For days now the media and so many people have been
enthralled by the missing jetliner from Malaysia. About 250 people or so and a giant airplane
just vanished out of earth’s communication and monitoring systems several days
ago. And up to now all the talents and
skills of the modern world have not found it.
Now of course this is a horribly sad event for all the
families and friends of those on that plane.
And we all should pray for their peace in this entire affair.
But there is a greater lesson and insight for all of
us. Look at how the world and media is
following this, how surprised and shocked and intrigued. And this is just for about 250 people and one
plane disappearing.
What will it be like very soon when Jesus comes in a cloud
with a loud shout, the voice of the archangel, and the trumpet call of God, and
the members of his CHURCH leave this earth and join him in the clouds? What will that be like? We have written and discussed from time to
time the issue of just how many will be going with the Lord in that instant
when he comes to gather up his followers, as described very succinctly in 1
Thessalonians 4:16-17. It will surely be
more than those on this Malaysian airplane.
I think we can put to rest some of those writers who have
wondered if the world would even notice those leaving in God’s “rapture,” that
the government would just cover it up with some type of scientific
explanation. I think we can say for sure
the population will be shocked and perplexed and seeking answers and following
the television news daily. Your friends
and relatives who do not know the Lord then will be part of that. They will be shocked. And I expect scared. And hopefully the shock and surprise will
cause them to seek answers in the right place, and God will use that event to
lead even more people to Jesus.
We have just been given a first-hand demonstration of what
it might be like on earth after the rapture.
Just imagine the reaction when the missing people are not just from one
airplane leaving Malaysia but from every nation and state and city.
Soon. You cannot get
away from the fact that Jesus is returning very soon. And gathering away his saints is part of
that. It’s almost like this airplane is
another warning. The time is short.
Keep
Your Eyes on Jesus!
