Christianity is a belief that is based on faith and believes that God is the Creator.
So,
the authors of the Bible used faith as the main topic in the Bible for
many times to remind the believers that they should always keep and use
their faith, so as to have a right relationship with God; to be called
righteousness in front of God; and to have various blessings promised by
God.
Romans 10:9; Romans 5:1;John 3:18
If
we wish to be pleased by God, we need to have the faith so as to
fulfill the conditions of the promises of God’s Words. Taking actions
can prove that you have faith.
Hebrew 11:1-2; Mark 11:24
Moreover,
in the end of days, the Book of Revelation predicted the time that the
wrath of God will be descended to punish the people on earth. All
Christians will be caught up to heaven first and be with God; they don’t
need to experience the great disasters. For
those who can be caught up to heaven, other than the basic criterion
that they should be the Christians, they also need to be watchful, to
believe that God will come at any time in this sinful generation. As sonsof theday, they will not be judged as the people on earth, but indeed they will be saved by faith and to escape from God’s wrath. 1 Thessalonians5:1-2, 8-0 The
first one talked about the rapture before the disaster mentioned above.
They believe that all the Christians and the Christians who are
watchful will be caught up to heaven and escape from God’s wrath. The
third one is the rapture after the disasters. Basically, they believe
that no one can escape from God’s wrath and judgment. All the people
will experience the great disasters together. For those who do not die
in the disasters, they can enter the Kingdom of God in the
Millennium prepared by God. Zechariah 14:16 Indeed,
Pastor Wind have mentioned in the previous sermons that people will be
caught up to heaven before the rapture, in the middle of the rapture and
after the rapture.
Revelation 12:5
There
are also people who will be caught up to heaven in the middle of the
disasters. Just like the parable of the Ten Virgins that Jesus
mentioned, for those virgins who are sleeping, some of them have prepare
the oil, some of them are not. For those clever one who have prepared
the oil, although they will experience the disasters for a short period
of time when the disasters happened, they can be caught up to heaven
later.
For those foolish virgins who do not prepare oil, they will suffer in the disasters. Indeed,
when will you choose for the rapture? Is it in the middle of the
disasters, after the disasters or you will be a watchful Christians, who
believe that you will be caught up to heaven before the disasters and
escape from God’s wrath?
That
if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your
heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, wehave peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Whoever
believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands
condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one
and only Son.
Hebrew 11:6:
And
without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes
to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who
earnestly seek him.
1.Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
2.This is what the ancients were commended for.
Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
1.Now, brothers, about times and dates we do not need to write to you,
2.for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.
8.
But since we belong to the day, let us be self-controlled, putting on
faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet.
9. For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.
There are three teachings about the rapture in the present theology.
The
second one is the rapture in the middle of the disaster. They believe
that those believers need to experience the great disasters with the
people on earth together for a period of time. For those who pass
various tests in the disasters and still keep loving God, they will be
caught up to heaven by God. They believe this because there are verses
in the Bible talked about the rapture in the middle of the disasters.
One of the examples is the 144,000 people.
Revelation 7: 4, 13-14
4. Then I heard the number of those who were sealed: 144,000 from all the tribes of Israel.
13. Then one of the elders asked me, "These in white robes--who are they, and where did they come from?"
14.answered,
"Sir, you know." And he said, "These are they who have come out of the
great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in
the blood of the Lamb.
Then
the survivors from all the nations that have attacked Jerusalem will go
up year after year to worship the King, the LORD Almighty, and to
celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles.
But, the time for the rapture is decided by our faith and the level of our faith.
The Book of Zechariah
mentioned that there are people who will be caught up to heaven before
the rapture. And the criterion is that they should become the Christians
who will never sleep in their belief and to be watchful for the coming
of God.
1 Thessalonians 4:17
After
that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together
with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be
with the Lord forever.
She
gave birth to a son, a male child, who will rule all the nations with
an iron scepter. And her child was snatched up to God and to his throne.

For a river known as the “golden watercourse,” red is a strange color to see.
Yet that’s the shade turning up in the Yangtze River and officials have no idea why.
The red began appearing in the Yangtze, the longest and largest river in China and the third longest river in the world, yesterday near the city of Chongquing, where the Yangtze connects to the Jialin River.
The Yangtze, called “golden” because of the heavy rainfall it receives year-round, runs through Chongqing, Southwest China’s largest industrial and commercial center, also known as the “mountain city” because of the hills and peaks upon which its many buildings and factories stand.
The red color stopped some residents in their tracks. They put water from the river in bottles to save it. Fishermen and other workers who rely on the river for income kept going about their business, according to the UK’s Daily Mail.
While the river’s red coloring was most pronounced near Chongqing it was also reported at several other points.
Officials are reportedly investigating the cause.
