWATCHFUL, AND WORLDLY Christians. In Rev. 7:9, we see a GREAT MULTITUDE, that no man could number, standing before the Lamb of God in Heaven. Verse 14 describes them, "These are they which came OUT OF GREAT TRIBULATION, AND HAVE WASHED THEIR ROBES, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb." In Chapter 20, it says they were beheaded for not taking the Mark of the Beast.



This great multitude of people already had robes. Your Robe of righteousness is given to you at the time of your salvation. They were already saved but their ROBES WERE DIRTY. These COMPROMISING Christians were caught up in the CARES OF THE WORLD when the Rapture happened and they were cast into the Tribulation hour like the Scriptures had warned them about so many times. They WASHED THEIR DIRTY ROBES in the Great Tribulation because there is no compromise then---IT'S EITHER JESUS CHRIST (and lose your head) OR ANTICHRIST (and lose your soul FOREVER)!!!



Do you really want to have to face that choice? It is clear from God's Word what you must do to be assured of a place in the Rapture. YOU MUST ACT QUICKLY BECAUSE THE TIME FOR THE RAPTURE IS ALMOST HERE!



1. Make sure that you have received Jesus Christ into your life as your PERSONAL Lord and Saviour. If you do find you need Him to be your personal Lord and Saviour please pray the following prayer with me. There is nothing that can compare with a relationship with God or even come remotely close

Heavenly Father I come to You in the Name of Jesus. I confess to You that I am a sinner and cannot save myself. I confess and repent of all of my sins and unrighteousness. Right now I confess with my mouth Jesus as the Lord of my life and believe in my heart that You, God did indeed raise Him from the dead. I thank You for cleansing and forgiving me of all of my sins and unrighteousness and for saving me. I thank You for sending Your Son to die in my place for my sins, and for the inexpressible gift of eternal life that I now claim through the death of Jesus on the cross. Thank You, Lord, again for saving me. In the Name of Jesus I pray Amen

2. Examine your own heart for any signs of backsliding, worldliness, unwatchfulness, compromising, and lukewarmness.



3. REPENT (Turn COMPLETELY away from sin and turn COMPLETELY around towards Jesus). Sin separates you from God, even as a Christian. Feel free to use the following prayer, praying it with me

Heavenly Father I confess these sins(list them) to You and say I am sorry I did these things, doing so by faith thanking You for Your promise in Your word that when we confess our sins You are faithful and just to forgive them and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Thank You for forgiving all my sins and breaking all demonic oppressions, bondages, and strongholds behind them and deliverance from temptation. In Jesus Name I pray Amen



4. Study end-time Biblical prophecy until you become completely convinced that His Coming is, indeed, AT THE DOOR. This will help keep you from temptation and sin. JESUS IS COMING VERY SOON!!! The book of Revelation, Matthew 24, 25, Mark 13, Luke 12, 17, 21 are good places to start.



5. Do something for the Lord. (Passing out tracts would be a good start.)



6. Examine your priorities, lest the CARES OF THIS LIFE cause YOU to MISS THE RAPTURE, as we are so adamantly WARNED about in Luke 21, and so many other Scriptures.



7. Draw closer to God by praying, reading His Word, attending a fundamental church as often as possible, and surround yourself with a Christian atmosphere (Christian friends, books, music, radio, TV, etc.)



8. PRAY DILIGENTLY. ASK THE LORD TO REVEAL TO YOU ANYTHING IN YOUR LIFE THAT EVEN MIGHT KEEP YOU FROM THE RAPTURE. PRAY THAT THE LORD WOULD GIVE YOU A PEACE, IF YOU ARE READY, AND AN UNREST AND UNEASINESS IN YOUR HEART, IF YOU ARE NOT READY.



9. Listen for His voice and then STAY OPEN TO THE LEADING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.



10. Act upon that which the Lord is calling you to do. DO IT NOW BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!



If the Lord has planted the least bit of doubt or uneasiness in your heart, will you swallow your pride and pray this prayer with me:



"Dear Lord, Thank you for preparing a WAY OF ESCAPE from the horrible Tribulation to come. It is my sincere desire to be ready for your Soon Return, so that I can participate in the Rapture. Give me a COMPLETE PEACE IN MY HEART FROM YOU if I am, indeed, ready.

Let there be no false sense of security in my heart concerning my readiness for Your Return. Begin to reveal to me things in my life and in my heart that might keep me from the Rapture. Show me what I need to do to BE READY and then give me the power to act upon that which you show me to do. Draw me away from the world and closer to you every day. Use me in whatever way you can to help others who may not be ready for your Return. Fill me with your peace when I am ready and fill me with YOUR POWER, for victory over sin and temptation, and for effective service for your kingdom. In Jesus' mighty name, Amen."

The words of the Lord that He would leave with you in these last days before His Return, "REMEMBER THEREFORE, HOW THOU HAST RECEIVED AND HEARD, AND HOLD FAST, AND REPENT. IF THEREFORE, THOW SHALT NOT WATCH, I WILL COME ON THEE AS A THIEF, AND THOU SHALT NOT KNOW WHAT HOUR I WILL COME UPON THEE." (Revelation 3:3)



Feel free to make copies of this tract or forward it to your backslidden, lukewarm, compromising, unwatchful, and worldly family members and friends. Do not delay. Time is short. What we do, we must do quickly now.



Maranatha!



God bless you and yours
