Takeaways
Beliefs
- There are different understandings about the timing of the ‘rapture’, however there is more agreement that the glorified saints are with the Messiah when He returns.
1Th 3:13
We may not all agree on the exact timing of the ‘rapture’ until it happens. - Similarly, there are different understandings about the 1,000 years; however there is agreement about judgement and eternal condemnation at the Messiah’s return. Again we will find out if it is the final judgment or if there is 2nd judgement after 1,000 years.
- In the parable of the faithful and wicked servants, it is worth noting that when the Master returns:
- the ‘faithful servant’ is the one who stays and rules for the Master.
- the ‘one taken’ is the one who is killed and has eternal condemnation.
Actions:
- There is agreement about helping people into the kingdom before the Messiah returns.
- Whatever your end times beliefs are, it is still worthwhile reading the prophetic scriptures and working out how you think they could be fulfilled.
The word of Yahweh does not return empty! Isa 55:11 - Jesus and Paul told believers to watch, be ready and to not be deceived.
