Come Quickly Lord Jesus

Ray Evans • May 01, 2020
Most people praying for Christ's return are looking forward to spending eternity in heaven visiting loved ones...I'm not one of those people, for a couple of reasons.

First, "Heaven" is not sitting on a cloud with a harp, partying with friends or living in a mansion.  "Heaven" is not like the movies; "mansion" (mone) is only mentioned once.  It means "a staying," not a 20,000 sq ft estate in Beverly Hills.

The only thing supported by scripture is that we will enter into God's rest and "sleep" until judgement.

Do Not Be Deceived:  "It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgement;" (Hebrews 9:27)  Scripture says nothing about partying with loved ones.

However, "sleep" is a good thing, (for reasons we don't have space to explain here) just not how preachers or the movies depict "heaven." 

Of course, their job is to fill the pews and theater seats...and "sleep" doesn't make for a good movie or sermon topic.

Next, Jesus is not coming on a white horse to take all the "good" people to heaven.  It was the unrighteous taken in the flood, not the righteous.  Noah stayed to begin again. 

What does the Bible say about the end of the age?  "Just as it was in the days of Noe?"  Unless you're prepared physically, as was Noah, you will simply die in the tribulation. 

Life, as you know it, will just be over.  A new life in "heaven?"  Not likely.  It was never God's plan for us to live, die and go to heaven.  His plan was for us to enjoy his creation for eternity.  His plan hasn't changed, just delayed.

For those who endure the tribulation, there's a new world coming...a thousand years of peace on earth. 

God has always provided a "goat," a sacrificial replacement, (hence the word "scapegoat") to fulfill his purpose (Proverbs 21:18).  In a little while, when God rains fire on the earth at the end of the age...the "goats" (the wicked, evil and unrepentant) will be gone, as a ransom for the righteous who will remain..."Just as it was in the days of Noe." 

Oh glorious day!  Come quickly Lord Jesus.

Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth

Believing in the "Rapture" relieves you of the responsibility to do anything except believe in Jesus...who will magically whisk you away to heaven. It's a lie, designed to keep you from preparing or being prepared for what's coming.
Job 32:9 Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.

A lot of well-known and well-respected preachers talk about how long they have been preaching, as if the longer one preaches the more qualified one is to preach.
Job 28:28 And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom

This may seem a strange question, but it never ceases to amaze me how few people allow God to play an active role in their daily lives. Why anyone would not want the creator of the universe to help them every second, every minute and every hour of every day, is simply beyond me.
Psalms 15:1 Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?
By Ray Evans 06 May, 2020
The question in Psalms 15, "Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle?" probably has as many answers as there are preachers, but they all stem from a common belief: "Everyone who believes in Jesus goes to heaven." Sounds great, but is it true?
