GUIDELINES FOR CHURCH GOERS WHO MISS THE RAPTURE OF THE SAINTS
Key Verse: Matthew 22:14
- Mat 22 :14 Car il y a beaucoup d’appelés, mais peu d’élus.
- Mat 22:14 “For many are called, but few are chosen.”
INTRODUCTION
- It is not with an easy heart that I am preaching this message today.
- Imagine some students who have been together since kindergarten all the way High School and then come the State exam.
- While all of them may have had expectations about their futures, their higher education, their careers, their dreams and aspirations.
- We all know that reality will strike after the result of Government exam and many will be disappointed.
- Some will be bewildered because they did not have a plan B.
- Some will be consumed with anger, sorrow, and greives not knowing another route to get their intended destination.
- It is animated by that spirit that I am preaching this message today.
- It is a wishful thinking to hope that our entire church body will make it at the rapture.
- I have deep love church people and I love all of you.
- Some of you are the best bodies; some of you have rendered great services to the believers and to this church.
- Some of you have been nice to Christians but you never took God seriously.
- Some of you have been loyal members of the local church but never cared to secure your membership in the universal Church of Jesus Christ.
- If you are a member of this church, you will surely be missed, if you don’t make it at the rapture.
- Any congregation that averages 90%, or even 80%, or even 70% at the rapture will be considered blessed.
- Jesus was very candid to let us know that many of the expectants will miss the rapture.
MANY ARE CALLED BUT FEW ARE CHOSEN (Mt 22:14)
- Many professed Christians will miss the rapture because of disqualifications.
- Some will miss the rapture for their evil deeds.(Rev 22)
- Some will miss the rapture because of their idleness. (Mat 25)
- Some will miss the rapture because of their indifferences toward God.
- They were neither hot nor cold.
- Re 3:16 “So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.
- 16 Ainsi, parce que tu es tiède, et que tu n’es ni froid ni bouillant, je te vomirai de ma bouche.
- Ro 11:21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, He may not spare you either.
- 21 car si Dieu n’a pas épargné les branches naturelles, il ne t’épargnera pas non plus.
TEN VIRGINS: FIVE WERE WISE AND FIVE WERE FOOLISH
- Mt 25:1 ¶ “Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.
- 1 ¶ Alors le royaume des cieux sera semblable à dix vierges qui, ayant pris leurs lampes, allèrent à la rencontre de l’époux.
- Mt 25:10 “And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut.
- 10 Pendant qu’elles allaient en acheter, l’époux arriva; celles qui étaient prêtes entrèrent avec lui dans la salle des noces, et la porte fut fermée.
- 11 “Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’
- 11 Plus tard, les autres vierges vinrent, et dirent: Seigneur, Seigneur, ouvre-nous.
- 12 “But he answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.’
- 12 Mais il répondit: Je vous le dis en vérité, je ne vous connais pas.
THE SERVANTS WAITING FOR THEIR MASTER
- Lu 12:36- 38
“and you yourselves be like men who wait for their master, when he will return from the wedding, that when he comes and knocks they may open to him immediately.
- 36 Et vous, soyez semblables à des hommes qui attendent que leur maître revienne des noces, afin de lui ouvrir dès qu’il arrivera et frappera.
- 37 “Blessed are those servants whom the master, when he comes, will find watching. Assuredly, I say to you that he will gird himself and have them sit down to eat, and will come and serve them.
- 37 Heureux ces serviteurs que le maître, à son arrivée, trouvera veillant! Je vous le dis en vérité, il se ceindra, les fera mettre à table, et s’approchera pour les servir.
- 38 “And if he should come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
- 38 Qu’il arrive à la deuxième ou à la troisième veille, heureux ces serviteurs, s’il les trouve veillant!
THE WHEAT AND THE TARES TO BE SEPARATED AT THE HARVEST
- Mt 13:24-30
- 24 ¶ Il leur proposa une autre parabole, et il dit: Le royaume des cieux est semblable à un homme qui a semé une bonne semence dans son champ.
- 25 Mais, pendant que les gens dormaient, son ennemi vint, sema de l’ivraie parmi le blé, et s’en alla.
- 26 Lorsque l’herbe eut poussé et donné du fruit, l’ivraie parut aussi.
