06/24/2025 In the last few weeks, with the turmoil in Israel and consideration of potential “World War III” regarding Iran, there has been much more attention turned on to the prophecies of the Bible that point to the apocalypse. In that attention given to the book of Revelation and to the concept of “wars and rumours of wars”, its been a good journey to reflect on being ready for Jesus’ return. There was a word preached on Sunday that was really good on anticipating how to be prepared for Jesus’ return. We have a lot to endure before He can come, and I believe the man of lawlessness has to be revealed before the rapture because of this passage in 2 Thessalonians 2:3 “…for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction.”

That verse shows clearly that the anti-Christ comes before the rapture of the bride. But many people believe that the rapture is emminent. I am not an expert on this, but I do believe the tribulation is on its way, the anti-Christ’s appearance to us, and also the need for every soul to hear the gospel without delay! Then we will be raptured up with Christ! Here is a link to a good movie, that portrays an idea of some believers who endure tribulation, and in the film a rapture had already occurred, but the idea that stuck with my family and I was that there are those who will endure and will see Scripture fulfilled in the coming of Jesus Christ. Here is the link to the free video on youtube: Hope you enjoy the film 🙂 God’s speed!
