* SIGN OF THE TIMES: WHO IS JESUS COMING FOR?

Not so long ago right in the midst of a service the Lord stepped in to tell me to tell people who he is and that he is coming soon.  We continued always with the preaching, teaching, healing, and more, but the focus shifted to the Lord’s coming soon.  Over the years he shared more and more – directly and through other means.

Over and over he spoke of his CHURCH.  “Help me find my CHURCH” is one of his words to me.  And I have tried.  Jesus’ CHURCH is that group of people on earth who truly believe in him, who have him as their Lord.  It has nothing to do with what denomination or local church they belong to or where they are on earth.  The members of Jesus’ CHURCH are currently working on ships at sea, building houses in difficult areas, cleaning up the streets of cities after riots, working to feed those who have no food, raising families, crossing the desert on a camel, fishing the bayous of Louisiana, riding a horse herding cattle in Argentina, sitting in a pub in London.  You don’t know where they all are, do you?  One thing – they truly know and believe the Lord.  They do what he says.  They have that new spirit in them that comes with being born again.  They are guided by the Holy Spirit.  They operate in the authority and gifts the Lord has given them.

Soon – and by that I mean incredibly soon – Jesus will come to get them.  It has really been long enough hasn’t it?  Almost too long for the believers.  But God knows the moment.  And suddenly the Lord will be here.  A trumpet blast!  A shout!  Angels sent out to collect the CHURCH.

And in all the places I just mentioned above and countless more people will just disappear.  In neighborhoods people will realize one or two of their members haven’t been seen for a while.  In individual church buildings the same will happen.  In some of those churches nothing will change and no one may notice.  In others several may depart.

Remember the Lord’s words about the numbers. “…wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. (Mt 7:13-14)” It will not be a great percentage of the people, not a great number. Years ago I researched the meaning of the word translated “few” there.  I looked at the original Greek of the New Testament, at least as original as I could get.  And here is the conclusion: The word translated “few” means in fact “few.”  That’s it.  Few.

Remember what the Lord said shortly after that point: “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.(Mt 7:21)” Jesus did not mince words.  He made it clear.

So the few will be gone, however many that is.  Soon.  Incredibly soon.  Remember my sharing the message I got not long ago – we only have hours.  Well, that is where we are.  Just don’t know how many of those hours we have.