- 27 Les serviteurs du maître de la maison vinrent lui dire: Seigneur, n’as-tu pas semé une bonne semence dans ton champ? D’où vient donc qu’il y a de l’ivraie?
- 28 Il leur répondit: C’est un ennemi qui a fait cela. Et les serviteurs lui dirent: Veux-tu que nous allions l’arracher?
- 29 Non, dit-il, de peur qu’en arrachant l’ivraie, vous ne déraciniez en même temps le blé.
- 30 Laissez croître ensemble l’un et l’autre jusqu’à la moisson, et, à l’époque de la moisson, je dirai aux moissonneurs: Arrachez d’abord l’ivraie, et liez-la en gerbes pour la brûler, mais amassez le blé dans mon grenier.
THE UNUSEFUL SERVANT THROWN OUT FOR IDLENESS
- Mt 25:24- 30
- 24 Celui qui n’avait reçu qu’un talent s’approcha ensuite, et il dit: Seigneur, je savais que tu es un homme dur, qui moissonnes où tu n’as pas semé, et qui amasses où tu n’as pas vanné;
- 25 j’ai eu peur, et je suis allé cacher ton talent dans la terre; voici, prends ce qui est à toi.
- 26 Son maître lui répondit: Serviteur méchant et paresseux, tu savais que je moissonne où je n’ai pas semé, et que j’amasse où je n’ai pas vanné;
- 27 il te fallait donc remettre mon argent aux banquiers, et, à mon retour, j’aurais retiré ce qui est à moi avec un intérêt.
- 28 Otez-lui donc le talent, et donnez-le à celui qui a les dix talents.
- 29 Car on donnera à celui qui a, et il sera dans l’abondance, mais à celui qui n’a pas on ôtera même ce qu’il a.
- 30 Et le serviteur inutile, jetez-le dans les ténèbres du dehors, où il y aura des pleurs et des grincements de dents.
NOT ALL WHO SAY LORD, LORD WILL ENTER IN HEAVEN
- Mt 7:21-23
- 21 ¶ Ceux qui me disent: Seigneur, Seigneur! n’entreront pas tous dans le royaume des cieux, mais celui-là seul qui fait la volonté de mon Père qui est dans les cieux.
- 22 Plusieurs me diront en ce jour-là: Seigneur, Seigneur, n’avons-nous pas prophétisé par ton nom? n’avons-nous pas chassé des démons par ton nom? et n’avons-nous pas fait beaucoup de miracles par ton nom?
- 23 Alors je leur dirai ouvertement: Je ne vous ai jamais connus, retirez-vous de moi, vous qui commettez l’iniquité.
- Mt 7:21 ¶ “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.
- 22 “Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’
- 23 “And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’
- MANY WILL MISS THE RAPTURE BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF THE RAPTURE
- The rapture will occur at an unexpected time
- The rapture will happen in the least expected time.
- The rapture will be a swift operation
- The rapture will only affect concerned individuals not groups.
Mt 24:40 “Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left.
Mt 24:41 “Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left.
Mt 24:40 Alors, de deux hommes qui seront dans un champ, l’un sera pris et l’autre laissé;
41 de deux femmes qui moudront à la meule, l’une sera prise et l’autre laissée.

GUIDELINES FOR CHURCH GOERS WHO ASPIRE A SECOND CHANCE WITH GOD AFTER THE RAPTURE.

4- Look to relocate in other parts of the world where the New World Order is delayed to come to full compliance.
5- Pray, fast, lament to God for mercy
6- Seek holiness at all costs and not personal safety.
7- Know your time table. After the rapture everything will fall in exact sequence.
8- Watch what is going on with the nation of Israel and follow world news closely.
9- Grow your own garden if you can so that you can survive outside of the system.
10- If you don’t want to go through all these ordeals. Start a serious walk with God right now and make it in the first trip to heaven.
- Re 22:14-15 Heureux ceux qui lavent leurs robes, afin d’avoir droit à l’arbre de vie, et d’entrer par les portes dans la ville!
- 15 Dehors les chiens, les enchanteurs, les impudiques, les meurtriers, les idolâtres, et quiconque aime et pratique le mensonge!
- The rapture is for real and the disappointment of those who missed the rapture is also for real.
- May God add His blessings upon His Word.
- Que ceux qui ont des Oreilles pour entendre, entendent!
